Comments on: Why Won’t You Just Say What You Mean?!

Wait a sec… am I the ONLY one who notices that dude sets it off by omitting "the one with the track body" from his description of his "friend"? And why is he asking his boo if she WANTS to come along instead of just telling her she should come along to meet his friend? Um, maybe because he honestly doesn't want his boo meeting his friend with the track body. No doubt women can be complex creatures, and I get that frustrations are being expressed here. BUT duplicity in communication is a human thang I think. I agree with earlier posts that with maturity we learn (hopefully?) how to say what we mean and mean what we say without being mean (and yes, that includes stop asking folks questions we really hope they'll say no to).

Iv'e had the SAME issues with men. I'm also guilty too….but I can say that with age and maturity, I have learned to "say what I mean" the first time and if I think he doesn't understand, it's my job to make sure that he does. I believe communication is key.

See, the problem that I run into is that I'll be straight up with a guy and ask just what I want to know (not even comin @ him all crazy, either), then I get the…"Well, what are you trying to say?" talk….cuz he just EXPECTS me to come @ him with ulterior motives. I do what y'all want, and I still get the side eye. SMH. I typically don't have the time or the energy to think of another way to get the information I want from you, but because of what you already expect, I STILL don't get my dang answer.

@SBM,

Yeah, what was familiar to me was when he did the strike-through of the "Michelle ~~with the track body~~". That cracked me up originally and it still does today. So, uh, props to you, Slim?

@Streetz,

LOL, I don't condone snitchin' either. Especially since that's not what I did. That ish was up for the public to see. *sticks out tongue*

@Slim,

Even though you get a #recycleFAIL, think of it this way, your posts are so memorable, that it's hard to recycle them. Oh, right…you want me to say what I mean? Ok, then, what I meant to say was, "TREATED!"

I knew something about that conversation seemed very familiar.

I think I'm most offended because I didn't get the bolds that the original had.
