I just fired up an old save this week. I'm going to chase down that last achievement of killing a legendary dragon. Hardcore.:)

There have been times where I have experienced similar pressures in the past and it annoyed me on a couple of levels. 1. It speaks to the idea of a woman's autonomy being overruled by the male gaze, and as such it is my role as a man to use that gaze critically to bring a woman 'back into line'...

I've lived here for 3 years but it takes a visitor from Texas to get me to go on the London eye...

I've been in a similar situation. The lesson I learned for the future was that if someone flirts with you while with someone else and then eventually ends up with you, then the precedent has been set and if/when the cycle repeats then you'll feel like an idiot for not having foreseen it...

Swami and Tovée worked on another study looking at weight preferences and ranges a few years back. They concluded that the men that stated a preference for large women found a wider weight range to be aesthetically appealing than those that did not. I'm not sure what their bias/motivation in...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19180983 So what do you all make of this? I think that while it isn't true for me (i.e. when stress-free, I am still drawn to larger women) there might be something to this. The researchers are legit and have credibility in their work in...

There are many ways to live a life, many choices we can make and many things over which we have no agency. Over my adult life time (say the last 10-15 years) I've observed social change across society (UK) whereby the attitude toward 'other' states of being (relatively speaking) has changed...

checking in...

I thought this was a pretty decent magazine section. The article is written with enthusiasm - as is the general wont of Bizarre who regularly celebrate far more transgressive subcultures and practices than these.

In principle, I definitely agree with this but I also think that the inverse is at least equally true in most (if not the vast majority of) FA cases. Having a sexual attraction for a particular aesthetic can interfere with happiness but equally so can persuing a relationship where it is absent...

Saw this on jezebel today - and granted, while the subject matter of sex on first dates is not exactly the same as I what I was referring to in my earlier post, their quote from the associated study rang a bell;

A sage friend had some thoughts on this topic that I am inclined to agree with. First up, I don't think there is any obligation to date people of a particular size and I think many FAs (and non-FAs) do experience genuine attractions toward people that aren't physically their type. I think that...

as a big fan of KOTOR, I've been giving The Old Republic a good go of late and I'm enjoying my Jedi Consular story (couldn't help it - I'm a sucker for 'noble' characters). Are there any dims players out there?
