Why Are You So Dam!n Stupid?

Can all some of the men ponder that for a moment. Why are you some of you so dam!n stupid?

I love my male AyAy’s (coined by SBM from the phrase YaYa Sisterhood). But I’ve been “perusing my thoughts” and the net, and while I am pleased to say there are men out here with good sense (some who frequent this site). Certain others are dumb as the day is long. Dictating and regulating EVERYTHING along with the total course of action in a dating situation.

I come from the school of thought that men like structure, they like rules, and they also like to take all kinds of dating liberties, if you let them, a la (behaving badly), along the lines of: “there are more of me than there are of you” ratio stupidity.

 

So you take his bullshyt, his disrespect, his “willy nilliness”, because he knows you will. You bought into the asinine 20:1 (male to female mythical comparison in {insert your metro area here}) because he sold it to you. Some men need you to believe the mathematical urban legend because him multi-tasking yo ass leaves you pining away for his, which works FOR HIM. But presents you with the present of desperation that keeps on calling. That keeps on trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

I honestly feel as though it goes back to women not knowing their worth. There is a lid for every pot, so why would you let a dic!k regulate where a courtship/dating situation goes. Why would you let him dictate to you what the next course of action is? Now this next statement will surprise you all. But once in a committed relationship, (read marriage) a man should lead. He should be the visionary. But in courtship and dating, you don’t know if he can find his way to the dam!n bathroom without piss!in on himself, so why would you allow him to define “where you’re going” without certain preliminaries.

Those preliminaries to follow tomorrow.

    Man, Comeback is always managing to spit total truth around here. I think you’re right women use multi-tasking to multi-task and men use it to h0.

    I have learned that if you let a man do whatever you will never be able to change his behavior. Like you’re trying to get serious and he’s still acting ridiculous because you’ve let him get away with bo bo foolishness (works cite Comeback) so we’ve got to stop letting this happen to ourselves.

    “I honestly feel as though it goes back to women not knowing their worth.”

    You must know your worth and not settle for sloppy seconds.

    Some things we can’t control but then there are those things that we can–you control who you let into your innercircle. Expect respect. You set your boundaries and its up to you to demand respect. A man will only do to you what you allow him to do.

    And you can’t turn a ho into a husband either. I’ve seen friends think they can change a man after they say “I do.” Accept him as is or else you’ll be disappointed.

    Comeback, I agree in a marriage the man should be the head of the household. That’s why it’s so important to marry a man who is head of household material. If he’s not cut out to be the head of the household, a woman should think twice before saying “I do.”

    @ JAC “I have learned that if you let a man do whatever you will never be able to change his behavior. Like you’re trying to get serious and he’s still acting ridiculous because you’ve let him get away with bo bo foolishness”

    RIGHT. its hard to turn the ship around once its already headed down a charted path. Why not commence a situation with good intention. Set the standard. Nicely check the things you don’t like. And bounce on the deal breakers.

    @ Shelia “Comeback, I agree in a marriage the man should be the head of the household. That’s why it’s so important to marry a man who is head of household material. If he’s not cut out to be the head of the household, a woman should think twice before saying “I do.”

    this is so true. But women don’t give a man a chance to even show you that he even CAN. because we’re making all these excuses. Playing the man, lettin him be the chick. We cant even see what he’s made of. Get out of his way. And let him show you who he is.

    well, whichever works …. works.
    pre determined roles dont work.

    mom mother cooked,
    my mother ran the garden
    my mother did the laundry
    my father made the most money

    in my household
    I cooked
    I ran the garden
    My mate did the laundry
    and my mate made the most money.

    My household functioned.

    conversely my fighting buddy works at a law firm. his wife…. well lets just say she is having problems finding employment. she sometimes would temp for $10/hr. So she is home. She cant cook, she is too small to do much real cleaning, and he sends his suits to the laundry so she dosent do clothing either. their marriage is fine and not only is the earning insane kinds of lopsided (1,000 per year vs 135,00 per year) but the wife dosent have the general “typical” roles in the house either. Ive never seen a man more in a rush to get home to see a woman he has already been with since he was 13 years old.

    so if your roles work for your household…. then they work. think outside the box. we are black people…. built and forged by our environment to adapt and improvise. why stop now?

    and a final thought, if you are to pre JUDGE and pre STATE what a man “should” do and what you shouldnt “have to” do……

    as a black woman

    is that not the same of how white people pre JUDGE us both and pre STATE how we should act??

    the word is prejudice that we both hate…. it comes from the root to pre judge. as a black woman, nothing should offend you more than discrimination and inequality. weather it be on a social, civil, legal or even ROMANTIC platform.

    Good Morning Everyone

    “So you take his bullshyt, his disrespect, his “willy nilliness”, because he knows you will. ”

    I never could understand why some women let dudes get away with straight bulls**t. I also never could understand why I never attract these women. I wouldn’t do 1/8 of the stuff these dudes do but these women never come my way.

    “But once in a committed relationship, (read marriage) a man should lead. He should be the visionary. But in courtship and dating, you don’t know if he can find his way to the dam!n bathroom without piss!in on himself, so why would you allow him to define “where you’re going” without certain preliminaries.”

    I am not sure what you mean by lead. Can you explain?

    Hasani,

    I think you’re missing the whole point on what Comeback means as “head of household.”

    I discriminate against “sorry men.” Just can’t deal with them and no I don’t like them. Too many people get involved with people just to say they’re in a relationship and then are miserable because they settled for a “sorry” man or woman. I’ve yet to figure out that concept.

    Humble One,

    It does sometimes seem like folks who mistreat folks can get away with more stuff than the person who is trying to do right (at least most of the time). Just ask yourself though–do you even want to be with a woman who will allow a man to dog her out like that–probably not.

    I could not agree more. Thats why I am waiting for that man who I feel comfortable enough to relenquish all control because I know that he knows what he is doing. I have yet to feel that comfortable with one. The Lord knows my heart though and I know he will lead me to him.

    October 29, 2008 | 9:14 am

    @ Hasani i really loved how you ZONED in on ONE thing and RAN completely down the block with it. did i mention money AT ALL? A secure man realizes that even if a woman makes more its the FAMILIES money. And maybe she get’s pregnant and wants to stay at home for a few years. AND HE MAKES MORE.

    Maybe they have property together (IT”S THEIR’S)..which is why a man being a visionary is very important to me. Small minded thinkers are tied to the INCOME. A husband and wife can have more in their portfolo besides the liquid cash they make bi-weekly.

  12. Holly GoLightly
    October 29, 2008 | 9:15 am

    Like you said Comeback, most women buy into th e 20:1 ratio, thus results in the demise of them knowing their worth. I know here in Atlanta there are a lot of women who don’t mind being the jump off or one of the “main girls” because they are scared that they will be alone. I know chicks who know that their men are possibly DL (down low) and they have no problem accepting that possibility.

    One thing I think we as women forget a lot of times is that we are the choosers, we set the tone for how the chips will fall and where they will lay.

    @ Humble “I am not sure what you mean by lead. Can you explain?

    its hard to explain. I don’t mean to suggest that he’s bossing anybody around. That he is manipulating on indimidating me. Or that he doesn’t listen to me. But HE has a vision. And he is navigating the ship with his vision in mind. And that doesn’t mean that if i see us headed down a dark narrow path that i don’t open my mouth and if pushed…takes all on the little tug boat as the titanic sinks.

    but judgement is key here and I would hope that I am picking WELL ENOUGH to know how he navigates HIS personal situation.

    @ Nick “I agree with this. Stupid women or women who settle, make it hard out here for the good women. They are the reason why when we stand up, we are referred to a ABW or combative…

    i agree. but women can stand apart from the ABW sterotype that unfortunately is ONE man’s opinion. I know Im not angry rather the opposite. I just know that im choosey about whom i start things with. And for any old man to suggest Im angry because i don’t think WE are a good fit. Can go jump in the river.

    @ Jolie “I could not agree more. Thats why I am waiting for that man who I feel comfortable enough to relenquish all control because I know that he knows what he is doing. I have yet to feel that comfortable with one. The Lord knows my heart though and I know he will lead me to him.

    please help Humble with this because he is not feeling me.

    @ Holly “One thing I think we as women forget a lot of times is that we are the choosers, we set the tone for how the chips will fall and where they will lay.

    WELCOME…and EXACTLY…the ratio is an old wives tale. Namely because not every woman is ready for the “right man”. I honestly believe that there is one person who is on the same page with you. You just have to know how to detect and choose.

    lol…naw comeback, you aren’t stupid. It’s all in time. whatever you’re learning now will help you appreciate that right man when he comes riding in that shining armor and whatnot…

    As far as leadership goes, I know it’s my job to set the direction/tone of my relationship/family by my actions/intentions. I will assume full responsibility when stuff goes wrong and share the rewards when stuff goes right. It’s in my DNA code lol.

    Bossing is not leadership. Leadership is finding out what the people you are leading want, and helping them to reach their goals, while they help you. It’s getting people to voluntarily follow your vision, and more importantly serving the people you lead. It’s also knowing when to defer to Mrs. Serious when it’s something she’s good at.

    I hope that in next Tuesday’s election, I will get your vote. Wait…lol

That is why I asked what Comeback meant by lead. A lot of women want a dude to lead at no cost to them.

    I think people ignore the red flags a lot…. especially when sex becomes part of the equation… you start making a lot of excuses for the person’s behavior. Instead of halting the ride and jumping off.

    Nicki, absolutely and I think there are some things the men wish we would shout around the world. Some of the things that men and women are doing to each other or are letting happen to themselves based on not knowing their worth is ridiculous and I know because it has happened to me.

    Ok my turn to ask a question.

    You found out your Ex had a baby with his new wife. Now yall don’t speak much but not nessesarily on bad terms that you know of, so you say wow thats great can i come see the baby (assuming your only thinking of the precious new bundle of joy and how great you think new babies are) and he says no I will send u a picture…..

    is that rude to want to see someone you cared abouts at one point in time FIRST baby?

    someone told me its disrespectful to the wife, and i can’t figure out why? You have your ring, you have your baby, your man and if you are jealous of me at ALL thats kinda silly……

    I understand about keeping the peace and all in your house but do women really get that trippy?

    It’s not jealousy or “trippy” – it is disrespectful. Ya’ll used to sleep together…had an intimate relationship. You don’t even speak that often now, so it’s not like ya’ll turned out to be best friends after it all. If you were a significant friend you would have been there and met the wife before she became his wife. You woulda been invited to the wedding, the baby shower, something. Imagine you have to be face to face with a woman that used to sleep with your man – I don’t care how long ago it was. I would be thinking, ya’ll are exes, don’t have any ties to each other, why are you even still in each other’s life?

  81. why so serious?

    Mikki – I’m with everyone else. Leave this one alone. All you’ll do is stir up some ish during a time that’s supposed to be happy. Plus this woman just had a child, her emotions are all off kilter – you never know what could happen.

    And YES, when you get married the mingling with the exes must stop! Marriage is hard enough without the unecessary outside influences.

Other than one woman I dealt with I don’t talk to and don’t want to talk to any of them. Even my ex I dont talk to and I was with her for 5yrs. Once you leave me alone or we agree to leave each other alone I take it as that.

    I am not yet what you would call a regular on this iste but I hope first statement of some men having sense meant me and my readers.

    The crazy thing is in most aspects of the black diaspora, the woman runs the show. Now alot of times the male makes final confirmation but it is the women that puts out the agenda. Which is a position of strength. I believe in most cases women mature earlier than men, but mainly because women are looking for something that most young men are not, Love. So men do things until that time in their life hits them, which varies.

    But don’t get it twisted, there are plenty of women like this too. You see her at work/campus, then at the club, then in church, wtf!!! But was on every dudes “Hello” when she was out. I’m just saying, it goes both ways.

    Welcome J and all your McFly peeps..if i may hit dat @zz wit a wet blanket.

    Your statement reaks of men who aren’t sure or who don’t know how to lead. And did you just say the BLACK DIASPORA???? thats a lot of dam#n black people in the world. I say that what made women lead was the necessity in having too. I blame some of the white yaya’s (who later got married in the 90s) leaving a lot of black women with a revolution that had other agendas and didn’t belong to them.

    the only thing Black women got from that was free love. I think most of us learned by being bi-products of some of this craziness that NOTHING IS FREE.

    And see that’s the problem that I’m having now… Me and my ex were pretty much together for about 6 years… We went our seperate ways but yet I still care about this man. Not to the point I want to be with him but genuinely concerned about his well being. I can’t just cut somebody off who I used to care a great deal about…. So I emailed him a few weeks ago to see how everything was going and initially he was tryin’ to get me to come visit him… But then he comes clean and says that he’s engaged and has a baby on the way… I knew he was in a relationship but I didn’t know how serious it was…… But now since I know that he’s engaged I told him that he can’t call me anymore… But does that stop him. No. I told him that we should probably just stick to being email buddies every now and then……. And he even goes as far to say he wish that he could invite me to the baby shower and my response was shut the hell up…… But I’m curious to see how this is gonna go because in no way would I ever intentionally disrespect his fiance but it’s still kind of like I still do genuinely care for this man because we were sooo close and I do enjoy talking to him. But am I wrong for answering the phone or still responding to his emails when I’m not the one who’s out of order?

    as a leader, a man should know your strengths, and make sure you have the right details taken care of. But if you aren’t sure, take care of what you know is right. If you’re getting stressed out over any detail, it’s probably too small.

This doesn’t happen to me in most cases cause if you aren’t my man then I can do as I please and you can too. Although I did have that one guy this summer who sex was so good it had me tripping for about 3 weeks…lol.

    I do have a few close friends who allow men who they won’t have a committed relationship with dictate their relationship, while he is off doing his thing. So it’s up to the women to get their mind together and set her own rules.

    Yes 80’s.. sadly enough, people are only going to do what we allow them to… Because you keep answering and something is pulling him to you, he’s going to keep calling… fact is, he’s engaged now. He has to move on. Since he’s not strong enough, you have to cut the string.

    I think you should have realized it wasn’t messed up as you thought it was when you were with them. Or shortly after you stop dealing with them. I’ll give that to you when you are young but when you are an older man/woman and have kids you should see that. I’ve seen women trying to get back with good dudes after they put them through hell.

    @ 80’s Baby: I am in a similar situation. My ex of 6yrs is still my best friend and we still talk. But if he gets engaged to the chick he is with now and have a baby on the way, I would have to stop talking to him. In some way you still have feelings for your ex… I think. But I just think you will end really hurt if you continue to talk to him now that is in another relationship that is so serious.

    The fact that he continues to talk to you despite his situation makes me wonder.

    “@nickisunshine
    “I think the opposite!”

    I think men are more equipped to push emotions to the back of their minds, which causes them not to have to deal with any of it… Break up? Stay longer at work or find a new woman. Men seem to focus on only one thing at a time.

    With women, or most (I tend to keep a stone face) emotions are involved in every decision, from picking drapes to your relationships.

(since we live for examples around here) if I make a joke about having a gap in my teeth and my brother goes “it’s good!”, i’d say shaddup and laugh it off – but, that’s my bro – it’s a zing!

    October 29, 2008 | 12:47 pm

    @ Comeback

    I was always the friend who never really opened up and kept everything inside. Until I met him. So I know that was the reason that he was in my life because he helped open me up instead of keeping it all inside. But with him we talked about everything. And when we started gettin’ to know each other I was virgin and it took some years before I even decided to have sex with him.. So we would spend our time together talkin’ and openin up….So that’s how we even became intertwined in this good friends fuzzy area that we’re in now.

    Hello Ejam! Welcome to the treehouse…

    And I am so glad that I am not the only female left that wants her husband to be the head of the household… I dont know that i agree that the traditional roles of who earns the (most)money really matter but when I do get ready to settle down and get married I want to marry a man who wants to take care of his household and has the same thought-frame as myself with regards to (gender)roles in the home.

    i agree. For some men its just NOT in them. HNIC summed it best. He had a reversed domestic situation. And women need to know that fully going in. Don’t pretend to be Paul Bunion and your @zz is just Famous Amos and you just wanna bake cookies all day. Know your role and know your partner.

    @ Comeback:@ 80s and Ms. Dev..why do you need to be BEST friends with an ex. I mean i dont mind getting calls or whatever, merry christmas, how’s your mom stuff like that ..but BEST FRIENDS??

    We have been friends since I was 13yrs. Although I relationship ended our friendship is still solid. We didn’t talk for almost a year after we broke up. But we were able to regain our friendship after we got over those emotions. Most guys don’t really know this fact about me. I don’t usually tell them. The guy I really liked I told him about it. I’m sure he feels some type of way about it. But if we get in a serious relationship then I will deal with it then. Other than that me and my ex are still good friends.

    on a basic level…i honestly hope not. although why is being funny on item 1..2 and 3 should be somewhere in there. I would hope most women would want an optimistic man. That delves into a million other attributes. I honestly think there should be a little uniformity to most people’s list. Esp. if you are attracting a GOD fearing one.

    Ms Dev, I think the basics of what a good man is, should be universal and NOT different for every person.

    I think woman as a whole want the same things, the DIFFERENCE is what we want and what we actually accept.

    One of my friends thinks its ok to shack up and not be married, and I don’t. Does she WANT to be married?? She used to want to until someone told her it wasn’t a big deal

    and now she walks around saying whats the big deal…….

    If you compromised something you wanted in order to make something work, thats ok just be real about it, dont try to justify it.

    October 29, 2008 | 4:35 pm

    @ Comeback: That’s fair, I get your point. I agree there are just some basic general attributes that most people want.

    I think we saw the uniformity you speak of in the post you did about” Santa is going to bring me a man”
    Once everyone complete their list, it covered pretty much what we all wanted in a mate. I guess the questions are very similar.

    I wonder why everyone is so focus on a man/woman. I would like to pose this question… If the man/woman you wanted came into your life today, are you ready for a committed relationship? Have you handle your baggage and issues to be able to have a healthy relationship?

  286. mikki AKA AnitraClark

    @ Ms. Dev

    I don’t think you come all the way ready. I think you get close to it. I also don’t think i would want to completely settle down tomorrow. Another lie men try to tell women in their early to mid 30s is that they are running out of time. I never felt like this. Certainly i dont have 20 years. but i refuse to let my biological clock dictate shyt to me. REFUSE.

    so i wait and get my shyt straight. And yeah lists are lists. Mine was very detailed because i get into details as a writer. But generally i was asking for the universals: Good positive thought, clean plate, healthy ties to family, his own man, a leader…

    most if not all this things are biblical.

  288. Ms.Devereaux
    October 29, 2008 | 4:42 pm

    Well if you want the general things, then I agree it would be pretty universal. Especially from what I saw from the Santa post you did. Why does this need to be revisited again then?

  292. Ms.Devereaux
    October 29, 2008 | 4:49 pm

    I’m not concerned about a good man coming into my life. I have trusted God through the hell and the good times of my life. He knows my heart and what his will is for me. So until he brings the man to me I just keep it moving. I really get tired of women talking about men this and men that. Get yourself together, trust the Lord to provide your needs, know what you will and will not tolerate, and keep it moving. It’s really that simple.

    So it happens from the inside out? Hmmm. Welp. Everything I thought was right has been flipped upside down lol. Can I borrow like 9 or 10 years from your life?

    I wouldn’t be ready if mrs. perfect came in my life. Then again, are we ever fully ready for anything? (i wonder how our next president, Mr. Barack Obama feels right now) I think more important than the actual ability is the foresight to recognize the potential of the situation and step into the challenge. There comes a time where we have to step up, and man/woman up.

    yeah but faith without ACTIVE works is dead. you cant wait on the Lord for a man and you co-sign and participate in the very behavior that would drive a good one away. Im not trying to be overly personal and come at you…but having an ex as a BEST FRIEND is a problem (past issues or not).

    Sometimes men can smell stuff like this a mile away, sending the man that God sent to exit stage left. God is great..but he also gives us choices.

    Beyond that I think a lot of women are out there searching for a good man, but they don’t ever realize that they need to fix things within their own selves and hearts for this man to uncover you as his diamond.

    October 29, 2008 | 5:07 pm

    @ Comeback:but having an ex as a BEST FRIEND is a problem (past issues or not)…I was waiting for you to bring that up again.

    Men can smell certain things out. This is true. The men I have dealt with sense my ex haven’t been anyone I would date. I really like the guy back home, which is why I was honest with about it and prepared for how he might have felt towards it. Now could this slow up his pursuit towards me, well yes it can. But there is also some history there between us. Other than him no other guy has known about it. I don’t speak about it, because I didn’t care how they felt, because it wasn’t that serious to me.

    God definitely gives us choices, and I am very clear on the choices I make. What would make a man think I am still talking to my ex if I never mention him? God hasn’t sent the right man yet.

    What is your issue with me talking to my ex?

    Some would say that’s the problem and it’s why I’m single…of course I would disagree. I don’t know, it just shouldn’t this hard or deep. It is what it is…you should be going with the flow anyways, free-falling and letting your guard down, and throwing away all these damn lists and expectations is the only way to really have a healthy relationships.

    “What is your issue with me talking to my ex?

    LOL..Ms Dev, im sitting over here just off of a call..hadnt had lunch..hungry as hell. The only issue i have right now is eating ….

    anyway though for me. And this is just my pesonal opinion. Take or leave it. this the ex thing is a problem. I think its fine to nice to him. Even take his calls every now and again. but BEST FRIENDS. He’s probably sharing things with you that he should be sharing with his GF/wife. Maybe i could kinda see the connection if you didn’t share a romantic past. Maybe if he was your next door neighbor since like birth. You were practically raised together etc. etc.

    but i personally feel like to many lines are being crossed. Just think if you were the GF. Wouldn’t you be pissed? how do you step in and love somebody and be a girlfriend with someone whose shared a past. Ms. Dev you can share a past with your man..it just takes time…karmically i would feel a certain way about it. He’s plate aint clean. You running around still with feelings for him. And the GF perceives the door being cracked with your foot in it.

    shoe on the other foot. I wouldn’t want that.

    i guess since he really needs to be your best friend. I would be really trying to make the GF feel good about the relationship. I would include her in everything. Call her maybe to just speak to her. Invite them over (but YOU need a man for this to really work)…the later part of this still doesn’t feel right to me. but if you insist..she needs to feel comfortable because YOUR own future karmic stuff is tied to some of this.

    my opinion. im hungry and im out. lol

    @ Holly: Im not moderating others on purpose. When it occurs its because of some default link rule etc or it goes to spam for whatever reason. And I “un-mod or unspam the comment”. people are free to say and think what they want. Tell me to go to hell whatever.

    My thing is that you don’t have to be “Tiara” to do this. coupled with the high highs and the low lows…it just isn’t what i want this place to be. So until this person can steady her mindframe…HER COMMENTS (only) will get mod’ed when i deem some of the above occurs.

    @ Jac please read my reply to Holly. Im not doing last friday over again. NO ONE but the person in question is in moderation. There are times when people’s comments go to spam and i immediately remove.

    her’s will stay when i feel as if she is coming off of an assumed name on another site and only here to reck shop.

    I don’t fully understand…I don’t really think anybody wants to wreck shop over here…I simply think some people disagree with some general premises. It happens, but again this is just my interpretation of the situation….

    “Where’s whyso with the W on his chest when you really need him?

    If he can shine some “w” light on the situation..I’ll gladly hear it. I dont appreciate what happened over at SBM’s house and then here last Friday. She can certainly say whatever she wants…but all disagreement does not come from a healthy place. And she is not banned. Some of what i think is not healthy is being “cooled off”.

    @Comeback: This is interesting. I felt the same way, that my private stuff being put on blast and affecting everyone else, but when I moderated or blovked individuals, but I remember you being up in arms about it and calling me a blog Nazi.

    I even remember you asking for your “nemesis” being blocked, then you asking me to unblock him, then you asking for him to be blocked again.

    It just strikes me as odd that your doing the same things you “chastized” me for. Aint there a word for that, rhymes with diporitical …

    ***FROM THE COMEBACK GIRL..SBM, your girl is NOT blocked. Her comments are in moderation. And Hasani was not first blocked at my request. And the difference… he and I have NEVER been romatically linked. When he got out of hand it had nothing to do with anything stupid, romantic and personal. I asked him unblocked ONCE because he had come on under 5 different names. Might as well let him say his peace. But again your ex is in moderation big difference. I don’t want Friday to happen again. Again its not fair to anyone to have to filter through that bullshyt. Seriously one or both of you need to talk to someone professionally. ***

    @Comeback: No need to mangle my comments. I’ve always felt that a persons words are kind of special. you can always just write another comment. Don’t worry … I’ll read it.

    You and Hasani had some behind the scenes conversations that ended up splilling over into fights on my site. He was always bad, but if you wanna talk about projection he definitely channeled his anger for you towards some of the innocent women at my spot, but its water under the bridge.

    I guess its just funny that all of the things I did to try and “keep the peace”, and you were oh so critical on me for … your doing now yourself.

    And putting all of someones comments in moderation is blocking someone. And its not who you blocked, its the fact that your blocking people.

    Diporitical …

    <strong>**FROM THE COMEBACK GIRL** This is my last comment to you. I gave Hasani my number after he worried me about it on your blog and myspace. When we talked I was floored at how non-confrontational he was, after addressing me VERY disrespectfully on your blog.

    The back and forth had nothing to do with that conversation that he has had with almost EVERY WOMAN on your blog. And even though Hasani worries the be-jesus out of me at times, i don;t project. And I would prefer it not happen here. If somebody has a problem with my opinioin seperate that from the disdain that you have about your own life or even the partial one you have for me on Mondays, Weds, and Fri’s…given whatever personality you might have.

    ” If he’s not cut out to be the head of the household, a woman should think twice before saying “I do.”

    Whats the overwhelming quality that would stand out on several dates that would say this man is “HOH material”?

    Also, ladies shacking up aint working for yall . Every guy I know that doest it, its her place-so he plays her while living in her place. Whats the fascination with shacking up?

    I’m alone now and I love it glad I told shorty at 26 “no” , I work in film my hours are wild and I work around tons of models,video girl, actresses and the lots of the “bosses” in film are women. I cant have some 27 yr old with a degree gettin jealous. She need to shut up.

    To get my film degree I worked for ten yrs in the lousiest jobs with no bennies, that means I paid out ofmy pocekt for my glasses, HIV test-teet pulled. So if she thought the way I acted in school (couldnt go out much read as: easy to control or satisfiy) was me she’s wrong. When in school I adjusted, I was working barely 40hrs on $8.50 an hours, so my life reflected that, now out I am chasing my dream. And I was treated by the ladies as some sort of charity case..course now I am a “catch”.

    You think I am buggin

    Check:

    Some chick up here choose a Dude whose attributes were an “f-the world tat and grills” another shorty said she moved in with her BF “no pots and pans” and his bathroom was sans shower curtain.

    Now I wouldnt expect the ho’est of ho’s to drop draws if that was my pad. BUT SHE MOVED IN WITH HIM…what gives ladies can a Black Man get some truth here?

More importantly the weekend starts for me on a Friday at 4:55pm EDT. And some of the hardest dam@n questions are starting to come in between that time and right into Sunday night.

    I read this i think late Saturday night and have been contemplating…

    my required HOH trait that i have really been going back to over and over since starting to contemplate is a requirement for good decision making abilities.

    I dont want a man that every time i ask him something he says “whatever you want.” yeah whatever I want is great but when we are making family/house hold decisions he needs to be able to make a decision on what he thinks will be best for himself and for our household.

    That’s what I have come up with so far for you Temps.. i will keep thinkin.

    @ Temps

    “Whats the overwhelming quality that would stand out on several dates that would say this man is “HOH material”?”

    ***i’m bout to tackle this..stand back***

    For me its his ability to take charge, NOT BOSS ME AROUND. If on the second or third date..i come out with a list of crazy things for us to do that day…he should be able to synergize..make suggestions and logistically make it do what it do. Sometimes I get wrapped up TOO much in detail…a HOH type man (hey this sounds like a post-maybe I’ll hit this on Wednesday) should be able to navigate this and make it HAPPEN with ease.

    Also again, Im looking for good vision and life goal talk too. Ive been on dates where they are SOOOO defeated by everything. This is not a good look in HOH territory.

    your testimonal examples are just wack women…who are blinded by a little di!ck..in my opinion you can’t husband (ie shack up with) riff raff.

    “your testimonal examples are just wack women…who are blinded by a little di!ck..in my opinion you can’t husband (ie shack up with) riff raff.”

    thank you Comeback Girl!!!!

    And there must be tons of women in this boat…they are the ones claiming their man said he he was going to “do this and that”… NO HE DIDNT.

    She fell in love with his sex and then maybe brought him a shirt (Pygmalion effect here) and boom she thought she was in she wasnt even close….

    And I will say theres a lot of this going on.
    My boy stay baggin women-good looking professional degreed up ladies with boyfrineds.

    They got a man yet why are they lettin son get the math and is some cases the a$$?

    For me I tend to bag the shorty that just got out of something-I mean I cant say for sure they are single but these chicks my dude bags are openly stating they are in relationships. But heres my opinion on the matter.

    I am not shocked. Women ARE doing what some men have done and still do. So I dont want to hear cheating or shacking up or any other dumb stuff that happens as if its exclusive to male behavior. These women are NOT the project ho’s or ditzty chicks with one too many tattoos, some go to church almost all of em got degree and the majority dont have kids…see a pattern?

    With no anchor or assumed roles some women do dumb ish and stay doing sumb ish becuase they are I dont know HUMAN. So I am tired of the non sense that some of you womenly openly contribute to. Damn, like my moms said if you love him tonight -have sex then go back to your crib…it aint that serious.
