Good vibes, bad vibes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A couple of my girlfriends and I recently went to an art opening that was an incredibly target-rich environment for us. We talked to several different men throughout the night and had a really good time mingling, although none of us found any winners.
Afterward, my friend Ally told Lisa that she gives “the no face” when she’s out mingling. Lisa protested, saying that she was only giving “the no face” to men who clearly weren’t interested in her from the get-go and were talking up other women. But it’s true. She makes a snap judgment about men if they don’t immediately gravitate to her when we’re out, determining that they’re not interested in her and that she shouldn’t encourage them in any way.
And I’ve seen other women and men do this, too, who just emotionally shut people off as soon as they walk up. Give ‘em a chance, people! It’s healthy to socialize and meet new people, even if you don’t end up in some whirlwind romance. You might even make a business contact or (gasp!) a friend! And besides, you may not be interested in them, but they may have a hot friend…
Do you ever give people “the no face” when you’re out in public and they approach you? How approachable do you think you are when you’re out? Would your friends agree with this assessment? Haven’t had anyone strike up conversation with you lately? Maybe it’s time to reassess the kind of vibes you give off!
If you’re not usually open to talking with strangers, what could you do to help yourself lighten up and engage in conversation more? Do you have friends who could also use help with their mingling skills?

Morning All
I’m not really too informed about this “NO” face you speak of. Even if a guy was about to approach me that I wasn’t attracted to, I wouldn’t be rude and make the NO face physically. Now, If you were to put my thoughts on speaker phone it’d probably sound something like:
“Oh, Hayo naw. Lawd Please please please let this dude not come over here. Ewww, he has 4 missing teeth…I hope his breathe don’t smell like how he look…a hot shiddy mess! Uh-oh, he’s smiling…”I’m invincible. I’m Invincible. He can’t see me…Aw shid, here he comes”….Hi
Either way, I think i’m pretty approachable…skallawag or not. I’ll at least have a short, meaningless, can’t-wait-till-you-walk-away conversation with a dude. (and with females on a good day….J/K!!!)

Bella seems your friends have mentally overstated their value. Tell them the world isn’t on hold until it gets a chance to meet them. This is defintely a lady thing, thinking the world revolves around them and anyone who doesn’t have the pleasure of meeting them is somehow less the person for not doing so.
Go out, have fun, meet people and enjoy yourself. Its not that serious.
Wow, is this 2008 or what?

LOL…I agree with slim. There’s no reason to give the *gas face. I’m flattered by any and every guy who approaches me because i consider it a compliment. I would never be rude…but, if I’m not interested I wouldn’t prolong a conversation. However, if he could make me laugh then he gets an extended pass.
More than not, men look for a sign..an opening…I found that if you avoid eye contact with a person they are less likely to approach you. Now, if you walk past them it seems they can’t help but to touch your arm or something….

Or as most men refer to the black woman as “mean mugging”.
But I do agree with Truthy. Just get out and have fun. Don’t be standing in a corner like a wall flower and then get snooty because guys aren’t falling at your feet. Be open and friendly. You must be friendly in order to attract a friend.

Good morning all. If I am out being social, I can’t see myself projecting what I call my “closed” look. My mom told me a long time ago to be open and friendly when I go out, and dance with whoever asks (at least for one dance), because you never know who’s watching. Men like to approach women who are having a good time. If he just watched you turn away the last five dudes, he’ll be less likely to approach.
On the other hand, I will put on my “closed” look if I’m out trying to handle business and I’m focused on that. When I’m not in the mood to converse, it shows clearly on my face. There’s nothing that says you have to be approachable 24/7/365 while in your daily grind. But when you’re out with the intent to have fun and mingle, that should be a little different.

Weekend Observation
Bad Date Idea No. 3,456: Car Shopping. It is so a man thing. My friend Doc and her husband are looking to buy a new car. So Saturday the two of them along with the man and I went car shopping. OH MY LAWD after the second dealership Doc and I had had enough. But the men…they were just getting pumped up. Test driving cars, wheeling and dealing…so a man thing. Don’t tortue your ladies like that.

Interesting phrase “no face”! I like people and I have to agree with LadyJ, …I’m flattered by any and every guy who approaches me because i consider it a compliment. I would never be rude. Life is short have fun. Hell you might see the same person you gave the “no face” to in a different environment and you’d be the one walking away scratching your head because you missed a golden opportunity of knowing someone!

The ‘no face’? Good Lord. It sounds like a defense mechanism designed to maintain the misapprehension that there’s nobody else in the world but you. Certainly, if a man isn’t interested in you personally and exclusively, they must be shunned. If they’re not your romantic conquest or somebody else’s, they’re nobody at all, isn’t that so?
I don’t recall people being quite so vacuous when I was in my 20’s. Maybe I just don’t recall, it was a long time ago.

Oh wait, I can think of one time I actually gave a chick the “no face”. Was like 22 and in a club in Charlotte. This chick approached me, no so subtly showing her cleavage, so I started not so subtly looking. She then says, “I’m about my money; if you about yours, then we can make something happen.” I’m like, “oh yeah and what’s your hustle?” She said, “I sell crack.” I gave her a combination of the “no face” and the “are you kidding me” grin. lol

What up Blog Said while totally understanding why women give the “no-face”.
I have seen dudes who were totally out of order when approaching a female. I probably have been totally out of order before, and I know some of my boys have. That is not the problem I have. The major problem I have is women who sit around all night with the “no face” or what I call the “Screw face”. No smile at all, seem to be unhappy, nose is twisted like she smells something stank. If it is like that stay at home.
I believe that is why they are approached by so many undesirables. The good guys don’t like personality conflicts. They like women who are happy and exude happiness on others.
Just my take on things.
What up Slim,Das, and Mo

Okay, this was the topic of discussion with me this weekend. I was of course complaining and both my sister and my best friend said that I have such a standoffish attitude when I am out and about and then I complain about no one approaching me. Well I never observed this myself, I alway thought that I was very approachoable. I dismissed that the reason certain men didn’t approach me was because shyt. I am over six feet tall. They will stare possibly all night but never say anything. So this weekend, I did things their way and low and behold I guess it worked because I relaxed a lot more and then when I noticed certain guys staring, I would opening flirt with them.

Yesterday was one you’ll never forget. In addition to receiving flowers at work, you came home to find a bath run with rose petals. After getting out of the tub, you find your boo has laid out on the bed for you a brand new outfit with matching shoes. He tells you to get dressed for a night out, destination unknown. You find yourself at the newest, hottest resturaunt in town where during dinner he presents you with a diamond earrings and necklace set. After dinner you are whisked back to the house for a night of unbelievable passion. The next morning, he leaves for work before you do and leaves his wallet. You grab for his wallet with the intention of dropping it off to him before you go to work. You knock the wallet off the nightstand and a receipt falls out. You pick it up and realize it is the receipt for your jewelry from last night. You also notice that the jewelry didn’t come as a set but was bought as separate pieces and in addition to the necklace and earrings you got, a $1500 tennis bracelet was also purchased……but you did not receive a tennis bracelet. Do you question your man about the whereabouts of the bracelet or let it go?

Morning all. I’m off today so I’m just peeking in for a moment.
Yeah, sure most folks need to lighten up. But folks also need to remember that you don’t always go out with the intention of meeting and conversing with strangers. If my objective is to just have fun with the one I’m with, I can give the “stop” sign to meeting new people. It’s my perogative if I want to miss out on missing a potential new contact.
But for the most part, if I’m at a public social gathering, I’m open to be social. That’s kind of the point. But I understand the days you don’t want to be bothered.
Have a good day everyone.

Girl, sometimes, you have to bring your own fun in the door with you. Believe me, if I made the effort to get up, get dressed and get beautiful, I’m going to make the most out of it. I’m going to find something up in that camp to amuse me.
One time, in the Bahamas, me and a couple of ladies I met there were talked into going to a club that was supposed to be hot. We get there and there are only four people there, and one of them was the DJ and we were the other three. I had a good time even then. Had the whole dance floor to myself.

here’s the deal ladies
I always feel like you get back what you give off. Granted it’s such a cliche, but it usually works( there are alwas exceptions). If you go somewhere with an open mind, and good attitude, you’ll probably meet someone along the same lines. Too otften you see women at afterwork spots, lounges on the weekends etc and the behavior is usually the same. Group of 3 or more enter spot. Search area for a couch/sofa cause we KNOW ya’ll hate to stand too long. Head to the bar OR order the 5 dollar afterwork happy hour apple martini/cosomo special, as well as some calamari, fries, wings etc. Then these same sistas sit and continue to sit looking around as men enter. Probably good looking, professional men, some of whom could be a*****, but some who are also stand up dudes. Sound familiar? Guess what, that’s not a way to meet us!! It’s sooo hilarious to see this because it happens everywhere and then folks wonder why no one is meeting anyone else. Try getting up, walk around, leave your “crew”, head to the dance floor. Oh and don’t forget to smile throughout and say hello. Yes it does help and men will respond. Once again there may be a jerk or two, but mingling is a weeding out process. Men like women who are approachable, easy going, fun spirited. No need to throw in the usual employed, ambitious yada yada because that goes w/o having to be said. Bottom line is there are good dudes all over. You just have to notice them. And please get up and mingle( if u already don’t). Your “crew” won’t keep you warm at nite when it’s 20 out.

Countless times I have heard ladies talk about too many women at events in ATL which is completely ridiculous. The notion that there arent enough men is even spreading to the thoughts of men….Ladies, all you need to do is look like your having a good time. That positive energy will bring more guys to you. Guys are ALWAYS on the lookout so you should be showing your “peacock feather”, ready for attraction. That means PERSONALITY and CONVERSATION not just T&A. Believe it or not, every woman has T&A so it wont get you very far with the “right” guy.

Beautiful Honestly it is time to change venues. Stop putting on your Friday’s best going out to a club to find what you can’t see, because of loud music, low lights, and cigar smoke. Dress down and hang out at different places. You will be surprised at what you find. You will also be surprised at the fact that most guys who dress well (shirt and tie) all week to work don’t want to wear that type of attire on the weekends. Also you will find someone more to your taste at spots like this. You will also find out the type of guy does not like you.
I heard or read this somewhere before but it says “I went out looking for friends and found none, I went out being a friend and found them everywhere!”

If I’m out and witness the No Face I’ll usually approach the woman in question. My thought is not to try and get at her but only to see if I can bring a smile to her face. In my experiences the no face is usually only a front and will disappear when engaegd in a non-hostile conversation. For most women the No face is just the game face. When approached in a respectable manner they will find themselves in the middle of a good conversation in no time. However if the No face is just that then I keep it moving and have no problem with them wallowing in whatever mood they are in.

Ticked If there is a PINK elephant in the room, acknowledge it. That being said, you have to examine your relationship with him. Are there other things, your not mentioning here? What does your mind NOT your heart tell you it is?
A. If this is the first thing that has not added up, I wouldnt mention it at all. I would do my BEST to not allow it to effect my attitude. I WOULD open my eyes a little wider while being careful not to assume anything.
B. If this is just the Biggest/Most recent thing in the relationship that has made you wonder, I would 1st be honest with myself about my relataionship, & then I would make him aware that things arent adding up. By the time I would have that conversation with him, I would have already made up in my mind to pull back somewhat.

Surely someone must have noticed and become as disgusted as I am with the phenomenon of men in ATL not only aiming for women out of their league but actually having the nerve to feel entitled to these women.
Let’s keep it real and not try to pretend there’s not a difference in social stock/standing/marketability of certain folks based on looks and personality.
Simply put: if you look like a troll, you can’t afford to have the personality to match; this is a fundamental fact of like that such men fail to grasp. I won’t even go into the double standard of how a “plain-looking” woman is never really permitted to pursue a good-looking man, while a buttcrackalackin oogly man feels that he’s able to talk to any woman that strikes his fancy. I have stories but I don’t feel like going into them because it’s too late and I’m tired. Suffice it to say that it’s frustrating and anger-inducing but nowadays I just pay them no mind

There were two guys on there that had dated the same girl and one asked how is it the other managed to remain friends with her while it was impossible for him. The guyed stated that because they were never in love it is easy for them to be friends. My friend agreed with that. She says she has never been able to be friends with the ones she was in love with. She says it is too hard. But she is friends with a couple that she never became attached to. Interesting, however true.

Now the same chick that says she doesn’t want an unattractive dude to approach her will overlook the physical if dude has money. Not only is she stank but by all definitions a true ho. We don’t have to debate this on the blog. The rest of your life will prove my point.
One more thing. If your near 30 and still banking on your looks to land you a man you better start eating puddy. Your stunning good looks and to tight azz have gotten you everything its going to give you in life. From here on out you gotta back it up with action. And we all know most of you are some empty vessels in distress. Better sart sending out an SOS

Ok Blow You posted a page full, but here is the truth is at certain venues in Atlanta, such as clubs.
The problem is that most people who enter them believe the hype. We as men believe that if I meet this fine chick, and say the right thing she will go home with me tonight let me hit. Not only that but I have so much game that she is actually a quality chick who has some subsistence about her and I will actually like her for her mind. That is just not going to happen.
And most women think that they will meet the tall, handsome, baller who is nice to them and hasn’t hit ever other girl in the club, and will take care of them and their kids and their momma. And makes them all weak inside, while giving them everything they want, even put up with all their shyt. And stand beside her while she is going through her changes. Guess what, That’s not going to happen.
So whatever you want to happen, will, but not at the current speed of satisfaction that people expect. Just slow down, be a true friend (through the good and bad), and see where it goes.

how grown men date and choose our long term mates
That sounds like a blog topic right there. I get confused myself about that. I know one dude who married a chick but was still in love with another, one dude who married a woman who picked a fight with him on their FIRST date because she was beautiful then divorced her six months later, the same dude married another woman 10 years his senior, with a son 10 years younger than him (he’s right in the middle) and is unhappy because he knows that he should have gone in a different direction, but doesn’t want to be divorced twice.
I know some dudes who were with incredible women for years, then left them and were engaged to other women within six months. (They say that when they finally got ready to marry, they chose the next person available). And still, I know some that have found the right women, beautiful inside and out, but can’t stay faithful and continuously risk their families for some azz.
So yeah, it would be very informative to know how grown men make their decisions about who they choose to spend the rest of their lives with. The sooner the better.

Let me take this quote and break it down.
Yes when a dude is in their 20’s that is exactly what they look for and more power to them. What else are they suppose to look for if they are not ready for marriage minded mandy?
Awww the old “Good Woman” claim. According woman there are 1000’s of “Good Woman” on each and every corner,mn just can’t see them. In case you haven’t heard this before. YOU DON’T GET TO DECIDE YOUR VALUE TO ME!!! I CHOSE WHAT IS GOOD OR VALUABLE IN MY LIFE!
Well since all men have or had a mother, it would be irrational to believe that man don’t have a baseline by which they judge women. Just because you don’t fit the qualities a dude is looking for in a lady doesn’t means he doesn’t know what he wants. It just means he doesn’t want you. That’s all. Again, your worth to someone else is determined by that person. You don’t get to tell me that you are worth 100 billion if if all I see is $4.

As for you, based on what you’ve stated before I’m sure you are a nice self respecting woman. I don’t think anyone intended to draw out that ‘I am woman, I make my own $$’ speech that you felt inclined to give.

Footsy first off we’re all guilty of selling properties we dont really possess. Most of the dudes aren’t as fearless as they’d like you to believe, or as well endowed mentally or physically. Most womens chests don’t sit up quite the same way with out that push up bra and when she gets home she cries alot more than you’d care to believe. With that being the case, its no wonder people make the decisions based on false information and when that information comes forward adjustments are made, aka divorce. A grown adult will make a desision not based on your current waistline, which statistics say will expand after you get maried but by what you bring on a daily basis. Thats why a pleasant woman has way more value than some double d’s. Ok, not way more but a little more. LOL
Really its simple. Sit down and write out what you want in life and what you can offer for what you want. Be realistic and it should be pretty evident why some people are exactly where they are. Be truthful. Kids, family, home, peace money, whatever it is. Then align your thoughts and actions with what you want and you’ll be amazed at how fast things will come to you. Because as totally fugged up as dating is there is no better time in the history of the world to pull off a successful relationship, if you’ve got you’re nuts screwed on tight.

Grown folks need to stop and really consider that there is a strong possibility that you are not the “type” that the type you are targeting is looking for. A strong possibility.
So while you out cutting others down just know that you are on the down scale of some one else.

Blue I can proudly stand up and say HAYO NAW it ain’t like that. You must read the Surgeon General’s Warning i told QueDawg about: tight clothes may be hazardous to the CT. All jokes aside, if i were a dude and saw a chick dayum near dying from tight jeans…(just imagine how her cootie feels) I wouldn’t want to hit it…all she could do is slob my knob while I flick the nips for added extra effect. That shyt needs to breathe and spraying Vickie Secretions down there is not going to cover up that smell once you get to monkeying around up in it…hence the cold case file of Baby Powder Bandit..Who is still at large. Beware, she’s armed with smelly phat cootie.

Blow Job your missing the whole point of this discussion. Unattractive or not it shouldn’t offend you if someone has the decency to say hi or speak to you. If so your riding way to high on that horse. Don’t worry tho youngin, over the next few years your going to learn a few things about life because it sure is a humbling experience. LOL

See Truth, I asked that question to give you the benefit of the doubt. It’s ok you haven’t gotten around to answering but here’s my observation. This blog is so insular and tho there are a variety of female ‘voices,’ the focus of response & reply is often only on a FEW - and usually they’re type salty. Since they’re seen as negative/male bashing/ or just deemed ignorant by several male posters become the comments are first negated & then become the focus and basis of many blanket, stereotypical statements about women. Now Atlanta as a whole has a certain vibe when it comes to how females comport themselves ~ and believe it or not, lots of other females raise their brow @ some of the shenanigans. Again, these are the actions of some, and not representative of all or even the majority, but it’s easier to see how you’ve come to that theory. Now if this is the sum of your experience as a whole—in all your life’s travels, then it’s sad that true well rounded womanhood hasn’t really been displayed enough in your presence. But just run a check to ensure that it’s not your refusal to see the whole spectrum cuz you’re insisting on zeroing in on token few.
Seems like sometimes when the females make comments that either align w/ what some of the guys say/think, it’s glossed over or looked at skeptically like it’s just being said to ‘get points.’ Almost like the possibility won’t even be entertained that 90% of the women aren’t just the most foolish creatures.
So don’t forget about the times when positivity was in the air but instead of seeking that out, a spark of negativity was fanned and allowed to color your view.
Sorry, y’all. I don’t have a project to work on today.

I’d like to see all of us do this one day. There are plenty of people who know exactly what they want, and it’s quite reasonable, and it still eludes them. I don’t think it’s that simple, especially when you throw God’s timing into the picture, and who can pin that down?
Still, it’s a good exercise if we all could put pen to paper about what we wanted and what we were willing to offer to the other person AND not judge each other about the outcome.

.02 the women i’m exposed to on a regular are stand up women. My sister, my neighbor (who bakes for me all the time) my ex gf, female friends. My friendship isn’t based on the fact their a dimepiece or could suck start a leaf blower. First and foremost their just good people and women secondly. If one was fine as hell but a terrible person I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with her.
Foots most people will focus on what they want and overlook what they have to offer for it. Its like a chick saying I want a family but I act like a bytch everyday. Who wants to be around that? Its not consistent. If you want a husband or wife or kids prepare yourself for those duties and watch someone step into the role. When everything aligns the person will magically appear. Also, the way you act today is due to the conversation you have with yourself. Change the conversation and you change the end results.

i’m swiss My bad dog. I just keeps it real. But what I don’t get is, why dudes that constantly mess wit chick’s that wear everything tight, wanna then go around talking about chicka has the sardine drawer’s. Now true, some chicks have chemical imbalances that cause their scent to be a little unsettling…but a women has a natural cleaning system down below. SO all that perfume soaps, lotions, sprays are not made to go under the belt. It messes with the natural flow of things. Just an FYI fellas…Also, even you dudes body chemistry can throw a chicks hole off.
Let’s say you and your girl raw dog it up…then you go and sleep with some other chick. Now her chemistry is not in your skin…then you go back and raw dog your girl again…next thing you know you wondering why she smelling like old fish grease. It was YOUR fault.

As is evident here, dating is a hard egg to crack with all these defense mechanisms clouding people’s judgment. Take the person you’re interested in and just talk. A person’s true “heart” will reveal itself pretty quickly if you can get the scent of puddy from under your nose!

You’d be surprised. Lately I’m coming into contact with the super-freaky, got-my-own-money, tired-of-bein-good-to-brovas, kind-hearted type chicks. But I’m lookin’ at ‘em sideways ‘cause I’m having problems with some of their moral values. Now I’ve pulled some capers, but some of these broads got me way beat. LOL I guess I’m easy to talk to is why chicks tell me the things they tell me.

How old are you again? You are missing the whole discussions…I am not mean to anyone who speaks to me. If he is blind deaf and retard…I WILL still offer him a my southern bell charm.

Truth So let’s do that, let’s put it all out there one day. I’ll bet we can make matches on this blog with that. Put out there what you want and what you’re willing to offer. Shoot, send each other pictures if need be, but girls, don’t take a picture in a bikini or looking over your shoulder so your azz is in the picture and guys, don’t take a picture standing in front of your house or car. We’ll see if the issues are truly internal or if it’s just as simple as “the right one hasn’t come along yet”.
