Why is size important? Seriously!
Welcome back to another year of Misadventures in Atlanta! I’d like to give a warm greeting to new readers and a great big church lady hug to all our regulars. I thought I would start things off with a bang (no pun, really!) and explore the topic of “package size.” To maintain the integrity of our search engine optimization, I will say package, alright?
Men and women have debated ad nauseam if size matters. Regardless of what side of the issue you stand, I have always wondered why it is actually important in the first place. I was watching an episode of Misfits (science fiction-esque show) and one of the characters had his package..stolen. He literally did not want to live any longer.
Science fiction aside, what would happen to a guy if he did not have his package to define his manhood? There are so many other things about men that make them wonderful, why is their size so important?
I think of how – in comparison – many women feel the same when they have their breasts removed. They feel less of a woman, less feminine, etc. How are these body parts perceived as so much of who we think we are and how we see ourselves?
Let’s Discuss!

Leggs….any mature woman telling me they are alone and happy is like a lesbo telling me their lifestyle is natural.
See alone for humans,works for a minute:
When she wants to detox from a prior bad relationship
She divorced recently
She just broke off
She just temporarily alone for some reason
That’s just the way God made man…gregarious,booed up,coupling yada yada ..not my far fetched theory
An alone woman will often atone for the loneliness by reading the bible a lot!
To fond meaning in their life…,
To say an alone woman(man) ain’t lonely or won’t get lonely,especially in a prolonged time is some good fronting.
All single chics get lonely coz of a man absence…whether they have girlfriends or not.
Infact,seeking girlfriends is an affirmation of their loneliness.
Counter?

ex – we’ve had this discussion before. I’ll counter my same old counter. not to sound cliché but alone doesn’t equal lonely. I’m alone a lot. I’m rarely lonely. note I said rarely, not never. besides if I have to be lonely I’d rather be alone and lonely than in a relationship and still lonely. let’s face it. lots of coupled up folks are lonely. not getting what they need out of their relationship but not ready to do what needs to be done to get it.

Now to add on that 4:26..there are women as they are men who hate,just hate the opposite sex..
Either they don’t indulge,it’s not in their system or they are happy with BOB or self nutt(for men)
Ofcourse that’s weird but ….

This is her first day. Grown chick, peanut butter complexion, no ring on. Fly little business suit, but it can’t hide that azz. Sounds Jamican but she’s from Guyana. I knew they were about to bring someone on. I was pleased when I saw it was a sista. I wouldn’t touch her, but imma dayum sure watch her walk around the office.

u can’t find solace or justification for ur aloneness. – Cracking up, because coming across a-holes isn’t a justification for a woman not to hook up with one of them. Even those in 3-piece suits.

she is voluptuous, but by grown i mean her eyes revealed that she has experienced life. My guess is she’s mid thirties.

Not unhappy ITL but lonely….
U can be happy but lonely…
Lonely has to do with ones completeness as a woman
Some want marriage others don’t want marriage but a regular boo and ding a ling
Company….
The regular company of ur girlfriends is never an ideal …front or not.

ex – believe it or not some women really are content with their own company, the company of their girlfriends, the company of their children. heck, some are content with the company of their pets, little pocket dogs and kitty cats and what not. having a package does not necessarily make a man good company. sometimes that package is all that joker really has. lol.

@Ex: We’ve blogged together enough for you to know i am a believer. But I suspect we are referencing different scriptures. To the point made earlier, it is better to be alone than to be with someone who does not meet your standards.
