Think Pretty Smart : New Rules

The only thing left now is to determine if the offending party knew how offensive her behavior was. If so, should I say something? I don't ever bother confronting someone about tacky ish unless I believe the conversation would be productive. If they have a history of doing tacky ish and haven't allotted a damn to what other ppl think, my being offended isn't going to matter. But if they're generally a good person and maybe unaware of particular social graces or have a different upbringing that leaves them innocently making errors I'd let them know.

NOPE!! The Health teacher at my school said that is a point of no entry and the muscles aren't made to sustain repeated entry...only expulsion. Once they blow, it's over. Also, according to Twitter news, these ppl continuing to overuse Fleet to clean the area before "activity" are washing away their good bacteria and ending up having impacted bowels and digestive systems. You're welcome! Lol!

I believe that our society is over-stimulated chexually. Although "pron" has a lot to do with it - we receive blatant chexual imagery in almost everything these days. So now, instead of being creative - ppl follow a blueprint for what's segzy or even "normal". This also means that a lot of what used to be considered taboo is mainstream - including OT. I don't consider anyone ghey regardless of the activity they enjoy, unless they are actually engaging (or have engaged) in same sex relations. I do however, label them ghey-curious if they've never engaged but often fantasize in same sex activity. As far as the chick from yesterday wondering if her dude was ghey based upon his desire for OT - it's perfectly possible that he witnessed (and not participated in) OT and it aroused him. So now, he wants to try it with her. But she's glossing over the glaring red flag that he's pressuring her into something that she doesn't want to do. She needs to stop focusing on his attempted booty play and focus on the behavior that causes him to override her comfort level in order to satiate his desires.

Think Pretty Smart : Hey Bro

Tardy to the pardy, but my guard is up more around Hey Bros because of their ability to circumvent punishment more than SupBruhs. I'm with Honest on the stupid teen thing. I tend to watch body language and listen to their convos when they're in large groups regardless of race - but that may be my educator default.

I function well with clarity, too. I often equate randumb flirting with a guy throwing his balls in the air and hoping that someone will catch them. #punintended It doesn't mean that you have to be a serious sourpuss, though. It simply means that you've made your intentions clear. I can respect that. That being said, I am a huge flirt. But flirting (for me) means that I have no romantic interest in the recipient. So when guys flirt w/ me, I treat it as fun - nothing more, nothing less.

Yes, I have loved two people at the same time but I think it's impossible to love both equally simultaneously. Someone is going to lose out every time. I think that Sookie did what was best for her by leaving both alone because neither one of them could give her everything she wanted. In my case, I chose the one that I had the most passion for and lost big time because he wasn't the one that was best for me overall. If I'm ever in that situation again, I think that I'd choose the one that balances all areas instead of letting one area override my decision.

Writing While Black : White Women on a Pedestal

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:40:33 +0000

First time reader and commenter here. While I disagree w/ your KimK vs. Superhead analogy (one has a sextape w/ her boyfriend while the other is a self-proclaimed vixen who "kisses and tells"...repeatedly), I understand. When I was younger, men who deliberately and methodically chose white women or "check others" used to bother me. I admit that I took it as form of personal rejection. Now that I'm older and more self-aware, I'm ambivalent. From what I can tell, those aren't the type of men that I would choose for myself anyway. They are just as much out of my dating pool of potential suitors as I am theirs. There are some level-headed black professional athletes, celebrities and "average Joes" out there that respect and love black women. We just won't see them in the headlines or on reality television shows.
