What's a nice gift to give a woman on a first date?
Q. I'm meeting a woman in a few days for a blind date of sorts. I want to give her something small, not over the top. Typically on first dates I give something like a small box of fancy chocolates. But this girl is into health and fitness. What would be a good neutral gift to give her? She's 24 by the way.
I'm looking for something around $5. Nothing that will freak her out, but will somewhat impress her.

A. I really think flowers are the best way to go. Anything other than that for a first date would kinda freak me out. I think gift giving shouldn't be done till atleast the second or until you know them better. Especially since you have never met her in person yet.
What do you think about average weight guidelines?
Q. I'm talking about the little charts that are on the doctor's office walls and in every health and fitness store in the country. Do you think they promote unrealistic goals for people who have a larger or smaller body frame? They usually have a large range of numbers, for example, someone who's 5'7"should be between 121 and 160 pounds (women)
Do you think these numbers represent healthy weights? What's a better way to calculate whether or not you're a healthy person overall, rather than using fixed numbers on a scale? Any suggestions?

A. I think that they are a good start. I mean they are close, but there are instances where a higher weight can be just as healthy as a lower weight. And you are right I don't think that they take into consideration body frame and muscle mass. I think a better judge is a body fat calculation. I know that there is a healthy range for body fat in men and woman no matter what their height or weight. Each individual is different and should be treated differently, I think that a body fat test is a better judge over bmi, height/weight charts, or anything that doesn't take a body frame into consideration.
What's the difference between an all women's health club/gym and a health club where both men and women?
Q. My husband tells me that I should join a women's health club because the exercise equipment there is more suited for women's bodies. I don't believe him. I think the only difference is that men are not allowed to join at the women's club (like Curve's) while you'll find both women and men at the regular health clubs like Gold's gym, Bally's, Fitness Connection. Please someone confirm for me if there is any other difference. I also feel that if I join a women's only club, there will be less variety of equipment and less classes for me to participate in than if I join a regular health club/gym.
This is in the United States (Texas to be more precise).

A. Depending on the club, there is little difference between men's and women's equipment or facilities. To me the real reason that there are all-women's clubs is not just to keep away the men who want to hit on women, but there are a lot of women who feel self-conscious about their "imperfect" bodies and just feel more comfortable in an environment where they don't have that added embarassment of the opposite sex watching them as they are trying to improve themselves.
