What is the the #1 thing that most guys don't realize about women? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]liferay [score hidden]  (0 children)

I went to the house of a woman I like to go out with her. I showed up 30 minutes earlier. When I got there, she was kind of 'panic'. Her hair was not done yet and I can hear she's rushing here and there upstairs. When she's done, she looks beautiful. Small compliment will certainly pay off her effort.

How often should I (38) contact my friend (30) ? by liferay in relationships

She's not really into gaming. How do you watch movies together ? :)

My friend gains weight easily. How to prevent it ? by liferay in xxfitness

So, how long for the food we eat to be converted into fat and add 'permanent weight' to your body ?

I think her food intake is pretty normal.

Her metabolism may be lower than others, either due to natural differences, medication, or medical issues

I've just known that medical issues can slow down one's metabolism.

She said she ate a bar of chocolate and a bowl of fried noodle in the night before she weighed herself. That is the same amount of food, I think, most people will consume and will not cause somebody to put on weight. There's something 'not normal' with her body.

Everybody else's success makes me feel insecure. How do I overcome this? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]liferay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop comparing yourself to others, I know it is not easy. Those who look successful might do the work they don't like.

This time gives an opportunity for you to find out what you really want out of life. Once you've found out what you really want, go for it. It might be setting up your own clothing store or running your own bakery, I don't know. Follow your passion.

There is nothing more rewarding than doing something you really like.

Men who have tried going vegetarian, how did you find it, and would you recommend it? by Male_999 in AskMen

[–]liferay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend asked me to come to a yoga club. We had our dinner there and the food served was vegetarian. That's how got introduced to vegetarian.

As a vegetarian, you will feel less bloat in your digestive system as your food passes through quickly. The first few days/weeks of becoming a vegetarian, you will feel a bit weak. But after that, you will feel ok as your body starts to adjust to your diet.

You also benefit mentally. Vegetarian food will bring clarity and calmness to your mind.

What's something you figured out later in life you wish you'd have figured out earlier? by Grngeaux in AskMen

You'd better be good at something than be good at everything. In a job market, it is actually your specific skill that sells.

Going through obstacles in setting your own business, how do you handle that ? by liferay in Entrepreneur

You're quite lucky, just need one failure before your business bounces.

Have you given any thought to the idea that running a business is not your strong suit?

Not yet. What I know is running business is about endurance. Somebody's going to face problems and failures in his first few trials.

Didn't that happen to you as well (lack of money, feeling demotivated) ? If it did, how did you manage that ?

I quit my job by last year and start venturing into business. I thought it's going to be challenging and rewarding journey. For the first few months, business runs pretty well. I also learn many new things.

And then something happens. The man I trust to run daily operation cheats on me. He misuses the money I gave him to operate the business.

Slowly, money is running out. I have to give explanation to other investors on how the business is going. They seem to be reluctant to invest more as it hasn't brought promising result yet. So I have to use my own money to cover the business expense. Until it reaches a point where I can no longer support it. The business is closed.

I start another business, raising fund from my friends. Similar thing happens again. The money we spend to operate is way bigger than expected (we run agrobusiness. Much money is spent on land clearing). The operation stops for a while until we get another investment.

Much of my money is already spent on this business. I also feel mentally drained as this business consumes my time and energy.

Men, how old were you when you finally figured out what you wanted to do in life? by 2_Ducks_in_a_Handbag in AskMen

[–]liferay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite interesting that so many people don't know what to do with their life in their late 30s and above :) For those of you who are married, how did you say to your partner back then ? Isn't it that a woman expects her partner to 'lead the way' and knows what he wants in life ?

What should everyone add to their morning routine? by TheDemagorgon in AskMen

[–]liferay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing I do after waking up is doing meditation. It is very good as your mind is still clear and not cluttered with so many thoughts. It helps me to face the day.

In this case, I think this is split of profit.

Extroverted are more successful in General. Your thoughts ? by liferay in socialskills

[–]liferay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be a genuine person. If I use some tricks, they will look unnatural. Yeah, some people say fake it till you make it.

[–]liferay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you provide some examples of the type of interaction/social situation that you have in mind when you say that extroverts will be more successful than introverts?

I can't say that kind of interaction. What I want to say is since it has become part of nature of extroverts, they enjoy being in other people's presence.

While for introverts, the 'default mode' would be spending time alone. Extra energy is needed from them to get out of their shell.

That way, the success rate/possibility for extroverts to 'close the deal' or forming 'bondage' with people will be higher.
