Dating: Trivial pursuit?
I was surprised to learn that a couple of my guy friends were still pursuing women who had not shown any real interest in them. I know some men like the challenge of chasing some women. Women they believe are worth the effort. How persistent did they plan to be, though?
I wonder how men decide that a woman is going to be worth all that work. Would they need to see some effort on her part to reciprocate?
I know a lot of women who treat men badly, simply because they know that the guy will stick around and endure it.
Do men like a challenge? Is it always about the chase and the pursuit that makes it exciting?
Ladies, do you know think playing hard to get is a good approach when men are pursuing you?

Last but not least Seeking Favors: Never contemplate taking advantage of your man’s warm after-sex glow to seek favors or make requests. As he drops off into well-deserved slumber, resist the urge to ask, “Do you think I should buy that dress, skirt, sofa, Mercedes, country cottage?” There is a name for the practice of mixing sex with material gain – prostitution

The Cupper – nothing wrong with cupping his balls while your tongue is taking the long route to O Street.

The Explorer – Nothing wrong with exploring other areas of his body besides the d!ck. Kiss and caress him in places he doesn’t expect; behind the ears, down his neck, over the chest and under the balls.

CC – Actually, the men could take a note from the Explorer. They always want to go straight to the target areas. I like when they take a scenic route

Take a good look at it
Look at it now
Might be the last time you’ll
Have a go round
I’ll let you touch it if you’d
Like to go down
I’ll let you go further
If you take the southern route
Don’t go too fast
Don’t go too slow
You’ve got to let your body flow
I like ‘em attentive
And I like ‘em in control

Today’s topic.
it must feel good to you, baby
to hurt me over and over again,
and it must feel good to you, baby
to see me cry,
you say you will, you say you won’t
baby, why don’t you make up your mind
you say you do, you say you don’t
baby, baby, please be kind
you love me now, and then you don’t
baby, why do you keep playin’ these games
I feel like I’m on a merry go round
goin’ round and round and round and round and round
I gave you this, I gave you that
but it didn’t mean anything
when you love someone right
you don’t expect them to do you wrong

Leggs just got word the number 972 fell in Chicago today. What that means usaully the GA lottery follows the same number pattern as in Cjicago. Watch out for it here soon.

Leggs~ I am on the fence about buying tickets because it is supposed to rain all weekend. Don’t want to be out in the rain trying to sing along with anyone!

I just got tickets to tonight’s game at the GA dome. I got them for Free.99 ! That just so happens to fit my budget. My breeze card is already full. I am not a Tennessee Volunteer fan at all so I guess that I will be a Wolfpack fan for a night.
A partner just gave them to me. I live downtown so going to the Dome is always easy.
Slim…you are on a roll, maam.

CC-
You sound like a taller version of Mrs. PG.
She went to the “U” for law school and acts crazier than I do while watching game. It is one reason that I am hesitant of becoming a Falcons season ticket holder. She screams, yells, and even has a bad call brick (foam brick) that she throws at the TV when the refs make a call that she does agree with.
However, she is not going tonight. She participates in the DragonCon stuff. Something called steampunk. I really have no idea what it is either. She and her girls go every year. I think that it is just a reason to go out in a corset.
