Things You Don’t Know
If you were to ask a man in a successful relationship what he knows about his woman, he would probably describe what makes her tick. When women are intimate with their men, they are willing to open up and be vulnerable to him. Risky business at times, but when you are with the right guy, it’s totally worth it to clue a man in on who you are.
If you were to ask single men who are dating what they know about women – in general, well there’s no telling what you would hear! Men who are dating tend to have their opinions about women based solely on the women they have met, dated, and spent quality time with in their past. Good or bad, that’s all they really know and the same goes for ladies. We tend to only draw from our personal experiences.
I think there is probably a boatload of things we don’t know about men and women. It’s hard to separate truth from fiction, reality from perception, etc., especially on a dating blog! I’m up for the challenge though, are you?
What are things the opposite sex doesn’t know, realize, understand, comprehend etc. that you wish they knew? Gender stereotypes aside, what do you think gets missed in male-female dynamic conversations?
I think we probably are more alike then we realize! How do you think we differ? How are we alike? Where do you think we get into trouble when it comes to being clueless about how the other operates?

@Melo, no you nut. There were too many missing. Didn’t feel like putting every resident’s name down. Hell, I forgot how many lurkers we have so I simply deleted the post. We have main lurker, luker 1 and lurker 3 (right). HAAAAA!

Things change yearly. We have a yearly review with our Agent to go over any changes to the household, personal property, etc. I keep a running list of what ifs and try to get it explained to me in general terms not Ins. co terms to make sure we are covered.

In any case, my point is it’s really ignorant of you to joke that God is punishing re.dnecks on the westside.

Leggs…yes I guess so. I got some sort of evite and was just wondering how they got my name. My girlfriend got one too but not her our mutual friends…as there’s a buttload of us and usually those type of things comes to us all…in groves. Suppose to be the bachlorette event of the year….this time having men included. I guess it’s been exclusive to women. Just wondering that’s all.

U know Ared,Chris Rock joked about Jermaine’s snagging Janet and him being late and having never tried and it didnt go down well with Jermaine and his napoleon complexx.

People get mad at jokes cuz it’s not their joke. It’s yours. The insensitivity one eliminates when joking about another is what gets ppl upset.

Because some jokes expose ignorance, bigotry or racism on behalf of a teller.
Just because one claims it’s a joke, doesn’t mean it can’t be indicative of a larger problem. I’m not saying that it’s happened here. I’m just saying it was dumb.

Jermaine may have gotten upset cuz Chris Rock joked about stepping to his girl. Janet’s was his girl at the time and no man wants to hear that another was too slow in stepping to snag it. T
