A guy at my job told me forklift operators are at the top of the food chain and women love and respect the profession. is this true? are forklift drivers a turn on? been considering getting my liscense

The question says it all why is it the opposite sex of the respective skin colour not considered attractive. Hell I even met a bisexual woman who is attracted to dark skinned men but when it comes to women she wants them pale. Even when they are undesirable pale men and dark skinned don't find each other attractive.
So the notion of opposites attracts only works on pale women and dark skinned women

Ok I know people can't control as to what or who they find attractive I'm not going to attack anyone who gives an honest opinion.

But if you feel the above question is true and can't be changed how can one overcome such situation and keep his/her confidence intact especially pale men (even when dark skin is considered unattractive on a woman , remember they are woman and woman have an easier time of finding a man )

So in the end do you agree
For men - darker the man the better looking he is

For women - paler the woman the better looking she is

Let's say there's a girl you like, but she used to be into bodybuilding. She stopped and doesn't have the muscle mass anymore, but you don't know if her bodybuilding career is completely over. She could start back up at any moment. Would you date her?

Left Photo ↔ Right Photo

You had a first date and it went very well. He/she looked like his/her pictures online. He/she was on time for the date. Both of you quickly relaxed and enjoyed the conversation. There were no awkward pauses and he/she actually appeared to know how to use their brain. You felt physically attracted to him/her and the prospect of a developing relationship feels rather exciting. At the end of the date, you kissed. . . on the lips; it wasn't a sloppy tonsil examination but it was passionate. You definitely want to see him/her again and you are happy to finally feel this way after a string of mediocre or bad first dates.

You watched him or her get in their car and drive away. Now what? Are you thinking about how many days to wait before you call him/her, or maybe text? When do you do that?

Under these circumstances, some very sane and rational people. . . (me) . . . would send a text as soon as I get home. No, I wouldn't say anything about "can't wait to see her nipples!" I might send a text that says, "I sincerely had a GREAT time tonight and I hope you felt the same way. I'd love to see you again soon, so I'll call tomorrow or Monday to talk and hopefully schedule another date. Sweet dreams!"

What do you think if you receive a text like this? Is it clingy or desperate? Is it too much, too soon? Or is it simply candid, transparent, and flattering?

When a date goes well, many people want it to end with a kiss. If there is no kiss, they walk away wondering if maybe you felt no chemistry with them, you just aren't attracted, and they expect to never again hear from you.

When a date goes well, many people DON'T want it to end with a kiss. If there is a kiss, they walk away wondering if maybe you are just looking for a casual encounter, maybe you're a player, and they expect to never again hear from you.

Does he/she want a kiss or not? How do you know? Sometimes it is obvious. She's been touching your arm frequently, wanting to hold hands, staring into your eyes. At the end of the date, she steps closer, tilts her head slightly to one side, and she seems ready for you to lock lips with her.

But it isn't always that obvious. You could ask, but sometimes that just seems more awkward than actually kissing her. At the end of a first date, do you want a kiss? Should your date ask permission first? Please comment and tell us what you do - if anything - to indicate that you are receptive to a kiss at the end of a first date.

It seems that no one admits to doing online dating but there are a ton of online dating sites that stay in business so. . . somebody is using them! Let's talk about the critical step of reviewing guys' profiles and what turns you off at that stage.

I have done online dating three times in my life: 2007-2008, 2015, and 2017-2018. When I did online dating, I reviewed hundreds - maybe thousands - of women's profiles. There were a few things that were deal killers for me: no pictures posted, pictures with apparent boyfriend, picture with Eiffel Tower in background, statements about wanting a guy who is financially secure, statements that reflected low education, statements about extreme political views.

When you look at a guy's profile, what immediately makes you hit the "back" button and move on to the next profile, despite how attractive his pictures may be?

My best friend is a girl that I've known for a few months, but we talk everyday sunrise to sundown. We've spent countless hours on the phone and are always there for eachother. When I first met her, I did have feelings for her and she had a boyfriend at the time, which made me very jealous and envious towards her. For a period of time, I really didn't like her for those reasons. But I learned to love her and she's the only non family member that I've said "I love you" to in a serious way. However, she's told me multiple times that she doesn't like me in a romantic way and her love for me is in a friendly way. Despite my contentment with that, whenever she starts to develop feelings for someone (I always know about it because we talk about literally everything) I get very jealous and it makes me feel sad sometimes. Should I tell her that I feel jealous?
