Re: 7Wannabe5-Take 5
Any kind of weight lifting exercise with a stretch at the bottom of the eccentric portion will do the work of stretching too. I was never more flexible than when I was doing deep squats, dips, chinups... those kinds of exercises with a big stretch at the bottom. The swings I mentioned before have this too. Pushups and crunches do not have the eccentric stretch.
So if you want to save some time on stretching & lifting, try exercises that incorporate a stretch point. Think DB bench instead of pushups, glute-ham raise situps instead of crunches, assisted chinups/lat pulldowns for your back, and swings and squats for your legs/hips.

@Kriegsspiel:
Thanks for the advice. I will look up the words you typed on YouTube since I do not know what they mean off-hand. Unfortunately, I do not think it is possible that I could ever do a chin-up.
In celebration of recent discovery that my heritage is more Russian than previously believed and my lack of desire to go on a reducing diet, I have decided that my new ideal will be Katya Zharkova. Even though I am too fat, my bust is 10 inches bigger than my waist-line, and my butt is 14 inches bigger than my waistline. I just want to get rid of the little bit of jelly belly below my waistline and render everything else more muscularly supported.

Re: 7Wannabe5-Take 5
No problem, I assumed as much. IIRC the Wayne State gym has an assisted chinup machine, where you kneel on a platform that helps you pull yourself up. The lat pulldown is kinda the same motion but you're pulling a weight down via a pulley, as opposed to a chinup where you pull your body up to a bar.

Yeah, there’s a thin line separating “built” from “slob” for members of both genders. One of my sisters, in a mean moment, told me I looked like the female version of Donald Trump.

Re: 7Wannabe5-Take 5
Until reading that, I never thought I could feel more ashamed of being attracted to a female than that time I realized I had just slept with a transsexual. I mean, even if she said you looked liked Hillary Clinton, I think I could go on.
But now I just feel like looking at pictures of Katya Zharkova and praying for death.

Well, it might have mostly been a commentary on my drugstore peroxide dye job. My female relatives think I am too frugal in the girl-stuff category.
Anyways, one of the 3 reasons I have to either break up with my BF or become actively polyamorous again is that he likes tall, blonde, green-eyed and slinky with no boobs, and I only fit 3 of those categories. Also, he is heteroflexible to the extent that I think he might even prefer Taylor Swift's identical twin brother to me (sigh.)
I was almost tempted to post a headless pic of myself, so that means it is time for me to get off the internet!!!

Being too skinny is a health risk the older you get. Having 10 or 20 pounds you can lose due to illness, etc is a saver. I'm too lazy to dig up the tables, but those extra pounds (that range) add up to longevity over the skinny counterparts.

I'm digging the litEREotica journal. Two birds one stone (the saying, not the forumite), etc.

For whatever it's worth, even with the Donald Trump analogy, I wouldn't take the flat chested and totalitarian alternative.

Yeah, your perspective changes when you've lived long enough to see women you knew as an adult in their 50s age into their 80s.CS wrote:Being too skinny is a health risk the older you get.

Anyways, after playing around with a variety of maximum possible muscularity counters linked on other thread, I have come to the "shocking" conclusion that when I say "...but, I have big bones!", it is not just an excuse I would truly look like a POW camp internee if I ever managed to reduce my weight down to the bottom of the healthy BMI range, and I am happy to strut about naked at 5'9" 169.
I hope I didn't convey that I am overly dismayed at not matching my current BF's ideal. I knew I wasn't exactly his cup of cake from the get-go, but it didn't matter when I had two other lovers who were very interested in me sexually. I have become very self-absorbed in old age, and I am only interested in meeting my own aesthetic and moderating health risks.
Well, for whatever it's worth, I once read an article that suggested that men who are breast triggered are more dominant than men who are leg triggered, because they were likely more often carried around at breast height as infants. This is also why you are not supposed to carry puppies around at that height if you want to be able to train them. So, based on this very theoretical theory, Taylor's fans would probably like the totalitarian stance in conjunction with the legs.Jason wrote:For whatever it's worth, even with the Donald Trump analogy, I wouldn't take the flat chested and totalitarian alternative.

Is Sexual Personae worth reading?
Re: 7Wannabe5-Take 5
Paglia confuses me, because she strikes me as post-feminist, yet she is a strong critic of post-modernism. I don't find it so difficult to reconcile the fact that hormones are very influential with the fact that they aren't all defining. I haven't read the book, maybe what I have read doesn't do her justice?

That's the winter uniform. Maybe it was a shoulder season when that pic was taken.
Re: 7Wannabe5-Take 5
High heels always convey a bit of a mixed message, because they make you taller, but less able to run. I thought I didn't own any anymore, but I found a couple pairs in a box I missed in my last bout of ultra-minimalism. When I was 17, I wore high heels almost every day even though they made me taller than almost every boy in the school. So, I'm not inclined to judge.
Re: 7Wannabe5-Take 5
I do not much about Camille Paglia except that she has a very unpopular and contrarian view of sexual assault. Her opinions are so out there, that one has to wonder if she says things just for effect. She's a public intellectual, so she gets to address everything.
Lena Dunham's mother is Jewish which makes her Jewish in the eyes of the Jewish community. So there is a disconnect between the picture and the headline, unless it was like a reenactment of a "Welcome to Aushwitz" Talent show. Considering the body language of the other's, Lena's smile belies a naive optimism that the good feelings equate to equal footing.

I posted discussion between Paglia and Peterson on gender differences on Jordan Peterson thread.
