but y'all very seldom take the girl to task for trying to write checks her coochie can't cash...



I thought about it.. yes, we do take the chick to task... she'll get a bunch of this hah! .. why? cause she ignored all the signs, warnings, and all the advise others were trying to warn her about the truth... she completely walked in denial.... hey, a chick wants to walk in the fire, she'll get burnt..


ok..I may have been a bit TOO general with that statement...but in my experiences with my female friends (no, I mean the ACTUAL friends...giggle), they have always gone the route of the pity party for the one who thought she could turn a hoe into a husband....

Women think their coochies are magic. nod

Mine IS magical. It doesn't shoot confetti or nuthin' like PaintedLady's but it's pretty darn spayshul. As for the dude Gade is talking about, I'd NEVER want a relationship with his ass. BUT depending on my mood, his looks, and whether I'm feeling him or not I MAY elect to make sport outta him and keep it movin'. I find that guys like this can't deal when a woman gets her jollies and doesn't want anything else from them. It's kinda funny. hah!


i was gonna say that.... eek

First off, do I even have to say the words...?? (hint...outtacontrol... lol) Next, you're right in that men are very likely to fall head over heels for a woman that gets her jollies at their expense....why, I couldn't tell you....but to me, its kinda my scenario in reverse....

Lastly...did I mention yo' ass is outtacontrol?? just checkin'....tease

lol

The difference between me and SirDawg, if I understand correctly, is that he's gonna string this woman along, make promises he has no intention of keeping, tell her dumb, hopeful ass everything she wants to hear, then he's going to fuck around on her. Guys like SirDawg get off on keeping a lot of chicks on their line. I don't do ANY of that. Matter fact, if you're in the sport category, depending on where my head is at, you're prolly not getting a callback much less all that other stuff. That's too much damn energy. lol

to an extent, you're right on it....but I'm moreso focusing in on the woman who, knowing in her soul that the guy is exactly as you describe, will soldier on in the hopes of trying to "CHANGE" him....or as I just said in my response to Flowers, she's trying to turn a hoe into a husband....

...and it has been my experience, both personal and by extension, that when the sex is good (on either end) it will always take too much energy...

What I don't understand about women is why they gossip so much.


Forgive my tardiness. cool

I don't consider myself a gossip, nor are my female friends. There are plenty of other things to discuss, rather than dwell on talking about other folks. We talk about politics and local news mostly. I think it really depends on the person. Male or female. The two biggest busybodies and nosiest people I know are both men. People gossip, some more and some less. The men just get to call it bullshitting.

uhhh...yeah....I beg to differ...when men do dumb shit, other men give them the dogs life....and trust me when I tell you, men are just as catty as women when it comes to gossip concerning relationships....granted we could give a rats ass what another guys ass looks like in a pair of jeans (unlike y'all..giggle), but if he's being played like monopoly by a woman, he might as well never come around again.....

you're touching on exactly what I mean. I've hung with my boys and yeah, they rag on each other about relationships but most of the time, we just watch the game and don't talk. But women, oh my god, the talkin about other women irks me beyond belief. Then the turning around and cheesin' in the face of the person they were just talking about: lawd that ish is triflin'.

Psst: Men gossip, too, studies say
Monday, May 28, 2007 3:32 AM
By Gail Rosenblum

Minneapolisgiggle Star Tribune

Men, you can deny that you engage in what you call shop talk, networking or locker-room banter.

But the truth is, you gossip just as much as women do.

That juicy tidbit is offered by the Social Issues Research Centre, a nonprofit think tank in England that recently interviewed 1,000 people about how they use their cell phones for gossip and how gossip affects their lives.

Many male participants initially denied that they gossip, according to the study, while almost all of the women admitted doing so.

The study found, however, that 33 percent of men indulge in gossip every day or almost every day -- compared with 26 percent of women. eek

It quoted definitions of gossip as "chatty talk among friends" and "the process of informally communicating value-laden information about members of a social setting."

Other findings:

• Men gossip more often with work colleagues, love partners and female friends; women prefer to dish primarily with female friends and relatives.

Men gossip about work, politics or other highbrow topics less than 5 percent of the time -- except around women, in which case the proportion devoted to sounding impressive increases to 15 percent to 20 percent. razz

Men talk much more

about themselves than do women
.

Other studies -- including those at Northeastern University in Boston, the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin -- confirm the idea that gossip is universal.

Gossip isn't all bad, however: To plenty of scholars, it fulfills an important role in daily interactions.

Gossip can unite us, calm us and entertain us. Sometimes, gossip leads us to improved livelihoods ("Did you hear about the new job postings?") or home situations ("I heard your new neighbor does in-home day care").

Gossip can warn us about bad behavior, bad weather or, worse, bad people.

It can even be deadly dull. ("So, that cashier -- you know, the one who likes bright pink lipstick -- well, she's moving into a bigger house with a basement apartment so her mother-

in-law, the one with the bad heart, can move in, but not until she sells her house. . . .")

Mostly, though, this form of banter gives us something we never think we have enough of: power.

"Gossip," said Ken Stewart, a St. Paul, Minn., marriage and family therapist, "is the mutterings of the powerless."

While women historically have drawn the short stick when it comes to power and control, Stewart said men have plenty of insecurities. Gossip is a way to try to regain control.

Gossip wasn't always viewed as naughty. For primitive societies, it was a survival skill used to discredit the reputation of rivals. Later, the Old English term God-sibb literally meant "Next-Sibling," and typically referred to a woman's close female friends during the birth of a child.

Through gossip, people learned about the good works of others that they could try to emulate. Only later did it lose its saintly status and come to mean the chatty talk about an unwitting third party.

"Girl talk," said Jack Levin, with tongue planted in cheek.

The professor of sociology and criminology at Northeastern University in Boston has been interested in the gender differences of gossip for decades and wrote a book about it in the 1980s. He suspects that "gossip-mongering," as he calls it, became associated with females as a way for men to discredit them.nod (And now we do it to each other) disbelief

"Women would stay at home and talk about men. Those men got very nervous. It was a way of belittling them."

But his research also found that men -- from teenage boys talking about girls to middle-aged businessmen trashing sports stars -- gossip plenty.

Yet, if Levin's research and the Social Issues Research Centre study are to be believed, only 5 percent in the research-center study -- and about 33 percent in Levin's work -- is critical or negative, the stuff we can't wait to read about in the checkout lines.

Most of us indulge largely for a less cynical reason: We're genuinely interested in people.

Ok...here is what I've never understood about some women....

SCENARIO: Woman meets man, who on a good day would be called SirDawg...
Woman KNOWS that SirDawg is only out for self...Woman also notices that when SirDawg walks into a Red Lobster, the lobsters in the tank stop moving around...they see SirDawg eyeballin' and flirtin' with any skirt that passes by, and roving eye syndrome easily qualifies as an UNDERSTATEMENT OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!

QUESTION: Why do some women decide, in the depths of their souls, to not only get with him, but that THEY will be the one to get this leopard to change his spots.....?

Could someone please explain this one, because I don't get it....especially when SirDawg does SirDawg and said woman gets MAD!!!


nod What he said.

Woman typically follows up this episode by:


    Declaring loudly and repeatedly that there are no good men left in the world.
    And, upon finding a good man, making him pay for the mess that SirDawg left behind...

1- why is it women don't like to acknowledge they're pimping when they clearly are? (see: pimping= getting over on a male associate)

2-why must you say your not hungry when asked, only to pick off your man's plate at least 3 times?

3-why do you find a man more interesting once he shows no interest in you or (even more confusing) when he is taken, or is possibly involved with multiple others?

4-why do many of you insist you have no options, or no one wants you, when you can admit to knowing at least 3 men who want you but you dont deem them worthy?


thats all i have for now...
