I thought by now I'd have to referee a rousing Rousey thread. What are you guys' thoughts on the fight tonight?

I'm 5 months into a relationship, and have literally not received even one sh!t test. Why is this, one might ask? It's all about establishing frame early. I mean right from the very first interaction. That, plus the character quality of the woman to begin with, virtually eliminates sh!t tests...

Rules are posted in stickies at the top of the forums. The Mature Man forum is for men who are age 25 and older. Your age must be visible in your profile to post here. Thanks.

I've just started hooking up with a woman, a bit of a LTR but entirely doable. She has an incredibly classy personality overall, but she does have a tendency to interrupt, which is my pet peeve. In the past I've always handled it directly, to good effect. I simply told them straight out that...

I've been talking with this 50 y.o. Human Resources woman (very well preserved) at an office that I frequent, and we definitely have a chemistry. Funny because when I first met her I disliked her. She is refreshingly straightforward and very perceptive. I notice that when she talks to me she...

I thought it would be cool to talk about what we're working on these days. Right now I'm learning Samba Pa Ti, which I've always known how to play sloppily but now I'm learning it note for note and nuance for nuance. Also working on a live looping performance of Clapton's "Let it Grow". It has...

I've been dealing with so-called "tennis elbow" for around 7 months now with no relief. I haven't lifted weights during most of that time as most exercises make it worse. Has anyone here come up with a way to heal this persistent injury, or at least to work around it? Thanks.

I just want everyone to remember that this forum shows up on Google searches, and when someone you know hits they may well see your picture and find everything you've ever posted. We mods frequently get requests to delete all posts from members who have had someone whom they know find out about...

I wouldn't mind seeing the forum default to a sans-serif font like Arial. I find it much more easy to read. Compared to: I wouldn't mind seeing the forum default to a sans-serif font like Arial. I find it much more easy to read.

Hey Guys, It's time for me to travel to other dimensions, and just don't feel right about leaving SS without saying goodbye. The reason I'm leaving is that I want to get away from the subject matter for a while, to utilize what I've learned and retool myself personally and also retool my...

I've noticed that whatever company I work with, the Human Resources woman is almost always highly attracted to me. The pattern is unmistakable. There are several companies that I contract with and with each one, the HR girls flirt with me like mad, married or not. They constantly look for...

Is there a difference between behind the head and in front of the head? I seem to notice better results in my upper lats with behind. Can you guys tell me what differences there are if any? Thanks.

I'd like you guys' opinion on this. If I'm sitting and am introduced to anyone, male or female, I usually stand and shake hands. When it comes to women, do you guys usually stand or remain seated?

Your past is a tyrant. For most people it actively works to keep you stuck in endless loops of inefficiency, and for many, hopelessness. Hopelessness can be total or it can be in one or several areas of an otherwise effective life. Your history is like a MASSIVE, heavy steel flywheel that...

What's with this new influx of people who write every single sentence as a paragraph? Don't they realize it makes it hard to read? It's like talking to someone who says, "Umm" after every sentence. This seems like a relatively new phenomenon. It used to be that guys would throw a...

I've been considering picking this up. I recently bought a BOB opponent and I want to kick his ass on the regular. The reviews on Amazon seem good. Do any of you have it? Do you recommend it?

There are a bunch of threads floating around about boundaries, a fairly polarizing subject. I thought I'd make a new thread so my point doesn't get lost in the cavalcade of boundary threads. Remember, guys, setting boundaries is conveyed as an agreement, not a dictation. You are eliminating...

Guys, I like doing push-ups as they seem to work the core as well as the arms and chest. However, I'm wondering if push-ups and bench presses are redundant. I would like to do push-ups every day, but my concern is that with presses 3X a week I'm over-working the involved muscles and not...

We men tend to think that we can be universally attractive to women just as women can be to us. This is a fallacy. An attractive woman is almost universally attractive to EVERY man. All she needs to do is cover her real looks with makeup, wear nice clothes and ... well, that's about it. In...
