I just discovered her on Twitter that day. I don't follow much sport on television other than football and occasional NBA which has become too boring to watch. Not much time for it either. I prefer watching sport in person. Boxing/MMA is great to watch in person for example. Traditional sports like falconry and horse/camel racing as well. Out in the nature too.She looks great in pink. Looks like I'm gonna become tennis fan. No one better make a fuss about me following girls on Insta.
You got married? Mabrook, hows marriage life? I'm not quite ready yet since it's a big responsibility, but I'm sure there's a bright side to marriage. Out here people don't feel need to marry because you get most benefits in a relationship. I can romantacisize that too, but then I think about having kids, a famiily and a greater purpose , marriage comes to mind.
Solid work man. You got a good routine together. Do you lift ? Have you found muscle growth to be affected with intermittent fasting?
It has been almost 5 years. Like everything else there are ups and downs but overall it is the best thing that can happen to you if you find the right partner/are lucky enough to build a close bond and obviously are prepared for compromises and a different way of life. Children are a huge bonus. Just makes life easier ironically despite all the many responsibilities as there is more of a purpose and you become less selfish. There is also the religious angle and obviously the familial pressure to settle down. From parents (mother in particular in my case), grandparents, siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts and what not. So obviously there was no escaping. Most importantly I wanted it myself and felt I had to start a new chapter in life.
Anyway we are all different and eventually everyone will find their own pathway here in life. Marriage will occur in your case when/if you will be ready. There is always a good partner out there for most people.
Anyway there is always the option of divorce as well but children on the other hand are a life-long commitment obviously.
It happened naturally in my case. Since I was very young I have had strange eating habits. Always ate sporadically and I could eat huge amounts of food without gaining much if any weight as well as eat little and maintain my normal/standard weight. Never really eaten breakfast regularly either since 13-14 years or so this intermittent fasting (before I knew what it even was) almost occurred naturally. Now I have just kept it alive more or less irrespective of work, age, daily and weekly routines etc. Or at least I try to be consistent but obviously it is not a strict hourly regime but I try to eat most of my food within an 8 hour window during the 24 hours. That or a 10 hour window give and take.
I used to be more disciplined and better at training/exercising but in the past few years I have slagged a bit and now if I am lucky I get 2 workouts a week for around 1 hour each. As long (in my case at least) I continue to eat relatively healthy and lean and continue my intermittent fasting (more or less) I keep the same body/weight. Obviously I am not gaining any muscles but that is not the plan either. I am around 83-85 kg which is a good weight considering my height. When I was working out in my "prime" some 7-10 years ago I weighed almost 95 kg but that was too much given my height and I did not like the look honestly. Not good for your mobility or joints either. I prefer the lean look personally. Also my body/height makes it impossible for me to look like your typical stocky/extremely buff/bodybuilder type of guy so there is that too. Not that I like this look personally.
In any case once you are settled all of this matters very little as long as you try to stay healthy and are not obese which obviously carries a lot of health hazards and is a irresponsible thing to be when not suffering from some serious health issues.
Anyway intermittent fasting and retaining your muscle mass should be no problem for a regular healthy person.

Speaking about the millennia old Arab interactions with Africa, in particular Horn of Africa, Sahel, Swahili coastline/region, I always had a fascination with the Beggara/Shuwa Arab community that spans the Sahel. Millions of people from this community present in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Mali, Sudan, Eritrea, Niger etc.

Obviously mixed heavily with locals as well after all those years but nevertheless very interesting.
Arabs are also the second largest ethnic group in Chad and Arabic is the lingua franca of that African country. Not many Arabs are aware of this.

In 1238, the engineers of the Islamic civilization in Granada succeeded in achieving the greatest achievement in the history of the Middle Ages:
They built a sustainable water system at a height of 200 meters above the mountain.
But what they created after that almost destroyed physics forever.
Today, after 900 years:
• 70% of the original systems are still operating
• The original fountains are still flowing
• Climate control systems are still working
• The gardens are still flourishing
When they said, "designed to last", they mean it.

@The SC
Can you deal with the anti-Arab, anti-Sunni/Muslim, pro-Al-Assad/Nusayri terrorism troll @Mobius who makes unmotivated personal attacks aimed at me and false accusations in the Syria thread that I cannot reply to?
Same with the other trolls that are writing nonsense. I stand by with the Syrian government and Syrians having every right to deal with Nusayri terrorists. Which they are doing in an excellent manner.
Their terrorism rule, occupation and incompetent rule of Syria for 50 + years has ended permanently. Those trolls cannot come to terms with this fact.
