Dating: Should ladies let it all hang out?
I read something funny that caught my eye and reminded me about something: A guy said , “Girls spend too much time deciding what to wear; like guys aren’t picturing them naked the whole time.”
It was funny because I had just gone on a date Saturday night and spent no less than 2 hours doing pre-date rituals (Admittedly, I’m crushing hard on the guy, it’s usually 45 minutes prep time.) Then, as I checked the mirror and headed down the stairs I thought, “I actually want him to like me in sweatpants and a t-shirt too!”
Everyone wants to make a good impression when it’s new but there is something to be said about reaching that stage where you can remove your bra and eat frozen yogurt in front of your man. I’m anxious to get there but I know the importance of getting dolled up and feeling confident on a date.
So be honest guys, how much of the hair, makeup, and clothes are you really paying attention to?
If your date went totally casual, all natural, “carefree” when she shows up, would you admire her and think it’s refreshing? Would you wonder why she made no effort in being sexy for you?
Do men ever go overboard with grooming and preparing for a night out with someone?
Ladies, do you ever want to just put your hair in a ponytail and go on a totally effortless date? What kind of reaction do you think you would get? Are you the type that keeps it simple in your appearance or do you go full on glam?
P.S. A lot ladeies are picturing guys totally naked too. Just sayin’

PR – That ain’t a trip where you can reschedule. Just know you might need a back-up because I’d hate to be a no show. Hopefully you’ll plan on foregoing 2038 as well…in the event we’re summoned ahead of then

I say go for it, just don’t get upset when someone laughs or vomits at the site of you. Of course if it’s that bad you could pose for “The people of Walmart” just sayin.

My sister was out and about this past weekend and sent me a pic she took of this group of chicks that clearly mistook a pair of underwear as shorts….I say that because the shorts were so far up their hinies that the bootay was hanging out from the bottom revealing all sorts of dimples, crevaces, and other nastiness. Do chicks really think that’s cute or do they just not give a dayum?? I’m slim and I still don’t like my ass to be all out & exposed…smh

Not at all. Let’s plan this way, either “on the other side” or if we’re still here 2038. How’s that?

Actually, 2038 is the next computer date/time bug, like the millenium bug only different. Unless we get 128 bit CPUs before then, that could handle a number that corresponds to the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. Or something.
If you’re referring to the Apophis asteroid, that will pass under the orbits of man-made satellites on Friday, April 13, 2029, if I recall correctly; proceed in a loop around the sun, and then head straight back at us, perhaps to collide 7 years later, April 13th, 2037. Scientists have a hard time calculating the loop around the sun and subsequent path, because they figure proximity to Earth’s gravity will cause the asteroid to wobble, because it’s elliptical.

That’s 2036, not 2037, for the return path, 7 years… hmm, 7 years?! It’s another doomsday theory, but one that’s based in fact.
