The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I think it's fine to lie about things that shouldn't matter, but it's funny to think what the opposite sex might consider to be in that category. If it were socially acceptable, instead of asking a girl, "Do you have a boyfriend?" a man might ask, "How many boyfriends have you had?" When you interrogate the ends of the bell curve, it seems that women want men that other women want, and men want women that are chaste (but not for them).
So, I think you should lie, but I'm not unaware that, if I want to be consistent, I have to be okay with women lying about analogous things.
