"Insertable seat belts for old-timey cars. Click it or ticket, Cousin Matthew."

Even if there's not a danger element present, it's well-established that many (possibly most) men take a woman's "no" as the opening of a negotiation. I know that after a while, I'd much rather flake than go through a 20-minute interrogation of why my "no" isn't reasonable, how I need to give him a chance, why my…

Also, the complaint is simply false. It's basically tone policing. There's nothing dishonest about not returning a phone call. The message it conveys is that you don't want to speak to the caller. It might not be the most polite way of conveying the message, but you can't call it dishonest.

This piece is dismissing a major reason lyric videos are trying to be interesting and grab attention- they count towards the Billboard Hot 100 now. This is also why artists are putting out increasingly controversial music videos.

One of his Non-Nice Guy Nice Guy (TM) things is something I keep seeing posted by whiny man-boys: They get very put out that women aren't "honest" with them when they want to run away. But this gets down to the very lack of understanding these men have with women and the lives we lead. We we have to turn you down,…

He sleeps in a sleeping bag that he washes twice a year. TWICE A YEAR?

With abs like this, he hasn't eaten any Kraft product since 2002.

Judging solely on the bevy of your comments to this article, you're like the female (I think, or gay male, whatever it's all good with me) Masuka and I love it.

I consider weight loss easy for 2 groups of people—those who don't have to worry about their weight, and those who work hard to lose weight and then see the results. But I'm one of the third group—those who work hard and see very little in the way of results. People from groups 1 and 2 have a hard time accepting…

I suspect that perhaps having either boobs that project at an acute vertical angle or boobs with the natural texture of velcro would help.

Hmm. Interesting. And what's the science behind that "poptart's worth of calories" statement you so assuredly make?

Obesity has become a public health problem, and it needs to be fought using public health methods. Yes, people are responsible for their individual choices, but the prevalence of obesity in modern society shows that there is a larger systemic crisis at play here. You can rail at people all you want, but yelling "BE…

The problem here is dismissing it all as "feeling sorry for yourself" and then setting up an army of strawmen.. We're not just talking about some mope who just got dumped and can't stop watching Sleepless in Seattle — we're talking about someone who faces routine shitty treatment from all directions. People who…

I'd like to honestly ask a question as someone who has never been overweight and without being at troll: Is being overweight ever the fault of the individual...EVER? Very few people put the blame on themselves and want to play victim.

That's precisely the point. Will is a resource impacted by and used for almost everything. Just like people have a certain amount of money to spend, they have a certain amount of will to spend. This is one of several intersecting factors that is a potential contributor to weight.

Just like any other human characteristic, body size = nature + nurture

Everyone.

Oh thanks for the tips, Doc! I'm glad you're here to educate the masses. Listen, I'm doing my thesis TG in nonadipose tissue (ectopic fat), and it's association with insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism, especially in the cardiac region. I've been hearing some news about the impact that mitchondrial function has…

And *gasp* it could happen to them!
