I probably needed to hear this last Thursday. Ah well.
There’s a huge difference between harassing a woman and trying to start a conversation. Here are some tips: talk to her, not at her. Treat her with respect: be aware of her personal space, ask her how she’s doing or what she’s reading instead of commenting on her body parts, look at her face instead of her chest. If she ignores you, drops eye contact, or walks away, back off. It wasn’t rude of you to approach her, but she’s not being rude if she doesn’t want to keep talking to you, especially if you initiated conversation while she was running an errand, waiting for the bus, or on her computer at a coffee shop.

ONE.
- Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
- TWO.
- Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
- THREE.
- Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
- FOUR.
- When you say, “I love you,” mean it.
- FIVE.
- When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.
I take issue with anything that instructs me NOT to wear high heels.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn’t people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?

Disclaimer: This post is NOT, I repeat NOT for the women who hold their own and don’t look for handouts from a man. The lady who is willing to go to work for hers and not make a living on her back or on her knees. This post is for the following: Golddiggers, professional groupies, celebrity stalkers, chicks with no ambition of their own, and the ones who think what’s between their legs is the key to success.
One of my fellow bloggers posted a great blog about men chasing women they can’t afford. I don’t believe in the theory and that is from personal experience. I consider myself to be a fashionable man, women tell me I’m attractive, and I have never had an issue meeting women, etc, etc, and I even have some of those great episodes in my resume. Needless to say, I wanted to address the flipside of the male/female situation.
Ladies, at times, seem to want a man who has the best credit, biggest house, and endless money, but I pose one question: What are you bringing to the table?
when we were little, my mother always said to me and my brothers there was no such thing as boredom.
i haven’t had my television plugged in since February. i think she was right.
