Woman #1: “What do you do when you are really attracted to a man, but understand there’s no chance to have a future with him? As in yeah, maybe he’s nice and will treat you okay, but in the end he’s fundamentally wrong for you. What do you with that guy?”
Woman #2: “You have sex with him.”
Why does sex always have to mean something? Who said so?

Ask me!
People keep emailing asking for one on one advice. They appreciate the direct approach I give. People in my personal life always call looking for guidance.
It got me thinking maybe the silent majority – those weary to ask or only curious of the answers – would like to get in on this too.
A new thing I’d like to try here on JMIB.
If YOU are one of those who are unsure of anything, just ask. Then I’ll post the question and my answer on the site. Any preference to anonymity will be respected.

The seven boys in my high school class, coupled with my daddy issues, had me thinking better than to waste my virginity on some local loser.
Which at nineteen, left me a dating novice, wasting it on a Long Island loser.
Charlie was a cute, down on his luck 24 year old, with a doctor daddy and name-brand education. I was smitten, stupid, and only paying attention to what I wanted to. Happy to think he was perfect, in his Ralph Lauren life.

Be honest -
Which one would you really pick? How does that relate to your life’s joy? What does that mean to who you are and the life you are living now?
Inspired by Hunter Nuttall’s post How do you want to die? and my comment to it.

Everywhere you look there are rules on the right way to do something.
Whether it be blogging, work, or dating there’s something somewhere telling us how to do it right.
Doing it right is what has us bored, hurting and running to be acceptable.
1. Stop trying to do things the right way.
If you don’t like the game, don’t play it. If you go along with it you’re just a hypocrite, perpetuating the very thing you deem unworthy. At that point you might as well accept it and conform. You are already anyway.
I’m sitting in my apartment wondering when this entrepreneurial risk will run it’s course. I have a fat lip from my puppy’s big, hard head bucking into my face and I’m fucking scared.
Is the road less traveled going to send me over a cliff?
I would love for this site to grow and influence and lead. I would love to help thousands of people. I know my limitations. I don’t have the means to cure diseases or invent life changing devices. Maybe I’m not fit to create something we’ll all buy one day, but the ones I impassion could.

You know when you can really feel something? When it’s so real and honest it moves you?
Those moments in life when you feel it way deep down inside. When, effortlessly, goosebumps come out because it’s so indisputably good your body reacts for you.
It makes you think. It impacts you. Great music, art and business is built on that. TED is a good example.
Don’t stand for the processed stuff. From the one who loves you, companies you support. Yourself.
This is part 3 of my series on weight loss.
As I said before, I used to be twenty pounds heavier and would like to share what I learned from losing it. I’m not professional in any sense, just an experienced person who has applied a realistic method to losing weight and keeping it off. Unlike other sites which may list ten tips for good abs, similar to the Crap Detox series, this is designed to create a basic understanding about weight loss, food and lifestyle change. One that should, if you’re open to it, create a paradigm shift with regards to weight loss and its entities.
(And you wished they hadn’t.)
Recently, someone who I haven’t heard from for six years decided to Facebook me. (Let’s add that to the list of reasons why to hate social networking.)
After initially ignoring it, this “old relationship” kept poking and messaging me. I wanted to explore this opportunity for growth. My curiosity and ego got the best of me and I gave a hesitant hello. Thankfully, after minor small talk I woke up and decided he needed to shag off.
Below is the message I sent and the lessons learned from this:
“Hey!
