-SBM
****************
Take that sh*t off!
Every once in awhile … I think to myself: “SBM … some of the SBM massive want to know more about you. They want to know more about the man behind the blog.”
Usually this comes in the form of a twit saying “when am I gonna get my picture?” And as always, I promptly tell them I’m trying to stop sending pictures of my p*nis through the internet how about I share my soul instead.
Twice already have I tried to share my “quirks” here and here. The things that I like or dislike that just aren’t commonplace. There weird things that just “do it” for me that most other guys just aren’t going to understand.
So come on into my brain. Make sure you take your shoes off and get acquainted.
Not owning a smartphone
With the iPhone more popular than the iPod basically, Blackberry’s given away for free, and my high school cousin even having an Android (Droid) phone … there really isn’t any reason a grown woman shouldn’t have a phone that gets email. If you’re afraid of technology … then I’m afraid I can’t buy you dinner. We can smash … but you’re gonna need to find a ride home in the morning since you can’t use the “call-a-cab” app or find walking directions.
Different Color Nail Polish on each finger
For those who know me, I kind of have this “thing” about nails. Bad nails will end any idea of things moving forward, and some sexy nails will instantly add on 2 points (out of 10 … that’s a LOT). And I can’t stand the whole different color for each nail fad. If you’re in high school … maybe … but there is no reason anyone over the age or 19 should still be doing this and to the person who knows I am talking to them … stop it and don’t tweet me with any hostility.
Platform Heels
Go ahead and add feet/shoes to the fetish list, because they are another make or break item. These made the list in 2010 and I’m still not sure why. But one day I was wasting away, not paying attention the person talking to me … and then … I saw them. Not sure what it was about them (especially since they weren’t open toed), but not platform heels just make me think of dirty dirty things that I can’t repeat in this public forum.
Knowing the square root of -1
The more I talk about it … the more “fetishes” come to mind. Anyways … intelligence is the #1 must have. And specifically when I saw this equation on a shirt at my school, and the lovely individual next to me was able to decipher it … I started mentally mapping out the nearest bathroom (yeah … I’m a romantic one!).
Wearing Polo Assn
I’m far from a label whore … well … I might have a little label promiscuity in me. Regardless, wearing the “not Ralph Lauren” brand is unforgivable. Why are there a team of horses on your shirt instead of one? Everytime I see a guy or girl in it … I just shake my head in shame.
You don’t read
Sheeet … I’m not gonna even explain this one, because if it pertains to you … I’m glad you made it this far. BTW, magazines and blogs don’t count. If you don’t have a bookshelf with some real books (or an e-reader) … dueces.
More importantly than the random nuances that define my dating life, what are yours? What little random thing is it that you hate, yet you don’t think the masses will understand? What little thing are you OK with judging a person on, even though you know it’s wrong???
Remember … basic stuff DOES NOT COUNT! If I hear someone say “I don’t like skinny women” (since a lot of guys don’t) or “I don’t like short guys” (since 75% of women don’t) … you will get dummy slapped. Yes … a virtual SBM hand will come out and dummy slap you (we got the technology)!
– SBM aka I know what I want aka They sell real Polo at MARSHALLS!! What’s your excuse?
"and to the person who knows I am talking to them … stop it and don’t tweet me with any hostility."
AHH!! Lmfao Okay. I had to stop reading and comment that because we've had this discussion and I can't say I've done this since we talked about it. So thank you 🙂
I immediately thought of you.
🙂 Me too. That's why I put a bookmark in the post and had to comment before I finished reading it. Whole twitterversation later, I've been doing my nails less often [pause] and I leave them at a nice shiny clear gloss [double pause]. Doing my nails is so much fun now
"twitterversation"
I'm going to go ahead and add making up silly words to my list. 🙂
You can bite me Sane. 🙂
You still got the pic up on your blog, so I'm still saying something …
Noo… lol
Funny I thought of suki and the smae pic of her nails too 🙂
😀 you all are making me happy. I'm glad I'm not forgotten. LOL
"If you’re afraid of technology … then I’m afraid I can’t buy you dinner."
dead.
"If I hear someone say “I don’t like skinny women” (since a lot of guys don’t) or “I don’t like short guys” (since 75% of women don’t) … you will get dummy slapped. Yes … a virtual SBM hand will come out and dummy slap you (we got the technology)!"
dead.
Yawwnn
bed.
Awww, this is why we're >>>><<<<. Although, I don't get anything more than a basic manicure anymore, my nails grow quite well on their own. My list…
Movies
If you have bad taste in movies (and yes, I judge based solely on my own taste), we might have a problem. Also, if you are one of those people who insist on bragging about not watching movies/television because of some self-righteous reason, you and I will never work.
Paranoia/jealousy/insecurity
I went on a "date" last week and this guy spent the entire night worrying about who was looking at me. He actually came back from the bathroom once (he went many times due to his excessive drinking) and asked "who hit on you while I was gone". He also almost said something to the bartender after he didn't charge us for the pool table when I returned the balls.
Excessive drinking
This isn't a weird quirk, it's just unattractive altogether.
Lack of intelligence
Along with your love of a woman with a vocabulary, I hate always having to explain the word I just said. I also hate having to dumb down the conversation just to avoid having to explain the words I would normally use.
That is all… for now. 🙂
Movies are a big deal for me too. If dude & i can't watch a comedy together, it would never work!
Um, that dude was just odd, you should've ran out the door!
I was looking forward to something about neck pimples. Lmao
*shudders* I do my best to never, ever think about neck pimples.
I completely agree with the Movies one. In particular, I had to drop a girl because she thought Blood Diamonds was boring.
I'll be damned if you're gonna sit next to me and not be moved by the story of the child soldiers.
Whew, yall need to take your tails to bed, lol.
Bed. Schmed. 🙂
LoL, I see…well it's a good thing I'm not alone. I thought this insomnia was going to be the end of me. 🙂
Cosign w/ 10K down for lack of intelligence. He doesn't have to have 3 degrees but can't think I am uppity because I can articulate a sentence.
Sane..that guy sounds like he may be controlling. Just sensed an immediate redflad when I read that. Be careful with him.
What little thing are you OK with judging a person on, even though you know it’s wrong???
-I'm not a label whore but Coogi…all the colors make my eyes hurt.
-Sh*t talkers…i feel like the ones who do the most talking are the ones that do the less walking.
-Age…i can't deal with you if you are younger than my sister & i can't deal with you if you are older than my father.
-They wear heavy cologne (and it smells like they bathed in it).
-They wear socks with sandals…that just makes NO sense to me!
-The person lets whatever they are apart of be their identity such as Greek Affiliation…leave the matrix & get a life.
I am hardcore dedicated to my socks and sandals. I got a pair of the Addidas ones with those little things that stick up. Honestly, they kinda hurt. So, I will actually put on socks just to put them on so I can walk comfortably.
Hate if you must … but I have a reason.
*side eye*
it's not a hate thing, i just can't get with it. Do you SBM, i just wouldn't! #shrug
I think the right sock + sandal combo is kinda sexy…
Most of the football players at my school wore that combo & i didn't find them sexy…its probably why i don't think it is…well, actually…no, i never thought it was sexy, even before undergrad
Girl athletes wear socks with sandals because most of them have horrible feet, but also most of those athletic sandals are kind of hard… but I think they are self conscience about their feet too!
Wearing big a** FAKE diamonds, If you can't afford the real ones just keep the fake ones small. You are not fooling anyone so please stop it.
Men with braids…..if you are over 17 cut that ish off!
wearing all one color…black is okay but I'm gonna need you to not walk out of your house looking like a red cryaon, and yes I'm talking to you Kanye
I concur, I concur! You listed everything on my life.
***Long T-Shirts…I just don't get it. Men: Your t-shirts should not look like your wearing a dress.
>>>everything on my list*
GIRL I am co-signing on ALL of that!!!
lol at Kanye!
I loves me some Mr. West and actually kinda dig his err, unique fashion sense.
Im a Cubic Zirconia whore. lol
actually I have one ear pierced and just never got around to getting a real diamond. My joint is modest size, it b shinin though!
Ladies, is it a waste if I buy a pair of diamond earrings but I only have one ear pierced?
I personally don't think there's anything wrong with you wearing ur lil CZ. I'd rather have a man that wears moderate- sized CZ's than one that pays $2200 for a pair of earrings that NOBODY can tell are real but you're driving around in a '90 Ford pickup truck you paid $800 for! This post is hitting home…can anyone tell?! Lol
you mad princess? lol
yeah lil CZs not HUGE CZs…I can usualy tell tho, my momma taught me well 🙂
I think you can purchase single ones… but I guess there is nothing wrong with a back up;)
I don't mind long hair as long as it is fly at all times.
this list is funty (Ru's Voice)
1. i hate nail bitting. its nasty to look at and just makes me want to vomit.
2.i hate it when grown men where skinny jeans.
3. i hate it when some men have locker room convos loud enough for women to hear. u know the things only your buddies should hear.
4. i hate it when they bust out in tune loudly. for ex. i'm at starbucks on campus and this guy behind me is rapping some artist very loudly. stfu
5. musim oils and incense is a killer. whats wrong with glade or kenneth cole black. geeesh
6.TARDINESS!!!!!!!!!!
Cosign on men that wear skinny jeans. 20 years from now I bet you we will learn that it causes impotence. LOL!
#agreed on the skinny jeans…i don't get how their balls can breathe!
Man, these folks get it in in the wee hours of the night. Slim has a pic up, dang things have changed.
Your list funny, typical SBM but funny no less…and here I was thinking that I started that shoe fetish.
My list:
1. Punk b!tches…men and all of their d@mn feelings have really been getting to me lately. I mean ok you got them, man up, lock them in a trunk and throw away the key…well I kid, kinda. I'm just saying…not everything requires a conversation.
2. Now in contrast to #1, I love a finely groomed man, you can look good and still be a man's man…that sh!t just turns me on. There is nothing sexier than a freshly shaven face, silk slacks, a crisp shirt and a beautiful tie, belt shoe ensemble…or designer jeans, who cares which one, just pick some nice ones, a great graphic tee and the shoes don't matter as long as their clean.
3. Muskuls mmpt, oh how I love muscles…not too big, but def not too small. I love a man around 6'4 250, solid…whew lawd jeezus be a pantyliner.
4. Did I mention hating feelings…ok, yeah well I abhor them.
5. Not a fan of man boobs, I feel bad about posting this one, but I know how you all like to keep it real on SBM.org so there it is. I'm really just like even if it's genetic, do a few push-ups, stop being so damn lazy…geez.
6. My biggest turn-on is intellect…some people are smart and don't know what to do with it. I love a man who reads everything; who reads every side of a situation and comes up a solution independent to the talking heads. I love that desire to want to know more, men who can quote relevant facts off the dome get me all moist and wet…like clean up on aisle 9 wet, lol.
That's it for me, at the end of the day, a good man is just that…a good man. What he wears doesn't matter, you can shop for him, he probably has feelings so it wouldn't hurt to listen. People get old and fat, gonna happen one day, might as well get used to the idea, lol.
Intellect though, NON NEGOTIABLE!!! Who needs the physical when he can f*ck the sh!t out of my mental.
That is all good people.
Ummm, welcome back!
I hope the virtual dummy slap wasn't too bad as not a single one of those were a "quirk". All basic stuff that 89% of woman would co0sign with.
Then you must make sure Streetz gets a slap as well. #justsayin' 🙂
hey! mine<del>s</del> were quirks! Don't bring me down with you!
@ Streetz. they weren't quirks, hon. 🙂
i call BS!
So if a woman cant read and i dont like it thats a quirk? lmaoo…
No shots SBM
ok lemme try again
1) chick who cant tie their shoes
2)women with asky kneecaps
3) Anyone against Instant messaging/texting/skyping
4) wearing shades in the club
5) Only writes with pens that have blue ink
that better?
smh…
😀
@ Reecie, I heart you lady.
@ Streetz….no one was trying to bring you down. People thought all of mine were quirks btw…
I can appreciate ashy knee caps. See…much better list! LOLOLOL!
5) Only writes with pens that have blue ink
^^^Blue is my favorite color so i mostly write in blue…#hater lol
Ummm yeah ok, oh well…it's my list of likes, and what!!!
Oh. I never did get to answering this.
1. Gingivitis. I have sensitive nostrils and can pick up bad breath. And I'd hate for it to be the guy I'm talking to. You don't think I want to kiss that, do you? 🙁 Disrespectful.
2. B.O. I'm crazy about a man that smells good
cuz I'll cream myself and squirt all in one standing near a delish smelling manbecause… well damnit! This is the man your man could smell like! Smell like a man, man!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE
3. Bad posture. *sigh* Walk like a million dollars. Don't exactly gotta have it on you…
Arch ya back college girl!
4. No brainer. Speaks for itself.. I hope
I have the weirdest quirks. I feel like I will be judged for these but I will name a few nonetheless:
Bad teeth. If they are crooked, yellow, stacked (think shark mouth)…I can not date you. Gaps are ok, just not a missing tooth gap.
A man that lives at home and is over 30 is not my cup of tea. I will reconsider if there are legitimate extenuating circumstances.
Horrible acne? I don't want to feel like I am jaguar ( someone under 30 dating a much younger person.)
Gorilla hairy testicles? No love. *shout out to Max*
Chicken legs. My calves can not be bigger than his.
A man with nice shoes is super sexy. If he owns a pair of manolos….swoon.
Lacking table etiquette. If a man knows which fork to use for the salad I melt inside.
I cringe if he is putting salt on food before he tastes it. That screams "high blood pressure" to me and I want a life-long partner that is healthy.
Oh and I love a man that can talk politics and community agendas.
Gorilla hairy testicles are not cute.
BP: "Horrible acne? I don’t want to feel like I am jaguar"
Henceforth, any person in their twenties that dates a person three years younger than them will be officially labeled a jaguar.
Three years difference tho!?? I didn't get that memo that a few years age difference now constitutes a jaguar..
Hmmm….
cosign EVERYTHING!!! good table manners, good teeth and nice shoes make me smile :)…hairy balls make me wish I never saw them, don't be afraid of the Nair for Men.
*DOA* at hairy gorilla balls …Lawd have mercy! But I must cosign..no need for hair floss, I carry dental floss… o__O
And I cosign on the teeth…overcrowding…why? I think that causes bad breath and definitely I am going to need you with all of your teeth… yeap.
1.) Ex-con-sorry but i cant mess wit a dude that got his felony record following him everywhere…im on the road to an bein an academic scholar…what i look like? 2.) Misogynists-I dont wanna hear how its the womans responsibility to submit to her man and "you cant get mad that we can be whores and y'all cant" GTFOH! 3.) Ballers-this might sound crazy but i refuse to date a man wit a bankroll, they treat u the worst, will ALWAYS cheat on u, an expect to have their ass kissed an ego stroked because they think they're "that dude"….*rolls eyes in disgust* naw im good, give me a regular dude wit a regular 9-5
"2.) Misogynists-I dont wanna hear how its the womans responsibility to submit to her man"
is that really misogyny?
check my post from today: http://sleep-is-the-cousin-of-death.blogspot.com/…
Regarding number 2, I don't know your religious affiliation, if any, but the Bible does say "Wives, submit to your husband…" Now, this does not mean the husband can walk all over the wife–the Bible in fact teaches husbands how to love their wife. I think people think about submission in a very negative sense, but submission isn't always a bad thing. The Bible also talks about how husbands should treat their wife and not be a dictator in the household. Submission is not a bad thing.
Just my 2 cents…
woman submit to her man is diff than wife submit to husband. #justsayin maybe she's talking about the single (not married) folks. I mean if you are just dating—and havent' even discussed marriage, that is a bit much to ask/expect…
Good point. I didn't catch that.
Co-sign the intelligence one but d@mn u, sbm, for getting my brain to process imaginary numbers so early on a monday morning…I rather imagine being back in bed.
Personally I can't stand men with dirty nails…the thought of them touching me *shivers*…I just think if u can't wash what I can see it probably means u aint washing what I can't
…
SBM's whole list was crazy..
and yes! I immediately thought of Suki when that nails one came up.. because i questioned it a time or two!
my list:
Muscles in the Forearm:
if i see them, i automatically start thinking of you lifting me up against a wall.. and all the positions available because you're SO strong! I asked someone to send me a pic of his forarms. It's better than any peen shot (although I don't have much to go off of)
It's just soo attractive to me.
A Saggy Booty
YO! For some reason, I always thought that men had firm behinds, cuz that's what I knew. I was making out with this guy last year and I grabbed this OBSCENE hand full of flesh. Like his booty was falling off it's skeletal frame. It's nasty and I dried up more than the Sahara in August.
Intelligence:
I need to be able to learn something from you.
Lameness:
I am like a lion naturally, so when I spot lameness I usually pounce. If you are trying too hard: lame. If you aren't confident: lame (and I usually eat em up for dinner) If you feel the need to flex how much you have: lame (and I am NEVER impressed)
If you won't let me treat:
I like to contribute. I've done it all my life. If you won't let me treat, I'll start to wonder some things. "Does he think I'm gonna owe him something because he got me my own popcorn?" etc..
If I mention my blog and you don't ask any follow-up questions, then you've Plaxico'd yourself with me.. Thatisall
Let it go.. and just walk away
CO-SIGN a saggy booty!!!
What kinda f*ckery is that?!!! My ex has a saggy arse and it was disgusting. It was what I imagine 2520 booties to look like. It was long and stretched out…
*vomits in mouth*
Lemme tell you how I try not to think of 'man butt' at all. I'd just as soon pretend my man has no butt. LOL. However, I had NO IDEA that some men have saggy booties. This just crushed my soul a little. That is sooooo utterly disturbing.
PSA: If this is you, I need you to get to squatting or lunging or something ASAP.
@So Flyy
That ish seriously looked like saddle bags. Like that Christian Dior Saddle bag purse that was hot like 10 years ago
http://www.dellamoda.com/cd1522.html
there was an episode of Sex and the City where Samantha was chexin this dude, he had a saggy arse.. but he was OLD! he had an excuse.. what's the excuse for my 20-something ex? I can't even handle it..
OH!
and calves..
i don't know how men can have no calf mmuscles.. I mean, they support us, we use them everytime we walk. What kind of situation allows for you to have no calf muscles? Just tree trunk legs! #WTF
Ewwww…seriously!
And I hate pretzel rod legs too! No definition whatso ever. Looking like a damn Tootsie Roll
@ L.Dejean cosign on your list. Got a few more to add. 1. Lack of humour-you will get dropped in a heartbeat. 2. Mr. Octupus-being clingy is not a good look nor a good fit for me. Next!!! 3. Douchebags-treating waiters,parking attendants,maids etc like shit-GTFOHWTBS and grow the F*CK up!!!
Good post! Here's a few of my quirks . . .
— Opinion of Self
If at any time he describes himself as "laid back," "down to earth," "chill," or "real" . . . GTFOHWTBS. It just sounds lazy. And like a lie.
— Imagination/Inner Child
I like to act silly sometimes and you need to be able to play along. If you can't be bothered with me when I want you to be my Jay Z during "Crazy In Love" . . . *yawn*. Sometimes I just like to eat cereal and watch cartoons in my draws . . . it's more fun with a partner, lol. Trust me.
–Dress Clothes/Shoes
Dress clothes go beyond a button up and your Easter slacks. Or a blazer and jeans (is this 2003?). You don't need to have a tuxedo in your wardrobe but a couple good suits would be nice. And not those 16 button Steve Harvey joints. Or sagging or baggy slacks. If you think Timberland boots are dress shoes or if you get mad when the bouncer won't let you in b/c you have on sneakers . . . Good day, sir.
–Verbal/Writing/Language Skills
I'm a writer and a teacher so I'm big on this. I'm not expecting speeches and essays. I won't quiz you (unless you want me to, lol). Just know basic grammar. Know the difference between 'there,' 'their,' and 'they're' and things of that nature. I should be able to read an email from you without cringing. But don't try to use words that you don't understand to try to impress me. And if you say "irregardless" or "conversate" in serious conversation I may punch you. Also, the ability to codeswitch is really important and it goes both ways. You've got to be able to assess a situation and switch up the kind of language you use.
–Internet
You still have a flip phone with no internet capabilities? Your primary email address ends with "@blackplanet.com?" You don't know what a flash/jump drive is? You wonder about basic sh!t that you could just google? You don't know how to crop or rotate pics? The only emoticon you can hit me with is a smiley? I can't deal with you. You need a basic understanding of the internet. I'm on them too much to have a dude that isn't.
–Old School Music
I love oldies. You don't have to love oldies like I do but atleast be familiar or have an appreciation for them. I feel like most people grew up hearing their parents play some soul and funk. Maybe even some blues and a little jazz. So there should be no excuse. If everything in your iTunes was recorded after 1990, we won't make it.
–Homophobia
In my opinion, blatant and vocal homophobia is often a sign of insecurity in one's own sexuality. Get your self together. I know this may seem like a given but I can't handle homophobia even in the most "harmless" sense. This includes using "pause" or "no homo" and using "gay" to describe things you don't like. I automatically think less of you. Get gone.
Oh my God. "Irregardless" *shudders* Worse than nails to a chalkboard
I thought about listing homophobia, but I'm sure you're all aware by now that is always on my list.
Yeah, I thought it may be too common to be a quirk but I know women that think homophobia just comes with the territory. They think it makes their significant others "manly." SMH.
We can literally be here all day with me speaking on this topic… But I'll try to give a condensed version:
1. Using slang or sounding overly country when you speak. This wasn't even an issue until I moved to Atlanta. If I have to ask you to repeat yourself &/or spell the word you're trying to tell me numerous times during the conversation , there's a problem!
2. Gold teeth…once again only since I've moved to Atlanta. I don't think I even need to explain how lame this is.
3. Wearing urban brand clothing. Parish, Coogi & LRG are NOT the move. Big, baggy colorful clothing is such a turnoff! Go 2 Barneys & pick up a pair of Nudies that actually FIT & don't sag off your a**! If you can't afford to get your jeans from the high end stores I shop @…I won't judge you…but sh*t throw on a pair of Levi's (again, that FIT)!
5. Hair any longer than a dark Caesar & depending on your hair grade a dark Caesar may even be too much. Everyone does NOT have natural waves! Please don't force me to embarrass you by telling you this!
6. Bad teeth…whether they're discolored or crooked you are now old enough to do something about it. Get you're sh*ts fixed please! I know you look in the mirror every day & see the nastiness that is your mouth…#stopit5!
7. Last one before I can't stop myself, don't be a video game head! I don't mind if you play them once in a while but don't make that sh*t your life! If your child is choking on my earrings & you don't even bat an eye to look over @ her to possibly SAVE HER DAMN LIFE because you're kicking butt in Call of Duty, you need your Playstation 3 thrown out the freakin window!
I hope my boyfriend doesn't see this (or maybe secretly I hope he does)! LOL
Hebrew, this is a nice list and all, and, I'ma let you finish, but, nobody plays Call of Duty on PS3…
Ummm Most…my boyfriend has a PS3 & plays Call of Duty 7 days a week…
Tell him to make the switch to XBox 360. I have both systems, the online experience for 360 is 1000 times better than that of the PS3. PS3 is good for the blu-ray and the single player rpg type games. On line though, COD is mad glitchy. Drops games worst that TMobile drops calls.
So yeah, I wouldn't say I'm a game 'head', I try to keep my game playing in line with my reading. If I'm on the video game for 2 hours, I need to find 2 hours to read that same day.
You sound like you had a moment with that PS3 situation… wow… lol.
Yes they do. I know a few fools who stay on COD: Modern Warfare 2 on their PS3.
Thanks but no thanks Most. I'm here complaining about video game heads & you're telling my how to make my bf's gaming experience more fulfilling?! LOL. I've had every video game console known to man in my home (thanks to my 3 younger siblings) so I'm up on the video game thing but I prefer intellectual stimulation. *shrug*
5. Hair any longer than a dark Caesar & depending on your hair grade a dark Caesar may even be too much. Everyone does NOT have natural waves! Please don’t force me to embarrass you by telling you this!
^^^
This! Dudes be permin their hair for waves n shyt. Big up to the natural cats! lol…
What's #4? lol
Umm, let me think…
I don't have anything quirky…some things are the obvious…like droopy pants…does anyone really like that style of dress? I don't know anyone.
No Cornrows.
No long azz dreads to your azz…hair longer then mines. NO.
NO santa claus beards…the men in philly are famous for this. I hate it.
Men/people who say they don't eat pork…it rubs me the wrong way..because I eat pork and I cook pork…and I just don't want nobody frowning their nose up at me….you don't eat pork but you smoke cigarretes and drink like a fish…all self-righteous with your non-pork status…get outta here.
People who smoke cigarretes. I just can't.
Amen to the cigarettes and pants.
co-sign on the smoking. bleh.
I triple cosign the smoking….of anything 🙂 I have allergies.
*you need to look into marijuana vaporizers…just sayin. with that…everyones happy.
dayl8 aka HM…I have allergies! You don't want me sneezing my pretty lil head off do you?
1) Bed sheets.
If you're a grown, working man, please have a decent set of bed sheets and blanket with a duvet cover or SOMETHING going on. Kohls has a sale. If you don't, but know I'm coming over, rent some.
2) Pots and pans.
Obviously, domestics is important to me lol. I don't care if you're a bachelor. You should be able to at least cook Ramen noodles. Boil water.
3) A social cause.
If a brother reveals a desire to bring potable water to a developing country or stop human trafficking, whew…he's got me lol
Spitting….if we are not playing ball or some sort of sport…you absolutely should not spit! Randomly walking down the street and spitting. That ish so effing disgusting. A dude can be close to a 10 and if I see him do that, he'll have no chance in hell.
Long fingernails….it's just nasty. Cut them sh*ts. Looking like Edward Scissor Hands….or the coke nail on the pinky finger…yuck.
Bad teeth…well I don't expect them to be perfect (everyone isn't as lucky as me…yeah I said it) they need to be well taking care of w/ as little damage as possible. Plus I find that people with bad teeth usually have bad BREAF…yes…BREAF b/c when it smells that bad it's not longer breath.
Picky eaters…I like trying different foods, so me and picky eaters don't mesh too well. Besides, after about 12 it's just not cute to ONLY eat Ramen Noodles and French Fries. Step your food game up.
you and i would not get along at all. i don't eat seafood, mashed or baked potatoes, any type of greens (outside of string beans and broccoli), apples or condiments.
@ Tunde
That's not bad…I can rock with that. As long as you're not annoying with it.
Like we had a family breakfast, and my step brother is so picky he cooked his own food and we had to wait for him…smh. He likes everything practically burned.
WTF do you eat?!?!
Yeah … I can't stand picky eaters. The mash potatoes are a staple. And no seafood? What?
Your entire list LaBakir is on POINT! I once dated a guy who had nails longer than mine. He told me he kept them long because he hated his stubby fingers. Whaaaaaa?
Thanks BP!
LMAO @ his logic!!! Those hands probably looked terrible.
A couple of weeks ago I wouldn't give my friend dap b/c his nails were so long. I think I hurt his feelings a little…but it made him look like a fiend.
@ LaBakir
LOL! Stop it. You are killing me!!!! I thought the same thing.
I actually like long nails on men…well maybe not long, but long-ish. Sans gunk underneath, of course.
@ LaBakir, I bet you he went home and cut his nails…LOL
@ Max…really? What about chex time and if he wants to *cough* insert his fingers *cough*…
@ BP
Max better get it together before dude gives her a hysterectomy,lol
@ LaBakir look above this post. I responded in the wrong place…figures, because I can't laugh this hard and do anything right.
Ha ha ha ha cosign cosign cosign!!
Whooo thats just so awful! I hate that spitting from a woman or a man like use a tissue or into a trash can…
And no littering yes I am a semi-tree hugger. I do my part to keep Momma Earth clean it is not necessary to throw garbage on the ground when there is a trash can 5ft from you. Litterbug be gone!
Here are some things I make snap judgments on when it comes to women:
1: Make-Up – The first thing I look at on a woman is her face. I don't mind make up, at all, when it's done right. But, if you're matching your make-up to your clothes, and you're wearing purple… not cute. Also, please don't be excessive with it like you went to Jermaine Jackson's make up artist.
2: Hair – If I can tell it's a weave or a wig at first glance, immediate turn off. And if you're gonna go short, keep that ish tight. I like short hair… a lot actually, just keep it edged up and done properly.
3: Stupidity – Ditzy-ness in woman is sexy… sometimes… like, if your first thought at hearing something is way off… we can laugh together when I point out how off you were. But, if after really thinking hard about something, you still FAIL… yuk.
4: Black Republicans who aren't wealthy. If you're wealthy and a Black Republican, I'm not really feeling you, but, I can at least understand that you wanna hold on to your money… if you're of middle income and a black republican just because… you're an idiot.
5: I don't like people who clearly didn't pay attention in elementary school. I don't care how many degrees you have, there are some basic things you learned in elementary school that are needed for conversation, for movie watching, and for life in general. If you can't keep up, I'll be annoyed. What are the 2 parts of a basic sentence. What is women's suffrage? What are the 3 branches of Federal Government. What are the first 10 amendments of the constitution known as, What year were the following: Emancipation Proclamation, Civil Rights Act, and the assignation dates of Malcolm, Martin and JFK. To me that's all basic information we all need to know.
6: People who write exactly how they talk.
7: People who use the word "mines" or "pacific" (instead of specific).
Pacific?! On this here planet?!
igga didn't you write a whole post in patwa last week? 🙂
You must have me confused – I speak absolutely no patwa.
I think RCLS wrote in patois last week, not TMIMW.
Oh right.
My yout, yuh fi read di bloodclaat name dem pan tap ah di post dem and stop confuse bad man fi duppy.
English: Yea, that was me.
LMAO @ "bad man fi duppy!"
I thought RCLS was a duppy :-/
Now why would you think I was a duppy?
*googling "duppy"*
I def agree with Most on a lot of these.
For the basic knowledge, I would amend that if you don't know, you should have the capacity to RESEARCH and teach yourself.
Ill keep it real, I vaguely remember Martin Malcolm and JFK's assassination year, but I damn sure would look it up. At least be in the ballpark.
lol
When I re-read that, I really meant the year on the assinations. Dates are like bonus points. But… in general, I just hate when women don't know the basics. All that stuff you learn in school before college is useful. It actually does come up in conversation and in movies, and I hate having to explain stuff because now I look like the show off, when really, I just paid attention in 7th grade history.
This is why "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" is a popular show. My sister told me to watch it once. The show basically is a fifth grade proficiency test. After the show went off, it reaffirmed my belief that most people are idiots.
Damn you have a good memory! I am the kind of person that if I don't know the answer I will look it up, definitions too… I am always in learn mode!
My mother is a Republican.. The last election was a heated time in my house.. She can't give me any other reason other than "I vote issues" to support her decision. I tell her that if she was around back then, she would've drank the kool-aid..
I can't even begin to explain the many ways that this annoys the crap out of me..
This is a good list. I just have to make a clarification on the ditzy-ness vs being straight dumb. Since I date sexy chocolate brothas it's important for me to know the history and culture, but, since I wasn't raised around black people, there are a lot of things that I don't understand and I'll ask and I've been given the mean side eye. I have to explain to people that as a messikan I was sheltered way too much so I don't know. Once they explain, best believe I go home and do additional research on the topic.
This has happened a lot more often ever since I discovered SBM, 3 Ways, and other "black" blogs. I love learning though, it just fascinates me.
I'll take that side eye before I pretend to know something I don't though – I hate when people front like they're in the know when they just aren't…I'm smart, I don't have to pretend to know EVERYTHING, particularly if it's culture/region specific (ie "duppy").
Word going to Google duppy right now!!!
That throat itching noise
a lot of menpeople do!! >_< *bangs head against wall*what if you have allergies?
it still gross 😛
hater. lol *scratches throat*
Yall too funny. But um…
1. Black Republican…..das like bein a Jewish Nazi. I will not date you. Correction, I may date you long enough to eff you and turn you into a super freak just to make you hate yourself you sexually repressed sell out.
2. Women who watch "Meet the Browns" or "House of Pain." …….Really?
3. I borrowed this one – The person lets whatever they are apart of be their identity such as Greek Affiliation…leave the matrix & get a life.
Phaaa. I dated a women that like to where her Greek jacket…..and we both was over 30 *&^%$#%^$ WTF. I wanted to tell her everytime…..Take that ish off!!
"Phaaa. I dated a women that like to where her Greek jacket…..and we both was over 30 *&^%$#%^$ WTF. I wanted to tell her everytime…..Take that ish off!!"
She probably went Grad. (No disrespect to folks who went grad… that's just a tell tale sign).
J: "Women who watch “Meet the Browns” or “House of Pain.” …….Really?"
THIS! Men who watch these shows are even worse!
I totally agree that Meet the Browns is horrible. But the two women who plays Lamman's wife and niece are very aesthetically pleasing to watch.
Bump them! Hmmmm…Lamman Rucker…and Lance Gross….*licks lips*
YESSS! at "Meet the Browns" and "House of Payne"! I've never seen "Meet the Browns," but I can testify that "House of Payne" is a hooot mess! I watched about 5 minutes of one episode when the show first started and I wish I could get those 5 minutes back. Absolutely awful. I don't get how people can sit through that show.
Meet the Browns and anything else TP related may be a regional issue. I went down South to visit relatives last year and not only was Meet the Browns required viewing, but when they started quoting and retellling the same lame jokes I seriously contemplated logging onto Ancestry.com and verifying my bloodline….
Phaa. Yeah I know what you mean. Tyler Perry fans get offended if you say anything bad about that dude. So I learn to keep my mouth shut cause a lot of women like him. I will be boycotting his next movie which features an all star cast of women to be abused by black men. LOL
God bless the Boondocks for roasting him!
1. No college degree. If you're an adult over 25 years of age THERE IS NO EXCUSE why you shouldn't have at least one college degree somewhere in your possession.
2. Don't own a car/no license. Ok, this was cool when we were all broke and in HS. You're grown now, get your -ish together.
3. Excessive body hair. Oh Lawd, hairy legs and armpits turn my stomach quicker than a Chipotle Burrito with everything.
4. Stuck in Princess mode. Despite what Daddy told you, you aren't a princess and no one has to cater to your lazy ass.
5. Jesus Freaks. Am I a Christian? Yup. Do I want to hear all about you how you got saved or listen to you quote scripture on a date? Um, no. And Sunday mornings you can find me right at Bedpost Baptist waiting for the afternoon games to come on.
6. Broke-ass Ballin' Chicks If your purse costs more than your monthly take home and there's nothing in it except empty lipsticks, gum and the cell phone that's been cut off for over a month. You might need to think up a new plan #justsayin
Am I reading this correctly? You judge people if they are over 25 and don't have a degree? What about those who chose to go into fields where a degree isn't necessary? Or, those whose life circumstances just kept them from getting a degree?
I mean if you had every opportunity to go to school and passed with lame excuses like "College ain't fer everybody", or some BS like that.
Neither one of my parents went to college, so it became mandatory that my sister and I attended.
I put myself through college and grad school and [sorry] but it really pisses me off when I hear [us] people talking about how they're being kept down and can't find a job.
And the "evil white man" excuses.
I'm guessing the majority of the people on this forum are in their mid-late 20s or early-mid 30s and I honestly can't think of any decent reason why anyone of Black/Latino/Insert Minority Here descent would not want to arm themselves with a proper education.
Thank you Sane.. because I read his #1 and had something very much to say.. and thank you Eddie, for clarifying.. you were about to get tha business… (and not the good kind)
Yea I can't co-sign the 25 and degree comment. I don't know a single plumber/electrician/officer/mechanic/ with a college degree. But I know a number of them with nice houses and cars lol.
Aww man…the only thing faster than that backtrack you just did is Usain Bolt's 40 time. #cmonson! Don't let the comment board bullies gang up on you! Grab ya nuts, plant ya feet and stand by what you said!!
he really did.
I was thinking as I read that–they are YOUR QUIRKS. own em dude!
damn son. way to call him out though. lol
I didn't see him backtracking here, I saw an explanation. In fact, in that first paragraph, he essentially repeated that if you CHOSE not to get a degree he still judges.
Y'all hush up w/ calling people e-bullies before I e-kick you in the shins.
you say explained. we say backpedaled. same thing. he really didn't owe you an explanation.
matter of fact, unless you have special circumstances i feel the same way. i prefer chicks who went to college. #ThugLife
I guess my version of backpedaling means to essentially contradict what you said and/or "take it back". Elaborating on a comment is something that is done frequently on here so I didn't realize it was commonly known as backtracking.
I can more than understand having a preference for someone with a college degree (and assumed that you had that preference actually). My issue was more with the implication that he holds the lack of one against anyone over 25, whether he's dating them or otherwise. Either way, everyone's entitled to their opinions. *shrugs*
That's what I was thinking, too. Everybody's not going to fit into your quirk or like your quirk. It's alright, lol. You didn't have to soften the blow. I'm sure you have and will make exceptions to this quirk, as we all have and will to our own quirks at some point. That's a given. No explanation or justification needed.
Anyway, I co-sign #1. Education matters to me. It's not uncommon for me to ask someone "Are you in school?" or "Where did you go to school?" Do I automatically throw them shade if they didn't go to college? No. But, I'll be interested to know why. I'm in grad school and I teach college classes. In short, I like school, you should, too LOL.
I didn't find Eddie's explanation any different than when there was a small backlash about the anti-weave sentiment and some of the guys explained that they meant obvious weave. I also didn't find it any different than when some women felt the urge to further explain why they didn't like short men aside from it just being their preference. *shrugs*
Also, I read Eddie's statement to go beyond dating/potential life mate, which is why I said something.
And that's cool, lol.
>:0[ Figures the day our servers at work slow down to a crawl ya'll give me the American History X shower scene treatment.
I'm a little older than some you guys, so every potential date/mate could become something more "permanent". And unless I happen to marry a Kardashian or someone with that kind of cash you better believe I will not be carrying a non-college grad over the threshold….
Someone who doesn't enjoy to travel. <— that right there is my number one (not superficial) deal breaker in a man. I need a man who owns a passport and is applying for new pages in that bad boy.
A general conversationalist. Someone who can speak on any topic in public and not look like a fool. Sometimes you have to be man candy at an event but you need to do more than look good.
Not a club booty. If you need to spend 4/7 nights of the week at The Park we won't work.
just out of curiosity, what countries have you been to?
Bad drivers: This is probably because I was in a hit-and-run accident, but nothing turns me from Bruce Banner to the Hulk faster than bad driving. And I live in the capital of bad driving. This leads to…
People who use their cell phones while driving: Some people can do it without a problem. A lot of people can’t. Nothing is more irritating than someone drifting between lanes, doing 30 mph in a 50 mph zone, just to drive around them and see them clucking away on the phone. Please drive into that concrete retaining wall just ahead and kill yourself, post haste. Thank you.
Ditto-heads: This usually isn’t a problem for me because of my more eccentric thoughts, but you have to be able to think for yourself. I could care less if you agree with me or not, but you have to be able for form your own opinions.
People who get their entire worldview from music and movies: Read a damn book and think for yourself. Jay-Z is not WEB Dubois. For example: I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “I plead the fifth” before the Malcolm X movie came out and rappers started saying it. As proof, most people know about the self-incriminating part of the fifth amendment, but look at you like a deer in the headlights if you ask them what the double jeopardy clause is (hint: it's in the fifth amendment).
The police: F*ck them all with a rusty flagpole.
People who ask stupid questions that they can easily answer themselves: Like my co-worker that regularly asks me what time is it or what the date is. Look at the lower right corner of your computer screen, dumb a$$!
Women that can’t cook: You don’t have to be Rachel Ray or anything, but you’re 22 and don’t know how to make rice? Complete and utter fail.
People who aren’t smart and try to BS people: Before you open your mouth, Mr. or Ms. Know-It-All, let me warn you that I’m pretty smart and I read a lot. Keep that in mind before discussing politics, history, philosophy, religion, or just about any other topic with me. I will call you out, and in humiliating detail if necessary.
My boss: Can’t you see I’m commenting on SBM.org? Don't you have some work to do? Leave me alone!
People who use their cell phones while driving: Some people can do it without a problem. A lot of people can’t.
^ THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!! c/s bad drivers too…or people who think speeding means you got the wheel.
My friend has a Pathfinder that she treats like a sports car. And she SWEARS she can drive! I've never been so scared in my life when we were riding back from MD. She's thinking she can "beat" a damn 18 wheeler…hitting curves at 90 miles an hour. This chick doesn't know how a car works!
My heart just speed up thinking about that sh*t.
My boss: Can’t you see I’m commenting on SBM.org? Don’t you have some work to do? Leave me alone!
^ Exactly! Bounce from my work space!
Quirks of an officer:
Hugh Jazz: f*ck you with a rusty Baton
I'm sure most cops would like to do just that. And then there would be some sort of "independent investigation" and they would be exonerated.
2 traffic tickets later, I stopped using the phone while I'm driving. I was tired, and not focusing and ran a red. Which isn't a good thing when I don't have a license. The fact that I could've gone to jail that night made me stop using the cell phone while I'm driving..
It could've been so much worse, and I'm glad it wasn't..
People under-estimate just how much their senses are impaired when they're using a phone.. they think they're more talented than they are..
A few death-worthy quotables:
“If you’re afraid of technology … then I’m afraid I can’t buy you dinner.”
"The person lets whatever they are apart of be their identity such as Greek Affiliation…leave the matrix & get a life."
"A Saggy Booty
YO! For some reason, I always thought that men had firm behinds, cuz that’s what I knew. I was making out with this guy last year and I grabbed this OBSCENE hand full of flesh. Like his booty was falling off it’s skeletal frame. It’s nasty and I dried up more than the Sahara in August."
My list:
1. Dudes that make a big deal about what I do, what I make, or how much I work.
Yes, I make decent money; I'm not swimming in dough, but I do ok for a single lady. I had a dude that needed to remind me every 20 seconds how I "make the big bucks" and I swear I wanted to slap him w/a stack of 20s every time lol
2. Not being technically savvy
I'm a techie. Very much so. If you still have a Windows Mobile phone (why do those still exist?) or we can't have a simple conversation about anything remotely technical, you are dead to me. Oh – and I know it's not the most personal thing ever, but I text…and I email…all from my beloved blackberry….if you can't get with it, get lost. Stop b*tching about me not answering my phone…and respond to my email. #teamblackberry
3. Getting into the sexual details too fast
Can we decide if we wanna sit across the table from each other before you bust out "what's your favorite position and why?" I mean really….you just guaranteed you'll never see it, so what does it matter?
4. Getting wasted all the time/being a closet alcoholic
There's nothing wrong w/having a drink and/or keeping alcohol at your house, but if the folks @ the ABC store know you by name, and you're sitting at home drinking this liquor at the house ALONE all the time, there might be a problem you need to discuss w/a professional.
5. Not being open-minded
My inner fat girl and my inner child like to get out and try new things….so if you're not open to even try anything but your same routine, find a nice pile of rocks and get to it.
6. No sense of humor.
That is all.
7. Holding grudges
I can stay mad about something for a few minutes, but neither my memory nor my attention span are long enough to walk around trying to remember something you said yesterday that made me mad. Get over it.
LOL As a techie I would have to hope that it depends on the version of Windows Mobile. If its 6.5 they should get a pass. Windows Phone looks pretty nice too, but it's not out yet.
3. Getting into the sexual details too fast
Can we decide if we wanna sit across the table from each other before you bust out “what’s your favorite position and why?” I mean really….you just guaranteed you’ll never see it, so what does it matter?
— Church. Tabernacle. Temple. Mosque. Chapel.
I absolutely hate when we are 30 minutes into a conversation and they ask "What's your favorite position?" or "How many 'spots' do you have?" NINJA please! At that point, I'm done. Hang the phone up. Good night.
SMARTPHONE – a good friend of mine has a flip phone, i told her that it's worse than wearing bad shoes…
as for my pet peeves
1. STYLE – if you can't dress then i can't be seen in public with you. how am i gon be fresher than you EVERY TIME we hang out #nobueno
2. MUSIC – if you like wack music then you're probably wack. i'm a DJ for Christ's sake! i can't be associated with wack music listeners.
Here's my list:
1. Men who are afraid of bugs. I don't expect you to kill spiders with your bare hands <del>like I do</del> but nothing dries up the well faster than watching a grown man with his arms flailing, squealing like a little b!tch because he saw "a bee! A BEE!!!!"
2. Men who own cats. It's just creepy.
3. Men who watch Cops. Nothing says "I'm stupid" to me like a man who considers Cops high entertainment.
lol at the bugs part. I know a guy who is deathly afraid of roaches. I remember one time he literally jumped on a table at the sight of a freakin' roach and I had to kill the roach for him. That was a mess.
I mean, roaches are nasty, but for real, son?!?!
i think black people who own cats period are creepy.
A man with cats weirds me out too. Well, it actually screams "soft" to me.
I have to be honest, I could be here all day with quirks. I'm a picky person, there are few people who don't do something that gets on my nerves.
While i'm not a Black Republican, I can tell that most people who say that Black Republicans are dumb, are probably less intelligent than the Black Republicans… I however, won't be having that argument here.
Peace y'all.
"I have to be honest, I could be here all day with quirks. I’m a picky person, there are few people who don’t do something that gets on my nerves."
This. lol
what about if she has 4 nails painted one color and one a different color? *shrug*
what i can't stand:
loud women (or people for that matter). learn how to use your inside voice.
crusty heels or feet.
lack of ambition. not everyone has the same goals but at least have something that you're shooting for.,
uggs.
when women wear weaves and they pull them into a ponytail but i can see your beady beads on your neck underneath your weave. *shudder*
fake eyelashes
women who clearly have a misconception on what size they really are. if you are a 12 please stop squeezing into an 8. and on that note i don't like excessive fat rolls.
beady beads? I DIED at that.
Oh and that misconception of size thing is big here in Cali. Ma'm you can't breathe take that off!!!
Just to nitpick…
You send "tweets" not "twits".
Learn your Ralph Lauren if you are going to complain…
http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?prod…
I'm just saying.
Yea… that's still not the same team of Polo players she got going on. And the logo? Really??
Ummm, welcome!
Not that your opinion isn't appreciated, but try to join in on the conversation, even if you're really commenting just to point out "mistakes".
Qwirks
– When men can't think. I'm not talking about uneducated people; I'm talking about educated people who simply regurgitate opinions and common information….the inability to think beyond the 2nd degree
– Dirty/unclean shoes
-Smacking when chewing food
-Bad table manners
-Very Soft hands
–
lol wow, soft hands though?!
Idk girl..there is something about cotton-pickin' hands I like.
I also don't like incredibly fancy men. Go cut a damn tree.
I shook hands with a kid (probably around 17 or 18), and the palm of his hand was as soft as Charmin. I've never felt a woman's hands that were that soft. It was very disturbing.
1) Man Butt. I'm trying to get over this b/c every person has a butt. But man butt is just… yea. I don't know. I'm working on it. #dontjudgeme
2. Man Feet. OMG. PLEASE for the love of all that is holy & righteous, do something w/ those feet. If I have to see em I'm gon need you to spend some quality time w/ a PedEgg, Lotion & a nail clipper.
3- Mandals. I can't. I just can't. I can do those Adidas/Nike Slides w/ socks. That's cool as long as we aren't really going anywhere. I can also do those leather flip flops from Abercrombie if your feet are right. However, I need you to never purchase the sandals Jesus wore. Ever. I'm writing that in my wedding vows.
4) Fingers/Fingernails. Don't look like you just ate your hands for lunch. All that biting – unattractive. Extra long nails – unattractive. No nails at all – unattractive. Fat fingers – unattractive.
5. Horrible spelling. I am a texter. I'm okay with phone conversations but I love little pick me up texts throughout the day. If your spelling is so bad I'm questioning your intellect, we are soooo done. I understand textspeak so I'm not talking about the shortened version of words to make your text 160 characters or less. I mean the text I got from a guy that said:
I onli werk dis job cuz Imam real clus to beein retayired.
WTF?!
So Flyy: "I can do those Adidas/Nike Slides w/ socks. That’s cool as long as we aren’t really going anywhere. I can also do those leather flip flops from Abercrombie if your feet are right. However, I need you to never purchase the sandals Jesus wore. Ever."

1976 – 2010
My quirks…
Excessive cologne usage.
–I hate walking into a room< and knowing a man wearing Polo Black was there. I hate it!! The only way I should be able to smell you is if I get close to you. Standing or sitting near you. And the scent is still light, but I know its there. I love that!!
–bad hands and feet. I know you're not a woman, but I shouldn't get a cut if I shake your hand. Lotions, butters, and oils are your friend, too.
–awkwardly shaped heads(pause). See, the Manning brothers. I know you can't help the size and shape of your head, but its just one of things I just can't tolerate. And yes, I am talking about the head you think with, not the other one.
–Uncircumcised… I just can't. Maybe that's what ya'll do in the islands, but when you move to the US, you need have that ish taken care of immediately.
Uncircumcised… I just can't. Maybe that's what ya'll do in the islands, but when you move to the US, you need have that ish taken care of immediately.
Wowwww, for real????
Umm… circumcision involves cutting the foreskin off man-man….
If it didn't happen when the Doc slap my arse as a baby, it ain't happening now.
lol. yeah, I know. I can get over it if everything else is great. IDK, though. The first time I saw one, it kinda freaked me out a little. I got over that quickly, though. Still, IDK.
not true.
I know a couple of home girls in medical school who can hook it up for you…
no lie.
pause!
and keeping with the no homo theme I agree with NIA. My sons will be cut, it makes it some much better looking. Pause Pause Pause Pause Pause!
Another quirk of mine:
Brawds das on Jay-Z's nutts a little too much…
C'mon baby…..Pac and Nas are the best…..and that MTV unplugged joint is the most overrated hip hop CD of all time. I know like 5 Go Go bands that rock Jay-Z songs 20 times better.
Here's a few from me if they were sd already my bad:
1) Women who smoke – I had to grow up with 2 parents who smoked, taking lyears off my life that I hope I got back from all this healthy workout sh*t. its just nasty I dont want to kiss an ashtray. If this was the 1920s-40s I'd probably say otherwise. Now? Chill shawty
2) insecure women – You have to have a certain self confidence and security about you. If youre the type to question a man every move and always think someones out to steal him from you, then maybe you won't have him for long…
3)Out of shape women/women who dont care about their appearance – save for the extremem examples, I hate when women dont want to be in good shape, or shrug it off liek its nothing. I know the whole "comfy in my skin" excuse, but I just take pride in being healthy and trying to maintain a healthy body. I dont want to get into the Spanx/Girdle debate but..yall know what it is
4) Air-Heads – Completely unnattractive. If I cant have an in-depth convo with you go => way!
5) Women who arent self sufficient – Fancy's last verse by Drake sums it up.
Thats all I can think of for now
"3)Out of shape women/women who dont care about their appearance – save for the extremem examples, I hate when women dont want to be in good shape, or shrug it off liek its nothing. I know the whole “comfy in my skin” excuse, but I just take pride in being healthy and trying to maintain a healthy body. I dont want to get into the Spanx/Girdle debate but..yall know what it is."
son you have no idea how this grinds my gears. i'm sorry but don't get mad at me if i have preferences and those preferences don't include fat rolls. even though i'm slim i work hard in the gym to maintain my appearance. i expect nothing less from the woman i'm interested in.
One more quirk…
— men with wide hips. Yes, there are men with hips, and I am immediately turned off. I like butts on dudes (one of the reasons why I love football season) but hips? No soup for you!!!
HA! That just reminded me of an episode of 'Girlfriends' when Joan dated that man with the big hips. lol
Oh – I forgot to add:
8. Being a cat person.
As someone else said, this is just creepy
9. Not knowing things.
I mean like general knowledge, keeping up w/the world around you….watching the news, reading something other than worldhiphop.com…in other words, don't be stupid. especially in front of my friends.
10. Not watching sports.
O_o
Speaking of which….#MNF…Geaux #Saints!
*runs back to my meeting*
Yo..I'm in Europe..and I'm STRUGGLING not being able to watch my Saints!
#TEAMGeauxSaints
– I don't like it when men or people use 2 instead of to or too (aside from tweeting or texting)or any other number instead of the word in an email or online ad or something
-Spelling—-dealbreaker status—it's definitely (not definately) or some other relatively simple word…if Webster can't help you, get Dictionary.com, spellcheck, whoever. That doesn't make any sense
-Reading- agree with SBM
-Ugly/bad hands (voluntarily)- if you can't put lotion on your hands because it's not "masculine", no thanks. I actually have a friend who has refused lotion because he said ashiness is masculine. WTF??! Reggin if you going out with me, put some lotion on your d#mn hands!
*Also, scars/cuts/bruises….get some cocoa butter…they don't have to be silky smooth hands, but I don't want it to look OR feel like you've been breaking bricks with your hands….
More to come I'm sure
My quirks:
-men who have bitten nails that look like nubs.
-men who imitate a woman's-grandma's voice when trying to be funny. RUN for the hills and DON'T look back.
-sloo-footed men with such HIGH butts, they look like they switch. It just grosses me out.
-men who bring the conversation back to how awesome THEY are.
-men who have a scripture for every answer. But you sweepin a shop floor with ya "blessed are duh" self. Whatevs.
-swearing machine. Can't take you anywhere. This will not even begin let along make it.
-guys who say, "oooh, that's deeep."
-a-holes who snap on waiters, waitstaff, etc. Get over yourself.
-I'd muzzle anyone who speaks in 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th person like they did beetlejuice. Nobody wants to hear that sh!t.
-men who talk to any and every damn body they meet. Let's goooo! Shhhhhhhh!t, I'm going to miss the movie fckin around with you.
-I second the man boobs, men who spit and men who are afraid of bugs. Gross. Kill them dammit. Because I'm going to run.
-Yo azz don't read books…but..you just read signs. Don't even ask me out.
-Your toes point at or lie on each other.
-texturizers or anything outside of a regular hair cut or decent locs- now's the time to accept your age and that this sh!t aint gon fly with me. Why are you getting more ish done to your hair than me? Mmmmmm= gay.
-know another language (other than Spanish) in sentences. You get big points from me. I'm not referring to knowing how to day, "Hola mami!" in Spanish. That sh!t isn't impressive.
-Poppin gum. I don't give a damn how sexy you think you are, poppin' gum is the LAST indication that you're sexy.
-earrings. just not a fan of it at all.
-wardrobe- Have something for each occasion please. I will not accompany you to a semi-formal event and you're in rocka wear. Not I, said the cat.
-the mispronunciation of basic words spoken with confidence.
-Keep your hands to yourself. Damn homie.
-something seems to always "not be working" (my phone, my card, my ____)…and guess what, it's NOT working out.
I'll go ahead and stop here.
Your toes point at or lie on each other.
SLAUGHTERED!!! LMAO!!!
ETA: meant to be read "say", "Hola mami!" lol and for Kill them (as in the bugs, not the people).
had to come back and say this…You never know…
I applaud your peeve on wardrobe. I'm amazed at how many dudes don't have at least one decent suit.
Every man should at some point OWN a tuxedo as well. Get a tailor for goodness sakes. You shouldn't look like you're wearing your dad's suits.
sorry for going on a tangent lol
What am I James Bond over here? 🙂 Can't cosign your tux theory.
I can't imagine not owning a tux. I mean, I bought mine a while back and it was just over a stack. Since then, I've worn it at least 5 or 6 times. When you compare that to renting a tux 5 or 6 times at around 200 a pop… it makes sense.
And yeah, a man can never have too many suits. Different events require different types of suits.
Lastly – if you own a suit with more than 3 buttons… kill yourself.
I'm just thinking in terms of your average brotha. People who wear tuxes often……its almost always work related. Like you work in politics, hollywood or have some high profile job. But unless your job requires you to wear a tux you probably won't need one anytime soon.
A tux is a suit, but a suit isn't necessarily a tux.
I agree with Most.. I invested in a really nice tux and have already recuperated the $$$ I would've spend on rentals.
If you are not wearing a tux twice a year, you are probably doing something wrong.
You fancy, huh? 😉
Obviously these are preferences and we all have ours, but for the record *faces the stenographer* owning a tux is in no way a DEAL BREAKER to me. *shrug*
-a-holes who snap on waiters, waitstaff, etc. Get over yourself.
Co-sign. For me, it's always a chick that's like: "I was a waitress for X years, and I know …"
"texturizers or anything outside of a regular hair cut or decent locs- now’s the time to accept your age and that this sh!t aint gon fly with me. Why are you getting more ish done to your hair than me? Mmmmmm= gay."
YES!!!!
Peeves…
-Women that don't know what looks good on them. I also place some of the blame on their friends.
-No passion. There has to be something that gets you excited about.
-No interest in music. I listen to an absurd amount of music and you have to at least be interested in some of it; even if its music I have no interest in.
-Overly independent. I understand you don't need me to provide for you but if you constantly put it out there how independent you are I have no interest to be in your life. You clearly have no spot for me.
OMG how could I forget my ultimate turn-off?
Men who work out to slowjams.
That is just….<del>ghey</del> not normal.
That's hilarious.
One more….
Men who are really into astrology, and what each sign means in every area of life. IDk, but I kinda hate it. I understand reading horoscopes for fun, but when you really take that ish to heart to the point where you can only date certain signs, or be friends with certain signs, or you can't make a decision unless the stars are aligned correctly, I can't co-sign any of that.
Cosign… find a religion or something… sheesh…
Yeah females asking me my sign and then telling me all about myself……huge turn off. Makes me think you are crazy.
Even worse…….people that are supposed to be christians but they are super sticious and believe in astrology.
(PS…I stopped blessing people when they sneeze cause truthfully……what scripture is that from?)
Even more so… Women that describe themselves as an astrology sign. I'm sorry, when you say "I'm a typical Sagittarius," I don't know what that means and I don't feel like I know you any better. To me it just says, that you don't know how to communicate. You are a WOMAN and the topic is YOU. You should have a field day…
I'm a Christian and I like astrology and am somewhat superstitious–in a jokingly way. it doesn't consume my life…
Oh so wrong 🙂 Put your faith in Jesus
@ J
always… its not about faith, its just fun. *shrugs*
Oh yes. I can't help but roll my eyes in my head…
Oh it's because I'm a Scorpio that I can't stand liars? OH! Thanks that's so helpful that I'm absolved of all personal responsibility and free will. Then don't take it personally that I'm fixin to take a tack hammer to your head as well, it's just because I'm a Scorpio, but you already knew that right?
*exaggerated for effect*
I can handle the people that read astrology in fun, but when someone says "oh you're a Scorpio" and dead serious tells me that that explains a lot…I get so annoyed. It tells you approximately when I was born. That's it.
– Women who smoke. That's nasty. 2nd-hand smoke kills. How are you saying you want to be with me long-term, but killing me slowly? You say you want kids? Just gonna suddenly stop smoking? lies… Then have the nerve to say stuff like, "I can't mess with a dude that doesn't smoke." I don't even let my friends smoke in my house. Stand your arse on the porch and I'm closing the doors and windows. How are you gonna let the government and tobacco companies pimp your LIFE?!?! Do you know how much of the what you're paying are "taxes"?!?! They just turned you into cattle. You got hustled.
– People who are slow getting out of a car. I know it sounds strange, but I'm driving and I'm set to get out. You should not have to spend an extra 2 minutes "getting ready" to get out a car when you were the passenger. We got stuff to do and I'm trying to lock my doors!
– Matter-of-factual people. Mofos who like to randomly correct you strictly for the sake of hearing themselves correct you. So what if I had a slip of the tongue. If I became a vegetable today, I'll still use more of my brain than you. EEG.
– Big talkers. Just shut-up. Women think it's cute. It's not when I find out you'll full of sh*t. Good-day.
– Women with rough hands. My hands aren't soft, but your hands are like you've been slap boxing with a cactus. Just scaly… Wtf have you been doing?
– Women without a hobby. Going to the club and watching reality TV shows doesn't count. This is an epidemic. "Read a book, read a book, read a m*thaf*ckin book"
"People who are slow getting out of a car. I know it sounds strange, but I’m driving and I’m set to get out. You should not have to spend an extra 2 minutes “getting ready” to get out a car when you were the passenger. We got stuff to do and I’m trying to lock my doors!"
I hate people that get out of cars fast. they lock the damn doors before you even reach for the handle. SUPER PET PEEVE. I guess I'm the kind you hate, lol
Back at cha'… lol
I hate people that get out of cars fast. they lock the damn doors before you even reach for the handle.
LMAO! This is so me. I just figure that when the ignition is turned off, the doors will be opened. If my door is open, and I'm preparing to get out, so should everyone else. lol.
do you even let the car roll to a complete stop?!
yall crazy. I will not be rushed. LMAO
"do you even let the car roll to a complete stop?!"
Tuck n' roll… LOL
@Reecie
LOL!!
@MeteorMan
co-sign. lol.
"How are you gonna let the government and tobacco companies pimp your LIFE?!?! Do you know how much of the what you’re paying are “taxes”?!?! They just turned you into cattle. You got hustled."
I understand the idea of not wanting to be around smokers for health reasons, but the above quote is purely illogical. I'm pretty sure any vice that you procure through legal means has the sh*t taxed out of it. From my NY perspective, every thing gets that 8% added to it…clothes, booze, food, whips n' chains. We all get hustled home slice.
We're talking about peeves. It won't be logical. In NY, you all pay $2.75 extra in tax per 20 pack. That's on top of sales tax. Nothing personal, but in the presence of 2nd-hand smoke, this is what crosses my mind along with thoughts of my health.
http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/245.htm…
We all are getting hustled but I'm gonna do what ever it takes to come out on top. Controlled substances are one one many avenues. Let's not even go into how the stable part of banking system is structured. You'll cringe at how everyone gets paid during a natural disaster. Everyone except the victims.
I actually have no problem w/ the peeve part of it. When I wasn't a smoker, I'd be pissed everytime the smokers lit up, so I can understand not wanting your house to smell like cigarettes, but I'm not sure that the whole taxation should really be a factor. If they got 10 bucks a pack for some squares, then so be it. I'm pretty sure if you asked 10 smokers if their packs went up another 2 bucks would they stop smoking, you'd get 10 firm "no's". Likewise, I'm pretty sure if you're particular vice's price went up because of taxes or otherwise, you'd still cough up the dough.
No. The taxes on vices is not a factor on its peeve-ship. When it comes to psycho-physical addictions of course, it's acts similar to inelastic demand. So ten firm "nos" would be expected.
I only care when it's the psycho-physical addiction of a potential mate. (Everyone should?) To me, it is unattractive in smell, sight, and thought process (or lack there of). I won't judge or care about a stranger, but for a potential mate, I would least wonder what is the thought process the goes with that addiction. That's what I do, I wonder, I ponder…
If paper-based books became a vice, then MAYBE. Then there's libraries. If liquor, I'll either drastically reduce the frequency of purchase or not buy any, then again I'm not an alcoholic.
"People who are slow getting out of a car. I know it sounds strange, but I’m driving and I’m set to get out. You should not have to spend an extra 2 minutes “getting ready” to get out a car when you were the passenger. We got stuff to do and I’m trying to lock my doors!"
!!!! Testify!!! Did you not KNOW that when we got to the destination that we'd be exiting the vehicle? I've been DRIVING and I am ready, you've had the whole car ride to prep yourself for the deboarding! GET OUT!
I have a feeling this illogical rage will subside when I have kids. I try to be patient with the parents, I know they have to get the kids and all, but right now, when it's just two adults riding, it just befuddles me why they aren't ready when we get to the predetermined end location! It's not a surprise…let's go! *smh*
The thing that I have noticed that bothers me the most and matters to me the most is how clean they keep there home . !! There is nothing worse than a dude inviting you to his house and knowing that your coming , and does not clean his house or BATHROOM !! Yuk the worst experience I have had , and you know that ended that minute I left never to return again !! ugh!!! What a waste ..
"Lastly – if you own a suit with more than 3 buttons… kill yourself."
*dead* LMAO….hilarious!!!! And I agree, LOL
Here's the more-
-Don't like a man with "hips"—EX: John Legend and Robin Thicke, they both have hips….ughhh!!!
– Usually those suits that Most is talking about also come in a variety of colors with matching shoes, hats, handkerchief—I refuse to go out with anyone with a colored suit, other than the neutrals….staunchly AND adamantly refuse with extreme prejudice
new2natural: "Usually those suits that Most is talking about also come in a variety of colors with matching shoes, hats, handkerchief—I refuse to go out with anyone with a colored suit, other than the neutrals….staunchly AND adamantly refuse with extreme prejudice"
Cosign along with Most's comment. If your suit isn't black, gray, navy blue, or earth toned, and you're not a cartoon character, burn it. (with the possible exception of a white tuxedo in a wedding)
And in DC its Black, Gray or Blue. Even the earth tone is considered a little risky. DC is so conservative. I refuse to wear an overcoat. I hate them.
The five button suit………otherwise known as the Steve Harvey or Shaquile O'neal.
I agree with the earth tones. You can get away with them in some instances, but it's best to stick with black, gray and dark blue (emphasis on dark. No powder blue).
The only thing I can add to this list is effiminate hands on a man NO I'm not talkin about the texture (soft/smooth) that's always a PLUS in my book who wants to feel as if your body is being massaged/caressed with a cheese grater *shudders* but if your hands are daintier than mine (size, length and width) and your handshake has no strength to it.. That's a NOGO..
LOL I'll cosign this. I have small hands and (according to my friends) a "girly handshake." I don't want a man that shares those attributes.
OK……..yall dudes das gettin multiple uses out of your tuxes….yall gonna have to tell me where you wore them and what they look like.
I'm just not convinced the average dude needs a tux.
– Friend's guest at a Wedding
– Fraternity Scholarship banquet
– Company award recognition dinner
-Alumni black tie affair
And that was all in the period of a year. If you switch it up with a white or black french cuff shirt, bowties, ties, cufflinks, you can make more than a few nice outfits for black tie functions and semi-formal events.
OK. Pretty much what I expected. If you frequent these types of events I can understand. But like I said…the average dude could get by without one. Frat events are often black tie so I could understand owning one for that reason alone.
I'm in DC which is very conservative and even here, unless you frequent political events, or you work for a conservative law firm, you don't need one.
That's pretty much spot on. Everyone I know pretty much hits a period where they attend those type of events regularly. Especially weddings.
My work is government related and most government functions, unless they are political such as State Department, are not gonna be black tie. Government actually goes out of their way to be low profile because as soon as you throw a lavish black tie affair some d–khead on fox news is investigating "Your tax dollars being wasted." We don't even train people in Las Vegas because of the perception even though Vegas is one of the cheapest cities to visit.
Put me in the "no need to own" group. Unless the outing is specifically stated to be a black tie event, you can get by with a regular suit. Maybe it's just me, but unless I'm actually in the wedding party, I'm not wearing a tux to a wedding. And even then, you have to match what the other groomsmen are wearing, so tux ownership usually doesn't help you there either.
Or maybe I just need to get out more.
you don't need to get out more. unless it specifies black tie, a gala like others mentioned, you're good. I've been to sooooo many weddings and a suit is on par, unless you are a groomsmen.
Good Convo! Soo many I can co-sign with on here…I will give a few..
1.) Women who wear tight pants and you can see the panty lines – #Dead Boy shorts, thongs, bareback…something
2.) White pants with white drawls or panties….Seriously?
3.) People who kiss their dogs in the mouth or kiss their animals period….and YES some Black Folk do this!
4.) Lip piercings, Nose piercings, 10 holes in your ear…ummm what do you do for a living again??
5.) Ladies who cannot walk in heels…OMG – so unattractive and I LOVE LOVE LOVE a female with a mean walk in heels! smh
6.) Jeans with all that writing on the back of them…WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!? I know its a design…but c'mon son…you over 30…
7.) Cars with the Advertisments…Son, I know trix is for kids but do you HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND with that on your car?!?!?
8.) Going to Church and seeing people run all over the church "In the Spirit" I'm sorry, I am a fairly spiritual man but, running around the church? *sideeye*
9.) People on FB straight LYIN about their real lives… #DEAD# You are not the CFO of Chase…#iaintgottime
10.) People walking around in the club with Moet, Cristal, Rose' Bottles, etc …SERIOUSLY…you just gonna drink out the bottle huh? It tastes that good huh? #iaintgottime
its a shame that even a man knows white panties under white bottoms is a no no but so many women dont. your list made me laugh, but I dig it. 🙂
elitesmoove, I cosign your entire list. Especially the cars with advertisements. That's why my friend's cousin who is an underwriter for a car dealership says n!ggas don't deserve to drive in anything better than an Eagle Talon, because they'll just eff it up.
LMAO Let me add #iaintgottime to my list of TTs to use in the future.
I enjoyed this list!
Another nerve wrecking tidbit:
Chicks wearing Pajama bottoms out-n-about with a pair of Uptowns or Uggs. Who started this craze because it wasn't back then (2 years ago) and still isn't "CUTE" today it gives the impression that you just rolled out of bed and hit the pavement without washing your arse.
Hahahaha…. here's mine…
– you're a rapper or aspiring to be one. Um… bye
– having no goals, needs, aspirations, goals, wants, to better yourself.
– eff'd up teeth. If your teeth are post-it yellow we are done. I just can't. Like I don't care if you're THE man for me. Your teeth messed up it's a done deal.
– dressing/acting like a gangsta. a) you're not 2Pac b) grow up c) you live in the burbs
– Dress your age. I love a man with style. On some of that Ocean's ish, LOVE it. but please stop with the bejeweled shirts. It's tacky.
– being rude to others. Like really? what makes you holyier than thou?
– not being educated. Not eduhmacated, educated.
– eating like a kid. How old are you again? 28? and you still make a mess around your dinner plate and can't seem to find the purpose of a napkin?
Yeah I think that's it. Lol
lmao @ "bejeweled shirts"
*dead*
???
Yea soo…
What I like:
1– Intellect. You don't have to be as educated as I am (which most men aren't), but know how to hold a decent conversation. I refuse to dumb myself down, so be confident. Don't be afraid to grab that dictionary.
2– Swagger. I hate to consider myself a label whore as well…but I find that more expensive clothes look better. Dude has to be willing to invest in himself as I invest in my self. (or more)
3– Nice cars. I hate to admite this about myself, but I have a thing about nice cars. And NOOO it doesn't mean that I want to ride in it, but I have a nice car myself…so I like to see dude's taste in cars. It says a lot about them. Doesn't have to be a benz, but if it's a toyota and it's sexy then that'll be just fine.
4– Good hygiene. Don't let me see you go without showering or brushing your teeth. That's a big messy problem. I don't care if you just showered before we got it popping. U r messy now my dude so if we need to take this shower together then let's do it.
5– Willingness to learn. As I previously mentioned, dude doesn't have to be super intelligant, but be willing to learn and try new things. I'm adventurous and I need my partner to be the same.
6– Motivated. Complacency is just not acceptable.
7– Confidence
What I hate:
1– Insecurities
2– Laziness
3– Bad Breath
4– Followers
5– Tightie Whities
6– Ugly Feet
7– Nappy chest/pubic hairs
8– Braids
9– Missing teeth
10- Alcholics – ladies watch out. I find that men easily become alcoholics. It starts with drinking during the week or "needing a drink to fall asleep". Well duh! You will need a drink every night
11- Smokers – I smoke, but I find that dudes that smoke take it to an entirely different level. Sounds hypocritical I know, but oh well. People that know I smoke are always shocked.
I can go on and on… smh
Dead at nappy chest hair.
And cosign on the smoking I don't smoke and don't do smokers… I only did like one or two because they were so motha' f'n fionne but they knew no smoking around me, in my house or in my car ( I am allergic) so that would pretty much be all the time… *shrugs*
I hate incorrect use of verbs, it drives me crazy. I didn't point it out (all the time) to the guy I was dating, but I would correct the sentence in my head not intentionaly. And seriously he graduated from college. I don't understand how he passed any english classes. But he was so sexy with his shirt off I had to let it slide 🙂
Fake jewelry or too much jewelry… o___O
The long t-shirts is a hell no! Never liked them and especially when Boondocks spoofed ones that had the back cut out! Epic major fail!!
Clothes that do not fit. Tailored is best. You look sloppy when your clothes are f'n up your frame!
saggin' pants. niggas spelled backwards… need I say more? Yes I should.
You should not be wearing pants more than 2 to 3 inches below your waistline.
Why??
Because you look stupid, shorter than you are, people don't want to see your underwear crack imprint and all. Your pockets should not be on the back of your knees and wearing a belt along your thigh to hold them there is not acceptable. Makes you walk like a duck. You holding them to keep from falling is also ridiculous! Is this your way of giving everyone including your mother and children your ass to kiss?
I cannot stand it!!
Pheeew! Ok getting off my soapbox.
And please the diction, if I cannot understand you then we cannot have a conversation.
Book smart is soo sexy… learn me something I haven't a clue about… you are so in.
A Man who knows women the one who can pick up on things…. that is 2 points for you!
Body hygiene that includes oral as well, please no plaque! Nothing like the smell of a freshly showered man! Yeas!!
As for things like reading, movies, music we must have some kind of common interest or we won't hang out much o__O
Learned something new today!!!
Duppy is a Jamaican Patois word of West African origin meaning ghost or spirit.[1] Much of Caribbean folklore revolves around duppies. Duppies are generally regarded as malevolent spirits.[1] They are said to come out and haunt people at night mostly, and people from the islands claim to have seen them. The 'Rolling Calf',[2] 'Three footed horse' or 'Old Higue'[3] are examples of the more malicious spirits.
Thanks Wiki!!

I can totally agree with this quirk
Wearing Polo Assn
I’m far from a label whore … well … I might have a little label promiscuity in me. Regardless, wearing the “not Ralph Lauren” brand is unforgivable. Why are there a team of horses on your shirt instead of one? Everytime I see a guy or girl in it … I just shake my head in shame.
Same here with ppl wearing Chaps.
CHAPS = Coulda Had A Polo Shirt
i recommend using a fitting that allows you to connect the 2 materials that doesnt require soldering or sweating. ( a threaded fitting for instance)the brass will weaken over time
Hello, this weekend is fastidious for me, because this point in time
i am reading this enormous informative paragraph here at my residence.
There is certainly a lot to find out about this issue.
I love all of the points you made.
