I didn't get the lapband because one can control the amount of saline that is filling it. I had the Roux n Y. Although many complications followed I became a healthier more active person because of it. A friend of mine did get a gastric sleeve and has had remarkable success without complications. With any weight loss surgeries one has to completely change their way of life. Exercise and healthy eating must accompany any procedure.
Hence my opinion. Why chance the complications of the surgery if what you need to do is change your routines?

Trust, I don't trust many people. Once you have your heart broken, trust is a hard thing to give to someone.
I am independent. I do every thing for myself. Asking or accepting help or a shoulder to lean on is not something I do. If I don't ask then they can't let me down.
I like my alone time. Some guys don't get that. They think because we are dating that we should spend all our free time together. I am a big girl I do not need you glued to my side 24/7. Apparently this line of thinking makes me a huge bitch.
This would be a very good description of myself as well.
(okay so I have issues

EDIT: Also, a fun game: For those of you who have been writing a while, go back and read something you wrote maybe a year ago and ask yourself, "Does this reflect my best work? Would I give this a 5? What could/should I have done differently?"
Be your own critic, and fuck the rest. Literally.
Shit, I look at my older stuff now and just shake my head. the story in my signature right now is a good case in point, (Still, not the newer one) I hadnt read it in ages, but it was one I had always want to do as an audio. As i read it I couldnt help but see all the things that the story lacked. Some of it I changed where it was very obvious, but other bits, I left as they were. Im not going to do a complete revamp, these stories show me how far I've come. and I hope that as I keep progressing, some day I'll llook back and think the same about the stuff Im producing now.

For me? I'd rather people were honest. If they don't enjoy my stories, I'd rather it was said and brought to my attention so that I might learn from it for the future, so that I can improve. And I want to say a thank you here to Dirty_D who has been helping to give me an honest, outsider's opinion of my writing recently. It really does help to see it through another person's eyes; we become far too attached to our own words.
You are very welcome.
In my turn I have to thank someone who has helped me: Delphi. If it wasn't for her lovely bitchy eyes teaching me things I should be aware of when I edit, my writing would be much poorer indeed.

Sadly, in my experience, authors don't ACTUALLY want to know why I felt their story deserved less than a 4.
Everyone claims to want constructive criticism, but they really just want people to blow smoke up their ass. Comments of mine have been labeled as negative and unnecessary when all I did was offer an opinion on how the story might have better captured me. I've even seen some of my more critical comments go missing.
Now, when I leave comments, I try to focus on the specific aspects of the story that I enjoyed (there's almost always at least one thing). That way, I'm still being constructive (because if I didn't comment on something, then it wasn't an outstanding aspect of the story) but running a lower risk of offending anyone, which is the last thing I want to do.
I don't think every 1 or 2 vote is "malicious" (which, in itself, if quite a dramatic word)—sometimes people just don't like it. I would NEVER assume someone had given me a low vote out of spite. I like to think I don't do things that would cause others to act so spitefully towards me. A story being awarded an RR doesn't exclude it from low votes from others—an RR is awarded by ONE person.
Bottom line, though, is that some people are cunts on the internet. You just gotta take the good with the bad, and remember that it doesn't really matter what your average score is—it doesn't actually change the quality of your story.
Clum, your comments have always been very well thought out, and I value them more for what they suggest I improve on then any "I loved it" comment. Please don't ever stop giving me your brutally honest opinion.

I know but I'm not talking a blanket option just for low scores.
I believe that if someone votes a story low there is a reason and we as authors need the criticism in order to improve. This also stops the people from voting low for no reason.
Just an idea I thought I would throw out
If I remember correctly, and I might not be. There used to be this in place.
this artificially raises scores, as then people are forced to comment so they simply change it.

Well said.
The problem with a critical review is you end up being blocked if the author throws their toys out of the pram.
This has happened twice to me, both Gold Members and both Gay Male stories. If you can't take criticism then DON'T PUBLISH!
As far as a low score goes, you can't please all of the people all of the time. I would rather have a low score than no score. At least the reader was interested enough to give a score.
Feel free to vote on my stories as you feel so driven.

I'm all about the fantasy aspect of things and I'm not looking to monsoon on anyone's parade, but damn...at least use the same porn star within the same album. Shit.
Maybe its like one of those "chose your own adventures" books
you know, pick the character, then pick the fantasy? Ill take the middle girl and Ill have her start by cleaning my house. Maybe she could vacuum the carpet for me?
