The weight that the scale reads most certianly does change. The average weight of a bowel movement is between 1/4 and 1/3 of a pound which is small enough that a bathroom scale may not register it. You also lose weight when you pee, sweat, and exhale. As well as gain weight if you drink, eat, and inhale (though you gain less weight than what you lost exhaling).

You also tend to weight less in the morning because your body turns those calories into CO2, and you lose fluids though breathing and sweating while you slept.

I completely agree on this.
Recenly my GF bought her first car, and I tried to give her advise on options, engines, costs, finance...I almost have a fight with her because I was trying to help her make the best choice for her needs and have the best she could buy for her budget, and she seemed to not care...and I couldn't understand why!

She's going to pay the car for the next 5 years and she didn't even test drive any of the possible choices or read a review online.

Because it matched her nails???

And before anyone says I'm being sexist, I used to sell cars, and I sold an Eclipse because it matched to womans nails. Then again, I did point that out much to her husbands annoyance...

Well I can understand why most thing that way even if I don't think the same. To most it's just an appliance, it's used to get from point A to point B, so they find it no more interesting than say a toaster oven or broom, so long as it does it's job that's all that matter, it's a necessity, not a desire. Shoes on the other hand a regular old pair of basic shoes is a necessity, lots of fancy looking shoes however is a desire and that's why they are more interested.

It's the same case with many things, and it's not just women that do that cause I've seen guys who were like that too. Computers are the same thing, some will get whatever cheap piece of junk HP computer Bestbuy sells them, while others like myself are very selective about our computers and exactly what hardware is in them, but the to the former people it's just a tool to email and surf the web, the later it's more of a passion more than just a tool.

I was with you for your first 2 paragraphs.

I understand what you mean and agree. It really comes down to what is important to whom. My brother's passion is film-making and he's vehemently trying to pursue that as a career, though at the expense of his wife because of their financial situation suffers for it. They've been married almost ten years and with little to no hope of ever having kids or even a good life at this rate.

Car driving is a passion for myself also, hence why I went for the FR-S. I've even considered maybe pursuing something of a racing career, which is an issue of friction between my fiance and I because she's concerned of the safety of it. I find myself weighing my passion for driving and that of my wife/future family and I choose the family. :/ Just seems more important to me than pursuing a dream that may or may not help your family.

Again, it comes down to personal priorities and there really isn't a "right" or "wrong" logically speaking. I just feel like the majority of men in the car world take it too far, seeing a disinterest in cars as "women stupidity" as opposed to "human stupidity".

You make good points; points i can easily agree with. I found

there really isn't a "right" or "wrong" logically speaking.

to be profound in its simplicity and agreeability.

If theres any type of girl out there for car guys, it needs to be one that wants and willing for you to share your passion with her.

We're not all clueless!! lol. Now when we're out building on his racecar im usually pretty out of the loop. I just hand him the tools he asks for. bahaha
