Everything Old Is New Again
The results of the Great Male Survey 2009 from Askmen.com are in. I eagerly anticipate this each year (no sarcasm, really) because it’s like getting a small peek into a cross-section of men that are in my dating pool. From what I can tell, modern men are still big on tradition: “When it comes to the romantic front, everything old is new again” I feel that this is a great thing to hear, for the most part. That doesn’t mean I don’t struggle with some of the ideas that come with that though.
The Dating & Sex part of the survey had a lot of great questions. I would be interested to hear some of our male readers to respond to the first five: Do you believe that you have a soul mate? What is the most important personality trait that makes a woman “relationship material”? Is it important for a girlfriend to have “wife potential”? Do you believe in marriage? How important is it to you for your future wife to sign a prenup?
Ladies, the Great Female Survey was given by Yahoo’s female portal, Shine. Same questions for you: Do you believe that you have a soul mate? What is the most important personality trait that makes a man “relationship material”? Is it important for a boyfriend to have “husband potential”? Do you believe in marriage? Do you want your future husband to sign a prenup? Would you sign one?
Some of the numbers surprised me, what do you think about the responses?
Happy Friday everyone!

W8 – Wouldn’t judge you at all, that’s the way I expect a real man to think, folks can say whatever they want.
Just a little too girly & suspect to me.

Man what a beautiful day to be outside!
I believe that many women can grow with me to become my soul mate!
Marriage is the formula of becoming one with GOD!So, yes I truly believe in marriage!
On Cops: Some of my best friends are police officers so I hear a lot what they go thru and I give them the upmost respect at all times. I have yet to be pulled over randomly and if I do I give the officer therespect that I expect in return! I am a very lucky man because I speed all the time.
Being a sales representative I go into some of the most lily white areas and even though I have been trailed a few times I still have not been pulled over.
I’m o.k. with President Obama commenting on the Gates situation but he has to know it will be a distraction and he needs to think first before he speaks! We have to get this health legislation passed!

Truly…and even if one does not have the desire for a relationship of their own (like myself)…that does not mean that I need to be the third wheel in someone else’s…ya’ know??…shyte, I do not even want to be the person that ppl discuss their relationship issues with…but it does seem to happen…uh,here is a dollar…buy a clue…if I do not have the issues for myself, then why would I want to deal with yours????…uh-huh.

the “Don’t judge me” was a reference to W8.
I peeked in shortly yesterday, but didn’t post.
After every post it seem that he would post Don’t Judge me or something to that effect.
I thought that it was new MLB protocol….lol.

Jamoca – Please don’t say anything about that Florida not being southern stuff, lol! I got a Miami friend (lived here 10 yrs now) that never lets me and everyone forget she is a Miamian and not “country” like her Macon born & bred husband! I have family in St. Pete & Tampa & Tallahassee and anytime I mention those areas of northern FLA she looks crazy, like she does not want to be associated!lol!! I really don’t care WHERE you’re from, I want to tell her!

I’ve been there & done that but the dude never laid a hand on me but it was only a matter of time cause he was 7:30(crazy mfer)! I wasn’t staying around for the grand appearance.. Sure didn’t!

How in the hell are you going to appear on a television court show being sued for not paying back money that you borrowed to get an abortion and then say that your father doesn’t know about the abortion and that’s why you didn’t ask him for the money? I bet he knows now.
