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?

Good morning,
It is easier to have a boiler plate program for the approach (let’s you hide behind format) as opposed to actually saying something original that gets shot down. But that’s for the “process of elimination” game.
When you’re really feeling a woman, it’s not hard to listen to her (for her likes and dislikes – but the banality of a 9:23 meeting gets tedious). As far as custom designing a program to “fit” a woman, I wouldn’t phrase it like that.
I’m more comfortable with making “her” comfortable, and for each woman that entails different things. And when you’re feeling her, you just pick up on it – in the furrowing of her eyebrows, the pursing of her lips, or something as simple as an exasperated “sigh”.
There are different approach for differing goals with men.

Morning Folks!
Yes, I can tell when a guy is using a one-size fits all approach when it comes very soon and it happens too easily. When I notice a guy is doing this, I simply bring it to his attention – let him know that I know. I can’t say that I try to switch things up when dealing with a guy. I’m me and I continue to be me with every guy. But when I’m romancing a guy, I always base it on him – what I’ve noticed he likes. I don’t have a common thing that I do. I think as women, we have the advantage in being original because the guys usually start the romancing off the bat. We usually have a few conversations and at least one date under our belt before we put it on him.

Of course, we are in the era of the lazy dater. Guys often put forth the minimum amount of effort and go with whatever chick is down with that program.
As a person that dates frequently, any guy who starts the game off with texting another one size fits all nonsense will get dismissed. I’d rather not date at all and just wait for the guy who will put in real effort. Those guys stand out because they make it known early on that they want to get to know you, they follow through on what they say they are going to do and they take an active interest on getting to know you and remember what you said in past conversations.
Good morning all.

I agree that typically the man’s approach is a one size fits all, which can be sorta frustrating, but expected at the same time. It’s not hard to tell when this happens. I guess for me, I don’t really put a lot (or high) expectations on the men in the dating scene.

This goes both ways. Of course.
What’s beautiful is when you are really relating with someone in a way that the ebb and flow is wonderfully unique because it just feels right. When I can close my eyes and feel THAT someone’s spirit reaching out to touch my heart, it feels like my cup overflowing.

I do my level best to get to know the man and not the myth so that I can accomodate as much as possible. But when I feel like a guy is giving me some leftover twaddle(today’s word) then I am looking for an exit.

Admittedly as a man, I am guilty of using twaddle – not just becuase it has worked, but because it’s easier that being vulnerable.
By that same token, I’ve sat across from a number of females that strike a similar defensive posture and wait for me “to impress [her]“.
Well, I’m not an entertainer. My name ain’t Cedric. It is my belief that if we’ve gotten to the point of being on a “date” together, there should be a willingness on both of our parts to be open to the experience.

Many men use the same techniques over and over because they’re stupid. Average intelligence quotient in Georgia is 92. While that’s pretty low, it’s only 6 or 7 point below the national average.
That means that a lot of people you meet have IQs that are well under 90, down into the 70’s. An IQ of 70 is the threshold of retardation. One out of 20 drivers on the road has an IQ of around 55. Now, it’s pretty sad to realize that much if not most of the ill behavior people note in the opposite sex is due to stupidity, but it’s the truth!

Yes i agree men should pay attention to what we women like or as some have said, “what makes us tick”. I don’t really care for the “quid pro quo” typa thang b/c i like surprises. Get to know your mate and do what you feel in your heart for your sweetie at that moment. I go with whatever’s on the spontaneous thought i have and do it (pay for dinner,concert, gifts…etc.), but that’s just the romancer side of me…

Wow. See there’s that defensiveness.
The sentence you highlighted isn’t about laziness or process, it’s revealing an emotional response to a situation.
And yes, men expect women to be “on point” as in engaged in the conversation, not just waiting for [your] chance to speak, but active participation.

Twaddle – I like that.
Currently listening to an Anthony Hamilton, Jaheim and Musiq station on Pandora – getting ready for tonight’s concert. I wouldn’t have picked Jaheim but he was already on there.
Leftover twaddle example: When my guy would call, after hello he would say ‘How’s my baby doing?’ Normally I don’t like being called baby, but it sounded so cute coming from him…well when I went home with him – whenever he would see a young cousin, niece, etc – he would give her a hug and say ‘How’s my baby doing?’
So of course I called him on it. Now I realize how common it is for him because he’ll call and start with ‘How’s my..’ then stop. 
I laugh at him every time

Do I think single men use the one size fits all approach…yes I do but as Dan stated the approach is also based on the goal. If a dude is just trying to get laid then he’ll use whatever one size approach that’s worked for him in the past….if he truly wants to get to know you then he will adjust and use whatever approach has worked for him in the past….THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM that I’ve encountered. It’s understandable to want to stick with what works but women aren’t all alike so neither should a man’s approach be. I dislike it when,for whatever reason, men think I’m retarded and try to come with lame game or an even lamer approach….when I see that happening I let them know “game recognizes game ALL DAY LONG” so either be real or kick rocks. I switch things up often b/c it’s keeps things interesting but moreso that’s who I am as a person
I like a man that can stimulate me mentally,not be threatened by my strengths anda man who has the confidence and ballz to tell me what’s up if we disagree on something.
Growing up I heard and was told that a woman knows how a man feels about her by the way he treats her and that is so true. I’ve met men who only wanted the cookie and that’s how they TRIED to treat me but I quikly shut that down….I’ve also dated men who paid attention to what I said so much that THEY remembered things from past convos that I’ve forgotten…or they may do something I like that lets me know they were paying attention. Little things mean alot fellas

There is nothing new under the sun. Why do I have to re-create my flow, my habits, my conversation, myself EVERY time I meet someone new? That would be like a comedian writing a completely new act every night before he went on in a new city. Or a playwright re-writing his play everytime his show was performed in a new venue. The lines work. They know them. They are familiar. They have the timing down. The comedian gets the laughter. The playwright gets the applause and the curtain calls.
As you well know, Live at the Improv is not always the greatest show. Everyone is not quick enough on his feet or talented enough or intelligent enough to work will in that genre.
I wrote this script. I like this script. I’m sticking to this script.

Wise Diva you lost me at the “(and by worked, I mean it got you laid)”</em) part… When I am just trying to get laid there is a whole nother process which if far from when I am trying to date a woman with the intention of having a relationship. I think this reference throws off your whole intention of what this blog post is really about. Usually if a guy is just trying to get laid its a wrap after 1-3 dates and nothing happens…if we are trying to have a realtionship our whole mindset is different. BUt the tricky part is when we start out trying to get laid, but we stick around and we decide we might want to think about a relationship….
Ok, well back on topic… I don’t know that its a boilerplate, but when I meet a woman I like to make sure the first couple dates are things I like to do. If she enjoys them and is down then I get a sense that we might work well together. Its not hard to plan a date that most women would enjoy, so trying to impress her is of no real value. I would rather do something that will show if we are on the same page…
So its not so much that I am using a formula, but as we get to know each other more then the real customized dating experience begins(if I like what I have learned of you). I mean if we just met I am not pulling all the tricks out of the bag, and I am especially not investing too much money in the first 2-3 dates on anybody… I learned my lesson about that the hard way.

Good Morning All:
Long story short, a little listening and a little effort goes a long ways. I do not like one size fits all in any capacity. IMO I feel like if the guy is taking an interest in me he should not use lines and dates of the past to “court” me that is ridiculous) and a major turn off. I have seen guys recycle lines even on this forum (maybe it is a guy thing), but it is a turn off. I make a good faith effort to get to know the man that I am dating and I expect the same in return.
@Ared I can deal with the texting if it is done through the day while I am at work or something, but I expect more after hours. I feel that texting is a game all in itself.

Or a playwright re-writing his play everytime his show was performed in a new venue. The lines work. They know them. They are familiar. They have the timing down. The comedian gets the laughter. The playwright gets the applause and the curtain calls.
Not everyone is going to like that play so if the playwright wants to appeal to a different audience, he’ll have to write a different type of play. Now if his play has been running on Broadway for a record time – he knows he can go with it…but if his plays get shut down early, or if he’s attracting the type of audience that consistently shows up late, doesn’t turn off their cell phones, etc – he might want to change it up a bit.
Now the comedian is definitely going to change his delivery for his audience. The core of his act is the same, because that’s part of who he is. But depending on the venue and the audience, he’s going to change his delivery.

My problem is, after the number are exchanged, you send a text instead of calling. You did whatever you did to get the number, then you send me a text limited to 160 characters. That hardly indicates you actually want to get to know me. It definitely indicates that you will put in as little work as possible and hope I’m dumb enough to fall for it.

It strikes as abc speaks of intelligence that the search for mate requires a knowledge of self and an emotional intellingence.
If at some point your “type” (of guy/girl, approach, reaction, level of involvement) is not working out; an analysis of the factors involved is in order.
@Page
Think about the situation, the guy that is at it for more than sex is more aware of the individual he is pursuing. He’s prone to listen carefully and respond accordingly to that woman. The one’s using the boilerplate lines are the ones that don’t care about the individual. Becuase as stated, there’s always someone else that will fall for it.

Should I change how I tell my stories? How I relay my history? There is a certain way that I share about getting hit in the face with a tetherball in the third grade or when Perry Shackleford stomped a mudhole in my behind in Miss McGlamory’s room in the 8th grade. (BTW – These days his @ss would have been charged with assault for that mess.)
What exactly is it that you suggest that I change? How should I appear different to the next one when with the last one the issue may not have been me?

If someone is into “games” they should not be taken seriously anyway, no matter what else they do…
I still see these as two distinctly different topics… When a man want to realy date you he should have a whole other game plan as opposed to when he is just trying to get laid. THe boilerplate method usually works more for the times he wants to just get laid…that is how he can quickly weed out the potential victims from the women who are not feeling him like that…LoL So basically I am saying when these dudes give you the boilerplate dating impression you should know what time it is.

There are certain restaurants I like, there are certain places I like to go… sometimes (usually) I go alone, but on ocassion I have taken different dates to those same places… Just because the waitstaff or bar tenders know me does not mean that I am treating you like I treat all the other women I date. I just may like to do certain things and I want to share them with you… To me that is different than trying to run the same game to get the drawers.

My problem is, after the number are exchanged, you send a text instead of calling.
I have issues with texting as well in some situations. I’ve had a man texy me back to back instead of calling and to me that means several things: 1. He’s not confident enough to call or scared to b/c he might get shot down. or 2. He’s lazy and just tryna see what he can get away with. 3. He’s somewhere with someone else and he’s wanting to keep his options open. Suffice it to say that a man who would rather text than talk gets nowhere with me but on the “outside looking in”. I’ve been accused of being high maintenance and alot of work but that’s only come from men who want shyt easy and I’M NOT THAT. I’m just a woman who knows what she wants and doesn’t want to settle for less….I don’t have unrealistic expectations b/c we’re all human but I do wanted to be treated like a woman….a grown azz woman and not some little naive girl.

Unfortunately we live in a culture where chivalry is dead, or at least seriously underappreciated. Men realize this and tend to dumb down there approach to women. Why? Because no man wants to feel like he “put in real work” for a woman who wants to “talk” or go out to the occasional “dinner”. Most dudes would rather be the guy who put in the least amount of work and get the occasional booty call when you’re ready.

SexyCool – naw, that’s not what you change. What you change is…if he can’t stand to hear the softball stories right after he gets in from work, you save it until after he’s had his first beer. Better yet – in addition to the stories, if he loves the way your lips shine when you wear a certain gloss, you make sure you have on that gloss when you’re talking face to face. And if his ears are ‘his spot’ then you might get a little closer and whisper part of that story too him.
So you don’t change you at all – you just change your delivery of catering to what he likes. But you still tell those stories.
I don’t think there’s a man on earth that can stop me from singing in the car – but because I know my Sweetie loves Whitney Houston, I might just put in her greatest hits instead of Floetry….although he’s come to love more artists after hearing me sing them in the car

SexyCool on your debate question…
I think it is less of not being who you are and more of appealing to the interest of the one you want to snag. That does not mean changing the “you”. I think we can all be who we are yet approach certain areas in our day differently. Imma reach way to left here, but say you met a sports doctor. I would imagine some instances injury in your past may be of interest to him if just for a good laugh. He can relate in his line of work. But that those same stories may be of less interest to a guitarist so why bore him with it. It does not mean that you can’t talk about it at some time or the other. But if it does not interest him why force it and want him to like it. Talk about music.

So if you recognize that a man is coming at you just for sex, then its up to you to decide to either give it to him or not. If you recognize that that’s what he is after then this is not at all about building a relationship. This is just about “things men do to ge the Pdu%%y” which is far from what men do to build a relationship…

I think we all know when a person is really into us & not “one-size-fits-alling” us, okay. Call it lazy or he’s just not that into you – it is what it is. And no, it does not take the IQ of a rocket scientist to figure out if he don’t want you, some folks just don’t want to accept what’s staring them in the face. We all grown up in here. If he’s not even calling you & trying to text you up, you know what time it is. When a guy likes you, he pays attention and makes little notes to himself of the things you like & don’t like. Same when a lady is into a guy. My SO observed that I love Martin reruns. Six months in he surprised me with the box set of Martin dvd’s. If I didn’t know before I knew then that he was into me and was paying attention.

I actually dislike talking on the phone.
What I’m talking about is engaging someone in an exchange of ideas. I really don’t do small talk (although I do wanna know about [your]history), if there is an opening to discuss something “larger” I take it.
I’ve had discussions on dates about any number of subjects, and when I’m interested I listen intently. Becuase how a woman forms an argument and conveys her ideas attract infinitely more than anything physical. At least when I’m looking for a relationship that’s about more than sex.

The reason men use “boilerplate techniques” is because in the inital stages of dating it’s all on the dude and all chicks have to do is sit back and judge. As Wise stated no two chicks are the same so how is a dude to know what type of chick he is dealing with. Hence the “boilerplate techniques” which are developed thru that dude’s experience with chicks. If asking a chick to pull my fanga has worked in breaking the ice with 2,143 chicks why would a dude think it will not work on you? If chicks would open their mouth and clearly state what they do and don’t want in the inital stages of dating they wouldn’t have so many issues with dating. I tell chicks upfront what I will and want do. Giving her the opportunity to choose. Why women don’t do the same? But I guess most chicks would call that being lazy cause they want the dude to dig thru all of their ish so they can feel special. Who is being lazy? Who is playing games? When chicks over 25 still expect a dude to read their minds. I swear I can’t stand to hear “You should know…..by my…..” from chicks. Also, at some point in every chicks life they have/are a sucker azz chick. Now, pull my fanga!!

Exactly Kimmie. No matter how tedious or uninteresting it may seem to the giver, the one receiving it is the one that counts. And often it takes nothing from you to give that special interest.
It’s like when I was signing us up for Direct TV. Hershel Walker hitting 700 homeruns don’t mean diddidly squat to me but I made sure to get the sports package anyway. Heck he watches sports while I go shopping. He won’t even miss me while I’m gone.

Good morning, Ladies, do you think single men use the one size fits all approach to dating and relationships? Most men. Some men are weak on their mack game thinking that they’re the man when it comes to pulling the ladies and use the same ol same line when approaching women and dating. What worked in 1992 will not work in 2009.
I’m pretty much keen on whether a guy is dating me just for the score or dating me because he truly wants to get to know me, the conversations and the way he represents himself are very evident, UNLESS he’s a smooth talker and I can’t distinquish which side of the coin he’s coming from.
I personally don’t have a problem with getting sweet notes via text, but a back and forth conversation is where I draw the line.

No. I’m not making that generalization.

What I’m talking about is the 2 in 10 attitude that is under the impression that I have to work to get at [her]. It’s mutual by the time we go on the ‘date’ so far as I’m concerned.
And if/when the woman doesn’t have the capacity or desire to engage to my standards, I wish her well and KIM.

And my point is that you are dreaming if you think dudes are going to step up anything if all they are after is the panties… There is no reason to step anything up for that. Just as it was said before, if one won’t do it another one will…its that simple. If you wish for anything else you are wasting your energy. If a woman wants a man to Woo her just to get the drawers even though she does not plan on being in a relationship with him she is playing games just like the dudes.
Either you should be trying to form a relationship, or you should call it a booty call and keep it moving… there is no middle ground.
The only time a man is going to step up his level of effort is when he is going for a relationship.
I was just thinking last night… what happened to the time when there was no kissing and cuddling with the booty call? Now folks want to treat the booty call like their boyfriend/girlfirend (for the night…) I mean it used to be a time when you called someone for some action and they left before sunrise now folks want to treat the person like its their boyfriend/girlfriend…but only during the hours they are together and both parties know that they are only in it for the sex…
Its almost like these days people want to rent-a-mate… while we they are together you would swear they were a couple, but they are like that with everyone they are “dating” so its kind of like folks have 2 or 3 mini-relationships going. And that’s males and females…

ForReal I would say it’s not the initial approach that matters as much as it is where you go after that. If you listen you will learn what her interest are. If you care to make her feel special you will from time to time cater to those interest. You can still do what it is you like to do, but if she is the one you want to be with what interest her matters just as much as yours.
Why do folks keep going at (wo)men that has obviously shows s/he has nothing in common of interest? Walk the hell away. Let it go. It ain’t gone happen. That you gonna be with me the way I want you to be is so not where it is.

Kimmie: “It really would not matter whether a “chick” opened her mouth to tell you her likes, dislikes, hopes & dreams if you are not into her.

I tell chicks on the first date face to face I don’t want to get married and I don’t want a girlfriend. Why is it so hard for a chick to say I want to get married but I want to be a girlfriend first on the first date?
Raqi: “Why do folks keep going at (wo)men that has obviously shows s/he has nothing in common of interest? Walk the hell away. Let it go. It ain’t gone happen.” – That’s why it soooo important on the first date to express yourself. If a chick wants to get married and have babies she should say so, so ole boy can decide on the first date if he wants the same from her. Still not understanding why that’s so difficult for chicks to do. Yall want forthrightness from men but yall don’t want to give it.

Me: What do you mean?
Dude: well, i would like to see you
Me: ok, cool, what do you have in mind?

Never heard from him since which is fine by me. SMDH.

(reads today’s topic…ladies,ladies, ladies, ladies, oh by the way men…)
Every dating situation is different but I do have core values that are unique to women not just the woman I date. Opening doors, letting her walk in first, making her feel secure, calling to make sure she got home, when out to eat asking her what she wants and I speak to the server to place the order, leading the table in prayer before we eat etc etc..those are part of me as a man. Some women who are not used to that treatment take that as some sort of..”game”..nope that’s just me.
On Dating specifically, I am a high maintenance dude and the woman I date is also so just like she expets me to show and prove..she need to also..now how that is done is up to the individual. But the day of the woman sitting back and just waiting on me to do everything is not going to come, I will take the lead and responsibility but she better find a way to reciprocate.. we are dating/in a relationship/ with each other. Hate to say it this way but if a man just wants sex it aint hard to find you dont have to go through all of the games, there are women who want just the same..so dont think guys are just trying to get the nookie..Once I responded to a lady who thought I was just out for sex with”Do you think I would go through all of this just to get in your pants…NO!”
From my point of view: If you got a problem with text we have a problem..normal people work during the business day. I am just getting started when you get off I lurk the night sometimes so I won’t be calling you all of the time..and believe it or not..lol..I hate talking if we are in person I will talk but on a phone and text..ehhhh(shrugs)

(…. still getting into the flow, so go easy on me ladies…)
Ok, for me this answer really is easy now that I is married and found my fit. I was sooooo guilty of using the “One Size Fits All” technique with most of the women I met, but for me it was that I simply didn’t give a D@MM because I knew what I wanted and I’d either get it or I wouldn’t and that would be that. I suspect most men of my IQ level feel the same say. However, when I met my wife, although yes, I did meet her at a club, I INSTANTLY knew she was different, and acted accordingly. I knew she was a regular, so I waited a few weeks before approaching, and then even when I got all the signals that I should go for the kill….. I didn’t. and the rest is history, baby cribs, pampers, and in-laws!!!
Bottom line girls, if you don’t feel you’re special to him, its because you’re not.

W8 – No one is asking for you to call “all the time.” What we are asking you is to show interest other than 160 word texts when you have just met us.
So y’all don’t like to talk on the phone. Too bad! You are gonna have to do SOMETHING to set up the situation where you can talk face to face if that’s what you prefer. Heck, have your “secretary” call and set something up, but expecting to handle business via as electronic messages is a recipe for disaster.
And besides, it’s funny how most folks don’t mind talking when it’s someone you actually enjoy talking to…

Dan this particular person works on the same CDC complex with me but in different buildings….I’d say it’s about a five minute walk, but I digress. He has my office number as well as my cell but he chose to text me over and over and over and over. He was VERY AGGRESSIVE when it came to doing that and I even shared with him that I’d rather talk than have him text me a gazillion times but nothing changed so I left him alone. Keep in mind that when we first exchanged numbers the VERY FIRST THING he did was text me less than five minutes later and proceeded to text the shyt out of my phone within an hour or two….weird and weak and SASSY don’t do weak…

I don’t mind texting bc sometimes when I’m at work my calls drop or whatever. But with this dude, it was going to be a “potential” first date and to me, that was unacceptable.

Go ask Mase! Fellas how many have you told your chick point blank you want the Kill Everybody video game and some wing from Abdula for YOUR bday and she goes out and make reseveration at Bones and buys you a pastel color shirt?
“but is not that the very thing you men folk complain about. A woman stating her interest in marriage and babies to early in the dating dance.” – No dudes don’t complain when women do that it’s women that complain because when most dudes hear that and they make the choice not to deal with that chick. – Fellas do you want to hear if a chicks wants to get married and have babies on the first date or hear it on the 20th date?
Ared: The inital meeting is the MOST important of any dating situation without it you don’t have dating. Again, in the inital stages of dating why can’t women open their mouth and say what they want or don’t want?
Sassy: See you (chick) expect me (dude) to know the implications of the words you typed. You never said 80% texting you said “My problem is, after the number are exchanged, you send a text instead of calling.” Now by your statement are you talking about immediately after the numbers have been exchanged or are you talking about 2yrs after the numbers have exchanged hands?
Taz: “That’s why I ask a guy not to text when I give out my number.” – See that’s what I’m talking about now dude knows not to text. If he does then you have every right to cuss his simple azz out.

Let me ask you this: If when you go out on a date and you only want sex, do you say “i am only here because i want to have sex with you tonight”?

I just stuck my head in for a moment, so I apologize if I have missed the “meat” of what several bloggers have said, but…there are two kinds of people who are occasionally struck with a “lack of imagination”, EVERY MAN and EVERY WOMAN.
I see a lot of fingerpointing today, and some male/female and some intellectual/duma$$ arrows being slung…and some accurate evaluations by most in most instances. The reality is that: 1) none of us are on our “A Game” all of the time, 2) when we are tired, etc., we fall back to our “scripts” particularly early in a relationship, 3) why is it a “competition” any fricking way??? Should not the goal “not to “win” something, but rather to find someone to feel totally comfortable with??? But what the fugg do I know? Seems like it ought to be always an attempt to just find womeone you genuinely like to be with AND who likes to be with you. If you have to “win” to get what you want, is he/she really “who” you want?

For me, getting married is not just about some dude filling the slot of a husband. To be honest, I rarely even think about marriage, unless of course, one of my grandmother’s calls from LA to ask me “so, how’s your love life going” lol. Other than that, it’s really not on the forefront of my mind and certainly wouldn’t be on a date. So, if I don’t mention it, it’s because that’s not where I’m at, not that I am secretly yearning for it, but afraid to mention it. In addition, marriage for me is about the man as an individual. Unlike other women, there is no way I would know if i wanted to get married by going on one date.

Now to respond to your post…I don’t recall saying anything was wrong with running for the hills b/c if two people don’t want the same thing then it could ultimately be a huge waste of time for both parties involved be it the MAN OR WOMAN who chooses to run. Some will run and some will not…. for them the upfront approach is cool in that regards or the other person may want that BUT just not right now…so knowledge is power….whether that knowledge makes you run for the hills or piques your interests lies soley upon the indivduals involved.

If VALET AT THE CLUB would have been the big deal then (1992) that it is now, we would have driven that rattling, smoking rusty bucket right to the front door and jumped out like it was a Benz…with five stars.

SexyCool – 3,4 and 5 are mine. Although I’ve broken 5 and I’ve been tempted to break 3 before.
Sassy – I don’t have an unlimited text plan so your example would have had me H-O-T! If a guy texts again after I don’t respond to the first one, I will call and ask him not to text me again. The problem is, if I leave a message – I might get a text back that says ‘I saw you called, what’s up?’ ARGH!!!
And what’s up with not listening to messages, what makes you think I want to say all that twice. My friends don’t listen to messages and it irritates me. Especially the ones where I say ‘Hey I just called to see how you’re doing – I’m getting ready to go to bed so don’t call me back tonight.’ An hour later my phone is ringing tombout ‘hey I saw you called, what’s up?’ ARGH!!!! OK, I feel my presha rising, let me focus on my music.

Until 3.5 years ago I was a married woman and well out of the dating scene. My marriage was not the happiest but it was stable and I was secure and comfortable with that until he had an affair….
Now here I sit…3.5 years, 2 “boyfriends” and 1 old high school flame turned fiancée turned ex-fiancée, later…and I find myself Hating the Dating!
What’s the secret? Are there any good guys left out there? And if so, where the heck are you???? I refuse to lower my standards and overlook bad behavior (i.e.; yelling/cussing my teenaged children, cheating, lying, controlling/aggressive behavior, physical/emotional abuse, alcoholism/addiction) those are just things I CANNOT live with and why should I? Why should anyone settle for that?
So what gives??? Where are you good guys???? I challenge you to step-up & show yourselves! We need you! Procreation depends upon it!
P.S. please hurry!

It is obvious that all of you are very hung up on yourselves. Get a grip, be yourself and above all else be honest with the person you are dating. Then if it works out, great. Otherwise move on. What worked in the 60s, 70s, and 80s should still work today.

Rule 1 I can kinda see where that one comes into play, but I really hate to think that a woman would dismiss a guy if he’s not a size 13 or if he took her someplace that he’s taken another woman in the past.

I’m not saying what he did was right at all.
After reading some of the e-mails, I see that the other woman really cared for him too. After being kicked out, he was vulnerable. It is obvious that the wife was really upset. i say it time and time again. The human body hates stress. It will do whatever necessary to relieve stress if only for a temporary break.
He was one of Bill Clinton’s critics. 1999 Clips of him talking about Clinton’s affair are being played over and. I guess that he’s also feeling like a hypocrite too.

In my life experience, I have seen women repulsed by good men then later after having two to three babies these ladies find them somewhat attractive. Hmmm, I believe I am onto something–chemistry changes?
Women play and then settle for what you should have taken in the first place. Men, who are charming, good looking, and physically attractive usually get the women first. The rest get left overs.

On Topic
Humans, all humans, are creatures of habit. I would imagine that dating routines are followed more or less unconsciously.
My routine was being myself. Shoot, the real me (flaws and all) would come to light eventually anyway.
As far as sex being the objective, I can’t remember approaching a chick with getting in the pants in the forefront of my mind. For me, my time is priceless. I wanted to determine if said female was worth my time and energy. That came through conversation. I hate telephone conversations( & still do), but I did them. I am a in person conversation lover. I like reading facial expressions and body language. That isn’t possible on the telephone.
As for texts, I absolutely hate them. Men and women rarely speak as it is. These young men and women will have more problems communicating. It is a passive form of communication.

have learnedam learning to save the nice shirts and pretty ties for just because gifts. When it comes to buying for an occasion get ‘em what they want.One rule I like, and I learned from a former co-worker, is the whole set rule. She said when she and her husband first starting dating her gifts would be centered around completing a set of something that he already had or starting a set of something that he liked.
Like if he liked to work with his hands and had tools that were missing several pieces she would complete the set for him. Also works with someone who has a favorite author and is lacking a few of their pieces.
It could be done with music. Especially if you go out of your way to complete an oldie vinyl collection. I imagine in this age of dvd’s movies and television shows can be included.

And, I know he was feeling vunerable and needed to rest his head on someone who cared for him. However, in this case as in others, if you truly want to work on your marriage then you have to take the black eye and stay your ground. Don’t go out and get another black eye. Man up, take the lumps of being horny and vunerable and do the right thing by you and your family (if this is what you want).

WiseDiva sprouting from a conversation I had with my husband about Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal, I have a topic for you. “Would you continue to date after a rejected proposal or broken engagement?”
We were the television together when we heard that they were planning to finally get married. It is said that Ryan asked her several times and she said no. Mr. O’Neal said that she turned him down so many times he just started making it a joke when he asked after that. Mason said he would have showed her the door after the first time she said no. I said maybe not the first time but after waiting several months to a year I would go separate ways if we could not come to where I wanted to be in the relationship.
I wander how many other people continue to date the person that turned down their marriage proposal. My dad taught us growing up that you date to marry. I could see you going your separate based on how I was raised. But you know…

We don’t know what the wife said in all this. Some women say and do some really hateful, spiteful crap when they want to do.

He might just keep that stuff personal because he wants to do the right thing.

They both worked on Wall Street before they got married, though he did not care for it much. From those emails, I think he really loves Ms Argentina! I bet he is conflicted and seriously does not care about politics anymore and just wants to be with the woman he really loves. Otherwise why would you just chuck it all like that?!

“Would you continue to date after a rejected proposal or broken engagement?”
I have a couple of friends (1 female and 1 male) that are in this situation.
The crazy thing is that the female is now asking me if I think that her SO will ask again. Please Note: When he proposed, she didn’t give him an answer. She started crying and ran into the restaurant restroom and stayed there for 2hours.
When she asked me recently if I think that he would ask again. I must have looked at her as if she had three breasts or something. I was stunned and it must have shown on my face. All I told her was that only he knows if he wants to put himself out there like that again.
The couple has a child and they all live together. He provides for them all, and takes care of his child. (They had this child already when he proposed)
Her answer for her reaction to the proposal (given to me by her) was that it was about her life not being as she planned. (I asked if she had told her man that. She deflected the question) She planned to go to med school, but got pregnant. Her dude has told her to pursue her dream, and he’d support her. (I’ve witnessed him tell her numerous times) So, it seems that she doesn’t know what she wants.

“Women play and then settle for what you should have taken in the first place. Men, who are charming, good looking, and physically attractive usually get the women first. The rest get left overs.”
That is so true man. only few smart women realize what they need or want early in time. You said, later they get what they should have gotten first place, I beg to differ, majority of them find themselves behind the game and rush for decision and settle for way way much less than they could have gotten the first place. I tend to feel pity for people’s misery especially woman but some I just enjoy. This (I am the hottest the smartest chick) sorta girl way back seven years ago broke my best friends heart. He by no means any guy but someone who deserve to be with her. AFter wandering around, she started dating this guy for six years and when she thought she was about to marry him, he dumped her and left her hangging. She is 36. If you know what it means to be single at that age in African community, you would understand. She now has nothing. No that young gloomy features, at this age she pretty much not wanted by the guys in the our community at least.
Me and my buddy laughed our ass off the day we heard. I know its mean but hey you get what you deserve.
So yea, only lucky once settle for what they should have settled a while back but some end up in missery (except the Staceye types who cant make it a day in African community)

Rell / Raqi — I guess I’d be in danger of having my man card revoked if I admitted that I paint Swiss Miss’s toenails, huh?
Then again, that give me a good excuse to keep her legs in the air afterward while the polish dries…

One of my grandpas had a spot in one of the sheds at the State Farmer’s Market in Forest Park. So, we got a lot of fruits and veggies there.
We got a lot of groceries at the grocery store at the farmer’s market. I still remember the man calling out the prices to the ladies at the register. Everything was sold in bulk there. It was the Sam’s Warehouse before Sam’s was here.

Very true.
If living single is more a priority in your life then building a relationship, then by all means stay single. Or get a mail order bride who doesn’t give a rats azz about what you do with your time.
Cuz you should want to spend a majority of your time with the person you’re with, once you’re married you will. Even better is to find a Bonnie to your Clyde who likes to kick it and do the things you like with your friends just as you do.

Although I would be skeptical of her motivation to get back with me.
Surprisingly I have run into a few people who are married now, but they have stories of how the man had to ask 2 or 3 times because the woman said no. I don’t know if I should admire the man’s drive and determination or if I should think he was being a whipped little puppy who just took whatever treatment the woman dished out.

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.

I’m so glad my silly butt can fire up a grill
Cemeeli me too. I had the grill burning last night.
Another one of my corny stories…
When the man came home yesterday there was an open can of Ravioli on the counter. He looked at me and asked if I was okay. Yeah I am fine. Why you ask? He picked up the can and asked “what is this?” I chuckled and told him that’s the boy’s dinner, here…lifting the foil from the plate where his rib eye was sitting marinating…is your dinner. The coals on the grill are getting hot.
He had to laugh at himself for that one.
Poppa I put Mase a potato on the grill but I cut some strips of zucchini and squash (I like to cut them the long way) and put on the grill for myself. I also cut up some bell peppers and placed them on there. I don’t use the grill basket, I just put the right on rack. I lightly cover the rack with Pam and put my veggies on there.
A couple of times I have made a foil pocket with veggies sealed in and put that on the grill but that is usually when I want more of a steamed veggies instead of roasted. I also like to use the foil pocket when I grill fish.
Sassy I do not like mesquite. I prefer hickory. Mason went to that bbq place on Edgewood shortly after they opened and brought us dinner home. It was okay but I could tell it was mesquite and not hickory.

Poppa we have a barrel grill, a propane toy LOL, and a ground pit. The pit was originally built to be just for sitting around enjoying the outdoors in the cooler late fall early winter months. But it has become the bbq pit. Mason keeps saying he is going to get a small hog to put on there. That is going to have to be a party event ’cause that’s a lot of meat.
You know what maybe I can do that for his b-day. His brother can help me, he knows how to do that. Or maybe I can invite his former college buddy that lives in Florida. He grilled while we were down there. He may man the hog for us.

LOL ARed, of course you know I feel left out! *making sad face* Yeah, let’s talk about Roscoes and In-N-Out lmao. I like the Roscoes on Pico better than the other ones. I also like M&M’s, but only the one on Centinela near Ladera Center.

Leggs – Stop giving Angie Sagittarian love.
But I agree, if it’s a problem now so soon, it may never get resolved to your satisfaction. Your mate should make you feel special.
I had the same complaint with a guy once, and I don’t even need a lot to feel “loved.” However, his method of showing that he cared was “you’re here aren’t you?” I’m like you show up to work everyday too, doesn’t mean you like your job.
All in all, I needed more, so that’s what I sought.

@Tazzee girl I was counting on you and one of my other friends to be my detox partners. We have to detox first then go and then detox again. Let me know when you go down..we can hang out..but tell you now..I go to the midway bingo games, I bet on the colors..and I go to at least 2 livestock shows(I don’t know a damn thang going on but I root for the kids showing their lambs and goats) We start at about 11:30 and we shut the place down. We buy all kinds of arts and crafts that I will never use or need in the vendor market..ohhh yeah and I must take at least two pictures on tractors…LMAO

Cemeeli – Cali beaches are good to visit, but they kinda suck. The water is cold and gray. But you have to experience it. One of my favorite beaches was in Clearwater, FL and if that doesn’t impress you, you can see what I’m working with in CA.
Come to think of it, I’ve never really seen folks grill on the beach, so it’s probably NOT allowed. But I do know they have designated grill areas at some. But the grills are provided I think.

I think you asked if I went to Dorsey. Nope. I went to the beach school.
So we could walk down to the beach after school and it was nice because it was more residential then tourist. We would watch Baywatch being filmed as we drove in on PCH.

If you were in Hollywood, you should have gotten a hot dog from Pinks.
I saw that line.
The travel channel had a special about hot dogs, hamburgers, etc around the country. Pinks was one the featured spots. Of course, the Varsity was featured for the Southeast.
I am picky about hot dogs. I usually want to cook my own.

BTW, I am not acting brand new. The roads that she grew up on JUST got a name about 10 years ago other than Route and a number. The roads are still dirt. A good summer rain makes for a bumpy ride. You have to wait for the county to scrape the road smooth again.
Tara Boulevard has been paved as long as I remember.
I visited down there a couple weeks during each summer. I got up at the butt crack of dawn and get eggs from the hens. Fed the chickens, turkeys, hogs, and such. Deal with that mean azz rooster at 5AM.

We spent only a limited amount of time in Hollywood. My wife is a NYer and she was feening for some pizza and that was close to where we were. It wasn’t a NY slice, but we knew where we were.
I will say though. I’ve never seen so many Mexican Eateries in one place in my life. (I’ve been the Mexico numerous time..lol) They were like liquor stores in the hood. One on every corner.
