Yeah, yeah, i know. i really do just nod my head with about 90% of what you have to say about the genre and popular music in general, though.

I'd have to know more of the details to comment.

yay DC represent!!! Finally another District resident on here.

I discovered Deltron 3030.

Anything that's interesting/experimental and not some mainstream rubbish.

Pretty much any exercise will do... usually it is some sort of bodyweight strength training exercise, but weights can be used. Tabatas are very intense, and you do not need to do very many to reap the benefits - but you do have to push yourself to go all out, speed is important and trying to get as many in an interval as possible is important. A good caveat is not to make the exercise very complicated, as that really slows you down. Plyos are great for tabatas.

yep, i do.

How? I actually downloaded a timer that I set with two intervals. If you look for tabata timer, you should find a program.

Where? At home. Actually beside my couch.

The excercises I tend to do are jump lunges, jump squats, burpees, pull ups, dips...

And, I have seen improvements. I went for a run the other day, for the first time since summer, and I ran about 8k in 1 hour, with 3 1 minute rest periods. Not crazy fast, but a very good first time out run.

I did not lose weight, but went from a size 4 to a 2 - so gained muscle, lost fat.

I didn't actually find the logistics all that crazy - I just needed a timer. Then i was good to go.

I can't give away all my secrets for free! :P

You're absolutely right (on the contradiction). It defies logic, and will have a success rate of almost zero.

On the Hitch analogy, I suppose you are right that it doesn't fully translate. But I do agree about those few who made contact and have substance out of the tons of rubbish, do deserve a response. If it is expected to work as a medium for meeting people who are actually suited for you, then it is a must, otherwise what is the point of having an online dating profile if you don't give anyone (particularly those with substance) a chance?

Can you recommend some "abstract hip-hop"?

I see. So you are more interested in the motive behind the those woman's claims, irrelevant of whether their claim has any ground or not? If so then I understand now.

Yes, that's what it is thank you!!

Actually, I don't think most women are very superficial, unless you consider being attracted to certain traits such as dominance and charisma as superficial. I think they frequently say things which, if taken at face value, would lead one to believe that, but taking such utterances at face value would be a mistake.

Obviously I don't consider all the things he lumps into the superficiality category as superficial. Wanting a bad boy is wanting dominance, a character trait - not looks or height or money or anything typically considered superficial.

depends--what's the personal question?

My reading of his history of posts is that his personal experience is wholly inadequate to the task he's attempting. He hasn't experimented much at all in this area.

Cranking the introverted intuition knob to 11 on that amp produces noise, not music.

Ironically, all of those groups ARE caucasian, from a physical anthropology standpoint (which is probably what you're so slyly implying anyway). Don't try telling these folks that, though xP

No, no. I did not mean to imply men were shallow. Being shallow has nothing to do with a persons junk.

It seems to be a popular belief on the forum that women are shallow and require their partners to be handsome and rich. I was saying that I do not, I'm a little concerned with the physical and not even a little by the monetary. XD

Erg... I just get tired of being told I think like man, when, I think like a me and I refuse to believe I'm the only woman that thinks similarly.

*face palms*
No. I'm a woman that thinks this way, so I think like a woman. I'm not shallow, that has nothing to do with my gender.

I'm a DC-ite as well. Whereabouts do you live?

Lol. The book was much, much better, and it was my favorite as a kid (especially since rabbits are my favorite critters ever). The author's intention was to empathize with the rabbits and villainize standard extermination practices in England (he did do a good job at that) -- he's an animal welfare activist, after all. I never saw the movie until I was an adult so it didn't seem nearly as traumatic (though watching it once was enough -- it's not as bad to read). But bunny mass murder must have seemed awfully graphic in movie-form for a kid. Sorry for the memory... Richard Adams wrote a sequel, by the way, called Tales from Watership Down -- nothing traumatic in it, and it's worth a read.
