Judging by the wrong cover

It’s not right, but apparently it’s common practice. Now, it’s the latest dating game: The “Is he gay, straight, or taken” game, that is. According to the good folks at Lifetime Television for Women, it’s the dating game women already play.

The premise of the show is that three guys challenge the female contestant to “read” their behavior to determine their status. Through a series of questions and conversations, the woman is to pick a guy who she feels is straight and available. If she chooses correctly, she wins a trip for her and the guy, if she is wrong, the gay or taken guy wins the trip instead.

The premise of the show may or may not have any deep social message, but it’s interesting to see how the show considers the so-called mystery of single men’s behavior and/or image. It seems to me that stereotypes come into play about men and masculinity here.

Is this a dilemma that single women really face in dating?

Guys, have you noticed women deciphering your behavior, image, or mannerisms to determine your eligibility status?

Do you face challenges as single men when it comes to perception? Do you ever worry if your image is perceived differently than what you want to project?

Ladies, is it true that we try to determine a guy’s status in this way? Do you outright ask a guy if he is gay, straight, or taken? Do you think men use similar techniques to find out if you are gay, single, or taken?

Isn’t it slightly mean and unfair to stereotype dates and scrutinize everything about them so harshly? All of us are unique individuals that don’t always fit into neat little boxes. I wonder what men judge about me when they first meet me?

How do you think you are perceived on the dating scene? Is image really everything?

Morning bloggers

I wouldn’t use such a strong word as ‘dilemma’ to describe single women dealing with fellas possibly being gay. However, we can’t dance around the fact that Atlanta has a large gay population. As times have changed I have become more aware of gay society and have found myself on more than one occasion trying to decipher via mannerisms/behavior whether or not a guy was gay. I have never out right asked a guy if he was gay but i may jokingly say something to measure what his reaction is. I think its more accepted to have a guy ask a women if she likes women than it is to ask a man if he likes guys. You mess around and ask the wrong guy, there’s no telling what he would do, because he feels offended that you would even question it.

Good Morning

Do you outright ask a guy if he is gay, straight, or taken? Do you think men use similar techniques to find out if you are gay, single, or taken?

It depends on what type of relationship we have…if we have just met and there is no chance we will be seeing each other after this encounter then no I wouldn’t ask him if he was gay or straight. However, if we are seeing each other with the intent to become intimate…then I asked him if has ever had sex with a man…I have learned through the years that there are some men who may have experimented in college and or jail, but they don’t consider themselves gay.

I come straight out and ask a man if he is married or in a relationship… some time they are honest about it, but other times they are not. I started doing this after I was dating a guy for about 3 months and found out he was married with children..I dropped kicked him to the curb without an explanation…I could not believe that he would lie to me (Omission is a lie). He never told me he had a wife or any children.

How do you think you are perceived on the dating scene? Is image really everything?

A lot of men think I am mean…so they are afraid to approach me. Yes, I think to men image is everything. To me looks are not the most important thing…I do have to be able to look at you in the morning!!

Predetermining the status of a possible interest can save you a lot of time and headache. Although it is unfair to an extent it is somewhat necessary in the day we live in. People are so dishonest now. Everyone wants their cake and to eat it to. It is evident that more women are finding themselves mixed up with a DL (DL is gay) or unknowingly with someone else’s spouse. The problem is there in no real formula or test to accurately determine someone’s status, so we take our chances. It would be ideal if one actually existed.

When you are out scaling the dating scene there is no surefire way to know who has strumming your magnetism strings. Singles today are faced with the heterosexual, homosexual, ubersexual (or metro), asexual, pomosexual, bisexual, pansexual, and the autosexual. What is a person to do, LOL?

WiseD I know you weren’t going that deep but this is something my friend Lacy talks about constantly. She made mention of the show just Saturday.

Happy Hump Day!!!!

I have no problem asking a man if he is gay, has ever had relations with a man, or anything similar….you have to be specific these days because not all men that have had relations with a man considers himself gay…WTF?? lol On the same note, I am not offended if a man asked me if I am gay. (I’ve actually had it happen because when I tell some men that I am single, they are like “WHAT?, You don’t have a man? Do you have a girl?” I simply laugh and say, “HELLZ NO!!!!, can’t an attractive woman be single?” Or I’ll jokingly say, “You know it’s hard to find a good man these days, you know how y’all are!!”. That usually gets a good laugh from them as well.

As far as reading a persons body language, we do that (male & female) to determine a number of things, including the level of interest. So I don’t really see it as “stereotyping” until you begin to try and label a person…..and then maybe sometimes it is necessary considering that person could be on the DL, or just crazy, or on drugs, etc. Mean or unfair…well, maybe, but such is life!!!

One of my best friends is gay and most times when she comes into town she likes to hang out at…you guessed it…gay spots. So, I have gone with her on many occasion which are normally just girls. Now not too long ago we went to a different spot that catered more to the gay men. I was so devastated and depressed after I left that place. I mean, I saw SOOOOO many guys that looked straight and/or masculine as a board that were embracing other men!!! I guess because most of the time we were in the female spots it never bothered me, but seeing all those guys that I would probably be attracted to REALLY FREAKED ME OUT! For about a week I didn’t call anyone, I didn’t go anywhere other than work, I was honestly shocked, appalled and sad. It was something I just wasnt prepared to see. But you best believe while i was there, I tried my dayumnest to look at and remember any faces of the guys that would possibly be DL brothers!

I think I will just lurk on this one. I have never been asked if I was gay by a woman (usually dispell that myth real quickly by actions anyway, not by words) and seldom been asked if I was married/single. Women do usually drill me on ‘recent’ relationships, just to see if I am just serial dating or sneaking out on the sly since I almost never date more than one lady at a time, but that is usually not an issue for very long.

Good morning all.

Yes, on the dating scene I am concerned whether a person is gay, single or taken. First, I don’t deal with men that are not single or currently unavailable(taken/in a relationship). The gay ‘bucket’ is a tough one for single women because it rests on a man telling you the truth about his sexuality. There are plenty of men out here that do have intimate relations with men, but they do not consider themselves gay. That’s scary. It’s not always the metrosexual man that is the “gay” one. It’s your thug, too. In the final analysis, I think you have to follow your gut and be very perceptive. Being gay or having tendencies which orient you as a man to other men while actively seeking out relationships with women is called deception. Nuff said. Be careful out there…there are alot of folks that lack honesty and integrity.

I’ll check in later. Have a great day all:-)

Good morning Everyone!

I have two primary questions: (1) Are you married? (2) Are you on the DL? Of course his answer to both questions is no. However, I listened to his body talk as well as what is coming out of his mouth. Not leaving him too much time to respond, I unapologetically state my case: “Well if you are, please move on. There are plenty of women who will date a married man. Do not try to trap me in that drama. And if you are on the DL, I am not here to judge you. But I do not want to be a part of it.”

Stereotyping is unfair, to a degree. However, self-preservation calls for this, at least on some level. I would call it my instinct. Whenever I listen, my instinct has never steered me wrong. Honesty is not the best policy anymore for most people. Society has departmentalized integrity. People tell “good” lies, “little” lies, lies of omission. IMO, this is a selfish way to relieve themselves of guilt.

Ubersexual…a male who is similar to a metrosexual but displays the traditional manly qualities such as confidence, strength, and class - leaving no doubt as to his sexual orientation

asexual….a person who is not interested in or does not desire sexual activity, either within or outside of a relationship.

Pomosexuals..(postmodernism sexuals) are individuals who challenge assumptions about gender and sexuality.

pansexual….A group which is open to members of all sexual orientations or gender identities including straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual, or transvestite.

autosexual….sexual orientation toward oneself; that is, preferring self-gratification over other forms of sexual activity.

Greeting folks!

I have been to Japan,Africa,Sweden and now back to the ATL and I tell ya, there is no place like home!

On the subject, I find that many women eliminate many men for a variety of reasons, based on what they initially see(i.e. his dress, a certain behavior,height,etc),without simply being open minded to the possibilities and just meeting and interacting with these guys and learning more about what makes them who they are.Let’s face it, when you eliminate, based on height requirements, etc. what do you really have to choose from? And you wonder then why are you single???

Dating and selecting a mate should be based on obtaining the best qualities in a mate,that best compliment you and your lifestyle vs. all the cosmetics,height requirements and material trappings.

Example: If I was a woman, I would say let me position myself to meet a man who is successful in his own right,demonstrates responsible behavior,supports his woman,family oriented, goal oriented and has a plan for our future!

Notice height is not mentioned,notice where he works is not in the mix, notice his physical is not in there and a few others common mentions are not mentioned, because these should be options and not requirements!

I have been prejudged many times by women, including twice this week. The sad thing about this is that the woman “often” looses out on meeting a great man vs. that man missing out on meeting a great woman, because there is no shortage of quality women in this city.

Prejudging is something we all do, but to a woman I believe is designed as a safeguard, but in all actuality, it is preventing to you from expanding your rainbow of potential mates.

Raqi There might not be a formula in determining someone’s status, but a man gives me cause for pause if he can only be reached during the day and early evening (before 9pm).

DL Tendencies:

You are at a restaurant, engaged in an interesting conversation. A man walks past your table and his eyes follow him, rather than pay attention to the fabulous point you just made.

He overcompensates on gay bashing statements.

He realizes his wrist is bent the wrong way, and glances at you quickly, wondering if you noticed.

  • Ubersexual (or metro) = Your prissy narcissistic man

  • Asexual = A person not interested in a sexual relationship by no means.

  • Pomosexual = A person who refuses to be labeled as anything as far as their sexual preference is concerned.

  • Bisexual = Confused. Gets the same pleasure doing men and/or women.

  • Pansexual = IMO another word for bisexual.

  • Transsexual = Transvies. Thinks God made a mistake and put them in the wrong body.

  • Autosexual = Someone in love with their own body. Don’t prefer male or female, just their own freaking self.

    Good Morning All

    Do you outright ask a guy if he is gay, straight, or taken? Yes, and I don’t wait a long time to do it either. If you are married, you can’t do anything for me but go home to ya wifey. Same thing if you are taken….. go home and keep her happy!

    Do you think men use similar techniques to find out if you are gay, single, or taken? I think men wonder without asking until they find out how open you are willing to talk with them and on what level. I have been asked that question by more women (trying to hit on me) than men.

    Isn’t it slightly mean and unfair to stereotype dates and scrutinize everything about them so harshly? Not at all, you have to look out for yourself first and foremost. In this day and age, you can’t depend on the next person to tell you the truth everytime, in fact you almost have to expect a lie from time to time because, it will eventually be right in your face.**

    All of us are unique individuals that don’t always fit into neat little boxes. I wonder what men judge about me when they first meet me? I have often wondered this too, I think that it depends on what environment I am in when a guy first sees me. I think initially my mean muggin with bright eyes throws them for a loop, then the ones who dare to venture over to me end up seeing my big bright smile and wondering why I was mean mugging… It’s a natural defense mechanism, to keep the riff-raff out of my face.

    How do you think you are perceived on the dating scene? I am a laid back person, so when I go out with a guy, I’m usually in let’s have a good time, good conversation, and a few laughs mode. I may be on my way to becoming a serial dater. Is image really everything? Image is 2 things 1) Image is how you carry yourself for the world to see you, and judge you. and 2) Image is an opinion that another person has of you based onhow they perceive that you carry yourself.

I not saying it doesn’t exist, but brace yourself (it has been fed to you through the mainstream media, it is another attempt to assassinate the character of black men, and it is working) Truthfully, we live in a city that is very accepting of alternative lifestyles, but I’m reading your posts and ya’ll talkin like its 6 out of 10 or somethin. Now, any guy who is that way needs his Azz Whupped, but he is no more dangerous than a dude who doesn’t strap up with a variety of women, at-risk behavior is at-risk behavior. Real talk

    As for the perceptions, you determine that through your actions. I am a breath of fresh air, somethin like a dream, Cooler than a Polar Bear’s toenails…Oh yea I’m laid back and humble…..HEHEHEHE

    Besides relationship/marriage status and sexual orientation, I think it is also necessary to know a person’s health condition. A close friend of mine adamantly advises me of this. She has been married for nearly three years. A year into her marriage, she found out her husband has health issues he did not disclose prior to marriage. Yesterday, someone mentioned being caught off guard by a man in a wheelchair. . Casual dating may call for different rules. But if the two of you are pursuing an exclusive relationship, don’t deny a person’s right to make their own decisions. Withholding information says that you have some self-acceptance issues, in my humble opinion.

And her hard shell attorney act shows even when off duty. Because of this she has been perceived as being gay.

    Jake Brotha, you bring up a good point. The Media (news reports, books, people who don’t know ishh) want to contribute the growing AIDS epidemic to the DL lifestyle. The powers that be want to distract us from the real and more likely cause of our problems so that we don’t perceive the more immediate threat. While the DL does contribute their share, the truth is HIV/AIDS are spread by m/f’s that are out there just humping away without regard for their health or the health of others. But lets not get into this discussion today.

    I know there CAN be exceptions (but I personally believe dayum few), but I do not think a man can truly be bisexual. To me, a ‘so-called’ bisexual man is just gay in denial. Men, I don’t think, ‘experiment’ in college or elsewhere. They are either straight or gay (or pedophiles, which are the most dangerous of all).

    Women, I do believe, often do have a streak of ‘bi’ in them, or at least more than men. I have known several who were primarily ‘hetero’ but ‘bi-curious’.

    Regarding gay ladies, I have hit on one or two not knowing, but have usually been put in my place relatively painlessly (all were great looking, which is rare, and used to men not realizing). One of them became a great friend of mine (but I never stopped thinking of…).

But in having many male friends, I’ve come to find out that some guys are actually not as interested in that as I originally thought. I wonder if it has anything to do with the man’s fear that in the midst of it going down, that the two women will forget about lil ole him.

    Good Morning All,

    I ask first about you as a person if you are someone I want to know further, then I ask single, married, gay, straight etc..period.

    Prejudging is something we all do, but to a woman I believe is designed as a safeguard, but in all actuality, it is preventing to you from expanding your rainbow of potential mates.

    SoLL if women prejude as a safeguard then why do men prejudge? Because in your example the same can be said for me. She is too dark, she is too light, she has no butt, she has too much. How often do men really go about the process of meeting a woman to really know her and not her favorite sexual positions?

    Dr KYM Good point, i would like to add that most in this blog might agree when you meet a person you like them for what you see…then you have some dates, then find out things as they come…i think we can agree if you see someone and you don’t even like the way that person looks you won’t even put forth an effort to get to know them, hell you might not even talk to them Exp. you are approached by someone and your first instinct is that this person is ugly or you don’t like the way they appear (in dress) you will probabaly blow that person off.

And for years men have done what they can to close that gap — excessive weightlifting, muscle cars, that thing Hammer had in his pants on the Pumps and a Bump video — but to what end? To remain scrutinized. It’s a reality in dating that we all must continue to live with.

    And since you wanted to know what people think about you… I’m kidding.

    @SlimOne

    There really are hetero men not interested in a threesome? Nahhhh, can’t be. If a guy would lie about that, he might lie about other things too. LOLOLOLOL. I can’t speak for the rest of the male gender, but for me, nope I would not worry at all about being left out (the worst that could happen is it would be fun to watch, and anything from there is wonderful OR BETTER).

    By the way, you did not ask if I have ever explored this…well the answer is…you will never know unless you were there.

    @Dr. Kym Men don’t put all the stipulations on meeting women as women put on men. A man’s only stipulation is that if it looks good, we will holla! If we are on a road trip,we will holla at a 6 in some cases.

    I have never heard a man say “I aint gonna talk to that female cause she is “5-2”! I aint never heard a man say “I aint gonna talk to that female cause she has no car”

    My question is this, if the average height of a man in the U.S. is 5-10, how every chick out there gonna marry a dude 6-0 and over??? And why is that more important and than who is as a man!

    Height is a “option” not a requirement to having a productive relationship!

    Good morning Hey Foots WOW this topic is the heading of one of my many horror stories in the dating life. Here it goes, I met a guy online we talked for about 2 weeks either on the phone or chatting via email/IM. I asked him to send me a picture which he said he didn’t have any, but will take some and send them to me, well it never came. Anyway we made arrangements to met at church (but my old faithful instinct crept in) instead we met at a local restaurant. I’m sitting there in great anticipation to met the guy whom had great conversation, great sense of humor and decribed himself as a decent looking man dispite no photo to back him up but looks wasn’t the big issue unless he came in looking like a three claw slough. Oh yeah he makes a good a good living too. There he was walking up to me the closer he got the more I was saying OH NO HE DIDN’T. This man hair was raggy, hair going all down his back, I couldn’t tell where his nap ended and where it began and his lips was so cracked up even blistex ran away and on top of all that he was gay. I was soo p** I wanted to slap him for impresonation and misrepresentation. I should take him to Judge Mathis and sue him for chosing that night to come out of the closet. That night ended early of course> He had the nerve to asked me what do I think about him and I told him flat out I think he is gay of course he denied it and had the nerve to ask me what did he do for me to think that and I narrowed it down to him like this: 1. Female physical jestures, 2. The way he said WELL (flamers always say well and sway their head a certian way and last 3. The waiter kept saying I remember you from somewhere.

    Musing you right, that is for another day, but I had to say it.

    As for prejudging people, everybody is prejudice to some degree. Its human nature to notice differences in people, but for the dating debate. The purpose of all this ish is finding a suitable mate, now if you have thing you feel determine whats suitable, who cares, just know you cut your possibilities down.

    By purplepassion

    January 17, 2007 11:01 AM | Link to this

    LL and SeanJohnson I agree to disagree to what you are saying. Most women don’t put situlations on a man except for him to treat her good and be a good provider. I know what I want and looks is not a big factor. Neatness is a big factor, I can’t be in the company of an unkept man. We can’t fix the world, it is filled with people with all types of dreams and desires when it comes to finding a mate. You just have to know what you don’t want. LL as far as height most men feel insecure when it comes to their height I think that’s where the nepolean complex (I think that’w what it’s called) comes from. I take it that you are a short man and most woman don’t list I want a 5’3 to 5’7 man etc etc on her list but not all women look as height as a set back.

    LL, SJ Point taken. However, there is a difference btw “hollerin’” at a man/woman and entering into a relationship with that person. I think many of the women on the blog would agree that if a nice looking guy approaches, then we’ll often give him a chance to give his pitch…and probably go out with him. It’s a whole different ball game when you start getting to know someone, and bones start falling out of their mouths. I agree with Musing/Jake that the media has probably blown the DL thing up into epic proportions. However, it is a real concern for single women. Chances are, you know a woman who has dated a DL man. It’s scary on many levels.

    Personally, I don’t ask the question about sexuality until I have reason to believe there may be an issue. Perhaps that’s naive, but I am willing to give a brutha the benefit of the doubt. I do want to know if he’s single/married/just out of a relationship. But, that’s b/c I ain’t trying to fight some crazy woman in the parking lot!

    All this threesome talk reminds me of a dude I met a few yrs. ago that wasted very little time in telling me over and over how he and a couple of his boys liked to do a threesome with an attractive female. Now I’m thinking, “Fool, please”….but I also was thinking, “how many straight men really want to be that close to another naked man?”. I quickly came to the conclusion that either this fool is gay (actually on the DL cause he claimed to be straight) or just plain what?, GAY!!! Oh yeah, this was the same fool that lied about his real name…..go figure!!!!

    @Dr. Kym It’s like this…The cosmetics can always change! If I was a woman having the limited options y’all claim you have, I would be more practical in my approach to dating and loose all the stipulations.

    Many women are they own worst enemies, when it comes down to meeting men in general! I have been prejudged, as well as just about every brother on this blog and y’all loose out out, not us!

    I think if you take meeting men on a case by case basis and use a open minded,non-baggage approach,non-judgemental approach and see what that man has to offer, you would be surprised not in all cases, but more than a few!

    With breast and butt size with men, we will still talk to that sistah and there are sistah’s out there, that fall in that category that get dates and get married.

    I got a boy that only dates skinny chicks, been that way his whole life! Look at Hollywood and LA, that is all the dudes want out there!

    It is not their fault, that they are short and their height has no measure on their ability to take care of their business, be responsible and support a good woman, but many times, they never get the chance to show and prove, based on their height!

    Re: *but I also was thinking, “how many straight men really want to be that close to another naked man?”. *

    NOOOO IISSHH!!! I’ll leave that to someone else.

    Several years ago, there used to be a show on Comedy Central about a guy who had gotten a divorce, and I cannot remember the name of it. One night Courtney Cox made a cameo appearance and left him a key to her room in the hotel. Unbeknownst to him, she had given a key to his best friend also. When they run into her in her hotel room, she told them she wanted them both. She looked dayum fine and both wanted her, but the whole rest of the episode was watching the two guys try to deal with being in the same bed together (as far away from each other as possible).

    As for me, uh no, actually helz no!!! It may be downright unfashionable to be straight these days, but I am quite content to like women ONLY.

    I had a female to question my sexual preference once. Initially, it was humorous, but then it became insulting. We were in an intimate moment, but I was still exhausted and drained (literally) from a previous date. During the foreplay with this sista, I sensed my soldier might not want to salute. This was our first sexual encounter and my ability to lay pipe had yet to be established with her. So, instead of embarrassing myself by trying to smash it in soft, I told her I just wanted to hold her and talk. That’s when she asked, if I was gay. She insisted that no heterosexual man could hold her nude body without making love to her. My rebuttal was that she overestimated the value of her vagina. Actually, I’m secretly praying for Johnson to wake his azz up and represent. Long story short, I couldn’t believe she could seriously think I might be a punk. It was funny at first. Then my laughter turned into aggression. I got a few hours sleep, woke up with morning wood, rolled over and punished her, got dressed and left thinking this chick tried me last night.

    I dont see many guys on here saying I met this great lady name Sandra that has 3 kids, no job, a GED, and lives with her sister. I think I will date her and see how it goes.

    No, you are not dating Sandra in your mind and that of your other counterparts in the gallery Sandra is only good for late night creeps in the back of the Save-A-Lot parking garage. An tell me gentlemen why is Sandra not good enough to stand by your side at social functions with clients, or family, I mean after all should you expand your dating out of the box? How do you know Sandra is not a smart woman who made some mistakes and is getting it together?

    My point is please do not get on here with your psycho babble of the perils of women and dating, as if Men have it all figured out, the same patterns in dating that women have so do men.

    What up Blog?? I am new here and I like the convo… Well here are my two cents.. I don’t think that there is a “DL” problem.. i think the problem is women fool themselves when they see a man that floats their boat… the DL should mean “Didn’t Look”… One night I was out eating diner and I walked past a table full of women to look at the deserts… while standing there I heard the ladies say… ooh his is fine & cute, oh his is married, naw no ring he is a playa and finally naw he probably gay. So I went from fine to married to playa to gay in 3mins.

    Well GAMan since you apparently want to in the words of my baby sister“Test my gansta”

    I have dated the gambit in regards to men, short, tall, bald, unemployed, underqualified, and overqualified. I date people who interest me and that I have good conversations with to start. Next my family is nosy as anyone else, but they dont have the stick up their azz mentality because I come for a family of hard working, salt of the earth people, that means my family runs the gambit in regards to education level, jobs trade, etc.

    In other words, if mister man is a janitor that came to a party or social outing with my family, he could talk with anyone there and they wouldnt talk above him, or down to him, or over him. All he has to be is himself. If my aunties or uncles want to know more about him or question his intentions they are coming to me, and if he is not working they will be the first to say well baby there is always work at the post office. The same can be said for my friends.

    @Lurker

    In your previous example you made these statements:

    If I was a woman, I would say let me position myself to meet a man who is successful in his own right,demonstrates responsible behavior,supports his woman,family oriented, goal oriented and has a plan for our future!

    So who is to say the woman Sandra I described is not working toward those goals, remember I said she had admitted mistakes and is working on those mistakes. So does that mean she is undateable. After all didnt you go on to say in that same earlier post that job status, and other physical things are options?

    An please explain to me how dating a woman like Sandra is a moral decision?

    Ok, I think I’m caught up now…

    Keep it real, if two people are strangers the attraction stems from what you initially SEE. It could be their physical attractiveness, how they dress, etc. Then, as you get closer you experience the details. It could be how he smells, how he talks, they way he moves or just that “something” about his swagger that you can’t put your finger on. I like the total package in a man. I’ve met some very handsome brothers who I could not stand once I got to know them better because they were stuck on themselves. I’m sure there are some brothers that can make the same argument about women.

    So, one’s attractiveness may take you in, but it is their inner beauty that will keep you intrigued. That is… if you’re really about pursuing quality people to date. In contrast, if you’re superficial, attractiveness with no content will work for you.

    Anyhoo…Everyone has their own preferences. Those preferences may shrink the pool of potential partners depending on how stringent they are…but that’s a personal choice. For example, I like men that are as tall or taller than me with nice builds. They may not be Tyson Beckford (love the body)or LL(love those lips) calibur, however, if he exudes confidence and he is comfortable in his own skin then he will capture my attention.

    @Dr. Kym I will go on record and say that I would never date or consider a lady like Sandra!

    Even though she has made past mistakes, I am at a point in my life, where I need someone who compliments me and makes good decisions.

    At the mid thirties (where I am am)I am willing to accept certain flaws in an individual and move forward, but Sandra’s track record will affect my bottom line,so I would have to take a pass on her!

    Her situation is like someone who defaulted on a few loans, but has expressed a desire to honor the next loan she is trying to get, despite her past circumstances. If you were Bank of America, would you give her a loan or say go see Title Max?

    9 times outta 10 a persons past behaviors will dictate their future behaviors and I want no part of a person who has no direction.

As long as I can find a woman who is basically all of the good things mentioned above in the blog, and still get one easy on the eyes, then guess which one I’ll take? I am as shallow as the next guy when it comes to looks. I do not feel good about that, but at least I am honest with myself about it. After having said that, my standards may not be as high as some others, do not need real beauty, just do not want serious ugly.

    It would be nice if a woman even tried to determine my eligibility status - for real.

    Apparently, I must be the most visually repugnant man because even though I’m educated, gainfully employed and in shape, I get no play. For a while I though it was the parachute pants, but not even a nibble on the hook when I updated to the 90’s - who knew? Scary enough though, some female friends have called me the “M” word - which totally offended me. (metrosexual for you wondering).

    Seriously, I do worry I don’t project the person I truly am. Because I have no problems meeting friends or being social - so apprently whatever I am doing is not attracting single ladies my age. But all the older ladies I know say they would date me and I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

    It is a little harsh to scrutiize a little too closely, but I think both genders are equal in the regard. I try not to be too harsh myself. But Diva , you really don’t want to know how guys are judging you - you really don’t.

    I will experiment with the image thing and see if I can dress so hot, the women that don’t even bother looking up from their soup at the food court take notice. I’ll let you know.

Sandra wouldn’t be in the right place or time for me bc she is still trying to overcome her mistakes. And since we all come with a “bag”, we have to access if we willing and capable of assuming someone else’s “bag”.

    Randy not to be in you and Musing’s Kool-Aid, but sizes does matter…….. but only for so long (no pun intended). Be it a woman measuring the length and girth of a mans drum stick or a man measuring the circumference of a womans butt, if in the end the size is to our liking but the person is an azz, I think the issue with size will be out weighted PDQ because unless both people are very shallow and conceited, no one will put up with a jackazz too long.

    That is the number one hang-up you guys have in dating! It puzzles most men, because we don’t make it an issue, when dating women. Yeah, we want fine big booty and breast, but we are not going to turn our noses up at a chick that does not quite fit the profile we want/desire like y’all will.

    I know y’all naturally want to feel safe and protected by height, but there is maaaany a dude that is short and will kick some azz a whole lot better than some of the NBA profiles.

    As a tall woman……. speaking with regards to the height of potential SO’s. I can not say that I have NEVER been in a LTR with a man who was shorter than me because I have. What made me accepting of him at his height was “him”, his self confidence, his ability to make me smile, and the level of enjoyment we shared together. Now with that said, I do still prefer a man who is taller than JustMe, but I am no longer going to disregard them altogether (until they start with the corny lines)

    Corny lines to a tall woman

  • We are all the same size lying down.

  • I sure would like to climb you.

  • You look like a tall glass of cold lemonade on a hot sunny day.

  • You are not really taller than me, you just think you are.

  • I have always wanted a tall woman so she can wrap her long legs around me when (fill in the nasty blank).

  • Any of the above and dude is outtahere!

    LL It puzzles most men, because we don’t make it an issue, when dating women.

    The reason why height is not an issue to most men is because on average, most men are taller than women. A lot of men are attracted to “dainty” women. A lot of men refer to women as “shorty” because they are shorter than they are. What would be the issue for men?

    It doesn’t seem like the shorter guys on the blog have any trouble attracting women. Looks like they are doing fine to me…

    LL yeah men don’t make it an issue, they make it a fantasy!

    Foots To some degree education does matter. It would seem highly unlikely that a well educated man or woman would fall for a person who is uneducated. That would make for some strange conversations, the maturity levels may differ, extracuricular activities may differ, lifestyle may differ, beliefs may differ, back grounds may differ etc…. I’m not saying it could never work, but I think it would be the exception to the rule in cases where it did work unless one party was looking for a trophy to parade around and be seen not heard. IMO.

    As for education level…that is not nearly as important as intelligence level. For you see, they don’t always mean the same thing. I know plenty of folks (male & female) with degrees, that can’t communicate verbally or written as intelligently as some without the piece of paper. My daddy used to say, “there’s no worse fool than an educated fool”. I also know quite a few people (male & female) that you would never be able to tell don’t have a college degree unless they told you. So, you see, I really am not concerned with your level of education (you should at least have a high school diploma, though) as much as your level of intelligence. But again, we each have our preferences.

    Foots in terms of education mainly. If a woman has travelled the world and speaks 9 different languages, I seriously doubt that Pookie gonna be her type of man.

    It would not be the first time I’ve done it :-)

    So long as a man can be a man without crying about what the “white man” has taken from him so be it. But when the excuses and the moaning and groaning come into play, I tend to think that the guy is an excuse maker and that he is never (going to be)wrong and that all his shortcomings in life are (going to be) someone else’s fault rather than his own.

    Demi I guess that Bill Gates is a good example. Talk about potential!

    But there are a number of men I know who are intelligent as hellz, well-spoken brothers who did not attend college. Other races too. When I started my career in engineering, most of the white men I worked with had worked their way up to their positions as engineers and managers. They were super bright, but started low and worked up, or received training in the military. It would be different if they were indeed “Pookies”, but having the financial ability and time to attend college does not mean that a person is any more intelligent than someone who didn’t have the opportunity. It’s all relative to me.

    Now to me, being intelligent is not the same thing as being smart. Intelligence is the capacity to learn and understand. Smart is having the knowledge and being able to apply it. I know folks that are one and not the other. I like folks that are both.

    I like men who are taller than me, but I have dated men that are a little shorter. Not too much shorter, not too much taller, or it feels weird when we hug (standing up or laying down). And we are NOT the same height horizontally. You can be face to face laying down, but dude’s feet might only come to your knees. That ain’t cool for me.

    Other looks: He just has to be attractive to me, that includes weight, skin tone, hair, smile, whatever.

    I don’t have a requirement about education level. I need an intelligent man who can carry a conversation with me and have an opinion of his own.

    Same with salary, as long as you are gainfully employed and supporting yourself and don’t owe everybody every dime you make, you cool with me. Anything you bring to the table is appreciated.

    Melo you don’t honestly believe that women choose men based on d/k size, do you? I mean really?! Can someone please hip him to Woman Law #429b-1A5? “…it doesn’t matter how big your SUV is or how blinged out. If you don’t know how to drive it, it will result in a terrible accident!”

    It is a factor in determining how good sex might be…but even the biggest d/ks can’t keep a woman at home if the man attached to it ain’t treating her right.

    I read this blog from time to time and really enjoy it. LL, I think the height issue is not as serious as you are taking it. I am 5’5” and don’t wear very high heels all the time, but when I do, if a dude is shorter that that, he’s really short. That is not a deal breaker with me, but he better come out the gate swinging with the confidence and nice personality quick. You see, I am an equal opportunity dater and I have dated short guys in the past. In fact, when I look over my dating history, 5 out of 7 were shorter or around my height. That is all I seem to attract, for some reason tall dudes don’t approach me much. Well, I liked each for different reasons and their height was not an issue for me. EVERY LAST ONE HAD NAPOLEON COMPLEX, no joke, in varying degrees! As Randy said, with us ladies it is all about the confidence! Do you and do it well and you can have damn near any woman you want, tall or short! One of those guys really hurt my feelings because I was 120lbs at the time and he told me I needed to lose 30 pounds because I was big as an Amazon! And this was all because he was skinny and he had a problem with himself, I thought he was handsome until that fell out of his mouth. To the left!! I did not feel as “protected” at that point because he suddenly became very little to me! So yes LL, a lady would be a little shallow if she held hard and fast to the height requirement because it is hard enough meeting nice guys. But yes, if I could wave a magic wand and get everything I wanted in a guy, he would not have to be NBA-tall, but I would like to wear heels and he would still be taller. Napoleon would not be an issue and we could face the “real” problems of the world together! :)

    (A comment that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic but just because I can I am posting it.)

    Today I had one the tastiest lunches I have had in a long time. The Man asked me to come home for lunch because he was going to cook. (He doesn’t do it that often so I have to take him up on it when he offers). He made Omelettes with feta cheese and spinach. I have never eaten feta in anything other than stromboli’s and once I had chicken breast stuffed with feta. It was very different and tasted pretty good.
