Fuck you Terri, I actually saw a red skirt today that is just perfect... But fuck that and to heck with tucking. I'll never actually do it, but you actually made me think of considering to possibly try it. >:|

Aww, Huelen, you're inexorably linked with Mona in my mind <3
 
Guys who are hot because they look like they'd just as soon kill you than sleep with you. He could be a Bond villain.

Not to be a wet blanket, but, why would you need to wear glasses while weightlifting?
If anything, seems they would just be a distraction, unless your vision was absolutely horrible (like mine >.>)

I don't think I can handle romantic talk. I want low key, like we can go to a really nice cliff side restaurant on a date that is grand romance, but don't start saying stuff like "we're one person now" or I'm outta there. I basically want our actions to do all the talking on that side and for you to look bored or concentrated with everything else around until I'm saying something really funny and then you can laugh and go back to looking prison hot or white collar prison hot. I don't like talking for probably 60% of my day so it's gotta be okay to just sit around and not give attention, just company.

I am fond of that phrase "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen." Be cold and hella laid back most places, but while standing next to me. I think I like equal parts aloof, smoldering, wit, and charm. But who knows? Maybe I'll wind up with some chatter who I find very funny and brightens things up.

Somewhat related maybe...I had a friend a long time ago where we didn't need to talk. When I was going through a particular bad time in my life he came over and we just watched TV. He didn't try to pry or make stupid comments. He just knew I didn't want to be alone. And it was always platonic with him so it wasn't ever awkward. I miss him. :(

Well, I went on a date with a guy on Tuesday and the conversation was mostly me asking a question, him answering it, and then there would be awkward silence until I'd ask him something else. The conversation wasn't flowing organically at all, and it was just weird to me. I just wanted to get to know the guy since we knew next to nothing about each other, and I wasn't making any meaningful progress. Maybe he felt intimidated, I dunno. If he asks to go out, I'll give him another chance, but I know I'm not making the move to ask him again. I'm not looking for a gossipy dude and don't care for all the sappy "YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT" stuff, but I need more to work with than a mere "I like the Walking Dead." I didn't want to be an asshole and go "...is that it?" but I really felt like it.

Eh.

I wear glasses while weightlifting because I can't see clearly past four inches from my face.

But what do you need to see? The weights are in your hands, you know where they are.

Disclaimer: I don't weightlift. Or, at least, nothing more than like 30 pounds or so that I've had to use in therapies when recovering from medical conditions and such. So, I may be missing a significant visual component that's part of weightlifting. It just always looked out-of-place to me when you'd have someone lifting any significant amount of weight while wearing glasses.

Side note: I'm not complaining, mind. I find glasses attractive, so I have no complaints. Just trying to understand the specific situation of wearing them while weightlifting.

P.S. In writing this post, every single time I went to write "weightlifting," I wrote "weightlighting" instead, and had to go back to fix it. I have no idea why that is >.>

Well... if I can't see past four inches from my face without the whole world going into blurry double vision, why would I ever take my glasses off aside from occasional situations where they literally can't say on my face (swimming) or I'm going to sleep? People wear glasses all day long for everyday activities including just standing still, so I'm confused as to why weightlifting with glasses is seen as odd. Even with all of that aside, before the weights even get into my hands, I have to see which weights I want in order to grab them in the first place. And considering I do barbell lifting with plates in my garage...

...I need to be able to see clearly if I want to put the plates on the barbell or move around or inside the power rack. The less clarity I have with my vision, the increased risk I have of injury.

If they're everyday glasses and not just reading glasses then why would you need to take them off? I wear everyday glasses meaning I only take them off for sleeping and showering.

You also need your glasses to scope out other hot guys in the gym.
Heh, actually it's all the hot guys in the gym that led me to making my own home gym. There are too many of those guys hogging up all the equipment, and I don't have the patience to turn a 30 minute lifting session into two hours because I have to wait in a queue.

I guess I just figured that they would be a hassle/distraction when trying to do stuff.
But then, my glasses are huge and heavy, and tend to slip/fall off if I don't adjust them regularly, so I guess that may just be me.

I need to get one of those glasses chains like old people have >.>

P.S. Glasses are indeed hot, so again, no argument there.

P.P.S. I also leave my glasses on all day, aside for when I'm taking a bath or something >.>

I don't necessarily have a problem with talking, as such - I'm incredibly obnoxious in that regard - but I agree about not being able to stomach the more obsessive, melodramatic sort of romantic conversation. Though since even ordinary compliments are difficult to deal with, regardless of how rote and insincere, it's likely just another manifestation of insecurity in my case.

Damn you contacts!

That hideous, generic tattoo...

The offending flesh must be stripped from him at once.
 
I started watching Orphan Black tonight and so far its been pretty good. I really like the female lead and her gay bestie is diva enough to be endearing and not annoying. I am 2 episodes in so i hope it delves more into substance because its been a lot of flash.

Yeah they are a hassle, but they're everyday glasses, and I just don't like walking around the world when everything is a blur, and that includes the gym. There are times where I go without my glasses, and it feels a little weird. Sometimes I put on my contacts when I go to the gym though.

It's not a bad show, and yeah Felix is surprisingly endearing for someone playing the comedic diva character. I think it was pretty good first season. Second season was a little eh.

Come on, it's just getting positive buzz since it is a gay current Grammy nominee putting it out there. I always ruin British hits for myself by finding them on the UK iTunes chart and then when I'm done with it, America gets it and it stays for 4 months longer than I wanted, but whatever makes people happy. You all in middle america can have Sam and Adele until they make new albums.

I'm British tho

besides idgaf about his sexuality when his music is painfully generic

Just my personal preference.
Obviously I can't control what anyone else does.
Including my wife - who continues to use makeup and perfume despite me specifically saying that I dislike it >.>

why would she stop wearing make up cos you asked her to? surely if it helped your significant other feel attractive you'd support their endeavour?

Happy birthday Caladrius. :)

For example to see what plates you're putting on the bar ;)
It's easy when plates are color-coded; but when all plates are black (and they usually are) it's really annoying to constantly had to bend over and squint while looking for the weight you want.

Not to mention, after an hour or so of not wearing glasses, and thus constantly squirting, my eyes feels tired and I have a slight headache. So I gave up and nowadays just rock glasses band so that my glasses won't move or fall over during more dynamic exercises.

You also need your glasses to scope out other hot guys in the gym.

Welp, that too >_>

Damn you contacts!

I wanted to post that other Dead Space 2 eye operation gif...

And remove the "+10 to cuteness" attribute? No way!
Damn it, I saw the gif and I was holding my breath just waiting for the worst part. :'(

A guy who wears glasses and takes them off, looks sexier, and if he puts them on again, it goes sexy+10, and that cycle goes on just adding to the sexy. Extra points if he is looking at me and smiles while doing so :)

:/ Good company is hard to find. Hope you get to keep in touch with him or find something like that again.

I don't think you or Sai count as the middle american demographic, I just meant it as a blanket statement for who I think is keeping the music on airwaves for so long. Soccer moms and such, as we call them here.
 
Happy birthday, Caladrius!

Ick. I was briefly worried that this thread was gonna get me shouted at in class.

... Then again, pretty much all of it's basically NSFW half the time.

She hasn't, and she won't.

I do.


Seriously though, I don't know what your issue is here. I was discussing a personal preference.
Should people not post pictures of people with facial hair, because what about people who can't grow facial hair?
Should people not post pictures of people who are thin/muscular, because some people just enjoy eating and are happier being heavier.

Why should anyone have any personal preferences.
Just let everyone do what they want, be how they are, and be happy with that.

There's nothing wrong with any of that.
But, different people have different things that they like and dislike and prefer. That's life.

oooh! I see now I misunderstood your initial point. his whole "adele-lite" is kinda interesting but mostly boring, I'm more interested to see how well 25 is gonna do

She hasn't, and she won't.



I do.

lol? you're kinda twisting my words here

it's fine to have personal preferences, I just took issue that you thought make up was "disgusting". I probably wouldn't have said anything if you'd just said "I prefer people who don't wear make-up" or something, but whatever

the general tone of the post was a bit judgemental that's all
