Didn't he say he wanted to see her again, though?

Yeah I do. However there are a lot of variables at work - whether or not my unit is gonna deploy soon (because our chain of command doesn't put out friggin' info) or whether she actually wants a relationship right now.

I'm playing it one step at a time, not overthinking things. Right now I'm gonna see about getting to Austin this weekend and see if she wants to hang out.

Honestly, though, my favorite part of the whole thing was the cuddling. That was awesome.

Why do you say slimmer like it's a good thing?

So long as you're not already as fit as possible, getting in shape is always good. Why would it not be?

Mukora: Not everyone is genetically predispositioned to be "thin" and thus might push themselves dangerously for the sake of a body type they can't actually achieve.

True. But I see no reason to assume this is the case with Smythe.

Seriously, we have literally no way of knowing, aside from asking him (though even that's not necessarily the most reliable, as, for example, if he had an eating disorder, he'd have a very distorted body image, so we couldn't take his words at face value—though again, we can't just assume this).

Bitch please. Looking good has nothing to do with being skinny.

I'm a skeletal trainwreck of catastrophic proportions. Skinniness is no guarantee of being good looking or being healthy at that.

But he should know the line before things go too far.

Personally I'd rather have a slight gut than look kinda skeletal.

Why are you guys assuming he doesn't know "the line?"

It's okay to be skinny. Just make sure you have a bit of meat around your ribcage.

Agreeing with sixty miles not being long distance. Plane rides are long distance.

Also maybe we should back off a bit on deconstructing social mores for a nine-word sentence.

Honestly, I don't even know why anyone felt the need to deconstruct it in the first place. Besides, it's a sentiment I can relate to quite well.

I really don't see why. I mean, yes, we have idiots in this world like Amanda Bynes, (who despite being 100 pounds, still wants to "slim down") and all the tragedy of teenage girls with body image problems, but why should we just assume that that's the case?

It's just as likely that someone who wants to slim down weighs six hundred pounds, or two hundred, or whatever.
