Oh. Ha ha ha ha. I've worked in customer services for 12 years. UN-diagnosed.

I'll be better than fine.

Hey, you look like your avatar

Thanks! And for the record, I cut my hair before I saw Megamind.

Some more pics with my students and I making bread.

^^^
how do you stay so slender and fit eating bread? whatever your secret is, I want it.

Its Brulee Brot (Swiss bread) home made, whole wheat. very healthy, eat it with olive oil. also doing 100 push ups daily doesn't hurt ^^;

are you a martial artist?

umn... no, why?

your physique just resembles every martial artist I've ever known. anyways, if you can effortlessly do 100 pushups then the military [as you mentioned before] can hold no real challenge for you in terms of hard physical work or PT.

well, that was what I was thinking, although, I may have a job as an electrician coming up in the future, so I may find another route (doesn't get me to japan, but gets me somewhere)

He looks more meso-ecto-morph. I'm like that. Only female. We get named after objects like fruits and time pieces. Who wants to look like an hour glass anyhow? Reminds me of a spider.

I think an interest in cooking is a great way to become independent! I know plenty of NT guys who can't even microwave dinner without burning it.

wish I could be a meso-ectomorph.

I'm sure you are fantastic just as you are.

I've read a lot on body image and how women are harsher on themselves and other women. I wonder if this can be true for men, too. I do think the "sexiest man alive" is a joke, as most of those men are not attractive to me. The "swimmer's body," which is muscular but lean is not evolutionary sound, as that type of man would starve much faster or freeze to death than a man with more meat or hair on his bones. I don't have a type, tho, so don't listen to me.

With women, stats have been polled time and time again. And this is asking MEN (not 15 year olds), what body type they prefer. Men who have had relationships, mind you (sorry, virgins). 21 BMI is the preferred. Now what does this mean? REGARDLESS of body type, a man prefers an average to slender frame with some extra curves in all the right places. But every height wears 21 differently. That's why weight is really just a number and you should find clothes that fit. Symmetry and softness are feminine qualities. And I'm not talking about having a relationship; that takes more than physical attraction. I'm saying, line em up, rate em--Mythbusters styyyylle.

YET, here's the fun part. Women, as a whole, wanted to be 5-15 pounds lighter than that 21BMI. Astounding, to me. I can vouch that I've known more than my fair share of women who are always on a diet, going on one, or think they need one. Meanwhile, their guys think they're fine or could afford to gain some.

As for wishing to look a certain way, I can't speak for SwissPagan, but I doubt he was born being able to do 100 of anything. I try a lot harder than jealous girls would think. I have been sniped at that I'm lucky I was born this way, but it's not all genetics. I balance my diet, I walk every morning and run every evening, and I have weight exercises I do. I also teach my bordercollie mix tricks and we adventure together. It's hard for me to sit still, so that helps, but moderation in everything is key.

I can speak, as a woman who has favored men and women (tho never at the same time), I do like a little more weight on my partner. Anytime they complain about their weight, it makes them less attractive, because to me confidence is the most attractive quality.

life has trained me to not be confident about anything other than pejorism.

I've never saw this topic, but here i go.
I hate to take pictures and these two are like the only ones that i have from last year.

With my ability to never shut up and you're intelligent, short quips, we should really take this on the road. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd have nothing on us!

Andrejake - you're a good looking guy! But I hear you on the not liking to take pictures. I never really "got" the selfie movement.
