Relationships: Do you have a dark side?
I have had Kelly Clarkson’s song, Dark Side, in my head all weekend! She sings, “Everybody has a dark side” and this is the absolute truth. We all have a dark side, so when do you show yours?
When you are dating someone great, you secretly wait for something to be “revealed” because NO one can be this fantastic. Then one day, you witness them lose their cool, or you see something totally unexpected. Are you relieved that you finally got to see a true picture of who they are?
Has that ever happened to you? Have you showed or seen the dark side of personality? How did you handle it?

I told her a women sex drive doesn’t kick in at 40, it’s her lack of caring what other women think about the type of sex she wants that kicks in.
LOLOL, so they get tired of trying to play the good girl/woman role lol Be life eff dat, gimmie some dizzle in the icecream section of the grocery store but stop by the produce aisle first and bring a cucumber, banana and a 1/2lb of seedless grapes to shove up my arse

4 Real – That’s what hubs said about Walt – that he is smelling himself & becoming unlikeable! I take Tony Soprano. There was nothing likeable about Nino Brown to me. Even though he was bad, I kinda liked Tony!LOL!!

Light – I never got that memo, cause I never have been into the “you can work with him” type dudes. Some said I was being mean or too picky, but I just kept it real. I know me. He needs to be his own man, with or without me.

Michael Baisden is talking about women who tries to fix up men. Why does a woman want a man who doesn’t really want himself in their present state.

leggs – duh. because there’s a grip of women who just want a man. any old piece of man will do. if he needs a little work she’s cool with that. if she has to overlook some questionable behavior, it’s all good. if she has to pay his phone bill or car note every now and again, why, that’s just what good women do for their men. lol.

The 40 year old woman sex drive actually goes up when the 40 year old man appears to dive.
Reason: the woman’s estrogen level lowers while her testosterone level pretty much stays the same. Simply put, the ratio of estrogen-to-testosterone in her body, chemically becomes slightly more masculine, so the woman experiences what we men experience our entire lives, high sex drive and desire.
The forty year old man, however experience the opposite, his testosterone level lowers while his estrogen pretty much remains the same, simply put he becomes slightly more feminine chemically speaking of course. The man will experience less and less desire for sex. of course overall health is a big factor too tho.

Good change ITL because that’s what I was thinking.
Your right, disco. I can embrace being alone if I’m presented with that type of man. Me no can do. Me will not do! A half of a man is like one good eye and one droppy eye. Vision will always be off.

ITL – not the ticking. so… my grandmother has (had she’s since passed) a house full of clocks that all ticked. no matter where you were in the house (even upstairs and my grandmother didn’t even climb stairs) you could hear “tick tick tick tick”. it was so annoying to me. anyway, we’d kind of turned all of the ticking into the family’s inside joke. one day some of my little cousins were around and I said “my team is dynamite, my team is dynamite, my team is tick tick tick tick tick tick Boom – Dynamite”. all of my cousins fell out laughing and my grandmother was trying to figure out what was so funny. I was like I don’t know what’s wrong with those crazy kids. yeah. I guess I was wrong setting those kids up like that but I couldn’t help it. the rest of my visit I’d say “boom – dynamite” and they’d bust out laughing.

I remember my Granny getting so mad because my cousin said that my uncle looked like George Jetson. We all laughed and laughed, and the more we laughed, the madder she got. And she didn’t even know who George Jetson was!!!!

are we going to go back and forth on grandmas. once my little brother and some cousins were discussing the movie twister when it came out. they were having a good old time talking about cows swirling through the air. my grandmother overheard and went OFF. she was going on and on about tornadoes being dangerous and how they were the lord’s work and there wasn’t anything funny about them. she went on and on. mind you the kids are stumped. at first they tried to explain that it was a movie but grandma was not hearing it. she was telling them that they needed to have some respect for tornadoes. I was standing off to the side trying to hold my laugh in.
oh. and your uncle looked like george jetson? that in itself is funny. lol.
