It was a compliment!

When your guy friends find out that you write about dating, they start griping, ahem, I mean telling you all about their issues with women on the dating scene. I am charged with the mission to get their gripes out to single women everywhere!

It’s quite fine by me because I always want to get their perspective on dating and what it’s like for them. I try to remember what they tell me so that when a guy approaches me, I can be mindful of how to react.

One reoccurring male gripe is that some women don’t always accept their compliments graciously. Apparently, women often interpret a man’s compliment as game playing or pulling a slick move.

I urged my guy friends to check their tone and delivery. Sometimes, that really is the case. Some men can come off as that creepy, suggestive dude who is clueless about what women like. Further, it helps a lot when your eyes don’t drop to our breasts mid-sentence!

Maybe it all comes down to charm and charisma, though. Is it possible that a guy can deliver his compliment so effectively, that the target won’t realize that they are being tagged as prey?

Ladies, how do you receive compliments from men? Does it depend on the social setting, timing, and/or looks of the man? Do you ever compliment men that you meet or spot on the dating scene? How do they receive it?

Guys, do you find that women have a hard time accepting your compliments? How do you recover from this? Do you make efforts to avoid being stereotyped as a player? Have you actually strayed away from giving compliments to women anymore? How do you like to be complimented?

I think it is important to know the difference between a sincere compliment and a backhanded one. How do you distinguish between the two?

Passing out some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and some munchkins to the blog

I’ve stopped giving compliments all together. The females I know can’t seem to handle them or don’t feel good about themselves - thus thinking I’m making fun of them. Shame about that because I give good compliment.

I do agree that some people (guys and girls alike) exude the creepy vibe when giving a compliment. These folks can’t help the creep that is inside them and should cease and desist their creepy complimentary compliments all together. Either that or find a person that is equally creepy. Then they can hold hands and compliment each other creepily all day in the land of the creeps.

Q: Why don’t women compliment men more?

Okay so maybe this is weird.

I will tell a woman, when it’s appropriate that she looks really good. Something along the line of: “No come-on, but you’re an attractive woman.”

The reason I do it is 1) becuase it’s true, and 2) maybe hearing a good looking stranger tell you that you are attractive will make your day.

On the flip side, I like to be complimented as well (i.e. nice shirt, shoes, smile, etc), and I take it as the banal statement it was meant to be.

Personally, I will tell a woman that I find her attractive (if I do) and it’s not a come on, not trying to get at you, just said what came to mind.

So ladies, the next time a man proffers a compliment, don’t think “he just want the puddy” (And I mean you Staceye). Sometime an acknowledgement of that kind is simply an acknowledgement of facts.

Good Morning all,

I take compliments well..I mean I dont let it go to my head. I remain modesty and humble. No doubt I am a cutie and this is expected..but I’m more than just good youthful looks. I want to get complimented on my character then my cute looks.

I usually give compliments when I have had 2-3 shots of patron, 3 bottles of Corona….There is no tellIN what I am bond to say at that point.The most I will do is give eye contact and a soft smile. Riding a guys nuts is out of the question. Not only that it’s desperate. Damn the ratio!

Most of the time I feel as if a woman should lay back in the cut and let a man take the lead. But on the same note I think it’s okay to give compliments to guys…..DECENT ones…But being THIRSTY is never a good look!

Man o man am I struggling today

Binford some people (guys and girls alike) exude the creepy vibe when giving a compliment. I do agree with you here. A nice sweet simple compliment is okay but when you overdue it and keep telling me you love the way my forearm and bicep connects at the elbow, then you are in the CreepyMans RedZone.

Tip’s

  • When complimenting a female on her eyes, try not to stare at her cleavage as that will give her the impression you’re imaginging her ‘twins’ winking back at cha.

  • If you call yourself trying to do a quick discreet body scan, try not to stand there with your mouth open, rubbing your hands together & laughing like Dr. Evil like a pedophile in Pee-Wee’s playhouse.

    Some women may see it’s a desperate attempt to snag a man. Or they may be shy and feel the man is suppose to make the move.

    I feel like it’s a little of both. When I do compliment a man…it’s what I really mean. And the times I have done it (sober) the guys usually blush and give a shy smile.Don’t even get me on when I am buzzing, I will really say what’s on my mind!!! lol! But being over the top and thirsty….is a bit much. I have seen “When complimenting MEN goes to far” it looks so sleazy & a very THIRSTY!

    Morning All!!!

    Dan I do give men compliments! Sometimes they think I am trying to hit on them when I am not, but I find that men are very receptive to compliments. If a man can tell me that I am attractive why cant I do the same?

    As far as accepting a compliment, it does depend on the delivery. If you are sizing me up like a Porterhouse Steak, licking your lips and telling me how good I look then I wont be as receptive. A compliment should feel like…a compliment. You shouldnt feel like you’ve been violated! LOL

    People really overthink things nowadays. When folks compliment me, I accept it and say thank you. I have no problem complimenting men either. I prefer to compliment guys on the things they do (like picking a great restaurant) then just physical stuff. But if you are fine, you are fine and I’m going to tell you.

    If I think you are giving me a backhanded compliement or a vulgar or creepy one, I’ll tell you why I have a problem with what you said. It doesn’t usually change anything, but at least I’ve said my peace.

    I have a friend who has one of the largest azzes west of the Mississippi. Because of this, she will cuss a man out if he ever tries to compliement her on her backside. She’s gotten so many vulger and inappropriate comments, that she doesn’t feel any of them are sincere (and really can their be a sincere compliment on that part of your anatomy? LOL). Even if a guy is just trying to tell her she has a nice shape, she’ll bite your head off. It’s sad, because it automatically puts her on guard everytime a man approaches her and opens her mouth. She says she’d get a butt reduction in a heartbeat if it were possible.

    To some degree, I’m wary of guys who compliment me on my lips…but I try to give guys the benefit of the doubt on that one.

    Morning, everyone.

    “Guys, do you find that women have a hard time accepting your compliments?”

    My thoughts are that difficulty accepting compliments is not so much gender-related as it is the product of a person’s background and life-experiences. Even a person’s birth order can be a contributing factor.

    From the standpoint of one’s background, a person who grew up in an environment not conducive to affirmation and positive reinforcement will not feel comfortable receiving complimentary words because they’ve never received them before. From a birth-order standpoint, if you happen to be a middle-child (like me) it can be more difficult for you to receive compliments, because you’re so used to trying to please everyone and prove that you “measure up” to your younger and older siblings (who normally get all the attention simply by virture of their being first and last born.)

    All this is not to say that such behavorior cannot be changed. It definitely can. I’m just putting forth a different perspective than that of simply male/female.

    By 24 Single in Atlanta

    December 19, 2007 9:22 AM | Link to this

    Reading the comments just confirms why I am very selective in dating in Atlanta or really anywhere.

    As for compliments I can take them easily if they are sincere it’s the immature compliments that are the worst. Yes, I know what I look like and yes, THEY are real and YES I work out. So whats the point? You got anymore than that guys? Any substance, anymore interest than just the physical? Usually that is what is intended by most guys compliments, they want to get you into bed and think that that is the best way. For some women, desperate and with low self esteem maybe. But if a guy wants something classier then he has to be sincere and genuine.

    As a professional woman in a male dominated profession I get asked out often and more often than not I am disappointed within the first hour. They either think way too much of themselves or are so self centered they don’t need anyone else. I have only met a few that are genuine and looking for a relationship rather than a ‘hook up’. I’m not talking marriage here either, just a relationship or friendship. As for the guys who base their self worth and attractiveness on muscles or their flirting and come on lines…to most women, or mature women anyway that all is shallow and immature. But I guess there is always a women who will fall for that so why not try right? This woman is looking for mature, level headed men who are confident in who they are and not cocky. I know they are out there but it is getting very tiresome going through the jerks. I guess I will keep looking though, you just never know what the next date holds.

    Good morning blogsville.

    This shyt is getting scary. When you want to give a compliment just walk up and do so. As long as your not salivating or the chick doesn’t have her azz on her shoulder all should be fine. If you can’t even give/receive a compliment maybe you have a problem with the opposite sex that a therapist can help you with.

    Blow Me it would be worth it to get you drunk and watch you act a fool. Something tells me you your a riot out there.

    I was out with some female friends of mine one night at Taboo2. I was out to have a blast. This older gentleman came to the table and asked two of my girlfriends a question. Their attitude and responses were sooooo uncalled for…it was like he irritated them to no end. I felt really bad for the guy. When he left I asked them…what exactly did he do wrong? Was it the fact that he thought you guys were attractive enough to want to introduce himself to you? Or the fact that you stood out to him as someone worth approaching? I knew it was the fact that they felt he was too old and that he shouldn’t have even tried to speak to them, but after the conversation they understood that all he was really doing was playing them a compliment!

    I say all that to say that I’m very gracious when ANYONE gives me a compliment. I don’t spend much time wondering whether it’s sincere or not or evaluating the source. I’ll just take that it as someone trying to be nice and bring a smile on my face.

    I’ll give a guy a compliment if we engage in a conversation. I’ll tell him that he’s handsome if I think so or nice arms….it’s innocent and a nice gesture!

    Believe me when I say that though your witty quips on a blog may proport you to be the antiquated model of “masculinity” - that when real life comes in to practical application, there’s plenty of testosterone under this manhood.

    Now Wise and u ladies, is it vulgar to compliment a woman on her breasts if u think they sit on her chest perfectly?Just asking coz i want to come correct to u ladies.I see some nice cuped breasts all the time and dont know how to compliment.

    @24 Single in Atlanta I really agree with your comments regarding the dating scene here in Atlanta. I am also 24 and single and like you said have been disappointed at times. From the lying female pastor (yes Im putting her on blast) to the excessive casual daters, Atlanta has all kind of dating types. On paper, it looks great, the ratio of women to men is quite high, but once you cut through the fat, you really are left with one or two possibilities. I am sick of meeting women that only date football players, that have various hang-ups regarding a potential mate but who do not really have much to offer. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Atlanta, but my advice would be for people to know what they are dealing with and not to stay with someone just to have someone. Don’t be afraid to cut your losses and move on.

    Don’t give a compliment to a female coworker that you wouldn’t give a male coworker.

    Limit compliments to the obvious: ‘nice dress’, ‘you’re having a good hair day’, ‘you look fabulous today’. If you’re feeling platonic about the compliment, don’t give it, unless it’s to your date or SO.

    A compliment given in the appropriate spirit is a lot easier to accept graciously than a veiled attempt to leer or condescend.

    Ared I can identify with your well endowed girl. I go off when guys compliment me. Well…not all. If you say something pertaining to my body then yeah…I will snap on you. You get tired of dudes thinking that you are some T&A tramp who only has just that and no brians or class. I too have toyed with the idea of a booty reduction. I got it down some with diet and excercise. You can’t help if God gave you extra helpings in certain departments…but you should not be made to feel like a piece of meat on a platter because of it. Now if a guy says I look nice, smell good or compliments my outfit….then I will smile and thank him. There is a fine line between complimenting and downright disrespecting. And I think a lot of men do not know how to stay on the complimenting side.

    I do compliment guys..but then they think you want them. Why is that? Can’t I just tell you that you smell good or your outfit is nice, etc.? I agree with Slim…unless I come up and say I want you do do me 6 ways from Sunday…that does NOT mean I want to be cocked up in your bed!Some of them may not be my type…but if something is nice on him…I want to let him know that it is noticed.

    Exactly M…so on point!! sooo on point!

    On paper, it looks great, the ratio of women to men is quite high, but once you cut through the fat, you really are left with one or two possibilities

    Exactly that’s 10 to 1 is a bunch of bs FLUFF!!

    Here is my take on the 10 to 1…I am gonna break it down

    3 are die hard Lesbos so that leaves you with 7

    3 have 3 kids and 4 baby daddies! ( Do the math) so that leaves you with 4.

    1 is locked up…down to 3

    2 of them are bonafide whorish…passed through to a few of your homies that leaves you 1

    And that one …..you can’t see her because you too busy caught up with the other 9 to which you still haven’t figured out you are wasting your time.

    So by the time you get to her you are all bitter and played out and think she is nothing more than a big waste of time and something to do. So damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Usually you end up shooting yourself in the foot.

    Good Morning All,

    hmmm I will take your compliment in the spirt it is given. If you say… “You look nice today.” I will say thank you and smile.

    If you say something to the effect of… “What up shawty nice rack.” You will get the look that can cut diamonds.

    I absolutely beyond any doubt hate for someone to call me shawty or refer to my breast as a rack.

    Now as for complimenting guys. I compliment the ones I know. If it is a coworker, friend, SO and they are looking nice I will tell them. But I am not one to compliment random dudes on the street or in the mall.

    @ M and 24 To your respective points, the frustrations of dating in Atlanta aren’t limited to those in their 20s (not that either of you impied that.) Such frustrations are equal-opportunity and run the gamut of age ranges. I’m in my 40s and experience very similar frustrations when it comes to meeting a woman who is, as you put it, “mature” and “level-headed”. I would add to those attributes someone who is modest and humble, meaning someone who is not so confident in themselves that they think they don’t need anyone.

    I believe that in the context of a committed relationship, the biggest compliment anyone can give to another person is “I need you”. As singles, we need to be willing to risk being more transparent as opposed to trying to show we don’t need anyone for anything at anytime. After all, we were created to need each other, not the other way around.

    melo for me personally…NEVER compliment me on my lovely lady curves…too suggestive. Your eyes will tell it all anyway…women can tell when your eyes are roaming. That starts to unnerve me…trying to look a man in his eyes and you can’t because he’ stuck at your boobs!

    If you compliment someone and they take it the wrong way, it’s not your problem, it’s their problem. So, don’t worry about it. You said what you said with the best intentions. How they listened to it indicates what they were thinking regardless of who you are and what you said. Something from the past got activated and they’re responding to that.

    Melo a compliment to a woman that you do NOT know about any body part below her neck can be taken as vulgar….but then let me rephrase that…do not tell a woman she has nice d#ck sucking lips and not expect to get cursed out or kicked in the gnads!!! No breast, butt,legs compliments to be on the safe side! I have had a guy compliment my ankles before…which I thought was weird…until he says some women have “cankles” calves and ankles both the same size! That explains it! Guess I will keep working out so I do not develop a “Twaist” * t!ts and waist all in one*!

    Q: Why don’t women compliment men more?

    You must be a “Bair Underwood” class dude in order for them to compliment you..at all. Maybe you are just plain ugly, but believe you’re not (I am just being a prick)

    I want to get complimented on my character then my cute looks.

    Ish, we’re just trying to break ice/wo being called ‘a male w*******’. So we don’t know much about your character yet…yo crazy a$$ J/K’n

    2CPTG© It’s too early to be starting ish bruh…Let me wake up first

    Slim said while dry humping air Give me a complement…

    AmazonRed aka Ms.Lipsyes you do LOL

    Darrell I am proud of you bruh!! It must be hard confining your thoughts into one or two paragraphs at times LOL

    On subject (for once)

    Being a half way decent looking brother (a many steps away from being called a troll), I get away with murder time to time. Blow, on the real, if I know the woman, I will compliment a woman on her character in a heart beat. For me, I love putting smiles on women faces…about 80% of the time anyway.

    Beside, you never know what a person may be going through…I see nothing wrong with saying a few positive words and keep it moving!!!

    Just because Lips’n’Eyes’n’Slim’n’Foots (y’all are under 33, so I am straight lumpin y’all for no reasons) gave you the gas face, doesn’t mean a JustMe, Bre, Ms.Legg, or Tazz will

    You hit the nail on the head with this one! You are so right. Some of us women have been taught to be independent……(I love that song too!) Which is not a bad thing. It only becomes bad when you feel like you do not need a man or a woman. We are created to be together….so once you become TOO INDEPENDENT…You might one to stay that way because you truly aren’t and can’t have a good relationship. A relationship is a team effort. Being too independent and selfish will DESTORY that.

    I do compliment guys..but then they think you want them. Why is that? - Staceye, Slim This all depends on the environment w/ me. If we are at work, church or some formal type engagement then fine. But when I’m out and socializing and you come to me with that and I think you’re attractive then I may perceive this as a mixed message. No I will not start rambling off nasty lines to you, that is just wrong no matter what! However this comes off as you may have an interest in me so I would like to talk more to see where it goes. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Ladies for future reference when a man is out on the hunt do not interrupt to complement him and expect not to become the target. No offense but in a social club/ happy hour/ sports bar setting your “not-interested-sexually” compliment can be a complete waist of time.

    Morning folks!

    I have no problem giving or receiving compliments. Even if I know dude might have the wrong motive for the compliment, I’ll just say thank you and move on. For instance if a guy says ‘you have nice lips’ with a perv look on his face, I say ‘thank you’ and keep it moving. But if a man speaks to me in a disrespectful manner, I will either ignore him and give him a piece of my mind - it depends on my mood.

    Darrell - “From a birth-order standpoint, if you happen to be a middle-child (like me) it can be more difficult for you to receive compliments, because you’re so used to trying to please everyone and prove that you “measure up” to your younger and older siblings (who normally get all the attention simply by virture of their being first and last born.)”

    I’m a middle child and I don’t have that problem….anymore But you are right, I went through that when I was younger and busted my behind to get attention. Now I have NO problem receiving compliments, or complimenting myself which I do quite often, LOL

    To some degree, I’m wary of guys who compliment me on my lips…

    Amazon Girl, yeah! I was out with my friend and her boyfriend. He brought his friend, and dude was a pure perv. He drunkenly said “You have some purrrrty, sekshy (sexy) lips”. Big turn off.

    Now, my mom told me I had beautiful lips when I was about 14. From that day on, I was like “My mama say I got pretty lips!!” They were the only thing I really liked about my body until I was about 23. LOL!

    I’ll all for sincere compliments. Sexual comments don’t get far with me, but I’ll take a “you look nice” anyday. I get compliments on my eyes and smile a lot and always have (before braces and contacts), but comments about both of those I had to get used to. I hated my smile and the shape of my eyes through my early 20s, so I had to get used to the idea that they were the first things folks noticed about me and that those people thought they were pretty.

    I love compliments and take all of them in stride. From the sleaze just wanting to “get at it”, to the “sincere/nice” looking brother. I mean, I’m fine…. with a nice body. (Perfect tah tahs, I don’t have an onion booty, but its somethin back there, runner legs) soooo… it’s only natural to receive compliments. But, it took awhile for me to get here. When I was younger I def under the impression that all compliments were to “get at it”. AND, I’m sure it had something to do with my garden tool brother who made sure I knew the “game”.

    As far as giving, I’m guilty of not giving as good as I get. I do recall goin a lil to far once at Dugans. This dude was p****** fine as hell. And I made sure he knew it. He was hitting on me, but I wouldnt let him get far cause I was telling him how fine he was… (Ladies, tall, dark perfect complexion, cheekbones, basketball physique, and nice…) Anyhoo I think I scared him off. (Not that night, but the next. We were suppose to meet for drinks and he called and cancelled, then I did the next….) Uuuummmmmm… what were we talking about?

When you sqouze your azz in them jeans and that (oh,so delicious) 2 size to small shirt/bra, don’t get mad at the D for complimenting. Hell, you wore it, I’ma think it was on my behalf, so I will say thank you….in no uncertain terms.

    Whaddaya think?

    Meet a guy, engage in a special friendship, close friends, things happen. Intimacy rears it’s (ugly) head. Go at it a couple of times. Things get complicated. She can’t handle it and walks. He continues to come back to avoid total disconnection. He won’t let go but makes it clear he doesn’t want the intimacy. She makes it clear she can’t continue because of the intimacy. He continues to call and keeps coming back to keep the friendship alive. He tells her truly cares for her and refuses to walk away. Appears to be no hidden agenda but makes it apparently clear no more intimacy nor attempts to make any moves on her. He constant apologizes for all that’s happened and tells her how special she is and he don’t want to lose her, that he cares but again, it clear he can’t go back down that road. She can’t step back into the friendship because her emotions are too overwhelming. She’s very hurt, will not initiate any contact. He continues to do so because she won’t. She really understands he wants to keep his marriage but feels like she has the right to move on and doing what’s best for her. He’s not very understanding of that and continues to make attempts to keep the friendship alive. She becomes emtional and takes it out on him. He keeps coming back and says any other woman, he would have walked a good while ago. He says he wants to stay because he knows how beautiful of a person she is and only lashing out because of emotions, so he endures her times of being upset. HE’S MARRIED. WADDAYA THINK? Is he sincere? Should she be open to a friendship?

    Here take some advice from the resident homewreaker here..I am not sure if you are asking for info on the part of the lady or the man but Rell is right. The guy is saying it just about being friends and while that maybe true he is still keeping his option open for the hump and bump all in the name of friendship and caring. From her point of view(one I know all too well) she is cutting it off because it is going no where and when you care for someone that is no easy task. But cutting off all communication is the right thing to do especially if she knows it is going nowhere and is aware of how she feels about him and that she cant in all honest just be his friend without wanting the intimacy.

Personaly, i like the diversity of options and multiplicity of preferences among women.Some like married dudes because they like to compete with the married wives,others like to go with single guys etc.Married men need benefits too and a chance to prove they still got it!!! Its nice when u can have it and just walk away coz u place more value elsewhere, but just like nibling, once in a while. I cant put value in u, u value urself!! This is what makes America great.

    I don’t know of one man on here who will admit that seeing a nice womanly body is something altogether new to him, and therefore deserves commenting on whenever something walks by. Just act like it’s something you see all the time, even if you don’t, to avoid objectifying that stranger.

    Now…. If you’ve never seen azz before, by all means, walk up to that stranger and say (with a Sir Mix-A-Lot track playing in the background) “OH MY GOD!! BECKY, LOOK AT YOUR BUTT!! IT’S JUST SO ROUND, IT’S JUST LIKE, OUT THERE!!” and slap it one time for good measure.

    Can someone please explain why Keisha Cole’s family in on TV? - I saw it yesterday and actually watched it all the way thru for the 1st time. I think I lost a few braincells and dropped down a social class.

    Ladies I have a ques? for ya in relation to the above. In dating I know you have to compromise on things but I stay meeting the girls that are HOOKED on all things reality TV. As you can see I am totally against shows like these. If your guy friend will not sit thru your line up of Luv NY, Cole’s Fam, Charm School, College Hill (excluding Virg Ilse tho that was my joint!) Survivor & Tila… is he really being a jerk in your eyes? Is that grounds to start looking elsewhere?

    Whaddaya think Of course, the man is to blame also. There is enough blame to go around. But since you can’t control the actions of another, only yourself, you have control over what YOU do. If you ask the question while being a full participant, the answers will come back directed at you and what you should do to remedy the situation. Not that you’re the only one to blame, but you’re the only one asking what to do.

    All sin may be viewed the same in God’s eyes, but not Man’s. That’s why there are different sentencing guidelines for different crimes. You compare pre-marital sex between two adults in a committed relationship (or just two unattached adults going at it) to adultery, where there are vows and families involved, along with the very real possibility of everyone involved getting hurt from lies and deception, bringing home diseases, unplanned pregnancies, etc. God may see the same sin, Man does not. You shouldn’t use that example to justify your adultery to us.

Never been a fan of MJB myself because, at least in her earlier days, she tried too hard to live up to the hype that she was the next “Aretha” or “Anita B.” Nowadays, I’m just fed up with her talking about how she “ain’t go’n cry no mo’” and stuff like that.

    900K That’s not a dealbreaker to me. Folks have their own taste in TV watching. I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much time with somebody to where their TV habits got on my nerves like that though. Three solutions I can think of: 1.) Have two TVs, or 2.) Get out of the house more, or 3.) Get Tivo so somebody can watch it when they are by themselves later.

    I think I lost a few braincells and dropped down a social class.

    I have a friend who watched this show religiously cause he loves some Keisha, so I watched the finale episode. I agree with your above statement.

    But on the other hand, I’ve never missed an episode of America’s Next Top Model or Dancing With The Stars. Thank God for Tivo!

My man doesn’t have to watch football with me, but he better not try to stop me from watching it. All other shows I like can be recorded to view later.

    Speaking of reality shows, the only one I watch faithfully is The Biggest Loser I love that show…but my mate doesn’t have to watch it with me. As for the minstrel shows like I love NY and Flava of Love, I throw up a little in my mouth whenever I think of them. And while I haven’t watched Keyshia Cole’s show, I’m not mad at her for sharing her story and getting paid for it.

    What up Blog Said while speed blogging.

    Staceye Here is a Cyber standing ovation for your 10:11 post. It was direct, honest, and was very attractive.

    On-Topic When giving complements timing is everything, you can’t just walk up on a woman looking crazy and throw out anything.

    I accept compliments with a smile.

    I have also found that there are rules to complimenting women.

  • Keep compliments above the shoulders and below the knees.

  • Give one specific compliment and keep it moving, don’t stand there and stare.

  • Never walk up to a table of women while they are engaged in a discussion.

  • Be confident, and have a smile on your face.

  • Try to make eye contact first.

  • Although these may not work for everyone, they have worked for me.

    M Where does this female pastor attend church. I met one who said she preached and also was a prophetess (whatever that is) The one I met was not from GA, but lives here now.

    I’m not talking about the Eddie Long’s of the world. I’m talking about men with bodies so nicely proportioned, (wide shoulders, small waist, nice height, great butt) that you can feel them before you can see them. Their clothes hang just right on their frame. And you have a VERY good idea of what they look like undressed and so it’s not a surprise if you get a chance to see it. That’s not you, is it?

    Shoot, even I notice the Buffies of the world! You can notice and you can look, but why would you remark on something that obvious like doesn’t know? You’d do better acting like you don’t see it and talk to her like she’s a person first and not just a booty. You might actually get to see it live and up close with that approach.

    melo - I am cracking up at your assessment of Keyshia Cole. I agree. You see plenty of chicks like her walking around Oakland everyday. While I would never call her ugly, she’s definitely not exceptional and those thugged out tattoos and ghettoness just brings down her beauty.

    Besides, I don’t get the fascination our pop icons have with being blond. Yuck.

    I’ll take that into advisement. My old thing (when I was a youngster) was to say something like:

    “Your left eyelashes are banging, the right ones are cute too, but I had come talk to you about the left eyelashes. They drew me over here, so what’s up with you pretty eyes?”

    Just comment on the most off the wall thing like her shoelaces…

    Kym Here’s the difference between the Falcons getting beat down and the Steelers getting beat down: the Falcons were EXPECTED to lose, unlike the Steelers who, going into the Jags game had EVERYBODY healthy, their starting QB had a QB rating of over 101 and they were at HOME in the COLD and SNOW, which was “supposed” to be an advantage for them over a warm weather team like Jacksonville.

    So, what’s your excuse again? LOL!

    Now back to my regularly scheduled debate with Kym

    So you beat the Browns twice, you can still lose the division if the Steelers lose out and the Browns win out. That would be their 11-5 vs. your 9-7, so you can still lose. And don’t sleep on the Rams, either. They have Steven Jackson at RB PLUS two Hall-of-Fame WRs in Holt and Bruce. As I recall, the Jags threw the ball pretty well against your secondary, so you can think it’s a cakewalk if you want…

    But getting to what makes me tick (hobbies, interests, loves, ambitions, goals, talents) is a process that takes time. And to be willing to give that time to someone is significant for me.

    Likewise, someone taking the time to get to know me like that is an offer that I treasure, and return in kind.

    But for some, that I deem not worth it, or those that don’t want to put in the effort, they get the pretty smile, eyes, etc. Just the superficial.

    Official statement from Atlanta Falcons Owner and CEO Arthur Blank:

    Statement from Arthur Blank Regarding Discussions with Bill Parcells

    Late last night it was revealed to the media by a source outside the Falcons that we were close to reaching an agreement with Bill Parcells to lead the club’s football operations.

    Prior to the information becoming public, we had reached an agreement in principle with Parcells, and we met with him this morning to complete the contract. At that time, we were made aware by Parcells that he was considering a revised offer from the Miami Dolphins. He later informed us that he would not be signing a contract with us.

    We remain committed to looking at every option for building a championship-caliber team for our fans. I have stated we will leave no stone unturned in doing so, and this effort is one example of that. We gave it our best shot, and it didn’t work out.

    We will continue down the same overall path, proceeding with plans to hire a general manager and a head coach. We will identify and consider every strongly viable candidate for these positions, with the goal of hiring the best. Rich McKay remains President of the club and will retain general manager responsibilities until a new GM is hired.

    We will be making no further comment on the Parcells matter.”

Troy P is back though so that hair will be flying. My other issue is Ben holding the damn ball so long.

    I cringe during the opening credits when Keyshia is like “I’m just like you” — NO HEFFA YOU ARE NOT. I wouldnt trade my life for hers for all the money in fame in the world.

    JustMe If he were to leave his wife to be with you, would you have faith and trust in him?

    That man would have to go through some serious soul-searching and admit that he was wrong in order to restore trust. The ones that are like “I did it for love and I wasn’t happy anyway”, I think that those are the kind you can’t trust. The ones who are genuinely sorry (and apologize to everyone involved), take personal responsibility for the cheating (not that old “she made me look elsewhere”), and realize that they should have done things differently, I think they are salvagable.

    In any situation, lack of trust would always be a factor, especially if he was actively cheating with his mistress the whole time, vs. “I have feelings for you, but let me handle my business over here first with my wife and I’ll come back for you, to keep you from being drawn into drama”.

I don’t want to grow old watching tv and suddenly there’s a knock at the door. I answer it only to see “old age” coming to cart my wrinkled behind away. Hell no!

    The Truth the only thing I like about the Raiders is Justin Griffith - if he’d quit playing hard to get and propose, I might become a fan.

    note to all y’all Dunn lovers - he’s still my first love so back off!

    Hey guys I am back from a Dr.s appointment….I had a scare….I found a lump and had to have my first mammogram..OUCH! You know a man invented that contraption! Squeeze my twins senseless. They will be swollen now…luckily I have no man trying to touch on them now because he would get the back hand! But I am happy to report…I am all good. I was fooled into believing I would not need one until I was at least 40..but know I find that Breast Cancer is hitting the 20 somethings as well…there goes my “I’m too young” theory! take care of your twins ladies!

    Tazz I happen to own a red authentic Justin Griffith jersey which I bought during the Falcons ‘06 season. I was hoping to get it autographed, but he left for Oakland in the off-season. I really admired the guy’s work ethic and that he came to play week after week. Needless to say, I wasn’t “Mr. Happy” when the Falcons let him go after I’d dropped almost $300 on that jersey. :-/

    @ Beautiful. I’m so sorry love for your mishaps. You seem really bitter. Actually Foots, the 2nd paragraph of you 4:16 post is more like what happened:

    “but let me handle my business over here first with my wife and I’ll come back for you, to keep you from being drawn into drama”.

    Truth Nah, I’m from the A, but I usually make 2-3 road trips with the Falcons every season. Been a season ticket holder since 2002, so I follow ‘em at home and on the road. Hit me up next season if you need tickets for that one.

    @ Beautiful Why is it she that is the homewrecker? What about him? Typical female blaming the female that has been lied to. Honey Chile the home was wrecked when he stepped out. !!! Slow it up g-friend you beginning to show that Beautiful is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Got that Snow White mirror?
