Blame Angelina Jolie
There has been actual research on so-called “mate poaching”. They found out that a lot of single women aren’t exactly hunting for other singles. Sometimes, they look for the coupled up men and “poach” them away from their current relationship. It’s like the Angelina Jolie syndrome because she supposedly began a relationship with Brad Pitt while he was married.
The results of the research: “Single women were more interested in the man when he was described as attached (90% interested) than when he was described as single (59%). Men showed no difference in interest between a single and attached woman.”
The thing about these studies is that don’t leave much room for the variables. It’s interesting nonetheless, to see the “scientific” analysis about why women are attracted to men who aren’t available. What are your thoughts?
When you meet someone you are attracted to, is it more appealing when you find out a person is involved with someone already? Have you ever pursued someone who had a significant other?
Have you ever been involved with someone and met somebody else that you felt you was the person you were meant to be with? How do you tell the person you are in a relationship that you are in love with another person?

Venom, all I spit is venom, a cobra
Richmond team and I’ma ride till its over
I’m never sober, I’m f’ed up now
Say you want pistol play well then its Blah! Blah!
Cause I’m the pastor leader of a wicked church
In my city ain’t no games, we learn your name
And where you went to school at and where you used to hang
And when I run across ya is where I’m going to drop ya
Breaking your punk a$$ off something proper
Well this that city, this that city, this that city
Well this that city, this that city, this that city
WellWell this that city, this that city, this that city
this that city, this that city, this that city

The way I see it this wasn’t no different then blasting some cat on dont date him.com. Tit for tat and if you ask me both parties involved were just as grimey for doing so because nobody would have ever known who where when and what. So Sybil and the rest of you self proclaimed victims- by coming on here th e way you did you must have expected a different ending. Because by showing him up you in turn showed yourselves up. Just do better next time.

@ARED, In conclusion I guess I can say unlike you I do not have folks on the blog cooking for me, and I think you mentioned going to more than one event. My record is very clear! I don’t laugh if it ain’t funny, nor do I scratch if it don’t itch. My writings are pretty clear on here when I say something so there is nothing to wonder about.

@ Infamous – Once before we went from Flip to, Vickery’s to Circa, then The Wine Bar (Vino Libro) in one dinner night/hangout night with the girls. I’m to old for all that.
btw – Tazzee thanks for the pronuciation of Vino Libro…i can say it now…yay.

Y’all have called my name enough times today. So, check this out:
I know for sure that Big Mouf is not w8 because he NEVER met me and doesn’t owe ME anything. I was simply a mouthpiece for one who came to me.
So, kudos for the part of the story you know, Big Mouf.
But, you need more people, because only part of the story has been told. As to that, I will leave to the speculators. I’m sure the speculation is more interesting than the truth anyway.

I’m a Fellini’s fan too. They have a good greek salad.
Mellow Mushroom is one of my favorite pizza joints – their ultimate veggie is really good and the calzones are good too (just too much).
Cemeeli – you know my favorite drink it water, but I just can’t do water with certain foods. Pizza and lemon pepper wings are two of them.
Sassy – this is the first time you’ve mentioned the LPW and I didn’t want any. Probably because I just had some 2 weeks ago

Professor – Not exactly. You know I said from the get go I had no interest in blog meet ups.
Just happened to run into some bloggers out on the town. Happened by chance. That’s how I got to have conversations with a couple of them. Had that not happened, I wouldn’t have met em.

For the Fellas – Did we see the play by play right. Ole boy went straight outta the textbook. He touched a couple that acted like they couldnt get touched. Only problem with the whole thing was the money angle. I mean he get a flag for excessive celebration.
Blog – Now that the names and most of the story is out can we move past this as a blog.

Cemeeli and Infamouse my friends and I attempted to go to Flips. We pulled up and there were people standing outside waiting to be seated so we got back the car and kept on driving.
The place looks pretty small so I guess it will always be a bit of a wait. Maybe we will try again some other time.

I have found at my age I can’t eat too much of that kind of stuff. Give me heartburn.

Raqi – Johnny’s New York Pizza? I get coupons for there, I haven’t tried their calzones though. I’m like you – I can’t eat too much of it, I usually get a slice and a salad.
You gotta go to Flip on the ‘off’ time if you don’t want to wait. Like 2 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, LOL

about right altho still,”allegedly”"
But thats the nice,juicy and exciting thing about sexx gossip,nobody has to confirm nothing.
“”Ray Ray is said to have phlluccked Shamneeka,ohh damn and they say she got a biiiig and wide vjay”"
sadly tho,staceye now seems like she was all talk and no action untill she says it aint so!
Like Chris Rock on Janet’s snaging by Jermaine,”Damn, hw did I miss that one!”

To throw my two pennies into this discussion, I will say this. The situation certainly underscores the need to have some sort of probationary period when you are getting to know someone.
(For me, I will now include this to mean friends as well.)
Seems as if the Jock and Jills outing which was the first w8 sanctioned meet and greet (that I attended) was back towards the end of June.
And now here we are…3 months later. Having lived and learned. (Or so we hope.)
