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?

Mo the God-mother-in-law made it last night while she sat with the baby. I tell you that woman is a godsend. LOL She also made what was Mason’s favorite cake as a little boy for his birthday, Peanut butter. I thought it was caramel icing until I got close enough to smell it. He had to tell her that he could not have the cake because of my allergy but I told him to go ahead and at least eat one slice. Being that he likes it and it is his birthday.
I encouraged him to eat it all the while thinking ‘dude, I ain’t trying to kiss you, hug you, love you or nothing tonight. I just want to go to bed’. So he had his cake and slept in the guest bedroom. Happy Birthday to him.
But yeah those dumplings are calling my name and I don’t have to cook tonight.

@Kym
i hear u on that 12:12PM
On the debacle-
If I’d gotten ganked, hoodwinked, tricked, bamboozled and let astray by a person to the extent that I gave up money, puddy, or anything else I wouldn’t come on a blog and put myself on blast either. After putting the dudes prom picture up on the website, the world knows who is involved now. But even after doing all of that, it still won’t stop him from finding the next woman that will be receptive to his advances. G-A-M-E.
BTW, Why didn’t ya’ll use the picture from his FBI identification card for his profile?
I kid, I kid.

RAMs.Main doesnot recognize?who are u?the pope?pls it is as old as the world ,mankind falls in and out of love,deal with it.It is not like BP and JA had kids.People let go of this topic already!
Heck yeah, it’s Ms.Pope to you…lol. This is a freakin blog. Speaking on topic is odd to you becauuuuuse? Staying on topic shouldn’t be thought of as bizzare. Rare but not bizarre. Gheesh! I could give a rat’s azz about folks falling in and out of love, if you’re married….YOU LOST THE FREAKING RIGHT TO RANDOMLY SWAP AZZ at will. The ordination of marriage is as old as the world as well, thus keeping your vows shouldn’t be rocket science neither should it be as simple as changing drawers. Marriage and mankind (as you stated) all came along about the same time. Being ho-ish was brought by the thinking and the likes of folks like you.

You know what this is not like Young and the Restless at all. This is more like the old tv show SOAP. Remember SOAP? Benson was the spinoff. Yep, unbelievable drama and comedy.

Are the snuggies made out of fleece? They look like fleece on the tv. I know aggwitty stated the other week that they are dryclean only which is a bit much for a thin see thru fleece draping.

Yeah, I don’t think Snuggies were really designed for the outside. Though it shows it can go anywhere in the commercial.

I mean heck yeah, it’s the freaking USA, do whatcha feel. Don’t get mad though because someone call it for what it is.
For W8 – scandoulous written all over his posts. Especially the day he made mention of skipping folks posts…I guess….he felt beneath him. A joke!

Raqi – Yup, I bought a college themed Snuggie for one of my friends.
If you buy several at once, the price goes down. So it’s a good idea for folks who want them for Christmas.

Never mess with a married person ever, not even if they are legally separated. A spouse will hurt you if they find out.

To clarify, the price goes down on the Snuggies if you buy em on line. You can’t get all the college ones in local stores, so online is the way to go.

@Just ask first off I didn’t take one red cent from anybody. I got bread and thankful enough- a job.
Before I answer who because it was more than one even though dude implied there only being one individual. Ill just venture to say everyone on here knows the woman wasn’t as tough as she put on. But I know she hurt. But she is grown. And the so are the other birds.
But what I don’t get is from what I see on here and sometimes read is that alot of these women read like theyre workin’ with something. More advise then a little bit given on here five days a week. And some of them still can’t get right?
I’m disappointed in a way but at the same time I give a head nod to those who can pull it off in such a small circle. So with that Ill just say Staceye and Lioness I hope yall get it right next time. But for real yall played yourselves on some real uck shyt and for that you gets no pass. But dont fret because yall know yall werent the only ones.
And a forehead kiss to the ones who recognized game and like a lady decided to retreat. And there aint nothing wrong with that considering the circumstances.
