Should women date like men?
I was listening to a song the other day, called Do It Like A Dude. It was by the singer Jessie J and the lyrics – and video – are quite hilarious. I thought how silly it would be if women behaved as men. No offense to the gentleman folk but I am not sure I could ever carry on like you do.
When it comes to dating, I can be dude-like in some instances, though. I know a lot of men who don’t rush a dating relationship. I am the type that takes it super slow, and I don’t usually get clingy with the men I date.
What would happen if more women dated like men, though? Would it be a good thing for some, bad thing for others?
Could some men stand to date like a woman?
What dating or relationship habits/behaviors do you think we could benefit from adopting from the opposite sex?

Last joke of the day, maybe:
A local preacher was paying a visit to one of his church members on a Friday night, and heard a loud party as he approached the house. He knocked on the door and the owner answered. Behind him, he saw a circle of naked men, with blindfolded women moving from man to man, fondling each man’s package, and guessing who it was.
The preacher, seeing this, said, “I’m sorry. I don’t think I’d fit in here right now.” “Nonsense, ” the man replied. “Your name’s been called three times already!”

SCOOL….what is your wedding date? You want to at least have placed the dress order no later than 5 months out. If not you could be S.O.L on getting what you want.
PURPLE…..I tell ya, I am still having heart palpitations form the one scene of where Alcide is getting naked and he is so tall and muscular..and those abs…sweet Baby Jesus. Then they have Eric coming out of the water naked at the same time. A girl can’t take it!
Tommy is Sam’s brother. But I am sure Sam will save him from Psycho Dad!
The baby is friggin’ Chunky man!
Do you still think Crystal, aka Big Mama Kitty is hot in a Trailor Trash kind of way?
That witch is not to be F**ked with! She has Pam all jacked up!

We’re having DVBS at church for the kids this week and I’m excited. Ours is in the evening, the kids’ ages range from 1 – 18. Yeah that seems old but they have all kinds of stuff going on…for all ages. Trivia, competitions, games…everything. It gets so loud and rowdy because the kids are having a blast. Too, being in the evening the kids are fed every night.

BMW – they told my sister the same thing. She got her dress back in three weeks. Then, proceeded to lose damn near 30 pounds and had to reorder the dress in a different size two weeks before the wedding. The second time, they got it back in a week.
But I feel you. Actually, I’m probably not going the *traditional* wedding dress route. I have something else in mind.

I understand the draw for some…and this is so NOT out of jealousy…I swear…but this picture…with her shoulders kinda hunched forward…kills her sex appeal.
I mean, I understand that she has a killer body, but it doesn’t translate into that feminine sex appeal. (if that makes sense.)

Think about it, when gravity starts to do it’s think and that butt can no longer sit high and butt crunches won’t do and no amount of time at the gym will reverse, a butt that big will start to relocate on it’s on. Mainly to the gut. Can’t even find traces of what use to be.

I have a coworker that’s been cool with me for about 13 years now and when I met her she was 43. She was stunningly beautiful back then and nicely built. Showed me pics of herself during her 20s and was just absolutely beautiful. A quiet natural beauty. Nothing about her like the obvious beauty in the magazine. She’s aged VERY nicely. She’s got me by quite a few years but you can still see traces of good genes. The super hot guys in our department (with their fine selves…lol) use to ALWAYS comment on how the bet she was a dime back during the height of her youth. Very hourglassy shaped. She’s not quite the same as 13 years has passed but for a woman near mid 50s she ain’t bad at all.
