Sequins and sweatpants

Last weekend an acquaintance of mine came into town for her bachelorette weekend (yes, people, it’s that time again! Get out your rice for all those weddings coming up!). As we were getting ready Friday night to eat and go dancing, the bride-to-be hesitated over her choice of blouse. She surveyed the rest of us, who were dolled up and ready to go. “We just don’t go out that much anymore,” she said, referring to herself and to her fiancée.

Naturally. When you become seriously involved with someone, many of your dates will involve a marshmellowed hot chocolate while cuddling in sweatpants on the couch in front of the TV. It’s a normal pace for relationships to take once things become more intimate.

Or maybe my bridal friend wasn’t supersocial to begin with, and now that she’s engaged sees no reason to go out anymore. Whatever the case, she didn’t look too rusty out there on the dance floor!

On a personal note, I hope finding the love of my life one day doesn’t mean that my dance shoes go to the back of my closet. Either with him or with girlfriends, I would still like to occasionally go out for a tasty dinner and a lively salsa club.

What’s your preference? Are you still a party animal once you become serious with someone? Does it depend on the person you’re seeing? Has anyone ever questioned your desire to go out and have a good time while seeing them?

If you’re more of a homebody by nature, have you ever been in a relationship with someone who was a social butterfly? Did it put a strain on your relationship in any way, or did you find a way to compromise on how you spent your time together?

“If you’re more of a homebody by nature, have you ever been in a relationship with someone who was a social butterfly?”

I’m definitely more the “homebody” type, so I doubt that a woman who’s more of a “social butterfly” would be very happy with me, to be honest with you. By “homebody”, I don’t mean I’d rather stay home all the time, it just means that in a relationship I like to do the simple things, that’s all. Although, it is cool just sitting back in my master bedroom watching a movie on my wall-mouted HDTV. It’s kinda like having my own little movie theater. :-)

Good Morning All,

I am pretty extroverted but at the same time I am a bit of a homebody. I did all my clubbing from the age of 14(Sharon’s-teen club) to 30(the last time me and my friend went to club mirage for the chippendales) You know you have outgrown the scene when you are falling asleep at the club. So now I am more of the nice movie, dinner, good conversation and a sensuality session if the mood arises. I dont mind an the occassional get together with family and friend(I will dance then)But give me a good quiet evening, or a lively football game and snacks..Done.

Jk but not really. No tell him he cool. Then you give him the line that you know he has heard before because he is just that type of guy. *You cool, but I just don’t like you likeTHAT

I am in between, depending on what season it is. Summer/Spring = Social butterfly. Winter/Fall = Homebody. I love to hang-out with my girl/guy friends and my sweet-heart. I wouldn’t mind chilling at home with my sweet-heart as long as he doesn’t become custom to it.

Just because you are in a relationship doesn’t mean you have to give up any kind of social life. You can find other couples to socialize with. Interaction with other people is good for a relationship.

After 2 cups of coffee…

My preference would be to have a balance as with anything in life. I would not like to be with someone who feels like they have to be running the streets, nor do i want a partner that you have to shoot bullets at their feet to get them out the house. However, out of the two extremes, the “can’t-get-out-the-house” dude would drive me insane. I was interested in a dude once that I didn’t initially know he was Wiggety Wack!..but my attraction to him soon turned to irritation because he never wanted to do anything. He was one of those folks who would entertain the idea of going somewhere but when it came down to it, he’d always opt to stay home.

i’m a homebody, but don’t mind letting my hair down sometimes and painting the town. i can fall asleep in da club like kym, but if i’m having a good time i won’t be home until 4ish in the morn. also, i’ve been noticing that i want to go to unusual places like the trap. is it because i’m ready to explode? lol.

Good morning ev1.

I’m with Darrell. I’d be more the homebody than the social butterfly. My idea of fun isn’t the club but hitting the road for a weekend or 1 day getaway. The club thing just isn’t happening for me. I do love, however, get togethers and card/game parties. If I did go tho I wouldn’t take my woman with me. You go to the club to look at women, why bring one with you?

Weekend roundup: Another quick getaway is Big Canoe up 400. Nice spot. Gated and guarded resort with condo’s where you only have to being food. There’s a lake too. I went a few years back and had a great time. If anyone goes hit the hills where the wealthy have their weekend homes. Wow.

Sexy tea bagging is where a guy sits on your face with obvious bodyparts in your mouth. A demonstration is being set up for noon. We need a volunteer.

Staceye we’ve been pretty friendly these last few days. Lets seal our friendship with a hug. (The Truth holds up his arms knowing if she walks into them he’s going to grab her azz and get the shyt slapped out of him. So what, it’s worth it)

Happy Friday Everybody!!!

I’m usually the more adaptable one in relationships, so that means I’m usually down to do what he’s more into. If he’s a homebody, we’re at home. If he’s a social butterfly, we’re out. I’m actually cool with either.

My mom was a social butterfly and my dad a homebody so when they got married her dancing days were over (my dad doesn’t dance, I have proof on my debutante ball photos, lol). She could have probably gone out with her girls more, but what fun is that when you want to go out with your fella? But she figured giving up late nights at the club was worth it for what she had at home, especially since she had all 3 of us within the first 5 years of their marriage. They were busy. LOL

By abc

April 4, 2008 9:15 AM | Link to this

It might be more a function of the things I/we enjoy doing than a difference of social butterfly vs. homebody. The things we go out for tend to be activities with each other the same as staying home with Haagen-Dazs and a movie: galleries and shows, museums and exhibitions, dancing and concerts, hiking and getting out into nature, antiquing, travel, restaurants. I don’t see our habits of staying in or going out changing that much as far as one beginning to outweigh the other.

Truth I’m with you on the travelling thing…when money & time permits. I haven’t been to a club in months & I’m not bothered by that at all. I’d rather do other things like hit up a comedy show, go to a restaurant i’ve never been, bowling..etc. But sometimes I feel like doing nothing but lounging around in my sweats & wife beater, blanket on the couch eating a bowl a fruit, drinking a glass of wine, watching a good movie while I have my legs laying across your lap, while you rub my feet…and 3/4 way thru the movie i start to doze off. ha ha ha

Darrell they’re not actually calling off the higher temps theory. They’re really just saying this year the temp isn’t going up. On avg it is. Personally, I hope he’s wrong. He did say tho that he’s put his foot in his mouth many times.

Slim really it doesn’t cost that much for a quick weekend. Two or three hundred bucks and you can really have a mini vacation. Plus if it’s an hour or four away you get to spend time talking and reconnecting. The best part for me was watching chicks get all excited. They’d make sandwiches and bring food and drinks. Let’s you see a woman in a whole different light.

BTW, when you said rub your feet I threw up in my mouth. Have you shaved your toes yet?

I guess I’m 50/50. Meaning i’m usually out and about but I’m real cool in the house too. I just don’t do clubs. Whst’s the latest dance anyway? (The Truth doesn’t want to be seen in a club doing the robot)

I like to have fun and that doesn’t necessarily mean having it out on the town. I enjoy entertaining in my home, watching movies, going out to hear poetry and live music among other things. I wouldn’t consider myself a “partier” per se, but I certainly don’t have an aversion to it. Whenever friends come into town they want to enjoy the Atlanta nightlife and the older we get the more and more that looks like a nice dinner, good conversation, a movie, or more conversation over coffee and dessert. 30 is the new 50…ha!

We did simple stuff like play jenga…of course taking shots for whoever lost…we played twister…of course taking shots for whoever lost…we chilled in the hot tub…of course sipping while we were dipping. LOL! We went white water rafting for the first time..but aside from being in those freezing azz waters, i had a good time when we all played laser tag. LOL

Thanks for explaining “tea bagging.” I now understand the concept. Guess my age showed on that question.

I enjoy socializing whether it’s at home or out, i.e., dinner, movies walking in the park. I like people around me. To sit and cuddle and watch a movie w/my SO may just make me sweat down below (LOL). Small things like that are breathtaking to me.

My preference is to go out a few nights a week and do something. Stuff like bowling, card nights, friend get-togethers are the stuff I enjoy and usually “couple friendly”. But I don’t mind occasionally sitting in.

I just ever want to be a TV/Movie addict - that’s when a couple jumps the shark!

Right now I’m smiling Taking advantage of this moment Cause there might not be another soon Holding on to memories like roller coaster handle bars tightly cause I’m slightly off my rocker—But to you I may appear to be your average joe But little do you know that even joe got problems that he gots to joust with Floating in this game of life Despite how out of place you may feel In this race oh you just can’t quit Ain’t that a b***—that being heat I’m on the beat like cops Only cultivate the stable dirt when I skeet my drops No concentrating knocking other n**** out the box Why?—Cause in a sense See we all be kind of fly Just can’t be scared to spread your wings Head to better things Maybe the mockingbird and nightengale they want to sing—keeping this thing alive To the table’s what we bring We like hailstorms and blizzards in the middle of the spring Extraterrestrial

(Out of this world—Things like that—Yo)

SpottieOttieDopalicious” (feat. Patrick Brown)

[Hook] Damn damn damn James

[Pat Brown] Dickie shorts & Lincoln’s clean leanin’ checking out the scene Gangsta boys Bigga’s lit ridin’ out talkin’ s** N**** where you wanna go? You know the club don’t close ‘til four let’s party ‘til we can’t no more Watch out here come the folks

[Dre] As the plot thickens it gives me the dickens Reminiscent of Charles a li’l disco-tech nestled in the ghettoes of N****, USA via Atlanta, Georgia a li’l spot where young men & young women go to experience they first li’l taste of the nightlife Me? Well I’ve never been there, well perhaps once But I was so engulfed in the Old “E” I never made it to the door you speak of hard core while the DJ sweatin’ out all the problems and the troubles of the day While this fine bow-legged girl fine as all outdoors lulls lukewarm lullabies in your left ear competing with “Set it Off,” in the right But it all blends perfectly let the liquor tell it “Hey hey look baby they playin’ our song” And the crowd goes wild as if Holyfield has just won the fight But in actuality it’s only about 3 A.M. and three n**** just don’ got hauled off in the ambulance [sliced up] two n**** don’ start bustin’ [wham wham] and one n**** don’ took his shirt off talkin’ ‘bout “Now who else wanna f*** with Hollywood Court?” It’s just my interpretation of the situation

[Hook]

[Big Boi] When I first met my SpottieOttieDopalicious Angel I can remember that damn thing like yesterday The way she moved reminded me of a Brown Stallion horse with skates on smooth like a hot comb on nappy a* hair I walked up on her & was almost paralyzed her neck was smelling sweeter than a plate of yams with extra syrup eyes beaming like four karats apiece just blindin’ a n**** felt like I chiefed a whole O of that Presidential My heart was beating so damn fast never knowing this moment would bring another life into this world Funny how s** come together sometimes [ya dig] One moment you frequent the booty clubs & the next four years you & somebody’s daughter raisin’ y’all own young’n now that’s a beautiful thang that’s if you’re on top of your game and man enough to handle real life situations [that is] Can’t gamble feeding baby on that dope money might not always be sufficient but the United Parcel Service & the people at the Post Office didn’t call you back because you had cloudy p** So now you back in the trap just that, trapped Go on and marinate on that for a minute

Having a relationship with someone is a balancing act. You give a little and, hopefully, get a little. When hubby asked me out for he first time, it was to go to a late-nite breakfast after a nite of working at a bar. We have been going out to eat for special occasions ever since. Most of our time is spent at home for budget reasons. Because of this, we are always sure to compliment each other for small things done well. It makes you appreciate each other more and keeps the “home fires” burning. I love to do little things to surprise him - a special meal, weed the garden, take out the trash, bake a fresh loaf of bread, etc. They don’t have to cost a lot to mean a lot. They just have to come from the heart. This has worked for over 40 years, and, God willing, will work for over 40 more.

Good Morning All

Old cold Popeye’s chicken and Church’s chicken to coat everyone’s stomach for M/D 2020 and a 40 OZ of HOT COLT 4-5……Oh yeah 8ball for the ladies!!

I am back from my unfortunate vacation…..But I am feeling very amp’ed today.

Yes…I would want someone who is mix of both. Someone who can entertain at home and enjoys the social scene as well. He needs to be diversed and more importantly himself. Keeping you life together after you are in a relationship is a very important thing. I think it’s annoying and irritating to become dependent on you r SO…It shows a lack of character and self confidence. Stand on who you are no matter who you are with, respectfully. I think I can respect a Man better if he continued to make time for the things he enjoyed doing outside of being with me. Create some balance.

Truth Keep my name out cha mouth! I know you love the way it taste…lol But I’m going to need for you to stop saying my name. I see I’m on your mind even when I am not here. But you going to have to get over that. Oh yeah did you get a chance to check out the dentist? Get help for that! lmao!

Thank you D.J. Rell I needed it that. Yesterday I got home early. I was watching BET. Something that I never do. I seen the video for that song and dayumit people, I almost went back to Black. (He reminds me so much of Lil’ Wayne) I had a moment. I had the phone in my hand. Then Ashanti came on and I cried. It was too dayum cloudy to get on the bike, so I called my stylist and went and had my hair done, eyes done and just relaxed. I needed a dayum drink after that.

The last paragraph from the article on Premarriage checklist stuck with me:

“No one can be a perfect mate and no one can choose a perfect mate. God created marriage to help us mature and grow and He knows every couple will have their share of struggles. But it is tremendously important that we are aware of as many of our areas of compatibility and incompatibility before marriage. And when the potential problems are clearly too great to enable a couple to build a fulfilling, enjoyable, long life together, we need to wait until God leads us to a compatible mate.”

How many us are willing to wait on God to lead us to a compatible mate

The Day the Penis asked for a Raise

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

  • I do physical labor.
  • I work at great depths.
  • I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
  • I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
  • I work in a damp environment.
  • I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
  • I work in high temperatures.
  • My work exposes me to contagious diseases.
  • Sincerely,

    P. Niss

    The Response:

    Dear P. Niss:

    After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:

  • You do not work 8 hours straight.
  • You fall asleep after brief work periods.
  • You do not always follow the orders of the management team.
  • You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
  • You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
  • You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
  • You don’t always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
  • You will retire well before you are 65.
  • You are unable to work double shifts.
  • You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed assigned task.
  • And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.
  • Sincerely,

    V. Gina

    I don’t mean to disregard your feelings But I think he’s a fool He don’t know how sensitive you are And baby that just ain’t cool I’m just glad I can be there for you When you need a helping hand Deep inside my heart from the start I know I should’ve been your man

    Lay down and tell me what’s on your mind What exactly did he do to make you cry this time Well I will be your comforter I will make it right He cast a shadow on your heart and I will bring back your light

    I will comfort-Comfort for you I will comfort you-Comfort you I will comfort. Lay down and tell me what’s on your mind What exactly did he do to make you cry this time Well I will be your comforter I will make it right He cast a shadow on your heart and I will bring back your light

    Jacky gonna be a football star Dianes debutante backseat Of Jackys car

    Sucking on chili dog Outside the Tastee Freeze Dianes sitting on Jackys lap He`s got his hand Between her knees

    Jacky say, hey, Diane Let`s run off behind a shady tree Dribble off those Bobby Brooks Let me do what I please

    Say, uh Oh, yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill Of living is gone

    Say, uh Oh, yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill Of living is gone They walk on

    Jacky sits back Collects his thoughts For the moment Scratches his head and Does his best James Dean

    Well, you know Diane, we oughta Run off to the city Diane says, baby You ain`t missing nothing

    Jacky say, uh Lyrics courtesy Top40db. Oh, yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill Of living is gone

    Oh, yeah They say life goes on Long after the thrill Of living is gone

    Gonna let it rock, let it roll Let the Bible Belt Come and save my soul Hold on to sixteen As long as you can Changes come around real soon Make us women and men

    Oh, yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill Of living is gone

    We just don’t go out that much anymore,”

    I think that is probably my biggest fear. I am an extrovert, outgoing, and social person. I do like to stay home, read, and relax, but the key is to have balance. I am enjoying the bachelor life and am sure I will grow out of it. I do like to go out and definately be in the know. I would hate to have guest come in town and I am so out dated that I dont know where to take them, for example lets go to Buckhead or Vision or something that’s long gone. I want to be relevant.

    @Singles

    I don’t think someone is going to come knock on your door and say, “I heard you were single” so you have to go out at some point.

Now, I’ll give my drink to one of my friends who can’t dance until I’ve finished my dance (LOL). Bell Bottoms is the only club I’ve been to in years. I prefer house parties. It’s just cheaper and safer to drink at home.

    BTW, I don’t mind you guys laughing at me after I left for the day (lol). Darrell, your comparision of not knowing what a “wife beater” was was on the mark.

    You’re so sickin’ hand, lone sweetin’ thing, that ? like poison up on your skin. It lightens up my day and that’s also true, together we are one, ? we are two.

    To make it all mine, all mine is my desire, cause you contain a quality, you that I admire. To put it playin’ simple, you rule my world, so try to understand:

    I’m in love girl, I’m so in love girl, I’m just in love girl, and this is true. Girl you know it’s true, uh uh uh, I love you. Yes you know it’s true, uh uh uh, I love you. Girl you know it’s true, my love - is for you. Girl you know it’s true, my love - is for you.

    This sizzling thing girl, I can’t explain, my emotions starts up when I hear your name. Maybe a sweet, sweet voice would ring in my ear, it stimulate my senses, girl when you are near. And with your positive emotion love making enjoy, there’s no need to bust, it’s like a girl and a boy. These feelings I keep, I often wondering why, so I thought I might discuss this ? is you and I. Now what you wear, I don’t care, how ? before, the reason that I like a girl is for what you are. If I ? think about it, you rule my world, so try to understand:

    I’m in love girl, I’m so in love girl, I’m just in love girl, and this is true. Girl you know it’s true, uh uh uh, I love you. Yes you know it’s true, uh uh uh, I love you.

    By SexyLeggs

    I just received this email:

    A Soulful Relationship

    If you’re not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, “Before you get married, keep both eyes open and after you marry, close one eye.”

    Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don’t let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don’t fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults is not really important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you’ve got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individuals who have decided to share a life together.

    Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best of each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?

    You can’t take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can’t make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and a life, you won’t find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain. Manipulation, control, jealousy, deceitfulness, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship.

    Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.

    Question: What keeps a relationship strong?

    Answer: Communication, intimacy (not sex), trust, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, a shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note), sharing common goals and interests.

    Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can’t always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don’t try to control one another. Learn each other’s family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless. Don’t put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain will replace the passion.

    Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think. The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8). Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight? You should always to try to be a little more kind to each other than necessary.

    The difference between “United” and “Untied” is where you put the “I”. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    IslandGirl How many us are willing to wait on God to lead us to a compatible mate? The way I see it, we don’t need to wait on God : when we are in relationship with someone where we see potential problems and great incompatibilities; God is waiting on us to get out of it and not the other way around. When we are single, we need to find a place of peace within (maybe that’s waiting on God to lead us).

    What stuck me with the article was this:” “How long after you married did you realize that you were going to have serious problems?” To my surprise many say, “On our wedding day!””

    BennyB lol. That is so sad- regarding some couples knowing in their heart the relationship is not right, but still enter into marriage.

    Many years ago, I made the decision to not marry my son’s father ( I was young and not ready for marriage- much less motherhood). We were engaged for a while, until the relationship ended. When my son was younger I felt bad about my decision- felt selfish. Now I’m happy I did not marry that fool!

    Are you still a party animal once you become serious with someone?

    I’ve given up my partying days. I went non-stop from 18-35 with occasional relationships in between to slow me down. My preference today is the movies, playing poker, skating, traveling, strip clubs, concerts, and making money.

    Does it depend on the person you’re seeing?

    Yes, I had a girlfriend that was non-stop partying. She would close the club down and count the money with the managers. I had to leave her serveral times because I was ready to go and she was not.

    Has anyone ever questioned your desire to go out and have a good time while seeing them?

    No, I generally invite whoever I’m with to hang out with me. I’m a social butterfly and I need to be around people.

    If anyone’s interested, there’s a really cool article about Ryan Cameron on ACJ.com.

    In the article, he talks about an eye problem he’s had to deal with since he was young, the stigma that came along with it and how he’s now mentoring young kids with similar issues. I can relate to this as I suffered an injury to my left eye at birth which left my right eye perfectly normal, my left eye is “off” a bit. Really good read if you have the time.

    Good morning. Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. I am from France and too bad know English, please tell me whether I wrote the following sentence: “While it is more common to lose weight while undergoing cancer treatment, some patients do gain weight.”

    Thank :D Bertille.
