I wasn't nick picking I was confused. I assumed it was probably some phrase or hidden meaning or jab I was missing

I don't really care about others typos or misspellings I am one of those people able to still read and understand it mostly.

In case I didn't make it clear enough, I took for granted sly279's reply was due to genuine confusion. I'm used to people taking my own confusion as nitpicking, to the point that I don't bother to point it out anymore and just hope whatever they say later gives me a chance to get the gist of the message. I still end up understanding them much better than they themselves evidence when they're clearly too busy with the social games to listen to what is actually being said.

Moral of the story -- Before engaging in any topic you find appealing per se, make sure whomever you're talking to shares your interest in a deep conversation. The vast majority of the time, they'll just want to use speech for its rôle in primate dominance dynamics and you're in for an unpleasant surprise every single time if you don't bear these facts in mind from the start.


Yes, I assumed it was genuine confusion, also. But even if it was nitpicking, it likely wouldn't have bothered me.

I get what you mean. It really annoys me that people are that way, because it's stupid and to me makes no sense. People will use any means necessary to win an argument. They don't seem to care if they are actually correct, they just want to come out on top.

I feel like I rarely encounter people who are willing to have a genuine discussion. They are often so certain that they are correct, that they will ignore (either deliberately or without conscious effort) any evidence to the contrary.

I did assume that you were just genuinely confused. Either way, it's not a big deal.

In all seriousness though, if you are too fat, then just cut down the weight.

It'd be great to have some device that could drain fat directly from your cells. Then you could use it for frying something and repeat the cycle.

In theory it's easy - burn off more calories than you're putting into your body. Don't bother with fad diets or anything, just make sure that you're not overeating and maintain a consistent level of exercise both to burn off the fat and to keep a general fitness.

^That's part of the story.

One has to be eating in a calorie deficit, that is less food than their body needs, to lose fat.

Otherwise, where's it going to get energy if you can't provide it with any?

Also, to ensure you lose fat and not MUSCLE, one has to incorporate strength training relative to their own fitness level to maintain muscle mass and make sure the body burns fat, not muscle.

Or, at the very least, expose their muscle's to stimulus in some way.

Also, it still is the best idea to eat a healthy diet heavy in all macro and micronutrients.

A calorie deficit of 10-20% of your calorie maintenance (amount necessary to neither gain nor lose weight) is ideal.

So, a 2,000 calorie consuming person should do the math and cut that down to 1600-1800.

I know what you're saying, but one can still lose weight no matter how unhealthy they eat, but it's better to be eating healthier foods in the long-run and this will actually help you maintain muscle.

And, for the lazy among us, just save up for the blasted liposuction.

I too would be proud of my achievement of managing to save up for the surgery, only to continue my current lifestyle as it is. :roll:

If you are too fat then crop your pictures that what I'm doing, but I'm wondering why other women post pictures of other people or their dogs.

I thought the OP meant too *far*, as in distance.

What is the purpose of online dating if it's a sausage fest.
