Intentions determine attraction?
When someone is just looking to hook up, obviously there is a different approach involved in what appeals to them. You’re not that concerned about intelligence, sense of humor, or kindness. It’s pretty much all about whether or not they “do it for you” in terms of attraction.
If you actually want to meet someone that has potential, hopefully your attraction will go beyond the superficial things like their body or their face. Interestingly enough there was a study published that described the way we select mates when we want short-term or long-term connections.
Do you consider a person’s body (height, stature, etc.) before you look at their face? What if you are looking for a real relationship? Do you prioritize importance of body and face in a different way?

Make sure you all get out and vote. I early voted yesterday – there was a line, which is good. Some early voting places will be open tomorrow as well.

celisea, you now know first-hand that the sugar subs in diet drinks actually cause us to crave more food/sweets. thus, they work against you if you’re calorie counting
CZBrat – glad you mentioned even though I don’t really watch calories/fat unless I’ve gone berserk and REALLY overdo it. Even then I’ll scale back for awhile. Not really a big eater but every now and then I get a hankering for sweets.

Mr.Leggs, my bad I meant Blackfoote –
I was indeed in attendance the day yall selected blog wives/queens. i noticed the game and the players and figured that at least half of yall couldnt keep ya stable straight. At that very moment I became a psuedo blog Maintenance Man if you will. My apologies if I have encroached on your “territory” but you do understand I dont call out I only accept calls. With that being said, i sincurly hope that you work it out with all your boo’s. If not ….

2CPTG, listen you know what type I woman I am. I told you since I already have one other husband you can only have one other wife. Now you want to bring in two more?
Let me think about this.
.

Okay I tell you what, the main house along with the north and east wings will be mine and always mine.
Mo already has the west wing so I guess it may be okay if Slim takes the south wing. I guess it will be okay for Cutie to share the south wing with Slim. But only when my car arrives.
Cutie, sweetie it’s nothing against you it’s that man you are about to marry.

I likes my blog men possesive and aggressive and jealous. Oh, and rich.
If you meet those qualifications, I’m taking applications for a slot on a 3rd husband that became available. You need to step to me right though. Purple BROUGHT IT, big Flintstone rock and errthang.
If no applicants meet my approval, imma have to go outside the blog to another blog for another husband. I don’t like interblog relationships!

What’s good, everyone
I see the 50% divorce rate is playing out on the blog marriages. That’s good for me though ’cause now all the blog women will be coming back on the market with half of someone else’s assets. Ya’ll don’t be mad if you see me whipping that benz that used to be yours. lol
