Relationships with expiration dates
I’m just at a loss of what to say to women who still believe that great sex is enough to keep a man. I think it is one of those situations that people have to experience before they get it.
The reality is it’s easy to entertain, like, and be enamored with one another when your clothes are off. That’s actually the easier part in a lot of ways!
What happens when your clothes are back on and you start to realize that outside the bedroom, you actually don’t connect in other ways?
Let me give you a hint: Tick. Tock. That’s the timer ticking to down to the demise of the relationship.
It’s not just because orgasms aren’t enough to keep two people interested. It takes more. A lot more. Especially if you want more.
Sure the amazing bedroom trysts will be a shiny new toy you can’t stop playing with – but the novelty wears off. What do you think it takes to sustain a relationship without expiration dates?
Don’t you think it rather… interesting.. that sex alone can’t sustain a relationship but a relationship without sex won’t last either?
Why do you think that is? Or do you disagree?

I’m gonna suggest that Ex’s Mayberry persona be Ernest T. Bass… comes by, throws a few rocks, and runs away laughing.

Good googley moogley, Demi is in the house! {{waving}}!
Hey there, ITL/Blackfoote.
Meeting went well until one of my servers caught an attitude because I was walking around the hotel offering plates of food to guests. I always order too much food and since I sign the bill and cut the check, I can do what I want with all the food that’s left over. I fed 17 other people I never met. She had the audacity to ask me if I knew the people fixing plates. I said “yes, I just met them at the front entrance!” She must have seen the look on my face cuz she backed up.

She was Andy’s girlfriend, Leggs! Very avant-garde for her time, since she was an intelligent, working woman who didn’t take any crap-ola off Andy or anyone else.

Andy is honest, fair, and stern when need be. Dont’ need a pat on the back or ego stroke, always giving the underdog a platform to excell. Like to see other folks thrive, without anything in return.

Ex, I compared you to him, because, much like he did the run-by rock throw, you run by the blog, toss out a little rock that gets things stirred up, and then sit back and giggle at your handy work. It was not meant as a dis at all, and I apologize if you took it that way.

“I’m just at a loss of what to say to women who still believe that great sex is enough to keep a man.”
See, if most women would admit the problem, they would be taking first step in correcting it. Most of you think “sex” is all you should contribute and nothing else. As I have said since I came here and tell my fellow brethren Women are over rated and are getting worse, you all act like a pretty face and T and A entitle you to a free ticket in life. I have seen it, been in it, and let me tell you it ain’t all that special, women just need to get over themselves and actually work for “The Life” I am very against people getting something nothing, I have worked for everything in my life, whats your problem.

And when he talks about his girlfriend’s lingerie.
“I was lookin’ through my girlfriend’s dresser, and she’s got these underbritches that ain’t got no crotch in ‘em. And I look over at her, and she’s layin’ on the bed saying, ‘You want some of this?’ and I said ‘H8%% naw….look what it done did to your underbritches!’ ”
That one gets me ROTFL….

ITL: I was just in the store yesterday and forgot all about the dayum fruit roll ups. I usually like to go with black attire but last night I was trying on a few ensembles and was thinking I may go with the color white…not sure though.
Purp – My ‘plans’ are still up in the air at the moment. I’ll do a bit more brainstorming later on tonight.
UGA – How in the world is a skrip club going to help you see the different in white and black women? This isn’t the only time you’ve brought up this inquiry. Wouldn’t it make sense to just go out with a AA chick as opposed to seek out mere adult entertainment as your grounds for research? OR are you just curious in the diff in white and black shoe shows?

Slim you better ask the men what we like instead of asking these women what we like. Have a Sports Illustrated magazine and a beer in the passenger seat while you drive wearing a halter top, boy shorts and heels. Do that and he will propose right there on the spot!
