to their own physical attractiveness to the opposite sex (assuming they are hetero, of course).

Because it has been shown many tiumes that:
men prefer slimmish/toned women with low BMI and shapely figures

women prefer the lean, typical alpha-male physique (v shaped chest/narrow waist) and low BMI.

In other words- both sexes prefer low to minimal BMI.
Why?
Numerous studies prove that subconscious and primal areas of the brain correlate low BMI/good physique with excellent health and unimpeded mobility- hence a suitable prospective mate.

Sorry fatties- but the amygdala, the id and the super-ego which rule 2/3 of all brain activity and govern most of our conscious thought- on the most primitive, primal, critical levels- find fatties repellant- it signifies poor health and an unattractive potential mate.

Summary- we in the UK are all getting too fat/chubby and we'd best all lose some weight.

Isn't it sad to see a son/daughter many times fatter than their parent?

There is mold growing on my shower door and walls. A few days ago i discovered some of it on my towel after i had dried off in the shower. If any of it had gotten into my eye/mouth, could it hurt me like cause an infection?

My main problem is that I'm ugly, no one in this world loves me. Everyone is mean to me including my own family), people treat me differently and avoid looking at me, I really don't feel anything toward life...no joy, no dreams just sadness.
No matter what I do it doesn't matter, I always feel less than everybody else.

I really want to kill myself but I just can't,I'm to scared to do it.what should I do?:(

Im told by a friend that ive got a hernia. Its a lump, just below my belt line, kind of goes down to my testicles, about the size of a golf ball or maybe a little smaller. When i push it in it kind of pops in, but then comes out again. It doesnt hurt when im lying down but when im stood, moving or sat it causes me pain.
Anyone ever had a hernia? And did you have to have surgery?

My dad is 70 and appears to have dementia. He is refusing OT and PT. I truly believes he needs mental therapy, such as conversational and practicing the brain. But I assume Medicare doesn't call that therapy?

My husband suffers from epilepsy, and has had three grand mal seizures in the last month and a half, after not having any for almost two years (not even petit mals. He is taking medication for seizures). Over the last two years since his diagnosis, he's suffered from frequent migraines, and has had a huge amount of short-term memory loss.
There's also been a deteroriation of motor functions; he's no longer able to keep up physically with other soldiers (he's in the military)(he's not overweight, even by military standards).
We're both really worried. And I can tell his neurologist is as well.
Anybody have some useful information on this?
I tried to provide all pertinent information, but if I missed anything, ask and I will add to the details.

Is it healthy if I ate Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich everyday for breakfast AND lunch (with a cup of milk)? It's quick, easy, cheap, and good.

I use Smucker's Goober Strawberry/Grape Peanut Butter and Jelly.

I also use Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat

and I drink Oak Farm's white milk..., the Borden milk cartons they have at school..., and/or occasionally the Kroger's/CVS brand milk.

For dinner, I'd eat homemade food such as rice with usually meat and vegetables of some kind.

Any suggestions, if any?

I heard that there is, but the government will not release them due to the fact that they will lose money.

My boyfriends 12 year old son has moved in with us. When he lived in Idaho with his mother she gave him fitness and engery drinks. Now he wants to drink them here, he says they wake him up in the morning. He is not active in sports and the only exrcise he gets is riding his bike around the neighborhood. So should I let him have them or are they bad for your body if you really don't need to replace vitiams and minerals from exercising?

i got a blood test yesterday and my arm is now purple and blue where the needle was put in, i can see the path of my vein for an inch and half from the purple and blue. Is this okay, is it infected? I remember giving blood a couple years back but it never turned out like this.

I've been having a bloody nose everyday for the past 1 1/2 weeks....at first I thought it was because of the dryer weather....but before I get my bloody nose I have a really bad headache and after its over I get really dizzy. Its not small amounts of blood either, and it lasts for 20 - 30 minutes.

Should I get worried about this? I didnt tell my parents about this because I'm 22 and a college grad....they shouldnt have to worry about these things....so I want to take care of it without them knowing.

This is for menopausal women. I am at the tail end of menopause. My hot flashes had subsided. Then suddenly they returned, with a vengence. I wondered why and began looking for a pattern. I am a smoker. The pattern was everytime I finished a cigarette I broke out into horrible sweat. I smoked Mistys Ultra Light. Since I am not going to stop smoking anytime soon I decided to switch brands. The outrageous sweats ended. Immediately.
I thought I would share this with you in case anyone else was experiencing a similar situation. I know I shouldn't smoke. But that is a different subject.

for awhile now my hands have been getting cold. They will suddenly get ice cold and then 10-15 minutes later they will warm up. most of the time for no apparent reason. Other times it is after I play the violin, after I type for a long time, or after I write for a while. Can someone explain to me what this is?

so for the past few months my period has been a bit off. ive been getting it anywhere between a month and 3 days since the last one to a month and 10 days since the last one.
this month i should have gotten it somewhere around the 30th. on the 27th i had been getting my normal premenstrual cramps. I had sex that night for the first time in awhile, and the cramps and everything stopped. now it is the 4th and i have them again but still no period. could having sex throw have my period? it happened to me the first time i ever had sex. could it be happening now since my boyfriend and i havnt had sex in 8 months? (long distance relationship) he used a condom and pulled out way before he came.
i also know stress can change your cycle too. I have a chem exam and a nursing midterm tomorrow morning....so maybe its all just stress?? i need advice!

Now there is nothing. I'm going to do a pregnancy test but not expecting a positive result as I do not have any symtoms. What was this spotting.
