Soul mate?

Blasphemy!

 

i didn't know if that was one of your healthy guidelines

i've read about correlations between consumption of red meat (or is it processed meat?) and cancer, saying that you shouldn't eat it more than 2 or 3 times per week. i would be inclined to think it's from nitrates in processed meats than from just any red meat. or maybe the way that it's cooked, since burning fat produces benzopyrene which is a carcinogen

 

See, I think that is somewhat of a fallacy, and I really think it depends on the totality of what a person eats. If a person is eating mostly whole foods which are not pro-inflammatory, then I think their risk of cancer is already going to be lower than the average person who consumes meat, as well as a lot of other things which are not so good. A lot of these studies are based around people who consume a standard "balanced" diet, which also happens to be high in sugars, starches and grains. Most of these studies fail to take that into consideration, and are quick to say that meat is the culprit.

Sugar and refined carbohydrates contribute much more to cancer (and high triglycerides, high blood pressure, diabetes, Alzheimers, etc.) than meat does, though I think it's also important to call into question the source of the meat, and what the animal was fed / injected with while it was alive. Most of the studies which appear to demonize meat fail to do this, and lump all meat into one category.

 

I honestly eat nothing but meat! The only vegetable's ill eat is corn and potatoes. I eat breads and wheat, But nothing else veggie wise, Cant stand it.
Hamburger, Steak, Pork chops, Chicken, Tuna, Salmon, Catfish and not a whole lot more ill eat. Im picky and wont eat it if cooked with it! So are some of my close friends.

 

whatever happened with this chick? did you guys hang out after this?

 

Salmon is meat now?

 

Fish flesh is a kind of meat, naturally. Did those vegetarians trick you into believing otherwise?

 

Thanks a lot for the necropost, Rainy. This is old news. I am seeing someone else at the moment.

As far as this particular person which the thread is about, I communicated with her for a while, but we eventually lost contact with one another and stopped communicating. I suck when it comes to responding to texts, phone messages and e-mails, so after she messaged me a few times and I didn't respond back, she apparently gave up.

I feel kind of bad about it still, but what can I say?

 

Damn, you are seeing/dating another one already? How did you do that? I don't mean to sound that suprised I mean for someone who dislikes social stuff like bars and stuff I just wonder how did you meet?

 

OKCupid mostly. That's really the only way I meet people since I don't go out to bars. I don't really go out unless it's on a date, and then it's usually to a restaurant, coffee shop, and / or movie.

 

I go out to bars every once in awhile, but not really to actively look for dates. Since 2 of my closest friends succesfully met their girlfriend from a local dating site I am sometimes thinking of giving it a try too (some people advise me to do it) but I don't feel much appeal. Making a profile, first dates with strangers, pay for a proper membership. How do you feel about going on the first date (in general)? A drag? Positive anticipation?

 

OKCupid is free.

First dates are usually OK. So far nothing too painful. I usually talk to people for a while (a week or so usually) online and via phone before actually meeting them in person, so it's not like a blind date or anything like that. If it's someone I share common interests with, it often goes pretty well. There might be some initial awkwardness, but as long as there is something to talk about, it's alright.

Even if nothing serious develops, it's still a way to meet new friends.

 

Indeed bars are not the best place to meet, you'd rather go there just for fun. I never met someone I ended up dating in a bar or club, hook-ups yes, new friends once in a while, but no serious relationship.

As for the dating sites OkCupid is good, there's a lot of people from everywhere so you always have a high probability to meet locals no matter where you're from. I met a lot of cool people in there, many of which have become great friends since. Another site I used to go to a lot is eharmony. I especially liked the fact you gotta fill out tests and then the site proposes complementary matches according to what you answered, so from the start you know you got something in common with those persons.

 

Yeah I agree. Common interests make for a good click right away and good conversation. Frankly I don't see the point if there aren't more than one common interests. It is pretty certain for me now that a relationship would not last very long that way.

That's cool too but it would not be why I am on there at all. Basicly I feel (sometimes, not always ) like having a fun girlfriend again. I don't feel much for the process of actively getting one I guess (unless it happens on itself, which it rarely does)

 

I was curious as to what happened and what better thread to revive than a discussion on soul mates?

 

I've only dated one guy I met in a bar and he turned out to be an alcoholic lol. We casually dated for about a month and I started to get the picture he didn't like to do anything but go to bars.

so I really wouldn't recommend going to bars to find someone.

 

well, i'm sure somebody once dated a guy she met in the library who turned out to be an alcoholic too. doesn't necessarily mean library hookups are a bad idea.

looking for dates at a bar is a bad idea for sure, just not based on one case study.

 

Library hook ups are a shitty idea so shows how much you know

 

Boo hoo, I found my type and she's attracted to me.

.....some of us don't have a type and never will meet it if we do, and will probably never have sex again anyway.

This thread makes me want to commit suicide by carbohydrate.

 

If one doesn't have a particular type they're attacted to do you think that will mean they have less or more chance to have sex again? According to my logic they would have more chance since they aren't looking for one particular type
