Thanx Shadow for being fairminded
[Read the article: It's a girl ... please]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and Drinkwater, I have plenty of my own panties.
you are right that some of my bitterness stems from having been misinformed as a child as to how women are and what they want and I had been running way too long on false notions of what snags women's attention.
To be truthful, I want the whole shebang, the mutual love, adoration, consideration and, yes, the sex with a woman. But as I have stated before, I do not trust the American system to eventually not screw me over. So I resort to fantasising about being a player. Players seem to be the only ones STILL in charge of their sexuality and not subject to being manipulated or used by women.
In three or four decades I will finally understand the intricacies of methods and manipulations to get women to take me as seriously as they take the furtive and successful players in their life now, but by then I will be old and doddering, so it will be a pat on the head, that will have to suffice as a substitute for sex by then.
Sad really, the better more naive less seasoned men get bitter alone, while the losers and criminals have free play getting attractive women (no big boobs, no dumb blondes, just attractive, like you women want us men to be).

The only treadmill I know
[Read the article: Burn that baby fat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is the industrial food one everyone has to get OFF of.
obesity is not caused by less activity but by many other things-- those food PRODUCTS being promoted by the food industry.
1. food servings are too big-- stop eating when you feel full, not when the plate is empty.
2. high fructose corn syrup is proving to be a real evil dog-- just this week in New Scientist, scientists report that HFCS forms harmful carbonyls in the bosy that wreak havoc on our systems. They apparently break down cell walls in the body, they are not understood as sugars in the same way as other types of sugar, so the body does not register themn as calories, hence you continue to feel hungry and to eat more. there is a direct correllation between use of HFCS and growing obesity epidemic.
3. Another article in the same issue implicates the rampant use of industrial chemicals in our environment and in our food-- they apparently not only have s synergistic effect in our bodies, but they cause an actual multiplier effect, causing all sorts of problems, from diabetes to hypertension on down.
4. Another article making the rounds this week talked abotu popcorn lung, caused by another chemical that is substituted for butter flavor in microwaved popcorn.
Eat organic and local, source your food, stop eating out except occasionally, quit eating the prepared industrial food products sold in the middle of the supermarket.
God knows what is put into food to make us 'feel' hungry and to eat more. It is like the compounds in cigarettes, put in there to achieve a certain effect in us.
Only a concerted effort by a large sector of society will begin to cut down the rampant experimentation on all of us and make a dent in the profits of the chemical farms poisoning us all and making us all fat.
I eat healthy. I eat only as mmuch as I NEED to. I do not have a weight problem.
Companies and government would have us all exhaust ourselves in fruitless exercise-- which only creates 1/10th of the weight loss as would a good diet (also proven by science and hidden from society-- as is EVERYTHING that would free us).
You think it is a joke? Watch disease rates continue to skyrocket-- more money for big pharma in future years. The world is becoming evil and poisonous thanks to your greedy and soulless FELLOW man.

Heh Heh
[Read the article: It's a girl ... please]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the mind is a terrible thing to waste. I am living proof of a wasted mind.. better to be thinking about lovely ripe indian mangos and bare breasted swaying women and technicolor sunsets over the Maldives. or the Canaries.
I would agree with your comments, but as I tend to run on intuition rather than theory, so I will take your comments on faith as cognizant (if that is the right word).
but I do really believe in men's rights.
thanx for the mood raiser. even my friends call me cynical lately (which is why they remain my friends, they are HONEST).

It's not rocket science people
[Read the article: Girls' suicide rates soar]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]lots of social and political elements are congregating to make this happen.
my guess is that the girls doing this to themselves are bright but outcasts socially.
while healthy average girls face a world where they have never had more opportunity than today, the extra expectation placed on them to prove themselves does winnow down to the weaker, less socially accepted girls. The outlier girls have fewer resources to handle this expectation, yet they have as much pressure as the more successful ones.
school is tougher, more homework. media saturates everything. high school cliques are undoubtedly bigger than ever with the triumph of the uber-skank in Hollywood and the media portrayals of it.
couple this with less acceptance of alternate cultures. Ironic as it seems, in this world of do what you want, it is becoming painfully clear that you are either part of the rich crowd, or you are a loser. Money and power is king.
girls are maturing faster due to all the estrogens in the environment, again, more pressure on younger girls to be a slut or be a failure.
the foods we eat are being proven to be detrimantal to mental health. devoid of natural whole ingredients, the chem food we consume is causing all sorts of mental illnesses. Big pharma is rubbing its hands in glee.
go down through the list of cultural changes in the past decade, and all arrows seem to point to less acceptance of differences in young people, a less certain future world, less autonomy within the population, and more pressure to conform or be seen as a failure.
