Exercising / Workout

Thank you all for your comments!

I tried Zumba and pilates in the past - started and gave up many many times - so I suppose they are not for me. I also began to go to the gym on several occasions, but found their exercising to be too demanding, so - again - gave up.

Table tennis sounds fun, but I'm not sure there's any club offering that in my town.

If anyone else has some dance workout to recommend - feel free to post any time.

Exercising / Workout

Thanks all for your suggestions.

It's not that I have some special pain - it's more that I feel somehow - stiff and inflexible.

I like dancing, so I'll search for some EASY dancing routine - starting with 2-3 minutes.

And walking is always a good thing to do.

Exercising / Workout

I'm a very lazy person when it comes to exercising. Not only that I'm lazy, but I hate it. I've always had a very "healthy" attitude that it's easier to starve than exercise if you don't want to put on any weight.

However, I realized that the lack of exercising started to affect me. I have no energy, my back started to hurt and I generally feel that I really need some physical activity. I decided to start today, but then I got up and hit my toe and it is all swollen and blue now and that prevented me from starting to pursue my goal.

Maybe the Universe wants to send me some message, perhaps that I should keep avoiding physical activity?

Still, I won't allow that small delay to prevent me from starting to lead more healthy lifestyle.

Do you exercise or - maybe - play some sport? Do you have any advice for beginners?

I find most exercises to be monotonous and boring. I was searching for something that looks like dancing on Youtube, but most dancing exercises seem very advanced. I'm afraid that I'm going to give up after 5 minutes (even less)!

Any suggestions are welcome!

RE: "Tell me more..."

I think that people either use CS strictly as a dating site or they use its other features, like forums, blogs, etc. If they stay for forums, etc. they usually stop using CS as a dating site. I did that.

And I also have an impression (might be wrong completely!) that people don't take you seriously on a CS dating site if you write on forums and blogs. So, I'm not really sure if it is a good idea to post on forums and blogs if you are really searching...

RE: "Tell me more..."

I noticed this (as Limun said) among men who lacked communication skills and seemed like people who wouldn't even know what to talk about and some men who seemed like fake profiles and potential scammers. Either way - it never turned into the successful conversation.

RE: "Tell me more..."

I hate that too... It's like someone wants you to write them a novel about your life.

I usually replied with a new question. If the question was again too broad, then I would reply with a new question again and so on until we reached something particular. But, it proved like a waste of time so far - each time, because I never had a successful conversation with such a person, even if I put some effort in it. It was always some - table tennis of questions and answers until some of us got bored and stopped...

I was...

RE: Do U conform to other's opinions of U......

Everybody here seems to think that everybody else uses at least several profiles - male and female, young and old... It's rather confusing - so many people being able to lie so well, being such great actors - even having so much free time to do all that! I wish I spoke English better - then I could distinguish real from fake profiles, but with my limited English knowledge - that's practically impossible.

Maybe it's better if anyone would stop focusing on PEOPLE and simply talk about - ideas, opinions, taste, share some knowledge, have fun, chat without paying attention to WHO said what... But, this is a dating site and people still hope to meet someone. At least make friends. That creates all the confusion.

It's hard to be smart and know what to do...

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

Probably the site doesn't have paid moderators, but volunteers. It was like that on another forum where I was a moderator. If you spent a lot of time there, wrote a lot, was a nice person, cared about the place - they would ask you to be a moderator - simply as a volunteer. But, that gets exhausting in time. Same old, same old - threads, fights, trolling... You get tired. I suppose it's similar here.

We should make a distinction between "real us" and "forum us"... I guess that's hard because this is a dating site and people still hope to meet someone...

RE: Do you think it’s important

I don't like arguments.

Everyone has their own opinion and I have no problems accepting it no matter how different it is from mine own.

People who always want to be right are very exhausting. I think that having good relationships with others is more important than being right.

On forums - I like to talk to people, read other people's opinions, learn something from them, learn something about myself by sharing my own view on things... I don't like arguing, discussing, proving something to someone... Those kinds of discussions are very tiring for me.

In real life - an argument is the last resort. It comes when everything else has failed and - I hate every minute of it. If I start to argue - it means that I reached my limits of tolerance. I CAN argue - nicely and not so nicely, but I REALLY hate it and avoid it at any cost. I'd rather bite my tongue and simply - leave than get into an unpleasant argument.

Actually, the older I get - the less the talking is important to me... I rely much more on feelings...

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

I don't know what is happening on CS at the moment - open fights on forums, backstabbing on blogs...

Too bad this place isn't moderated more - not only by punishing/deleting insults, but having moderators who would lighten up the place, start interesting threads, attract new nice people...

This place really needs someone who would care for it. Each time I come back, more and more members are gone.

I don't know why the owners don't think that this place deserves any better and don't want to put an effort into it. It probably earns enough money as it is now - no need to try any harder.

The atmosphere here calls for a new break.

RE: Question for Women

Thanks, ali. You are very kind.

RE: Expectations: do women today (any age) still expect much romance in their relationships?

When I'm happy just being with someone.

RE: I Was Once The Youngest Person On The Planet

RE: Honestly, What Do You Expect Ftrom This Site?

Both.

But, in general, there aren't many forum members and especially new ones.

So, people get bored...

RE: Honestly, What Do You Expect Ftrom This Site?

There aren't enough members. That's the biggest problem of CS, I think.

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

I'm wondering if there are some interesting and fun forums, etc. online that are not empty or deserted where one could spend some time. Any recommendations?

I joined Reddit and Quora, but find them VEEEEEERY large and really have problems finding out how to use them. I constantly either open some archived threads or come across some written by teenagers. Any ideas?

Where do CS members spend time online, apart from CS?

RE: Thai cave rescue, information, live feed links and resouces

I followed the whole story...

I was so happy to hear that they got saved!

RE: Question for Women

I hope that the next time I fall in love it's going to last forever.

I'm really not interested in dating and entertainment, I want something meaningful and long-lasting.

This songs come to my mind:

RE: Love Songs

RE: Look At The Size Of That Thing

Track, your Maine Coon will be even bigger!

What if he gets angry at you?

RE: Now a days Why divorced ratio is very high

Maybe because people live a lot longer than before?

Maybe because they don't have to stay married at any cost and they can choose to leave if they are not happy?

Maybe people became too individualistic and are less adaptable, less ready to compromise?

Maybe they don't think that the marriage itself is important any more?

There are many possible reasons... And - each case is different.

RE: Honestly, What Do You Expect Ftrom This Site?

Thanks!

I was searching for something with "Maya", but it was hard to find.

RE: Profiles with false info!

I've never met anyone from CS, but didn't have those kinds of problems with other dating (and similar) sites in the past.

RE: Honestly, What Do You Expect Ftrom This Site?

Pastime and practising English.

RE: Do this CS site make you laugh?

I used to have fun reading scammers' profiles when I first joined, but haven't done it for a while...

RE: Why do so many women have either tattooed on eyebrow or pencilled on eyebrows?

Yes, but shaped.
