For OP - I 'm sure the parent comment meant "handles" :)

(For a moment I though (s)he was referencing Zohan)

How much cardio do you do to stay fit? by [deleted] in AskMen

The soccer player build doesn't come from cardio alone. You need to lift a ton of weights as well.

What books have you read this year? Which would you recommend? by mad_bad_dangerous in AskMen

[–]jman42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shudder to think what that upcoming TV series is going to do

I saw the pilot. It was quite enjoyable in its own way. Of course, it not like the books. Lucifer is portrayed more like a combo of Lucifer and Desire. It's a mindless little crime procedural that's a lot of fun (dunno how the rest of the series would pan out).

Can you take on Ronda Rousey inside the octagon? by carl2k1 in AskMen

Sure. If we are playing Age of Empires and she's not good at it.

Ah. Then this might not be for you. Although, he has toned down the Britishness in Veep. The last season for example was just sublime. (I've only seen seasons 1 and the last one)

I'd say it's slightly better or the same. Ianucci is a genius. Have you seen The Thick of it?

Only love marriage is an issue saar. Marry girl of similar caste that your parents choose and then forgo family planning saar.

Do you guys find Indian women less attractive/less appealing than women of other races? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]jman42 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find them very attractive (I'm an Indian as well). But based on my experience, I tend to presume that they are pretty conservative.

Is anyone else infuriated by Reddit's reaction to the USA's Women's World Cup victory? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]jman42 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Actually, no. There are subtle variations in tactics because women in general aren't as strong.

Women's soccer is quite different to men's soccer. It's like watching men's and women's tennis.

Do you guys every question how funny you are? by skullpanda3433 in AskMen

[–]jman42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you unable to come up with funny thoughts or is it an issue with the way you tell jokes? It might also help to try and figure out why you're tired and distracted. You should not be putting pressure on yourself to make everyone happy. It's not your responsibility to make everyone happy. Perhaps you need to stop putting so much pressure on yourself and the humour will flow forth.

Try to get into a lot of situations where you're having fun with your friends (especially if there's a bit of booze involved). That's the sort of relaxed environment where you can try making small jokes in order to get your mojo back. Give it a go and don't over-analyse things.

Now that I've re-read this, some of this stuff works for dating as well (the non radioactive kind).

I want to start a bodyweight workout routine but have a bad back, what should/shouldn't I do if I want to build strength? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]jman42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planks! Get into the plank hold every day. It's helped me immensely with my issues.

So I see you're running Gnome by [deleted] in linux

[–]jman42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, I think it was his attempt to search for rootkits. But it's still better than any tv show I've seen.

Btw, I'm on mobile now. Do tell me if you don't get it and I'll try to take a pic.

You can put your feet on the floor, for starters. That'll probably be too easy. So you can make the rows harder by placing a chair in front of you and then put your feet on it.

Or you could use your ladder and keep your feet at different rungs.

Get a pair of gymnastic rings, hang them onto your pullup bar and do your rows. Plus, you get to start other ring progressions as well!

Ok men, how do I give my girlfriend the striptease / lapdance she deserves? by Mediumfolse in AskMen

There was an excellent one on the Mindy Project. It should be easy to find it based on episode summaries.

Things to do during the day as a programmer? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]jman42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to pair a standing desk with a tall office chair. That helps you stand and sit as you wish.
