Dating: Will ONLY cook for love
The joys of having male friends knows no bounds. They say the most enlightening things to get me really thinking. For instance, my friends tell me it is easier to get sex from a “modern woman” than a home-cooked meal. Not that they are complaining, mind you.
Apparently, the women they meet consider cooking the last frontier in a new relationship. These women will ONLY cook for love. There really is something to be said about a woman taking the time to cook a man a home cooked meal. Cooking for and feeding a man is a very intimate thing, but so is sex.
I am curious to know if men remember the women who cooked a great meal for them more than the woman who rocked his world in the bedroom. What would you think if a woman offered to cook you dinner for a first or second date? Have you ever cooked a meal for a woman you just started dating?
Ladies, when do you decide to cook a meal for a guy? Is it usually after the two of you have become physical? When was the last time you made a romantic dinner for someone?
P.S. We are all adults, right? So let’s have a judgement free discussion!

And that’s exactly the type of activity that draws the attention of law enforcement (hopefully) before the plan go come to fruition.
The same argument that was used when they supposedly made the gun laws tougher.

“Guns Don’t Kill People. People Kill People”
Do not ever play with guns. Only retrieve your gun when you perceive a real threat to your life, children or personal property. I can only speak for myself. When I was younger I owned a nice sportscar (1977 corvette). Early one morning I heard my engine start and looked out my bedroom window to see a guy stealing my car. My first reaction was to retrieve my Glock 9mm pistol and shoot this guy. I raised my window and was about to pull the trigger when my girl friend stepped in front of me and said “do you want to kill that guy for stealing your car, it’s not that important, it is only a car.” I stopped and called the police. Shooting someone is not easy. Are you prepared for the mental and emotional consequences of your actions? Ask yourself if killing someone will make your life better. No it won’t.

jail? maybe, maybe not. if I were on the jury of someone charged with shooting a car thief caught in the act I’d go easy on them. there really are some cases of “you get what you get”. now, of course, he could have been a poor shot and the bullet could have gone through a neighbor’s window and killed the kid that was spending the night or something crazy like that.

Me and my potnahs have always been of the mindset, I’d rather get caught with fiya than without it. We were all felons. Our typical M.O. was to date a green chick, tell her this is a rough city and she needs protection. Offer to buy her a firearm and send her in the store to buy three or four. I never left home unarmed. Carrying a weapon makes one less likely to apologize and your tolerance for bullsh&*^t decreases tremendously. I once had an enlightening conversation with my now deceased father-in-law. This man spent half his life in prison and was notorious for his temper and gunplay. Ironically, he encouraged me to stop carrying a weapon. He said…. “son leave the Guns at home. If you get in an argument and loose you temper it’s easy to pull heat and kill a man over foolishness. But if you have to go back home and get your piece, that gives you time to think about your actions. Now, if you get home, grab you gun, drive all the way back and you still want to shoot him. He probably deserves it…” Of course you have to consider the source of this penitentiary logic, but I never forgot conversation.

Heat of passion versus thought out crimes are in the Bible. It’s speaks to this behavior/mindset. Not necessarily penitentiary logic. Just how man/humans can be when angered.

S/H – I hear ya about the road rage! I have that bad, but have learned to reel it in some. I remember one time that I flipped someone the bird and he proceeded to follow us (my fiance at the time was driving). I was trying to encourage my fiance to drive to the police station, but he was trying to go to his house to get his gun. I was like…what if he has a gun and shoots you while you’re trying to go into the house to get yours? Duh! The guy finally stopped following us. Definitely a lesson learned. I may get mad, but try not to let the other drivers see it…

D – a professional actor? lol. I’ve never quite heard it put that way but okay. I’ll buy that. seems like we should get some kind of bonus pay or something for having to act. I had a conversation with a white friend of mine once about her taking for granted that she could go to work and be herself while I have to go to work everyday and be “workplace disco”. she didn’t even understand the concept.
btw – D – is your wife an actor too?

lol….-disco- She tries…. but she hasn’t quite mastered it yet . She needs to work on professionally straightening folks in a corporate setting. A couple of wrong words and the jig is up. She’s cursing out the whole office.
Speaking of acting, this Friday is our office Christmas party. They voted to go bowling in lieu of the traditional setting. Typically, I would show my face, brown nose a bit and dip. Now I gotta bowl and they bought team t-shirts. That brings up a whole new dilemma for me. They have never seen my forearms with all these tattoos and battle wounds.

your wife sounds like my kind of girl. don’t I wish I could let loose and tell a few folks a thing or two. even better, I wish work were like high school and you could just fight, serve your time in suspension and get on with your life. I have decided to opt out of the holiday celebration. of course, I guess no one will be surprised.

Like everyone, I’m a product of the environment in which I was raised. I’m happy that I’ve been able to maintain myself such that I have no need of putting on an act around anyone, work or play, corporate or in a concert, ball game or church.
To me, I am what I say I am, not what someone else thinks I am. I for real with everyone, all the time, no matter what. Unless they’re a cop, in which case I’m silent and doing my best to avoid them. Got no use for cops.
Now, should someone be found at some kind of fault due to the environment in which they were raised, to the extent they feel they have to put on an act? I rather doubt that many are fooled by the act. In fact, I think that by and large, people’s perceptions that they have to put on an act are mistaken. I think putting on an act is a mistake. You’ll slip up sooner or later, and those (you think you have) fooled will scratch their head and say “what what?”. Your stock will plummet. Better to not enact a lie.

We’re quite ethnically diverse around here — really so, not just a black-white mix. I don’t think anyone pretends to be anything or anyone they’re not. Me personally, I don’t share much that’s personal at work anyway, but it’s nothing to do with my background. I just don’t care to bring personal stuff into work, and vice-versa.
What’s your business, ergo game?

Yeah, we did the bowling thing a while ago. I never bowl, but it was fun — rolled a 162 and 170. Some of the chicks couldn’t bowl at all, but it was fun to watch them throw it.
So, a couple options: wear a long sleeve tee under the bowling shirt, forget about what people think of your arms, or be ill that night.

I don’t think it’s a matter of not being yourself. it’s a matter of having more than one self. the way I speak/act at home definitely wouldn’t fly at work. the way I speak at work, likely wouldn’t fly at home. the way one acts on a Saturday night out may not be how they act at Sunday morning service. just different versions of one’s self.
