Because He Kept Me Off the Pole
Sunday is Father’s Day, a rare day when some men get as good as they give. If you are fortunate enough to have a father that is still here, I urge you to spend time with him. If that is not possible then I think a card or phone call can go a long way!
I am so thankful for my Father, for always being there for me. He has been such a great example of what a good man is. I remember listening to comic Chris Rock joke about being a father to his daughters and the importance of being a good dad: I realize my only job in life is to keep her off the pole. I mean they don’t grade fathers but if your daughter is a stripper you messed up.
I love my Dad because he’s kept me off the pole and kept me from doing outrageous things to a man on a dance floor (I’m still in disbelief, sorry). I love my dad because he is always supportive, loves me unconditionally, and has always been there for me. In a lot of ways, I think he has set the standard for my relationships with men.
Ladies, why do you love your father? What has he taught you about dating, relationships, and men?
If you are dating a single dad, do you plan to celebrate Father’s day with him? Do you show him that you admire him for being a wonderful father?
Guys, do you have daughters? What kind of lessons do you think they should learn about men? Have you ever dated a woman who had “Daddy Issues?” or was not raised with a father in the home? How did you handle it?
How do you think our relationships with our fathers impact our dating and relationship habits?
To all our readers who are fathers HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

Jam – I just realized that someone does call me “Neecy”. This chick that works out on the floor is always telling me that I look like her niece. For three years, she has been calling me “Neecy” and I have been calling her “Auntie”.

Good night everyone one.
GETTING NOTICED IN A MEANINGFUL WAY IS LESS ABOUT THE GRAND GESTURE AND MORE ABOUT THE SMALL,THOUGHTFUL THINGS WE DO EVERY DAY. THERES OFTEN A PAY-IT-FORWARD BEAUTY TO GOING THAT EXTRA INCH.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS IN BLOGSVILLE!
