Thanks for stopping by SOLO for Singles! |
First impressions are very superficial judgments that we all make daily. Maybe we should, maybe we should not, but we do. Attractive packaging can give you an edge when you are being judged briefly. Packaging is an enhancement of the physical-appearance genes we simply did or did not inherit. Packaging starts with the body. Regardless of your body build, it is improved by ridding it of excess fat. So... The best possible packaging of a single's body includes the least possible fat. Getting rid of accumulated fat is a committed process. At the very least, you must commit time and energy to the task. And commitment of some money for a fitness club and personal trainer will speed the process. So, before you start down the road to lean machine, try to get realistic goals in your mind. After all, you are no longer 20 years old and you do not earn your living as a model. Why are you trying to loose weight? What are your goals? If you think it will increase your chances of dating, especially dating slim singles, you could be right. At the very least, fit and trim singles usually want to date other fit and trim singles. But not always. If you think that is the only way you will ever date again, walk through any mall and see the number of overweight couples smiling and holding hands. Thin is not a sure road to attached or happy. If your desire for thinness stems from aspirations of your friends, your parents, society, or advertising, outline your own goals first. Then if your decision is to lose weight:
As with all goal setting, be realistic or you will doom your fat battle to eventual failure. And remember that occasional cheating and back sliding is human. Don't use it as an excuse to give up, however. Just start over the next day. Pay attention to other parts of your body, too. Do you need a manicure? A pedicure? A lotion to smooth and moisturize dry skin? A shave? Most women know men are visual and often want to date attractive women. Some guys think men don't have to worry about their weight or general appearance. They think that "looking good" stuff only applies to women. Guess what? Good-looking women expect to date good-looking men.
That good-looking woman you're trying to date cares. She is not going to be impressed with any of the above. In fact, we've all seen him. A sloppy, pot-bellied man chasing a slim, fit, well-groomed, and attractive woman, often years younger than he is. |
