Thanks, but no thanks

I was at dinner the other night with a couple of friends and the topic of booty calls came up. One of the men claimed to have stopped making those late night calls to the so called “friends with benefits”. Some people didn’t believe him (ok, most didn’t) but he admitted that he just didn’t engage in casual hook ups anymore. He even said that he has turned women down. He also thinks that friends with benefits aren’t all that worth it when there is zero chemistry or connection.

Now this guy is successful, kind, handsome, and in his late 20s so most of his friends tell him that he is too young to have this attitude. I thought it was completely normal and I wonder if more single men are adopting this attitude about casual hook ups.

Ladies, have you noticed more single men who are avoiding the friends with benefits arrangement? Have you ever been turned down by one?

Guys, are you noticing more of your buddies dodging booty calls? Have you slacked off on the casual hook-ups yourself?

Happy Friday!

Morning, and Happy Friday……Booty Calls, for lack of a better word are passe now….In our sexually promiscuous society, no, folks aren’t turning down the occassional rendezvous, just ain’t calling it that anymore……they’re just doin’ it!!! Stats show they aren’t getting married, and those same stats show babies are still being born out of wedlock, so they’re gettin’ here somehow…….

be easy; my $.02

It’s Friday, Let’s Get Cwrazy!, Let’s Get Nuts!

Ladies, have you noticed more single men who are avoiding the friends with benefits arrangement? Have you ever been turned down by one? No and No. As the dudes I know have gotten older, I don’t necessarily see them avoiding cut buddies. However, they may tend to not have as many different cuts in the rotation but just narrow it down to the top 2 or 3. lol

I see we have an easy topic for a Friday. I don’t know of any guys/gals in or out of my clique that are avoiding cut buddies or BCs. BCs are pretty much the norm nowadays. So many singles have been through the “relationship-ringer” that no one is anxious to invest in the emotional ups and downs of a traditional committed relationship. It’s a whole lot easier to commit to the booty than the heart.

I don’t think it’s strictly a male thing. I find more women are open to a BC. Many women that claim to have a “man” when I initially meet them don’t necessarily mean he’s a boyfriend. wink In other words, more women I meet have cut buddies, but are still in the market for a BF.

G It’s a whole lot easier to commit to the booty than the heart. I see its going to be a very off da chain Friday. As juvenile as that statement seems, it’s very true of how folks think today. We are just such an oversexed-minded society. We’re looking for love and belonging in all the wrong places. When was the last time a dyck gave love. I may give love licks but not genuine love.

Morning All!! I swear sometimes I think WD is listening in on me and my girls on the weekends! Just had this conversation and I dont think people are turning away from cutbuddies per se, like SlimOne said its just that people dont have as many! Its the norm, but I would like to think that you would want to have something in common even with a cutbuddy. I know its about the sex but there has to be sumthin else that attracts you to that person, JMO.

Ever been turned down No.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Happy Friday!

Since I avoid that type of arrangement like the plague…I really don’t know. However, I do hear the gripes of men who, as they get OLDER, state that the casual hook-up thing is just not fulfilling anymore. Even if they aren’t ready to get married (which is all the guys I know LOL), they’d rather have an old standby or an ex that they can call only “in case of emergency.”

It really is too risky and dangerous out there to be giving the business to any willing participant just because you can.

Good Morning Blog Fam

Que pasa! 2CPTG

I do notice that I have not received as many booty calls as I would have two or three years ago. In fact, many of the male friends I have made lately don’t even try the friends with benefits option, I love it. Although I think they do have casual sex buddies I just don’t rank and file as one of them.

Mornin folks..

This topic boils down to one thing, that is the common denominator for most of the topics put out there,on this blog “maturity”

When a man reaches a certain level of maturity in his life, he seeks “quality vs. quantity”

Don’t get me wrong, if a chick that I am somewhat interested in calls and says ” I would really like to see you this evening” If I have no immediate plans or substitution,she can hook up with ya boy,but at 35 and I am still out meeting chicks to just simply bang, get a clue!

At some point, you should want a few quality women in your life to hang out with and not sleep with and then have a few quality chicks that you can hang out with,but they provide favors.

This scenario is far different than “BC’s” in that most “BC’s” are chicks that are tier 4 chicks, that you don’t care nothin bout!

GoodMorning Er’body! Whats up QC, SlimOne, My Fellow Eastsida MO, Sexy, and anyone else i missed
Have you slacked off on the casual hook-ups yourself? i think i turn down more azz than i get. it started a couple of years ago when i really got focused on my goals and trying to reach them. and i know if you focus a lot of time in a certain area, you slack in others. at the time, i was focusing more so on women and everything else was secondary. had to get my mind right and get my priorities in line. so now i spend the majority of the time doing things to help me accomplish my goals and make time here and there for a shot of azz.

GOOD MORNING ROOM TGIF!!!! how is everyone doing this wonderful friday morning? Whats up SLIMONE@ WISE DIVA Believe your guy friend or not he probably is telling the truth (I cant say he is or he is not because I dont know his character) Even though he is in his late 20’s he’s just coming to age, I believe in the same thing, its to much casual sex going on these days just to have friends with benefits I love myself more than I love any person on this earth just to be running around sleeping with everyone. Even if you have three FWB at some point or another protection is going out the window and your opening yourself up for STD because no one knows what their other sex partner is doing. Im in y late 20’s also and sex could be the last thing on my mind sometimes, even though their are some nights I get a little confident (liquor) and I just want to put it down like JODY (baby boy) or DMX (belly). I have noticed a lot of my close friends turning down the BOOTY because were actually looking for THAT SPECIAL WOMAN plus you have the irritation that comes along with the friends with benefits. What do I mean by irritation? They want it to much and catch a attitude when they cant get it you also see the signs of them becoming attached. If were just “cut friends” whats up with the 21 questions when you can contact him/her? Let me break down some problems with the booty call because booty calls are not for everyone: if you’re clingy, desperate, STD-infested, or emotionally unstable,a booty call is the last thing you need!!!An ex might want to get back together, or you could end up ruining a friendship. The best that you could hope for is that someone will want to break off the deal because they found someone else. The worst that could happen is that you’ll want to get more serious and they won’t….You know very well that you dintt plan on buying or wearing that wedding ring. Don’t string someone else along because you’re only thinking of your own damn NUTT!!!

I agree with LL - basically age catches up with people, or at least it should.

I got a call recently from a former “friend with benefits” that I cut loose quite awhile ago. He was the only one in my life I would classify as that. It was never a fulfilling arrangement for me. Not that I wanted to marry the dude, but I really was interested in a quality adult relationship with real emotional as well as physical intimacy. I believe once you start a relationship off as FWB, there’s no turning it around into something serious later; it is what it is. Anyway, when I got the call I thought “Is this guy still doing this?” I mean, dude turned 41 in June! I know marriage is not for everyone, and he was never interested in anything long-term from me or anyone else, that’s why I only saw him as a FWB. But after a point, doesn’t it get kinda old? I didn’t even pick up the phone when I saw his name come up, because I told him I was seeing someone serious the last time he called and that has not changed. Now he seems like sort of a sleeze to me, not attractive.

QC I am LMAO over here, what a great idea!!!

On topic I call my guy my maintenance man and no I don’t think that people are getting rid of them. My maintenance man is just taking care of a few needs until I am found by the right man. I am usually the one making the calls to him. When I know I am haning out with the girls, like tonight, and I know I am going to have some drinks I go ahead and put him on standby and he is always happy to sit at his home and wait for me. But I will say that sometimes I do feel a bit cheap even though I was the one who initiated the call. I guess that all goes back to my maturity and my desire to really be in a committed relationship.

Chest bumps for Gorilla O and SSSBM

Women that have had friends w/benefits Have you ever been a little irritated when your CB called initiating a ‘meeting of the uglies’ but you don’t feel that way when you initiate it?

Also, ALL when you call up that CB, what do you say? Do you say, are you going to come square me up tonight, or do you try an indirect approach and say stuff like, you feel like having company tonight? Just curious.

One obersation I noticed recently, is that there is a huge demand for “Maint. men, especially for single professional women.

The majority of successful AA women are single,with very few options in a quality man,so they will settle for that dude,that can give them a “tune up” at a moments notice, rather than be alone(see Brown Eyes 9:53).

Not that most women don’t have options to date or someone to go out on a date with, but with all the dudes out there,that are serving up BDR’s (Bad Di*k Reports),some chicks would just rather find that one dude, that can “put them to bed” and roll with the program vs. grabbin the “sit and spin” i.e the vibrator.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE BOOTY CALLS ARE THAT NO ONE FOLLOWS THE RULES OR ABIDE BY THE “BOOTY CALL CONTRACT” If you do not have the booty call contract here it is feel free to print as many copies as you want. All booty call customers must sign before the sex act takes place………Booty call contract

The Pre-Booty Call Agreement

This pre-booty call Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “The Agreement”) is entered into on this day of ____, 20 , by ______, (hereinafter referred to as the “Participant”) between _____, (hereinafter referred to as the “Holder of ‘The Agreement’”) and ______ (Participant). This Agreement shall cover the following rules and principles for the Participant: 1. No sleeping over!! Unless it is very good and we need to repeat it in the morning. 2. No meeting in public except for dinner or drinks before the events of the evening. 3. No calls before 9 pm. We don’t have anything to talk about. 4. None of that “lovemaking” stuff, only mind-blowing sex allowed. 5. No emotional discussions!! i.e. where are we heading with this? Do you love me? The answer is “no”, so don’t even ask. 6. No plans made in advance. That is why you are called “the backup.” Unless you are from out-of-town, then it’s only a one-time advanced arrangement. 7. All gifts accepted- money is always good. 8. No baby talk- however, dirty talk is encouraged. 9. No asking for comparisons with former lovers it’s really none of your damn business. 10. No calling each other friends with privileges. We are not friends, just sex buddies. 11. Calling out the wrong name during sex is OK. Don’t be offended, you mean no less to me than you did before. 12. No extra clothing!! I don’t want your a* leaving anything behind when you leave. 13. No falling asleep right after sex!! It’s over so get your a* up and go home. 14. Don’t be offended if I don’t ask if you enjoyed it. I don’t care!! 15. You cannot borrow my car for any reason. 16. If anyone of the opposite sex asks who you are, the standard response will be “My roommates girlfriend/boyfriend.” 17. Doggie style preferred. Just hit it hard and right or get the Hell out! (Reason: The less eye contact the better. I don’t want to look at you.) 18. We are to hook up absolutely whenever the mood strikes me, so stop calling! 19. Bring your own drink-I am not your liquor store. 20. No phone use, please! I don’t want anyone calling back looking for your a*. *Extra tip for successful booty calls: The holder of the Agreement may only alter the aforementioned rules. If the other party attempts to change or alter any terms of the Agreement, it will automatically become null and void. The Participant will then be removed from the “Possible Future Relationship List” and given minimal Booty Call privileges, and cut off from any communications unless first initiated by the holder of this Agreement. If further violations of the Agreement occur the Participant will be deleted from phone memory, email list, and blocked from all communications until the Participant’s silly a* understands the rules.

Participant:

Signature: ______

Date: ______

Holder of the “Agreement”:

Signature: ______

Date: ______

SexyLeggs I thought your take on Musiq’s song was interesting. It’s a song I love (b/c it has a great beat, and a nice sample), but I hear what you’re saying about the respect part. Funny thing is, I think a lot of people who engage in BUDDY relationships think they are give each other the utmost respect by being honest about their intentions. It might not be for you or your daughter (when she’s 35 and has left the convent! lolol!), but for a lot of adults, it’s the best of both worlds.

SlimOne when you call up that CB, what do you say? For me, it was “what are you doing tonight”, “you gonna be busy later”, something really simple. If you are cool with that person you can even strike up a simple, yet quick convo. Just depends on you. It probably is easier than you think.

Brown Eyes are you my twin! I feel the same way. After some guy hurts me I go on this dog a guy out venture. It’s like I have to inflict karma on some dude. I know it’s wrong. But I have not done that in years!

SJ3000 you always keep it real dont’cha?

SexyLeggs I am glad YOU explained it to her and not ignore her or give her some BS fairytale G-rated version. Some parents think they can shield their kids from stuff by doctoring it up. But they are going to hear it anyway…from kids at school…on the street, etc. And it may be wrong…or delivered in a glorified way to make your child think it’s ok to do these things. For example, my friend doesn’t let her son play with any toy gun including water. But I tol her if she thinks she can shield him from knowing what they do she is dead wrong. She needs to explain the effects of guns…not let some kid or TV or some other fool glorify it to make him think it’s ok.

Who’s to say that a BC isn’t a relationship or there is no chemistry. The relationship can be consistent, and the chemistry can very well be physical. A “BC” can be as cool and consistent as any other relationship. You just leave the door open to meet other people. Just know your role and follow the rules. The communication does not have to be as blunt and condescending as inexperienced CBs tend to think.

Maturity? It’s mature to be upfront about your intentions and/or goals for what you want in a relationship. It’s mature to be true with yourself to know what type of relationship is right for you. LTR is not for everyone, and neither is BC.

SSSBM I have the same contract someone sent as a fwd a while ago. It was funny the first time i read it.

I think as you get older and still have CB, that you tend to want it to be a faux relationship. What i mean is, its not just the come over after 2am, get the groove on, then drive home soon after with shaky legs. If you have some sort of connection with that person, other than the ‘act’, then you tend to want to pretend in your mind for those hours or so that you and he/she have something more. You and him/her don’t talk about dating other folks or chat with other CB’s in their presence, etc.

Happy Friday all
I was somebody else’s booty call recently. It was good for me as it was the first woman I was with since my divorce, but I agree too, without chemistry it is no good. In my younger days (I’m 34) my booty calls were friends I was
A. Attracted to and
B. Had some resepct for
this last woman was attractive to look at, but I couldn’t stand talking to her, so I have let her go. I am not opposed to a booty call right now in my life, as I am not in a relationship, but I will hopefully find someone nice and have a medium-term relationship in the future.

I’m guessing you are trying to settle down or trying to find the right man. Why do women have a wild 20’s and 30’s then try to settle down when the clock is ticking? Once all the wildness is out you all start complaining about there are no good men in your age range when you should have been thinking about that in you all’s roaring 20’s and 30’s.

Good morning Everyone!

No comment on this topic. My circle of friends does not participate in the cut buddy activity; unless you include waking your hubby in the middle of the night…three of my four close friends are married.

THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE

Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.

How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you’re on.

Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.

Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open.

Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jolier than the people who have to wait for them?

Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.

If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free yet?

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors…but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the “present.”

Have an awesome day, and know that someone who thinks you are great has thought about you today!

I’ve had several FWBs in the past, although at this point in my life, I’d rather have a full relationship with a man. But, I must say, anyone that I am attracted to sexually is someone that I like/respect enough to enjoy on some level other than just sex. If I felt so little for that person that I have nothing to say, than I certainly don’t want to have an intimate experience with him, either. So, whereas we didn’t ‘date’ per se, we did have a mutual relationship, which is as it should be, IMO. If only one person is getting anything out of the experience, then it might as well be a prostitute/client relationship. A good FWBs relationship can be very fulfilling, IMO.

Hey Staceye. Thank you. I do try to keep it real with her. I can only shelter her from so much. Children are quick learners, and the street talks to them louder than I can. Therefore, while she’s “on my watch,” I’m not going to sugar-coat life for her.

SSSBM I am a mature, sexy woman who keeps herself together at all times for MYSELF. I was never reckless in my 20’s or early 30’s (before marriage). I had a few BCs, and I made a few BCs back in the day. Divorced one year and blossoming all over again (w/legs closed..LOL).

SJ3 To me, that’s how it would have to be. I don’t think i’ve ever had a strictly CB partnership where we weren’t friends. I guess I can say i’ve been lucky that they have enjoyed my company and respected me enough not to treat me like the come-towel. LOL! However, I can see how being that way could send mixed signals to the female making her believe that it could or is turning into something more.

SexyLeggs Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you! I’m just saying, there are a lot of people who justify this action by saying, “Hey, I was honest with you about my plans…you can either go along with it, or not!” That’s basically what the song is about. I can be your BUDDY, you can be mine…no strings…we just hit it, or maybe we don’t…you have your other BUDDY’s and I have mine. My point was the irony of honesty. Of course, if you don’t want to be a BUDDY, then you should be just as honest as the person who is asking for the BUDDY hook up.

SBM I would think its the same reason men sow their wild oats and then when they mature - they get ready to settle down. It’s not the clock ticking but more like what LL said - maturing. I would think that after a while, both sexes get it out of their system and decide to settle down.

@Tazzee I don’t thing women fully understand that with men, marriage is an option, not a necessity!

Most men enjoy being single and having options! Women tend to be more into commitment, than having options.

I have had at least 3-4 women say to me in the past month,”you don’t worry about growing old and being alone” and I said to each of them,I am not alone now, so why do you think I am going to grow old alone?

They looked like I pooted!

There is a perception that if you are single, you are alone or if you never get married, you will be alone and that could be farther from the truth! Look at Hugh Heffner!

I can only speak for me and say that I love waking up everyday and not knowing what to expect!

I love the thought of going out tonight and not being on a curfew! I love the thought that I could meet one of these hairshow chicks this weekend and it could go down, without me looking over me shoulder!

I love the fact, that I can fly a chick in or go fly to a chick and it is all good!

I love the fact that I am in full control of my life and I don’t have someone dictating to me what they need or want me to do for them!

Hopefully, now you see why so many men love their options and most of all what life has to offer!

I ask that b/c it would seem that after the 1st conference…I mean, hook up, that the 2nd one would be the one where you would actually establish the CB nature of the conference.

LL I don’t understand why you directed your post to me. I know why so many men love their options because I love my options. I love coming home and only having to cook for me. I love laying in the bed Saturday mornings - getting up when I want to get up. I love hopping on a plane when I want to, going where I want to. And truthfully - if I wanted to go out with a different man every night I could - but for the most part I don’t want to be bothered. And while I am alone now - it’s because I choose to be, not because I have to be.

Honestly, right now - the only reason I plan to get married is because of my spiritual beliefs concerning pre-marital sex. If it wasn’t for that - I would be single for life. And if I could get married but maintain different households - that would be the greatest option for me.

So I have no argument as to why men like their options.

{clap clap clap) I too enjoy being responsible for only myself. I have the option if I want to cook for more, I can.
As far as ‘younger’ women vs. older women, I have a range that is about 5 years either side. Clearly young girls are more mature than the same age boys, and I have found that to continue to be the case up into the mid 30’s. Once men grow up, (tired of sowing their oats, wanting to get a real job, etc.) it evens out and then you can get to actually know someone.

Mo the thing is, where I am now (not madly in love with anyone) - I’m not looking forward to cooking for or cleaning up after anyone. I have yet to meet a man that doesn’t snore - so I’m not looking forward to fighting to get to sleep first. I’m not looking forward to waking up and seeing the same face every day. So in my state of not having a man I want to marry the only benefit I can see from marriage is some good sex on a regular basis.

It’s not that I don’t ever want to be married - it’s just that until I run across someone that I desire to do those things for and with - sex is the only benefit.

Trust me, I know that when the right man comes along - I’ll look forward to doing an abundance of things for him. Shoot I might even want to have his babies…NOT.

The point I was trying to make is, not all women are sitting around trying to be married. Some of us love our current situation and sans the man that will make me want to change my name and share my space - I am not looking forward to being married.

Tazzee - I agree. Men think that’s all on a woman’s mind,whatever age she is. Sure, most of us would like to, but you got to have a fulfilling LIFE in the meantime too. And the women I know over 35 that are not married but would like to be, they were not neccessarily wild from 20 on, just enjoying life or circumstances brought them to where they are now. Life can change the best laid PLANS! I would have never thought I would be where I am at this age, but I spent the last 10 years caring for my parents, both of whom I lost to cancer too soon. Relationships kind of got put on the backburner because no one I met was very supportive or understanding. Timing is a factor too. When I was under 35, I kept meeting men who were focused on careers and not ready to make a relationship a priority enough to lead to marriage. So you see, one can’t really “plan” marriage and kids out very well, because LIFE can throw you curves you would not have expected. Sometimes, when people ask me why I’m not married, I say “Oh yeah, I forgot to do that, I think I’ll do it during my lunch hour tomorrow”. They don’t quite know what to say after that!

Gorilla O I dated one guy that snored so bad it made me mad. I would be deep into my nice little sleep and suddenly awakened by his snoring. So there I was, can’t sleep and he’s in his 9th dream!!! Talk about H-O-T!!! I wanted to just kick him! But I would usually get up and go sleep in another room.

I just don’t see how married people do it! While I loved him and would endure that once or twice a week - I never reached the point of being so in love that I could envision that every night.

kimmie Sorry to hear about your parents. God bless you for caring for them. Another misconception is that all women single and in their 30’s were too focused on their careers to get married. Nope - just didn’t run across the right man. But in the meantime, why not make that money?

Eight words women use…MEN should know:

1.) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. Something, and you should be on your toes.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

5.)Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. Means she thinks you are an idiot.(Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying F@!K YOU!

8.) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to #3.

Mona lisa (what? ) singing mona lisa, so men made you.. Youknowhati’msayin? so I said, excuse me, dear

My gosh, you look nice! Put away your money I’ll buy that slice! She said, thanks - I’d rather a slice of you I’m just kidding, but that’s awfully nice of you The compliment showed she had a mind in her And when I smiled (ping!) I almost blinded her She said, great scott! are you a thief?

Staceye Have you dad ever thought about getting his tonsils and/or adenoids removed? That will help ease the snoring. I’ve had both removed but not for snoring though.

Wise I’d take it personal if some dude wanted me to bury the bullet. I’d consider putting them away and not discussing my one-on-one time with self with him, if it made him that uncomfortable. But him asking you to throw it away is like you asking him to chop is hand off. YOU FEEL ME?

They had an article about trying new things sexually and this one woman talked about self-love. She said that even though she’s in a relationship now - she’s still her own best lover. Maybe that’s what the guy is afraid of…

My friend Lacy had a guy friend tell her once that she may as well be doing it with another guy if she was seeking pleasure outside of him.

As for your second question…being a married woman and all, since intercourse is the most natural act of pleasuring we all like to think that your partner don’t need or shouldn’t desire anything else “outside” (pun intended) of you. But I would be lying if I say I have never had those days that I am just down right cranky and not in the mood and don’t want to say “Back up off me and go talk to Palmer”.

I’m of the opinion that there is definitely a correlation between a woman’s age and her viewpoint of sex without commitment (i.e. Booty Calls). It’s an interesting cycle. Generally speaking, younger women (early to mid 20’s) are enjoying the freedom of adulthood. Consequently, they tend to base their decisions regarding sexual relationships solely on having fun. They’re at the I’m Grown stage. Promiscuity is common, often accompanied by diminished self-respect. By the time a women get‘s a little older (mid 30’s), the behavior she enjoyed a decade ago, she now views as degrading. This is the self-awareness stage. This is when the relationship agenda is formulated. Dating without a destination is unacceptable. They realize the value of their wombs and will not give that gift away to the undeserving. At this stage, sex outside the confines of a committed relationship, or at the very least, a close friendship is rare. The next stage (which is my personal favorite) is the Its my world phase. This occurs when a woman is mid 40’s early 50’s. By this time she has seen it all; marriage, divorce, children grown and gone. She no longer has a desire for a committed relationship. At this stage, the lady does not bullshyt. She will tell you in no uncertain terms the purpose of your presence in her life. To men that are young and weak, her self-assurance and dominance can be intimidating. Her regal demeanor exudes wisdom and commands respect. She’s not insulted by a booty call because she realizes it is what it is. However, unlike women in the first stage, she’s not going to be mentally manipulated into a late night encounter that leaves her feeling used and disrespected. In the “Its my world” stage, the woman dictates and controls how its going down. If she chooses to honor you with her company, she’ll do so. If not, accept it and behave yourself. When dealing with women that are at this point of their journey that’s all you can do. But if you know what I know, you’ll come when she calls.

*WISE Ladies, would you ever ask your man to stop using porn, going to strip clubs, or self-pleasuring himself? Of course not….UNLESS it was causing some sort of issues such as if he was abusing the porn (child porn or meeting up with chicks off the sites, or running up thousands of dollars in charges). As long as there isn’t any negative consequences from the behavior let it be. But like Chris ROck said AIN’T NO SX IN THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM!

Sexyleggs that would irk the crap out of me especially if i was awaken out of a nice deep coma-like sleep. Also, with it being every morning I’d wonder why he wasn’t trying to slip up in my guts on the sly instead of waking Miss Palmer up.

Cinderella I was just talking about that very same thing to a friend recently. It’s like you want that stability we think marriage will bring but at the same time want our lax freedom too. Want a piece of cake?

SJ I’m not sure about the ruining the goodies by overuse of self-pleasing. I could see that if a chick was doing it day in and day out with only human interaction every once in a blue moon. However, if you’re with someone part of having a sexual relationship is to learn what pleases the other person. Now if homeboy can’t seem to figure that out over the course of a few sessions then maybe he needs to just buy her a new toy…not get mad at them.
