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?

@ Purple…..That could have been damaging to her. Why was it that you saw it fit to use her? You could have helped her instead of doing the opposite to another woman.

I recently heard/read about there possibly being limits to what can be bought with food stamps. For example – limiting junk food and soft drinks. I happen to think that is a very good idea. Making the food stamp program more like WIC would certainly cause an outcry, but I think it should be done.

@Jsmoove ~ Unfortunately, being used is part of living life. I’m laughing at the visual of PR turning her down because he doesn’t want to use her all the while bumping into doors and walls because blood flow has him standing at attention.

J-Smoove, because I have no morals and I did not care if I was damaging her. “help her instead of doing the opposite to another woman?” Sorry I did not know that I was a habitual violator of women. Did you miss the part where I said it was just sex, have you been used before or something? Besides, I do not save loose women. Our purpose was to sex each other, not fall in love.

OMG ~ thank you so very, very much Yes. I was suppose to call the officer yesterday and ask about the court date, but forgot. You just reminded me. I was told the court date would be in October, but I haven’t heard anything.
@blue ~ leave me alone! Reminds me of a time when I first arrived in Atlanta and a friend told me to meet her at Johnnie White Park. I couldn’t find this park to save my life. The next day she called asking what happened and I told her I couldn’t find the park. Not in the phone book or anything. Come to find out the name of the park was John A. White Park….southern twang left me confused!

@ Leggs…..That’s really sad unless that part of life can be used in a way to help others without causing self damage. That is an interesting picture, but it would one to be admired if he had walked away before adding to the already compounded damage of another person.

The food stamp issue – you could buy any food item with them but no alcohol or non food items. I remember being a cashier in high school and telling the last that Tide, Angel Soft, Soft Scrub and Tampons are not covered by food stamps and the look of horror on her face. they are called FOOD stamps…GEESH

@Jsmoove ~ didn’t sound like she was damaged at all…two freaks getting their groove on. Seems like they both new the real deal going in. Nobody got used! He just woke up one day realizing she was catching feelings and had to remove himself. Happens alot. First go in as sex friends then one catchs feelings…script has changed and someone has to bounce!

blue, exactly how is she going to fall in love with me. I never dated her, never took her in public. We only saw each other at night, we didnt even kiss. We just got sweaty with each other. If I saw her out and about we acted like we did not know each other. She can turn into a butterfly with someone else, I just knew her as the ugly catepillar that had a great body
