Smart Phones Killed Dating?
I read a pretty compelling argument on a blog recently that said smart phones killed dating. Wait, is dating dead!? I can agree that smart phones have given dating a nasty virus. To some, they may have even put dating in the ICU. I think it is self-inflicted and it can be corrected, though!
With technology, social networking, social media, how can we harness all that cool tech stuff to actually enhance our dating experiences? What are clearly defined challenges that smart phones and technology bring? What are ways we can creatively handle those challenges?
In your own experiences, would you say that your smart phone has added to your game? Taken away from it? No change at all?
Happy Monday everyone!

CC – no telling when I’ll be that way. I’ve told my brother’s baby momma (lol) that she needs to meet me in Greenville to make the swap. I love my niece but I’ll be darned if I drive all the way down to get her, then drive back and repeat. her momma is the one getting a free week she better make it halfway up the road.

They won’t be wrestling, but they will be grabbing each other, and using foreign objects that will make the crowd in the arena go crazy….what, too much?…off to the corner I go.

$20 wasted….lol
On the real, I never suggest to the fellas, lets go to the Strip….and the worst one is Magic City, best looking staff but you gonna spend out in there for sure.., they hit you for parking, hit you for entrance, hit you at the bar, and they only play about half the song…..so if you are getting a dance, each time a new track comes on, $10 more bucks buddy…..rip off

Hey Everyone.
Hey Celly Cel. Congrats on the new ride. How have you been?
Bootleg blogging I see, and the convo is a blog meetup at The Flame.
I like Pin Ups though, $5 table dances are the best!!
Jake Don’t forget Pleasers. haha The $5 joints are disappearing man. Nikki’s on Stewart was the spot though, hands down.

As far as being economical, Strokers is pretty tough to beat. Of course, the only time I went there was in the middle of the afternoon (don’t judge me), so we were just about the only people in the place. Another tip: if you go wearing baggy shorts & boxers, you’ll find out why they call the place “Strokers.”

So, Leggs, if we go to the skrip club, who do I send the thank you note to; the blog mates or the skrippers?

Jake – Well, they say some folks go to the shoe show for the fantansy, and in some cases, the hopes to get fugged in there. However, folks end up getting fugged alright but just not in the way they originally thought. They might as well just take your wallet before you enter the building. lol

Dreams-Pleasers is off my list…last time I went there…lets just say the staff wasn’t getting it done…
You are right about the 5dollar joints…first one down was Jazzy T’s….had to have been here awhile to know bout the T’s
I am not even trying to see what they gonna do you at this new K.O.D. ATL….I already know its gonna be a rip off.
Kamal’s is cool though…the girls in there do the talk to you, maybe even buy you a drink so you feel compelled to spend back with’em routine…works for me, its a drink and a half price dance in my eyes

OH MY! A topic that I love, and we’re rouge status – ahhhh yeeaaahhhh!
The Bloggers at a strip club…hmmmm.
As far as VW Bugs go, I just got my son a 2012 Turbo in Grey with black stripes and wheels. I’ve been driving it once a month to keep it going, and to say the least – this isn’t the VW Bugs of yesterday. I debadged it, so his mother didn’t balk at the turbo. I gotta say, I really like the new Bug a lot. I swear it has the same wheel-base as my 993 RS Porsche.

Jake~ I think that Magic City gets by on name recognition and celebrities these days. What about the clubs only for the ladies? We used to go to the Lemon Peel back in the day…
So, I guess in keeping with the topic (kindof) “What’s your porn star name?” There are several ways you can come up with one, but the most popular I have heard are either:
Middle name + First Car
First Pet’s Name + Street you grew up on
So mine would be~
Middle + Car = Yvonne Super Beetle or
First Pet + Street = Tatson Friendly

Swiss…You should try lunch at Pin Ups, the Jerk Wings are great….midday is actually the best time at any of them, the girls are not as hungry for the $$$ and they are really relaxed..
Slim-the funny thing is, some women do not like a dude to go to the Strip Club, but his chances of taking puddy out of there are much slimmer than if he just goes to Happy Hour or a local night spot….”message”…..lol

Comon ~ I believe it’s a 1993 or a 1998. Will check.
swiss ~ have to agree with you on Strokers. Go there for lunch every so often.
Comon ~ you send the thank you note to the person who came up with the idea of going to The Flame. The strippers could give a rat’s tail about a thank you card w no money inside.
