Although they try their luck with others, they get really pissed off if the woman leaves them.

Although the woman leaves them they still don't learn from their mistakes and still try their luck with others.
Women:

The most important thing for a woman is financial security.

Although this is so important, they still go out and buy expensive clothes and stuff.

Although they always buy expensive clothes, they never have something to wear.
Although they never have something to wear, they always dress beautifully.

Although they always dress beautifully, their clothes are always just "an old rag".

Some Facts About Exercise

Some facts about exercise:

There is no difference between stronger, larger, and firmer muscles. Those three go hand in hand. It is simply untrue that one kind of exercise will build a different kind of muscle than another. The only three variables you can influence with any type of exercise are: muscle mass, muscle shape, and the amount of body fat.
Each pound of muscle (1 pound = 0.45 kilograms) burns 75-100 calories every day simply by being.
A pound of body fat stores 3500 calories.
Your muscles do not grow during exercise. Exercise is only the stimulus. The body strengthens the muscles while you are resting.
The amount of rest needed in order for muscles to grow depends on their current size. The larger it is, the more it needs to rest. Gym beginners should rest at least two days between exercise. After a year in the gym you should probably rest three days. And so on. By exercising every day you are hurting your body and retarding muscle growth!
The only way that you can know that you have stimulated the muscles enough is to train to failure. If, after some number of repetitions, the muscle is unable to move for 15 seconds even though you are willing it to, then you know that you have provided maximum stimuli.
Your body doesn't care if you muscle failed after five repetitions of an exercise or after 50. Use the weight that allows you to do 4-8 repetitions for maximum safety and time efficiency. And there is no reason to do more than one set.
You can hurt yourself during exercise if you apply excessive force to your muscles. The force when lifting a weight is F = m*(a + g), where m is the mass of the weight, a is the acceleration, and g is the force of gravity. Mass usually doesn't vary greatly. If you can lift 100 pounds 10 times, the max you can lift once is 133 pounds. A 33 percent increase. However, people who use quick, jerky movements experience the acceleration differences of over 400 percent. So work very slowly. Raise the weight for ten seconds and lower it for ten seconds.
There is a myth that says that "aerobic" exercise is good for you heart. But if you keep breaks during exercise very short (~ 1 minute), your pulse should be at 120-180, exactly what people try to achieve with "aerobic" exercise.

Man Week begins TODAY

day 1

We start off this week with a very interesting observation. What is the smelliest body part on a man? Now some people would say their armpits (well, most people actually) and some people would say their feet (not very many though). Well, the truth is, it’s a matter of opinion, some people say the scalp is the smelliest part on a man. Well here is the top 3 smelliest parts of a man.

1. THE GROIN

The pubic area is an odor hot spot. It is warm, sweaty and has a good amount of glands and hair follicles. It is prone to infections, particularly in the vagina. It rarely gets exposed to the open air and is often covered over with synthetic unbreathable clothing that traps moisture and bacteria.

BO Busters

Use fragrance-free cornstarch powder to keep the area dry
Wear natural fiber or wicking clothing
Go commando when you can
Avoid covering up odor with perfumes, which don't kill the odor-causing bacteria

2. THE UNDERARMS

This area is the first place we think of when we think of body odor. It has a dense patch of hair and is loaded with sweat glands. People of European or African descent have many apocrine sweat glands, and East Asians have fewer.

BO Busters

Use underarm deodorants that contain alcohol or other agents that kill bacteria or rub a crystal rock deodorant composed of mineral salts
Use an antiperspirant which reduces moisture (Tip: apply antiperspirants at night when you sweat less for maximum absorption into pores)
Shave, wax or laser underarm hair
Avoid using harsh body soaps that wash away the natural barrier that protects against bacterial growth
Avoid masking over odors with synthetic fragrances

3. THE FEET

It's no wonder that feet smell. As soon as man donned shoes to better traverse the terrain, we prevented the evaporation of a quart of sweat released from thousands of sweat glands each day. Closing up the feet creates a dark, moist, warm environment that bacteria love.

BO Busters

Wear socks made of cotton or other wicking material that can absorb perspiration
Use dehydrating foot powder and footpads that contain activated charcoal that absorbs odor
Use a tea soak 30 minutes every day for a week to allow tea tannins to constrict sweat pores
Go barefoot or wear open sandals when you can
Try adding a few drops of essential oils such as tea tree, sage and clove to a footbath containing arrowroot and baking soda
Rub some rubbing alcohol on feet at bedtime
