4. Rainbow hair colors on a person who is not a model or "edgy" celebrity. That person is probably making money by looking that way. Most girls are just making people question their judgement.

3. Oversized shirts are not dresses

2. Crop tops on most people

I felt like venting about stuff I don't like in fashion. Feel free to add stuff you don't like or disagree with the stuff I don't like.

1. The killer whale/penguin looking dress that women think is chic. If you are a size 2 you look like a penguin and if you are a size 22 you look like a killer whale. I've never seen it look good on anyone.

I say this with love: Those are not formal gowns. Those are cute dresses. I like them, especially the first set, but they are not "formal" in the traditional sense.

When I was a teenager, I only wore make up on formal occasions like weddings. I think generally, day to day, teenagers should not wear make up. It can warp their confidence in the way they look naturally and make them feel ugly without it. I remember other girls wearing make up as young as 11. I didn't even own my own make up until I was 18. I still don't wear it every day and some of my friends won't go get the mail without it.

Also, it is an expensive habit that can ultimately ruin your skin and make you need it more than before you started using it.

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. Tell people you meet that you prefer whatever name you choose. I know many guys who refuse to use their first names either going by a middle name, last name, or some name of their choice. You don't have to be drastic and legally change it, just say my name is Edward, but I go by _______.

1. Your habits will affect her habits. If you ask her to prepare you healthier food, you eat healthier foods around her, and you take her out to places with healthier options, that may help. Also, maintain your workout routine even if she slacks, your commitment can be inspiring.

2. The company she keeps may be another factor. Most of my friends and I have similar body types, so if I started gaining weigh I would turn into the fat girl in the group. However, I had a friend who didn't realize how big she had gotten because mom, aunties, and close friends were big women as well.

3. Take her on dates that involve undercover exercise. For example, go on a romantic walk before dinner each night. Make it your time to talk and share your feelings. She won't be too sluggish to go out after a full meal and the water you guys should be drinking will cause her to eat less at meal time. My boyfriend took me bike riding (I was very reluctant at first but had an amazing time). Go out dancing, but limit the fatty bar food and high calorie alcoholic beverages.

4. Some women feel insecure working out with men, so she may not want to hit the gym with you. If your sister or female cousin likes her and goes to workout from time to time, you can encourage them to go together.

She probably already feels bad about the weight and maybe even helpless. You can be direct about your feelings but don't keep nagging (a lot of women are emotional eaters). Starting off small like 1 apple each day or a 10 minute walk before dinner may slowly turn into a healthier lifestyle over time.

Why wed at all if you are a feminist? Marriages are patriarchal institutions perpetuated and sanctioned by male dominated governmental and religious institutions. A true feminist wouldn't want her legal identity to be compromised by attaching herself to a man. I want my damn ring, dress, friends, family, and institution that serves as the foundation of a stable and Godly home. I don't blame them for wanting something different, but don't try to label it as feminist when you are still subscribing to the institution in the first place.

I did watch this video, the full video. I applaud her courage and her conviction. She is absolutely right.

It sounds like you're not ready for a serious relationship yet. Age is not the best indicator of preparedness. Ask all those who rushed to marry only to be a divorcee or cuckold... You just described two women who haven't given you enough to make you chose either one of them. Maybe neither of them is right. Marriage is for the rest of your life and you're still running through "what ifs."

You've not mentioned how they handle hardship, how they treat their parents, what their plans are for the future, if they want children, how they manage money, what happens when you argue with them, and how they fit into your plans for the future (just a few important factors).

Also, it sounds like you have a sure thing and a maybe. You make want to make sure you're the one she wants before you start making plans.

Ugh...that slowly back away stuff is annoying. Why waste my time? To spare my feelings? I'm an adult. The most sympathetic thing to do is to be honest and direct. Some of my best friends are exes I ended with on very good terms. We talked and agreed to separate.

So you stay in bad relationships? Or you "persuade" them to break up with you?

Public or private?
Phone, Email or In person?
Cruel or Sympathetic?

And this....

I have one friend who took all of his girlfriends to the same restaurant to break up with them. Why? Because it was public and the service was quick...

Then there's this

1. She's a selfish witch for what she did to you in the first place and 2. She's even more of a selfish witch for not allowing you to enjoy your peace and wanting to stir things up. She probably wants to talk to you to reassure herself that she made the right decision or to boost her ego. Either way you'll end up hurt and no better off. Just ask yourself what is the happiest possible outcome of speaking with her. Will it melt away the pain and humiliation? Or cause new pain? Running on a broken foot doesn't make it heal faster.

I say don't call, lose the number, and tell your friend not to bring it up again. She wasn't concerned for your well being when you were together and won't be any more concerned when she has a husband.

All those things seem OK, but don't forget to run. Direct ab work only may not create the look you want, but running will engage your muscles in a different way. A lot of exercises that require balance like planking engage your abs too.
