Bella your friends are crazy and they need to come blog with us!!

Stupid question of the day:

Why do guys over 6ft only approach women who are 5’9 and below (in heels)?

I was with some super cute 5’10 and 6ft mammies and guys 6’1 - 6’5 would run past them and talk to their cute 5’4 and 5’2 friends…We were like WTF?!…The ladies were from out of town, so they were all very approachable.

If I was a 6ft dude, I would be cutting these tall mammies like a blade through cokecain.

I’ll settle for 5’10 LOL

Morning, all, and great topic, Bella. You’ve been on a roll here lately. :-)

To quote American journalist,Dorothy Thompson: “Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.”

So, Allison “only wants do this once”, does she? LOL! Riiiight. She may be very intelligent as far as book-knowledge goes, but it seems she still has a helluva lot to learn about life. Seems to me that fear is what’s really at the root of her wanting these “life dominoes” (as I call it) of hers to fall in just the right order. And who of us didn’t want that when we were first starting out?

The truth of the matter is - as we’ve all no doubt learned - nothing is guaranteed in life. Nothing. So, with all due respect to her desire to set and achieve certain goals for herself (as we all should), she is still somewhat naive to think that life will - without interruption - accommodate her plan to do all she has set out to do and in the order she’s mapped out.

I’m reminded of that song by Atlantic Starr and the line: “When love calls, you betta answer. Cuz it might slip away and may not ever come again.” Without love - someone to love and someone to love you - life is completely empty. I only pray that Allison isn’t on her way to learning that lesson the hard way.

good morning all.:) i agree w/you darrell, there is not perfect time for a relationship. every situation is different. some know after hours, days, months or years. it just needs to feel right. the slap in the face to a lot of people is when they follow the rules they’ve set perfectly and things still don’t turn out how they thought it would. just goes to show there are no guarantees. in the meanwhile, do what feels right and love well.

Morning All,

Good Topic and for once looks like its the chick thats holding out. Based on the observation it seems to be working for her. With her saying she only wants to do it once does seem a bit naive and idealistic faced with todays realities. On the other hand look around at all the successful dating routines(T-I-C). From what I gather she has a plan and ol boy is content with it. She has as much right to be naive and think life will accomadate her. Hell everybody that says she doing it wrong is either single or divorced. Let her do it the way she wants because if she does it any other way she’ll be remorseful at some point. I applaud her for doing it her way but at some point ol boy gotta draw a line in the sand.

I was so not expecting to read what I just read from seeing the topic. LOL But anyway there are a lot of different matters within the entry that could be talked about.

First, that checklist mindset has overtaken our society. And I truly think it stems from wanting to have your own before taking the leap just in case… I say that because usually, as in this case, the things mentioned are things that can be accomplished within a wedded union. If the two are willing to work together and make the appropriate sacrifices.

Secondly, as you mentioned there will always be something “better” “bigger” out there that we as a lust filled human sect will want. As I mentioned a few days ago, The Man and I did not talk marriage but we did talk about our future together. Things we wanted to do. Places we wanted to go. Accomplishments we wanted to achieve. We wanted to do these things together. Married or not.

Third, after being with someone for a number of years do you know them well enough to commit to them??? If you don’t then you never will. The thing is, IMO, we will never fully know each other. Heck there is a lot about myself that I am still learning. I feel there is a general knowledge base that you should know and from there it is a new lesson every day.

Good Morning All,

Life is what happens while we make other plans. Bella I know you only mention what Allison says because I would assume you are closer to Allison than her boyfriend. But I have to wonder before I assume anything what does “boyfriend say” He could very well be in total harmony with their relationship as is. I am not to quick to say 4-5 years the next step should be taken because frankly I know of a couple who had 3 children, raised them to adulthood and never had the desire to marry ever. They were in harmony with their relationship as it was. I know Life is what happens while we make other plans, but it doesn’t mean you dont plan. An I didnt read anything in the brief statements above that suggested that Allison was in fear that she didnt know this guy well enough..just that she has a plan. Which is not a bad thing. Besides only Allison and the boyfriend know what is perfect timing for them. Not friends, family, or strangers.

Yeah I mean you pretty much know what time it is around 2-3 yr mark. You know what the person wants to do. You always have clues prior to the break up. But to each it’s own.

You asked about spending years together and it not work out…

I have come to learn while in this present relationship if you don’t like each other no matter how settled your life is it more than likely will not work out. It took me a while to really get that. The Man says all the time “I like you”. When I do something quirky or say something out of the way he usually chuckles and say I really like you. And guess what I like him also.

When that “love” chemical is not in play your relationship rest on the like for each other. Like is something we choose to do. Quirky tendencies, annoying habits…we choose to like either despite that or for that.

So yeah we are working toward an early retirement. Planning for a comfortable future. But we better still like each other when that time comes or it all will be for no good.

By The Truth

April 18, 2008 9:55 AM | Link to this

What they have seems to be working. Why ruin a good relationship with a bad maraige. Tell your friend to stay single.

Satoria there is no set time but it’s usually about 10x longer than a woman committs to a man. More than likely he’ll never committ like one would think. He’ll simply decide this is a woman I could spend time with. It’s about then she starts making demands that make him re-think his decision.

2008 Relationship Motto:

Be The Partner That You Desire

By abc

April 18, 2008 10:04 AM | Link to this

Personal compatibility, affection and love, emotional bonding, and willingness to ‘commit’ (whatever that really means) do not equate to being ready for marriage.

A man and woman are ready for marriage when they’re ready to selflessly dedicate themselves to the union and all that it produces, without regard for personal wishes that affect only themselves. Without a family focus, even if there aren’t to be any children, a marriage is nothing.

You’re talking about a budding lawyer, arguably the most selfish, self-centered, untrustworthy beings in the universe. From my experiences, I’d run from a chick lawyer like my hair was on fire.

Demi I am 5’1 and I have been approached by guys waaaay taller than me. I can do at least 6’1, over that and I am just like you make me look more like a lollipop kid that I already do! :0) There is a such thing as too short and too tall. On the flip, I dont want a guy that I can see eye-to-eye with literally. No need in us looking like the cute 5th grade couple.

Have you ever been with someone for years only to find it didn’t work out? What was the cause of the breakup? Was it something you could have seen coming, or did you really needs years to figure out the other person? Uhh, yeah!! I was married to him! I missed a lot of things, most of which were in my face the whole time. Others were things that happened due to situations (living together, paying bills together, etc). In hindsight I could have figured most of it out had I really been paying attention and dealing with the real instead of just thinking that the situation would work itself out. We have to be real with ourselves in relationships, period.

I totally agree with Beck and Kym. I don’t think people should be getting married b/c it’s what other people think is right for them. It sounds like they are probably in debt after law school so who knows where they are financially. Some people have to pay for their entire wedding and engagement rings aren’t cheap. If they are planning on being together for the rest of their lives anyway, why do they have to rush and get married. Getting married b/c that’s what everyone else thinks is the right time seems like a pretty bad reason to do so.

By abc

April 18, 2008 10:29 AM | Link to this

I’ve been in relationships with lawyers. Think of it like this, Truth: lawyers are trained to win their point. It becomes a way of thinking, a way of life. They’ll do anything to win their point, legitimately or not. That’s the definition of a good lawyer: one who wins regardless the position of their client.

That’s carried over into all personal life, for lawyers. They’ll give you a dissertation as to why you need to be and do what they say. Don’t try to argue against their point, they’re trained, baby.

Kind of like actors and actresses always playing a part, you’ll never know who they really are. You could start to question if they really have their own personality at all.

Carol “If they are planning on being together for the rest of their lives anyway, why do they have to rush and get married.”

Nothing wrong with them “planning on being together for the rest of their lives”. The problem is in assuming you’ve got the rest of your life to plan to be together. And that, to me, appears to be the assumption that Bella’s friend Allison is making.

I was like to whom? who are you trying to impress? other women that you don’t know? Lets me know that women don’t date for themselves really but for what “other people(chicks) they don’t even know” might say.

IG good morning lovely. What did you do with the dog from hell? Is he history yet? That’s why I can’t fall in love with you. If I bite you you’ll get rid of me too. LOL

Mo why do I have a strong desire to sit you on my lap and ask you what you want for xmas?

Darrell I had to go back and re-read your post. Without love - someone to love and someone to love you - life is completely empty. While most of it was on point you could have left this line out.

Carol “So you are saying go and get married b/c you are going to die soon?”

Of course not! LOL! At the same time, it’s ridiculous to ASSUME that you’re NOT going to die soon. (Please take that in its intended context, okay? I mean that in a purely philosophical sense.) It’s like I said in my initial post - nothing in life is guaranteed - not even life itself. So, who is Allison, or any of us for that matter, to put all of life’s eggs in one basket as if we’re masters of our own fate? Think about it. Hell, we can’t even take a single breath on our own.

I see Allison’s “one basket” as being her apparent “fixed” attitude of wanting to achieve A, B, C, D, etc. and nothing’s going to get in her way. Not even love. Now, she has every right to take that approach because, after all, it is “her life”. However, as Truth said earlier, if that’s her mindset then she needs to stay single.

It’s like that old, but true, saying goes: “Love don’t wait for no one.” Not even Allison.

If people don’t want to get married and just ‘date’ for the rest of their life, that’s fine. You can be committed w/o marrying. To each their own. You can also live a productive and happy life without being with someone. You can be a good and productive person without having children too. Sometimes the best ‘child’ to have is a furry one on four legs.

I would think she has found love if she is with someone this long. I just don’t agree with the fact that a piece of paper somehow cements this fact.

I don’t think Allison was ever thinking, I need to get these thing accomplished before I get married. If they are secure enough in their relationship, then I don’t think they should get married b/c they are pressured to do so.

If they want to get marriend, it should be their own decision not anyone elses, that’s all I mean.

ABC while usually your facts are right on you missed this one severely. Marriage is not a covenant before god. It was created with the intentions of keeping riches within certain bloodlines or for economic reasons. God had nothing to do with it. It was strictly business.

I completely agree with you. However, as it relates to Allison, the issue here (at least as I understand it) was never who should influence her decision to get married, but what.

In either case, my hope is that she would have the proper perspective on all this because, in the context of a relationship, goals shouldn’t be set in a vaccum. They should be established only after thoughtful consideration of their impact on the other people who are important to us.

I’m surprised that you are married but yet feel the need to come on this blog to begin with. But hey, don’t let me question your motives.

Apparently you are so astute as to gauge my worth from a few comments that and so happy by nature - that maybe the four legged friends you speak of are the only ones you can garner in the real world.

But I wish you well. God Bless.

Not that anyone’s goin to make it this far down the blog (unless you’ve really got nothing better to do or you’re desperately trying to avoid work, like me ;)), but I find it so strange that most folks limit their lives to college, work, and marriage. Doesn’t anyone out there want something more out of life? someone way up on the blog said…

Without love - someone to love and someone to love you - life is completely empty. I only pray that Allison isn’t on her way to learning that lesson the hard way.

Really? Your whole life is meaningless without someone else in it? It sounds more like these people need someone to validate them or they just crumble and wilt. What gives? Is that all there is to life? To find someone to grow old with? That seems like a pretty narrow definition but if that’s the end of the pool you want to stay in (the shallow one, that is) then so be it.

I haven’t seen one person on here even mention the possibility that some people (maybe a lot of people) don’t need to nor want to get married. It’s not that these people want to be alone necessarily - maybe they’ve figured out that life is ephemeral, at best, and they don’t want to get all tangled up in the laws and rules of supposed love. I don’t really see why I need the government’s approval to love someone and I don’t see why I need to possibly lie to someone about being with them for the rest of our lives (People change, situations change, feelings change, etc.). Lies give people cancer. And the government will probably give you something worse.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t love - I’m just saying that love and marriage do not go together like a horse and carriage, and that maybe it’s time for us to expand our definition of love to include some other conclusion besides marriage. Marriage is just another way for the government (and your in-laws) to limit and control you.

Go on, call me what you will, but if what I’m saying somehow offends you or gives you the impression that I’m a depressing, cruel, or ugly person then you’ve probably got the intelligence of a republican (contemporary, not historic), and I really couldn’t be bothered to care what you think.

if for every action, there’s an opposite, but equal reaction…….

“yes, i’m sensitive, but you don’t have to bash me on here.” …..“I am starting to see this is your way for CRYING OUT for attention”…..

Bella along with all of us are on the outside looking in and making snap judgements based on limited facts. Bella even said she “thinks” after this long you should know…blah blah. She thinks but they know what is best for them. Like I said before what if they had all that in place and never got married. Doesnt mean they put life on whole. Doesnt read to me that they have even put love on hold. They moved around the country according to the post to be together so it looks to be like they considered each other quite a bit in their decision making.

Let me address this jaded idea you have about me: I’ve learned you don’t get a lot accomplished by all that talking and being loud (empty barrels make the most noise). I really don’t get into all that lip movement because that is all it is to me. While another chick sees it necessary to fire out of the mouth, I will straight up cut you (and you won’t see it coming). Growing up with all brothers taught me to hold my own. As we say back home, when in battle theres no time to skin teeth….let me know if you need an interpretation (of course I’ve grown up and find it more effective to use my charm, class, and intelligence to deal with most situations). lol

And it is actually at the request of quite a few ‘Oprah’ fans that I picked it up! After reading this I may go back and pick up “The Power of Now”…he references it in the beginning, I believe.

Let me ask you something, did you get (understand) the first chapter without an issue? My best friend was telling me that she had issue with the first chapter but after reading the entire book, she went back and read the first chapter and only then did it make sense to her.

By A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle

April 18, 2008 2:14 PM | Link to this

Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.

Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely.

I actually bought the book during webcast 3 and then began reading and used the webcast as a guide. You can download them from I-Tunes for free. I read and follow the webcast or class as Oprah calls it. We will be in Chapter 8 this week. Not sure how far along you are in your reading but chapter 7 really hit home with me. “Knowing who you truly are.” I am reading it again because I have had quite a few AHA moments.

“Simple Life”

Days feel so long My life seems short As years go by

The chance that I took Feelings so strong, I had to try All of the pain I left behind

Been down the road My heart has been sold The price was steep

The world that we have The wish that we made are ours to keep All our emotions are so deep Cuz I can’t stop falling in love with you

All I want is the Simple Life All I really want is you All I want…all I need is the Simple Life

On the one hand, Truth, I have to say you’re dead wrong about marriage. It’s not the institution that’s failed the people, it’s the other way around. The problem with marriage is that people these days, in general, fail to see it as a convenant with God — and that’s the origins of marriage. It goes back to the beginning of recorded history, that being the Bible.

On the other hand, I have to say that based on my own observances and experiences, few men can (or will) live up to the Biblical role of husband, and virtually no women can (or will) live up to the Biblical role of wife. It seems as if it isn’t within the realm of conventional contemporary behavior. That’s a dayum shame, as far as marriage is concerned. So is marriage obsolete? I’d say that the way it’s playing out the past 40-50 years or so, marriage certainly isn’t what it once was, that’s for sure.

Blow I’m not Jamaican, so I don’t have a clue. I think American women tend to believe foreigners have the potential to be this way. If you ask me any woman is capable of stealing your man. Consider the female to male ratio in Atlanta. In this city, population is the issue rather than cultural backgrounds (who knows). jmo

I don’t know how to explain the differences I’ve notice. For instance, American men get caught up with things like my accent and how I enunciate words, having a different perspective on certain things, and other things. None of the things I consider important.

ABC once again you’re off base. During the dark ages alot of marriages went unrecorded. The church stepped in and proclaimed that in order for a marriage to be valid there needed to be 1 priest and 2 witnesses. (Really they just wanted their cut) God had nothing to do with marriage, or taxes either. It’s all manmade and that’s probably why it isn’t working.

I will agree that whatever was originally agreed to has disintegrated over the last few generations.

In the end neither of us will be able to convince the other their wrong. I was simply bringing a different point of view.

Rell those island girls do bring more glue to the party. Less neck twisting and more performance. However, if you’re trying to flirt with my boo boo (IG) we’re gonna have words.

Mama not necessarily. I just live according to what’s important to me. I’ve been married. I know what a sham it is.

Not to offer disrespect of your opinions, Truth, but the even the newest book of the Bible predates the Dark Ages by 1000 years. It hasn’t to do with what churches did; it has to do with what the Bible says. Same thing today: most churches misrepresent Biblical roles in marriage, it hasn’t to do with what they say, it has to with what’s written in the Bible. God invented marriage, my friend.

Darrell now you’ll be talking about “greed is good”.

ABC the dark ages started around 1000 ad, however alot of history was recorded before Jesus Christ’s death. As a matter of fact, one of the greatest cicilizations known to man, Egytians, had already come and pretty much gone by then. The Romans began their climb to dominance before that also. They all did just fine without the bible. However, if you choose to follow the bible I’m in no place to try to convince you otherwise.

Truth, most of the Bible was written before 100AD. They don’t call it the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ for nothing — the Romans endorsed Christianity, making it legal sometime after 300AD. History of ancient Egypt is included in the Old Testament, which dates to approximately 4000 BC. There is other recorded history that correlates to what the Bible says. To my knowledge, none predate the Bible.

ABC it’s the Holy Roman Empire because Constantine selected christianity after finding no other religion that would forgive him for killing family members. The pagan religions didn’t do that. Along the way he killed other emperors to solidify his power and wealth. He was the first holy roman emperor and without him we wouldn’t even be reading the bible. Once again, blood to spread religion. A constant theme throughout history.
