Third (or fourth or fifth) time’s a charm?

For all of you “The Office” viewers out there, you know the time has come. Season 3 is now available on DVD.

Which means, of course, I’ve been dashing home each night so that I can cram in as many episodes as possible in order to review the whole season, plus bonus materials, by the end of the week. (I would point out here that this seems like it should be a sad reflection on my love life, but everything’s actually going very well right now!)

In episode 2, our hero Jim tells his old boss Michael that he actually left the branch because of Pam (our heroine). “I transferred because of Pam…It’s just, I kinda put it all on the line, twice, actually. And she said no…twice.”

It struck me that this is a very common theme in literature, movies and TV series—the idea of the extended pursuit after initial rejection. And I’ve seen it quite a bit in real life, too. I’ve seen multiple guys attempt to win a woman’s heart after the first rejection or two (sometimes a year earlier!). The difference is, I don’t remember ever seeing this work in real life!

Have you ever stayed in the game to win someone after they initially rejected you? (This could be applicable to a meet-and-greet situation, or it could be about a relationship over a period of time.) Have you ever been rejected more than one time by someone who eventually gave in? Is there a certain point at which you should give up the chase?

Guys, most of the time it’s men depicted in these types of situations. Are women just as likely to hang in there after losing the first time?

Have you ever fallen in love with someone you initially rejected? What had to happen for your heart to change about the situation?

I’m first, I’m first.

Whats up blogsville. Lets see if this will work today.

On topic: I’m not a cheetah, I’m not trying to run my prey down. It’s got to be natural selection for me. If I have to run her down to get her I’ll have to run to keep her, and that gets tiring. Its to much easier to meet a woman that has a mutual attraction than to go re-program someone that doesn’t see my obvious good traits. LOL

Also, every woman Ive cared for was more of an automatic thing.

For Real that was a great post yesterday about seeing someones value. Very true. We may think we’re gold but someone else thinks we’re shyt.

Off topic: Yesterday I upgraded from Outlook Express to Outlook 2007 (Office Small Business 2007) and what a difference. I am so fuggin excited I want to email everyone. LOL This program has everything. I do have a few bugs to work out but that’ll be done today. Woohoo.

So what I, a technology geek.

I’m now trying to get a rss feed from this blog. Then I can keep up while I’m on the road. LOL

I don’t like chasing women. For me, my mantra is “I’ll offer you the choice”. Should you decline, there will be no other offer.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not being conceited, but as a good-man-in-training, I know my own value. So if the offer is extended and for whatever reason a woman declines, there’s no going back on that offer.

What’s up everybody.

Off topic: Truth my job just gave me a new Dell 1720 outfitted with Microsoft Vista and I’m playing wiht Office Small Business 2007 too. But most of my tech friends told me to be careful with this new OS because it was put on the market prematurely. I haven’t had any major problems thus far, but its only been about a good week since I’ve had it. How’s your experience?

On topic: It is my belief that TV shows that depict the man in the honorable pursuit of a woman leads many good men astray as to what’s real and what’s fantasy. I have found it very seldom that a woman accepts a dude’s advances after rejecting him. Plus, as I’ve grown older and wiser, any woman that has rejected me in the past and suddenly wants my attention doesn’t receive it readily. I’ve come to the conclusion that any woman who truly wishes to submit to a man does so without rejection or second guessing themselves … their intuition tells them when they should submit.

The microsoft rep was at Staples yesterday and told me that as long as I had MS Works 6.0 or higher (almost every computer built in the last 10 years does) I could just buy the upgrade ($249.00) vs the full blown program ($599) I think. What a coupe. Anyone wanting to play email tag hit me up. LMAO

This guy at my old job(in NY of course) would always make this sound everytime I passed him. I out right asked him one day why he does that and he told me because everytime he saw me he would think about all the things he wanted to do.

Now, I found this dude to be below me and just not my type. We got into a conversation one day and he came right out and asked if we could hook up and do the ‘do’ (sex). I laughed in his face and told him that his filthy hands (he was a repairman)would never touch me.

He was hurt and I did not care, but he kept right on after me. Well let me cut the story - the sex was wonderful, best @#$% I’ve ever had!! No lie, I had him on a regular schedule - every Saturday night for about 2 months. His hands were clean outside of work..LOL!!

He didn’t give up - just changed his approach and he was not overly aggressive about it.

Amazon Red Are you serious Lotus Notes? I can’t imagine.

Corbin I bought a Dell a few months back with Vista and at first it looks good. Its out there to run against Apple they should have tweaked it a little bit more. But you need at least 2gigs for your whole system to run smooth. My other computers (work and desktop) I’m still one MS2007 its weired at first going between the two. I don’t know maybe I’m a geek but I love testing new programs as soon as they come out. I opened one small business this year and another one next year and MS Small Business is alot of help for forcast, business plan, etc.

On Topic I don’t stalk, being a woman either he or he is not interested. Keep it moving. Now I’ve had guys continue to be push there game. Then it takes one cold look and a few nice southern lady like words to have them back the heck up.

Ok, so what was the topic? Oh, yeah…

Have you ever fallen in love with someone you initially rejected? What had to happen for your heart to change about the situation?

Hmmmm… I’mma take it WAY back to junior high. There was this guy named Micheal C. (I think that’s how he spelled it). He was a little chubby in the 8th grade and very nerdy. He hung out with my best guy friend James, who may have been a little sweet, but no one really knew in those days. Well, Micheal was just head over heels in love with me and I wouldn’t give him the time of day. We were friends ONLY and I made sure that he knew it.

Fast forward about 4 years and y’all know what happened… Dude had moved away near the beginning of high school, but he came back to visit as a senior. Whoo!!! DUDE GREW UP!!! Dang, dude had it going on! He was always smart, but after a few years, his muscles had muscles, he was tall, sexy, just all that. He was pleasantly friendly to me, but that was it. I gave him my number, but I don’t think he even called! :-( How was I supposed to know at 13 what would happen four years later???

That’s the only time I really regretted rejecting a man from the get-go. The rest of them, I had dayum good reasons for that rejection.

Persistence is one thing, but harassment and stalking is something totally different. The problem is how the one being pursued is perceiving your persistence. One should know when to back off. Any mature adult should be able tell when someone is just not feeling you and when your actions are starting to creep them out. And then you can tell when someone is just playing hard to get but they reeeaaally want to be got. Know the difference and save yourself from heartbreak and possible jail time.

$Bill been waiting for my hell from you. Glad you corrected. I was like, “He wants her to give him hell??” LOL!!!

Have you ever stayed in the game to win someone after they initially rejected you? (This could be applicable to a meet-and-greet situation, or it could be about a relationship over a period of time.)

Now, I must admit, I hung in there emotionally for a man that I loved from afar for three years. I introduced myself to him with a lame request for help and we eventually started hanging out (no sex). After about three months of that, he did something crazy and I blew up at him. He figured out that my reaction had more to do with my feelings for him than anything and because he didn’t want a relationship, he called me on it. I ended up pulling back, and we eventually became friends again, on and off.

Anyway, in the three years that we knew each other before he came to me for a relationship, I moved on, dated and had other relationships, but my heart was always with him (even though I denied it to myself). There was even a year that we didn’t speak, but nothing changed in the way I felt. I never told him though. When he started to pursue me, I held out for about 6 months before I would go out with him. It wasn’t about turning the tables, I loved him, but it was just that I wasn’t up for his drama. I changed my mind eventually, we got together, and….I still ended up with his drama. At least it put an end to that bit of history.

I got a Dell Inspirion E1405, upgraded everything on it. Its heavier than what I wanted so I’m going to sell it and go back to what I know which is Fijitsu in December.

I have to say working full time in a very demanding high stress job then trying to do a small business on the side is by far not easy at all. I’m not putting all that I should into. But its going as good as it can be with what I’m putting into it.

Raqi You are so right. There’s a guy on MySpace that creeps me out. I should just probably block him now, but he only pops up every few months. When he first starting sending messages, I noticed his tone of desperation and he actually was offended if I didn’t respond right away. That was too much for me, so I asked him not to contact me again.

Because he’s so bright (Foots says sarcastically), he sent me another message recently, which I didn’t respond to. He must be a genius (said even more sarcastically than before), because he sent me ANOTHER one asking why I didn’t respond before and if he did anything wrong. I’m thinking to myself *”Yeah, you did something wrong. You took another breath!” He is definitelly one who is NOT able to tell when a woman isn’t feeling him.

I love that in a man. Tell me what your intentions are, don’t bulls#$t me! I was married before so I’m not looking for that anymore.

I met this guy once in the club (in NY) was very attracted to him - he wanted my number after we interacted for the night. I asked him where did he want this to go - what are your intentions? He could not tell me - if he would have said - hey I would like to take you to breakfast and lay something on you - he might have got it.

I gave him more than enough chances to come out with it, but he never did. Oh well.

NY 2 GA, do you really think that when you ask a man for his “real” intentions up front he”s going to be honest. Some will, most won’t simply because they haven’t realized that they can get the panties quicker by being up front. For most, being so frank is a turn off to a lot of women. It’s a hard call for a man to deciper…they’re just not smart enough to discern when to simply say “I just want to rock your world and move on”…LOL. Sory fellas, but it’s the truth.

By Raqi

September 19, 2007 10:37 AM | Link to this

Foots that’s an obvious creep borderline stalker.

Corbin IMO Hard to get is that person that initially says no but continues to flirt and maintain overly friendly conversation with you over time. Sometimes hard to get just means show me something to make it worth my while to spend my time with you. Sometimes hard to get is for people who like to be chased. It makes them feel desirable.

Now if you ask someone out and they say no without any further interacting. No friendly conversation, no cordial greeting, consistent cold shoulder then leave that person alone. They are not interested.

There was a very nice guy that use to work here that was advised to leave because a young lady that he liked reported him as being harassing. Once the woman said how she felt to him and then to her superiors he should have let it go but he didn’t. Like I said what you may feel is persistence I may interpret as you stalking me.

My youngest brother asked my friend Lacy out a few years ago and she turned him down. But every time he was down here and she was always more than pleasantly pleased to be in his company. But she continued to turn him down. Word on the street is she got got. He obviously figured why would she continue to flirt with him and entertain him if she didn’t really want him. When he spilled the news of their rendezvous’ I jokingly stated that she didn’t like him and he said “yeah right”.

$Bill - He fixed me the way some men couldn’t - you are right, but he was not the only one in my rotation so it was not that I gave in because I was needy. He just talked a good game - guess I was curious at first, then ‘open’ after that. ;)

SexyLeggs - If they only knew. Ask for the world and you may just get it guys.

There is a way to go about it of course. Don’t run up and say hey nice a$$ can I have some? Ahh no - but don’t tell me you love me and blah blah blah, this is what I hear after I think that you talkin s**t. It turns me off.

On topic: my first love, I initially was like “Oh I cannot deal with him”. He was everything that I said I wouldnt date (at that time). But I continued to talk to him and everything (he was cute and nice). Long story short he ended up being the love of my life, the one that I will never forget and he and I are still friends to this day. Because of pride we didnt remain together but man, the chemistry is off da chain! I havent dealt with anyone else yet, not even the ex-so that was as compatible with me both inside and outside the bedroom as this man! It was a lesson learned though because I had prejudged him based on simple things instead of just getting to know him first. If it had not been for my roommates coaxing I probably wouldnt have pursued him….that’s a horrible thought!

Corbin/C tha 1 No, that’s not maturity. That’s getting to a certain level where you just don’t give a dayum anymore if you approach all women like that. Not all women are random hits, some still want to be treated with a little respect.

Women already know that you want the vagizzle eventually. That’s nothing new. Put a little class to it. If all you want is the vagizzle, then channel some Teddy P. (Come on and go with me, come on over to my place) instead of Ying Yang Twins (Wait til you see my ____!).

IMO, the ONLY time where you should walk up to a woman and tell her flat out, “I want some draws” is if she is standing on the street corner renting herself out. That is acceptable in that case.

No he has not changed and I would hope that he does not change for me or anybody else. I would not consider him someone I could be serious about. But, again he is a good person and friend.

Raqi - I agree 100%, if you can still flirt and hang with the person who rejected you (me and the tech) - chances are you MAY still be in the game. On the other hand if they avoid you any way they can, let that go - it’s harassment!

Here is your song Mo

(Take me home) (Take me home)

Baby, I know you’re wondering Why I won’t go over to your place ‘Cause I’m not too sure about how you feel So I’d rather go at my own pace

And I know and you know That if we get together Emotions will go to work And I may do something I might regret the next day And end the hurt

Oh, I don’t know The way that I feel I’m so afraid of a one night deal

I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby Because I need you tonight I wonder if I take you home Would you still be on love baby Because I need you tonight Ho-home!

Your love is…

(Take me home) (Oh, oh, oh)

Lately, you’ve been expressing to me Just how much you want to make love I want it just as much as you do But will you still keep in touch?

You say I’m teasin’ But I do have a reason Don’t let your feelings fade ‘Cause you will have me And sooner than you know it If you could only wait

Oh I don’t know The way that I feel I’m so afraid of a one night deal

And sometimes I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby Because I need you tonight I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby (Home, home - Home, home) Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby Because I need you tonight I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby (Home, home - Home, home) Because I need you tonight Ho-home!

(Spoken) And on the real side If you love me  (huh!) You would wait!

Ooh… no no no no no… No-oh!

I wonder if I take you home (Home, home - Home, home) I wonder if I take you home

Your love is… (Ho-ho-home)

I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby Because I need you tonight I wonder if I take you home Would you still be in love baby Because I need you tonight Ho-home!

(I wonder, I wonder, I really, really wonder) Home, home - Home, home (Take me home) (I wonder, I wonder, I really, really wonder) (Take me home) Your love is… So good

(Spoken) Guy: They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder You’re not sure you’re the holder of my eyes I gave our relationship more credit than it deserves

Girl: No, it’s just that I feel you’re rushing me

Guy: Ok, ok…Since you don’t love me… and don’t wanna be with me

Girl: No, it’s not that. It’s just that I’m afraid of getting hurt…I don’t know. I just keep asking myself….Should I REALLY take you home? What do you think?

Take me, take me Take me home Take me, take me Take me home Take me, take me Take me home [Repeat once while she continues]

Home, home - Home home Ooh… no no no no no… No no no no no…. No! (Home)

You’re down on your knees, begging me please Ho-home! (Take me home) Take you home…

Will you still love me If I take you home…..

Will you still love me If I take you home…..

I remember in Junior H.S. a guy named Michael had a crush on me. He was very smart then (much like myself). He was very nice, however, he had a very, very high butt that I couldn’t get with at the time. He would walk me home from school on a daily basis. Like I said, he was very nice. I lived on the 5th floor and would often run up to the roof and watch him walk down the block. His high butt on his back truly bothered me, and I stopped letting him walk me home from school. Every so often I still think about him. Ok, call me shallow back then.

You guys may be taking this the wrong way. Honesty is real cool. However, I’m not saying I like men to come up to me and point blank say they want my panties all the time. What Staceye originally posted was that once in a while it’s actually refreshing to have a brother just come and be honest with his intentions. Honesty in most cases is quite refreshing. I’m not advocating being a “man hoe” about it.

$Bill I hate game. Just be you. If you are a nice guy for real and you really are interested in getting to know me as a person…then do that. But if you are tryingn to hit it, be honest. Granted I will not oblige, but as you can see there are wowmen who are ok with that. So as it was stated earlier…”No” is simply a word. If she says no….there will be someone who says yes. The problem comes in when Mr. I Wanna Hot IT is playing the nice guy role to the girl who wants more than that. By lying to her he is scorning that woman when he breaks her heart. When all he had to do was find the one who was on the same page as he. Then all problems would have been avoided. case in point…juts be real with your intentions.

For Real you took it back. I was like 4 thinking I was the Black/Dominican version of Lisa Lisa. I even tried to do my hair like hers. What can I say..being and only child left me with nothing but time and open ground to be creative. I think I was the only 7 year old who knew how to sew things by hand and machine.

Generally speaking, most men don’t go to clubs to dance, women do. By the same token, most men don’t date in hopes of establishing long-term relationships, women do. Initially, men’s motives are far more shallow. This may sound crude, but I believe it to be true. Furthermore, What does the term dating seriously mean anyway? What…you can’t joke or smile on the date? All dates are casual. If fate dictates, they evolve into something more serious. It’s futile for one to attempt to make a conscious effort to establish exclusivity in a relationship. That’s something that happens naturally, most times unknowingly. Granted, you can verbalize what you’re looking for and your date may have the exact same agenda, but that’s no guarantee that your interaction will result in a successful union. In my opinion, it’s all chemistry and timing. Neither of which is in your control. I realize as we get older and begin to feel that desire to wed and start a family, we narrow the pool of potential candidates and only entertain those that meet a certain criteria. However, even those encounters are casual. I’m a firm believer in lust at first sight. Most men don’t date in search of a wife; they date in search of some azz.
What normally transpires is that at some point during the subtle pursuit of the panties a friendship develops. Ultimately, the women’s substance, character and spirit supersede the man’s initial intentions and he discovers he has no desire to be with anyone else but her. (actually, I posted this yesterday and it just showed up..)

Morning greetings….

Dushawn-Thanks for your candid breakdown of the differences between men and women in dating….I enjoy reading you when I log on….you always bring logic and TRUTH to the discussion…..

I agree that dating is taken far too seriously leaving women with unrealistic expectations that result in heightened frustrations amongnst men….dating is an exploration of both the potential suitor and yourself. Every encounter will not end in marriage or ‘happily ever after’ but it prepares you for the chemistry and timing of THE relationship worth waiting for….

AmazonRed - more to the story of course. I did say I was cutting my story short - this site is not big enough to handle the whole story.

But he was never a jerk in his approach. He has a certain style about him besides being what he calls ‘hood’. And he has always been honest to me, always a plus good or bad.

Yeah a certain attraction was there. We communicated at first because we had to and I saw the different side to him through that.

Then from there we got more personal, which is when he asked to ‘get in my pants’. We talked for about 4 months before we ended up where we did.

Sorry to have been so vague may have come off a little misleading.

Did you not know that it’s that way for women too? I’m initially interested in a man (who I haven’t previously met) when he walks up to me because I’m attracted to him. My attraction to him keeps me in the conversation. How am I supposed to know about your volunteer work and your passion for cooking and your funny jokes, and the way you call your mama every Sunday when I first meet you? We’re not psychic. Don’t be fooled into thinking that men have lust on lock. Some type of chemistry has to be there for a man to even get a foot in the door.

DuShawn I agree. I think the real problem w/ dating is the expectation that comes with it. Despite what people might like to believe, everyone has some kind of expectation. It may be for the dating to lead to a long-term relationship and marriage. Or it may be simply a quick hit and run. Or something in between. We’ve discussed this before though. As far as persistence goes, there’s a fine line between persistence and stalking. I don’t waste my time, and don’t want to have my time wasted. So, if a guy isn’t interested, I’m moving on down the road. If I’m not interested, I’m doing what I can to be kind, but not give the impression that you have a chance…i.e. I will speak when I see you, but we’re not going out for lunch/dinner, etc. Now, when you get to stalker mode, you gets the gas face!!

But I was giving that example in response to the fellas trying to tell the ladies that they don’t know how wonderful we are when they first meet us, they just see a piece of meat. In my opinion, all first meetings are like that, for men and women, unless you get to know the person through work, church, school, other organizations, etc. We use our five senses to interpret that person before our brains really engage to find out who that person is. How he looks, how he smells, how his voice sounds, how he feels (cause I WILL feel a dude in some form or fashion while talking to him), how he….well, maybe just four senses to begin with. LOL

Y’all it’s a sad day in the NC house. Some of you may remember back in December how happy I was to get my braces off. Well, sadly, my orthodontist apparently didn’t handle my case as well as she could have, and yesterday I had to get them put back on. No, my teeth weren’t all jacked up to begin with. Just needed to adjust some things to keep the whole TMJ thing from being a problem. After 2 1/2 yrs of pain and no corn on the cob (ugh!), I was soooooo happy to get those blasted things off. But, my ortho sold her practice to someone, who is apparently waaaaaay more competent than she, and after only 1 visit for my retainer check, he said, “We need to put them back on.” So, another 6-9 months of this mess. The migraines have resumed….booooooooooooooooooooo!!

    Why can’t people feel when they have a weggie. They can! But, do you really want to see someone digging that weggie out of their butt? Eeeww!!

    Maybe it’s me but when I see white high heel shoes I think stripper. Or clear heels! It’s not just you! LOLOL!!

    Ladies are you attracted to guys in tight jeans? I mean does that really work? Nooooooooo!! All that means to me is low sperm count, 1980s, and he must be living in his mama’s guest room (notice I didn’t say basement!) I don’t want a man to bust a sag either. How about buying jeans that fit properly?

    NC Girl, Foots, and Du back in the day my braces were the bane of my nerdy existence. Like NCG, my orthodontist applied braces on my grill twice! A horrible experience to endure as a kid from 3rd - 8th grade. I even wore my retainer until I was 21! But it’s all gravy now, they haven’t shifted much at all. I guess Ma knew what she was doin’ cause a sly smile here and there can get you out of a jam every now and then.

  • Would you be offended if I offer you a phish sandwich?

  • Why come all women do that little walk when they trip and who taught yall that walk?

  • Why do women wear pants with shoes they had tailored for heels?

  • Why do women that no longer has perky breast not wear a bra and why do women with perky breast wear a bra?

  • When did grits get so popular that they sell in a Mexican resturuant?

  • Why does a grill cheese sandwich cost $5?

    For Real Why can’t people feel when they have a weggie If you aren’t used to wearing drawers on a daily basis then it becomes natural to have your pants up in your azz. It’s sort of like wearing a thong; only differenc is, instead of having a string in your dookie shoot, the whole seat of your pants are stuffed in the crack like caulking in a window seal.

    On topic I rejected a guy initially and we ended up dating for 4years….At first, I wasn’t that attracted to him physically and I told him that we could be friends. He continued to pursue me and the more I got to know him I realized how great a guy he was.

    SexyCool I had a girlfriend who dated a guy for almost two years and only went to his house once….And that was right before they broke up. I would ask her over and over….why won’t you go to his house? She was cool with it…until he broke up with her.

She simply got tired of carrying that thing around and wants you to hold it for a minute. I’ll pass. If they cant pass the taste test I’m out. All booty ain’t good booty.

    Observation:

    • Why is it that people say; it’ll ‘make-ya-slap-yo-mama’ when something tastes good? Why can’t I go slap my daddy?

    • Why am I prolly the only black person in Chocolate City a.k.a. ATL that has not seen most of T. Perry’s movies/playwrites? and no, I dont’ feel deprived…

    • Why is it that when you become a certain age you call your child (which you named) another family members name? AND you also say; Boy u know yo’ name!

    • If I see one more person say ‘Good Morning’ and it’s almost 5:00p…. imma explode? Where they been all day…sniffin’ bleach?!!

    Would you be offended if I offer you a phish sandwich? You stoopid! Yes! And stop phishing!

    Why come all women do that little walk when they trip and who taught yall that walk? LOL! Mama taught us, so when we did trip as little girls, you wouldn’t get a free peek at the underpants. Fresh boy!

    Why do women wear pants with shoes they had tailored for heels? B/c if we didn’t, they’d be too short when we wore heels…duh! Don’t you know about cooooooooordinating?

    Why do women that no longer has perky breast not wear a bra and why do women with perky breast wear a bra? For the saggy breasted women, to keep the bresticles from getting mashed in the lap belt when we put on our seatbelts. For the perky chicks, to torment you men who would loooove to see bouncing perky breasteses!

    When did grits get so popular that they sell in a Mexican resturuant? Now, that’s a question I can’t answer. They sell grits in Mexican restaurants down there? That hasn’t made it to NC yet. Weird.

    Why does a grill cheese sandwich cost $5? Cuz they aren’t using that gubment cheese anymore. Kraft is expensive, yo!

    You got to be kidding; you just ask what you paid for period. You’ll be dumb if you did not reclaim to get what your money worth. The flight attendant gets paid just to do that….You did not ask anything in this instance and you did not receive anything that you didn’t pay.

    Afternoon Folks!

    There was this guy from college that I rejected because he ‘appeared’ to be too soft. At that time I was into football players and Que’s. He was a nice church boy in the acting troupe with me. A few years later, after I had matured, I realized he was a good guy. I never tried to date him or anything like that though. As a matter of fact, there are a few guys that I rejected during my wild college days that I would probably date now.

    Guess my point was - some people settle for less and I don’t. Yeah you are right, but why should I beat around the bush if I know what I will and will not accept.

    Somebody has to be taken advantage of sometimes - I just don’t think it should be me, do you think it should be you? Guess that’s the NY in me.

    I don’t think this world will be handed to me on a silver platter because I ask for what I want - but so far it has worked to my liking.

    You are too busy thinking that I want someone to come up and ask me hey NY can I have some puntang - negative, not my point. But I don’t want you to think that you have to stroke my ego to stroke my a$$.

CEO’s of companies are that way as well. They didn’t just wait for things to fall into their laps. They have the mentality of, for 1,000 no’s….there will be a yes. That yes will be worth all the no’s. The world will not stop turning if someone says no. That is like thinking..I want a big house Lord, but then not going to him and asking nor doing what it takes to get it! I think that is what Sexxyleggs was getting at.

    Foots I don’t think Maturity is associated with promiscuity. I believe the maturation process, especially in women, is often accompanied by a sense of self worth, confidence and reduced inhibitions. The latter is often misconstrued as being promiscuous, when in actuality it’s empowering.

    DuShawn MANY men have used the “you’re a mature woman, so come on!” line on me before. There are several instances on here today where “maturity” has been a prerequisite for questionable sexual attitudes and activities. We’ve been told over and over again that it’s empowering to be like that. What actually makes reduced inhibitions/promiscuity so empowering? Do men just say that to women to ensure a steady stream of azz? Is it not just putting yourself in bondage in a different way?

    CEO’s have a lot of credentials and experience to give back to their companies. It’s a give and get relationship and it’s fair. My point is “Only those willing to give shall dare to ask”. Asking just because you want something and not scared of no is pure insanity.

    Adult’s people understand that you got to give to get. Lovable people are those who got more to give and less to get and annoying people are those with less to give and a lot to ask. So homeless people are not annoying? What the difference when you ask without anything to give in return……
