I'm 23, 5'7", medium build, and pretty darn muscular (but not "manly" so). I've decided that going for a "goal weight" alone is too ambiguous and misleading. I don't like what I see in the mirror, because I look kinda chunky. I've recently been doing well with diet and exercise, but I still don't have a clear long-term outlook. I'm an engineer, so I need a long-term goal in numbers, not "it's how you feel that's important." That's not how I tick. So with all that said, what would be an approximate attractive waist size (pant size, inches, whatever) for my body type. And if you have any thoughts on an ideal weight, do tell:)

Cheers and thanks for the help!

Is it my first period? I had it one day, then it went away. Since it stopped could this be pre period spotting.

I can get aroused and erect, both by my own masturbating and by my girlfriend. But, although I can pump myself to ejaculation.. it doesn't work when my girlfriend does it. Anyone have any suggestions? We've tried oral sex too, but still no juice.

I have been a firefighter and EMT-B for 5 yrs and was just a little nervous. Besides not hitting teeth what else can I do to make things go a little smoother for me when doing ET tubes?

When people feel sad and lonely, not all the time, but only once in a while and they have people around them interacting with them. What does this mean? Are they depressed? Is their some kind of inbalance in their body? How can it be fixed?
