One size fits all
A little tip to the men: women like to feel as if she is special. Yes, we know that it can be annoying to you at times, but it is the truth. If a woman is dating a man and he doesn’t make her feel special, chances are he will lose her interest.
One of the ways we like to feel special is knowing that the man has put some real effort into getting to know her. Then doing thoughtful things that shows he, in fact, paid attention. It’s all really simple, actually. If you have some routine that you use that has worked on previous women (and by worked, I mean it got you laid), it doesn’t mean that your object of desire will like the same things.
I think some women can tell when a guy is going through the motion, using his same tired wooing techniques. Some of which are horrendous and don’t work. One size fits all does not apply to dating all the time. Mix it up, listen to her likes, and let her know that you think she is special by her special, customized treatment you give her.
Ladies, do you think single men use the one size fits all approach to dating and relationships? How can you tell when that is happening? What would you do if you noticed a guy doing this? Do you try to switch things up when you are seeing a guy?
Guys, why do some men use one size fits all? The same lines, routine, dating destinations, etc. Is it because it works so well? Perhaps it is just easier? If you meet a wonderful woman that you want to impress, do you make more efforts to make her feel special? Have you ever noticed a woman who tries to use the one size fits all approach with you? How did you know?

Tazzee My boss came back about 1:40 so we should be able to get them in before 8. lol..that’s funny the show is at 8 and the numbers are due at 8. My kid is coming back from Six Flags around 8…

ARed No. 2 different beast. Dekalb has different and other things than Farmer’s focus is fresh veggies and fruits.

The “Chatter” blog is saying the Stevie Wonder concert kinda sucked last night, he was late, forgot the words to several songs, and didn’t sing all the hits. The responses seem to agree.

Melo – I saw pictures of the wife – she’s decent-looking but I would not call her gorgeous at all. And being southern has nothing to do with whether or not she was performing the wifely. I mean, the 4 kids didn’t come out of thin air. I just think he was kinda weak and married her for the money and what she could do for him career-wise. Seems she was very controlling. After a point that got old for him and he wanted love. Probably more of a business arrangement than a real loving marriage.

W8 I just got back from the gym and read your 12:50 and YES I really do want those dvds….I’ve hit a plateau and have got to get off of it….so I knew it was time to amp up/switch my routine.
The Dekalb Farmer’s market is the bomb b/c of the variety of things they have BUT the Forest ParK Farmer’s market is good,too plus it’s closer to home…but I like both.

Yeah, that is cool. I listed Sydney because I probably would fly in there.
However, for a flight that long, I would be there for a couple of weeks so I would try to get all over that continent. I might even be brave find a kangaroo to box…j/p.
It isn’t a weekend trip.
When the wife and I went to Tokyo, we stayed for 3 weeks. That flight is long.

I have been to the forest farmers.No comparison with dekalb,in my view.Forest seems more of a producers markt(cooperative type thang) but they dont have a wide selction of stuff like dekalb does.
shopping or hunting??
well,maybe im biased!
Plus for u singles,dekalb is the ultimate meat market,go there saturday morning,u be confused,

They are just so different to me.
It depends on what I’m looking for.
If fruits and veggie, I like Forest Park.
If you are looking for other things like the crabs, lamb, and meats, DeKalb.
Truthfully, the only thing that I get from DeKalb Farmer’s Market is meats. I get ground lamb, ground pork, rabbit, etc from there. (You won’t find those at Kroger or Publix)

AmazonRed the GA Farmer’s MArket is a must do for anyone who wants a real old school ATL experience… its you and the farmers… cash only… and wear cool clothes…you never know what’s going ot be there… If its in season you can buy it there. If its out of season you can get it in a mason jar from last season… LoL THe only way you can get food any fresher is to grow it yourself.

Never heard of that fancy slogan “One size fits all” enlighten me, it must be a new term in the trendy people’s world. I never use schemes to get laid, either I do or I don’t and if it is the ladder Palmala Handerson does just fine sometimes better. (TMI I know) I think it’s hard for most guys to not be controlled by the reward sex. I have always thought sex was over-rated anyways, (maybe I’m getting old) because yes their are in fact women who are clueless on how to satisfy a man, its true

PoppaG Grilled corn. Lovely!
I meet more men that are true grillers!….I’m so glad my silly butt can fire up a grill at the drop of a dime. My girlfriends are afraid to use charcoal grills if the hubby/boyfriend is not there to start the fire.
I’m like – What? Girl you best get this thang started.
One of my friend has that Char-Boil with the burners, cabinets, grill utensil holder, triple fat goose grill cover, a bar…lol
naww i’m kidding about the bar. But man her grill ain’t nothing like that pit one of my girlfriend’s had made. I always want to grill at her house instead.
I do not care for gas grill if there is a pit around.

I have a 9 year old neice whom I spend LOTS of time with and Sponge Bob is her thing. I know parents of young children know what I’m talkin’ ’bout

We stayed on the Zimbabwe side
thats the best side to view the falls from and the falls are more spectacular on that side too than on the zambian side.
Tell me next time u go, i might surprise and clue u on something.
The whole area is fabulous for game too if u like that.Which hotel did u stay in:Vic falls safari lodge?
Chobe national park in Botswana is another must for game lovers.

I cut up fresh squash, eggplant, zucchini, and put them in my grilling basket with some balsamic vinegar. That is pretty good.
I have three grills. A table top (for me and the Mrs.-no need to break out the big boy for thee hotdogs, or two burgers), I have a weber grill that has natural gas hooked up, and and old charcoal grill (the kind that looks like a huge metal barrell)

Cameeli I prefer charcoal to a gas grill any day….I love to grill out but the only thing is it’s just me so when the coals are still “white hot” I’m usually done….but I work the hellz outta my grill.

You’re so in tune to what the single folks want
Ared,i go to dekalb farmers twice a month,mostly for my veggies,u know the kale,collards,cabagge,okra,turnip greens,squash,onions,tomatoes and fruits like oranges and pinea apples and water melons.
And Queen sends me on errands there with a shoping list,rather than go with me so my eyes wonder in there,a lot!
Also for the beef sausages,goat,lamb and hen chicken,i cannot stand the kroker/publix drug rich chicken,cant have it.
Plus one good thing Ared,if u have a date,in dekalb farmers,there is a lil nice restaurant.U can walk round in the morning,buy ur stuff and then chill later in the lil restaurant,munching on healthy cooked food.
There is a massive selection of cheese in there too.Walk close by it and see if ur date will be clueless not to selct a portion to spice up thangs later.
I luv dekalb,im biased. lol!

I understand about the coals and all but still it’s just me….even when I wait and am done grilling they’re still hot. I have one of the tabletops but I don’t really like it that much….it’s aiight though.

I haven’t used briquets in awhile. Kingsford makes charwood and it comes in hickory or mesquite (that I’ve seen). I use the charwood. It burns a little quicker and hotter so you have to keep an eye on it.

You can grill all day with kingsford coals. I smoked a roast with some and they held up for a while..I didnt feel like pulling the smoker out so I made my little pyramid on one side..put a pot of seasoned water directly over them and let that joker smoke all afternoon…
