For our honeymoon? The Galapagos - it was fantastic. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

At age 29: women finally get sick of ingrown hairs and razor burn on their genitals.

Elooopppppe. Eloooooooopppppe.

That's what I did. I found my husband that way, in fact. Just said fuck it and started contacting the men I was interested in. Sure, that way you'll have to face rejection, but it definitely cut through the creepers and the dudes messaging me despite being way, way out of my stated age bracket.

Well, at least it's equal opportunity random midriff baring.

Hrm, I don't know about that. The same tends to be true for women in male-dominated environments. There were only a handful of women in the engineering courses I took, but they were all ranked in the top 10% and received a disproportionate share of awards, etc. I think it might be more that because something is…

Google tells me that 100g of cooked white rice had 130 calories. So 10 kilos of white rice has 13000 calories - six and a half days' worth of calories for the average adult. And that's not counting the curry itself, or the massive pork cutlets. I'm not sure anyone should be able to win the "eat a week's worth of food…

Oh boy, grizzled white dudes in military gear save a helpless woman. It's two of the worst gaming cliches all bundled up into one shit-brown story! I'm stoked!

I found the same thing about the Escapist forums. There are posters who spew toxic bile every single time they show up and engage in nothing but shit-stirring and the mods do nothing, because they don't "technically" break the rules by swearing or attacking individual posters (they just use subtler slurs and attack…

Yeah I was going to suggest the same thing but I have no experience in this area. Pre-testing and pre-training to see if they're in the fitness range would probably help. Of course, the 45% that already are should just be able to proceed without it.

No, you're not. I was a competitive swimmer from early childhood until college and that was pretty much exactly the sample you're looking for - boys and girls who focused on the same upper body exercises, including pullups, for years. By the end of it the number of pullups we could do were not that dissimilar; in…

But these particular recruits haven't had a year yet. And the men (knowing that pullups were a requirement their whole lives) have had literally years if not over a decade of a head start. That's certainly part of the "something else".

Thing is, though, it's not "very few men" that have a problem with - it's "very few men who want to become marines" who have a problem with it. There are comments all over this section from men who struggle with pullups. Men who want to become marines, however, have always known that pullups were a requirement and…

But men who want to be marines have known since they were old enough to want to become a marine that they will have to do pullups, and will have trained for that. Many of them for years, all throughout school. Women who want to become marines will have known for... a couple of months that they'll have to do pullups.…

Same. Three pullups was where I started said program, ages ago, with no pullup training whatsoever, just being reasonably fit.

Hm. That makes sense. Three pullups would just be a warmup for me, but that's speaking as a well-rested, well-fed fitness enthusiast. I've never tried it on no sleep and no food.

..I'd say she's in the nearly half that can do three pullups just fine.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Pullups have never been part of their requirements, so they've never bothered to train to do them, and now suddenly have to quickly acquire that skill. Whereas the male marines have always had that requirement, so they had to be able to do them from the start - of course almost all of…

What gives, I wonder? Are they not being given enough time to train/build upper body strength? Because I know bored middle-aged housewives who managed to complete the 20 pullups challenge (http://twentypullups.com/), surely young female marines can manage three.

Same. If Atlus made it I'd give a chance, otherwise I'm just as sick of the bland pandering moeshit that has been ruining anime for years as I am the bland grey-brown broshooter that has been a pox on the gaming industry.
