I'm not throwing salt, but see me in a few years when this high wears off, yes you will still love your spouse, but there will be moments where you won't want to see her face - stop frontin" (but right now you are almost sickening - for real, enough already with the dirty drawerz and whatnot - we get it.. really we do.)I have a partner that I love just the same but it was a lot of work (and it aint no DAMN fairytale the way you are going on and on. I think your fairy-tale romance marriage love situation is giving you amnesia about how it can be trying to find the "perfect one and get married".- and stay married. It takes time, patience, its work etc. I also understand you are trying to be "deep" with all of the spiritual journey and lost souls talk, but sometimes its not that, some folks want to date live life and not get tied down with the Drama that marriage bring sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-36952632938406999972009-07-14T20:15:01.241-04:002009-07-14T20:15:01.241-04:00I sure did write crutty!

Are they lost souls or not on a "real" journey simply because they choose to remain single? <br /><br />(can you tell I'm playing devil's advocate here? lol)<br /><br />What about the guy or girl who is a "serial dater" or "serial monogamist?" You know, the ones who date for 3 years at at time and then move on and date someone else for an exteneded period of time? They may seek companionship, but just not for life with one person. Maybe that goes back to what Rameer was saying about having more than one. Can we have more than one soul mate? More than one person God has granted for us?<br /><br />(and did Serena write "crutty?"

Hold on, you may be onto something that...Brooke, <br /> <br />Hold on, you may be onto something that requires further study. There are men and women who date and have no intention whatsoever of actually letting you into their life. There is a piece of them that you can never ever have; no matter what happens. Real talk; those are truly lost souls in my opinion. They have forgotten the most important part of life; its the journey. Sure I can share a couple of "real" words with fellas half drunk; even intimate moments with an enchanting lady such as yourself; but when it comes to letting my vulnerabilities known to you; my weaknesses apparent; fat chance. Both sexes do it and you cannot get to where we are talking about by holding onto this garbage. I personally told you some stuff about my ex and if I held onto that I would be in that same vane. I could not completely love someone. <br /> <br />Life is routed in examples so I propose a rhetorical question to prove my point; if and when you get married; will you have separate accounts or joint? This is once again a blog for another day. Honestly there is only one right answer. What's right and what is easy are two different things. <br /> <br />-DAMDMurraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-66084871720043323972009-07-14T16:33:40.120-04:002009-07-14T16:33:40.120-04:00DMurray!

I learned no matter where you are at if its time then God will present him to you and same for dudes and women.<br /><br />The crutty ones and nice ones all played a role and I'm thankful to say that women like me, Brookey, etc are at least not bitter nor spoiled. Some women are so irrate from past relationships that they stay bitter and wonder why no one wants to talk to them.<br /><br />Same for bitter dudes. The worst.

I dated nice guys back then and I still do. I think you're trying to make it sound like "nice guys" want to settle down. I know plenty of "nice guys" who simply want to date and don't want anything more. I think we have to be careful not to mistake "niceness" with "intentions." Nice guys like to date around too. <br /><br />As a matter of fact, that's what makes it frustrating sometimes, cuz women nowadays want to settle down with a "nice guy" but he doesn't want to settle down - at all. He'll gladly date you, treat you well, take you out, open doors, has good credit, all his teeth, etc. That doesn't mean he wants to settle down or be coupled up. Nice means nice...it doesn't mean marriage material or monogamy. You are a nice guy who just happened to want companionship, but not all "nice guys" do.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-20984662170482236462009-07-14T16:16:02.884-04:002009-07-14T16:16:02.884-04:00Brooke, Rameer hit it on the head; at the end of t...Brooke, Rameer hit it on the head; at the end of the day EVERYONE desires the companionship of the opposite sex. Marriage is the natural vehicle that reflects this outward display. So simply put yes...but as I said, there is a caveat. Yolanda, don't hop on the grey dog going from city to city looking for a man just yet! However, he is out there. Not sure where but he is out there. <br /> <br />For some ladies "the one" has come and gone. So maybe "the two" will show up. True story; in high school and even college I was told I was "too nice." Like I had a disease or something. How can you be too nice? I have seen some of these ladies over time we have talked and quite of few of them say "damn dude, you did good for yourself. I would have never thought you would turn out like this." I did not change; they did! Truth of it is; they were not ready. It sounds cocky but it is true. <br /> <br />I think Mike Jones said it best; "Back then they did'nt want me now I'm hot they all on me!" <br /> <br />Well not anymore; did I mention I love her dirty drawz!<br /> <br />-DAMDMurraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-31575954060429993022009-07-14T16:03:44.565-04:002009-07-14T16:03:44.565-04:00Well, put it this way...Hugh Hefner famously had 3...Well, put it this way...Hugh Hefner famously had 3 girls he was dating for years (well, he's done that a few times in life). These girls eventually led to all of them getting their own E! show, "The Girls Next Door".<br /><br />Late in 2008, after many years of romantic bliss with all of them, they all separated. However, Hugh expressed no remorse over 2 out of the 3 girls - but he was devastated at the loss of HOLLY, the oldest woman and his favorite. She was the "head bunny" of the three. <br /><br />It comes down to this - he enjoyed having three girls, and the sex, fun and adventure that goes along with that. But he LOVED one of them. And that's what I'm saying - as humans, we all want the ability to connect with another, regardless if we're allowed to have other options. We actually ARE wired to find a mate. Even animals grow sad if they lose their mates. <br /><br />We can put whatever we want on it...but at some point, we all want to be loved and to love. Whether a human admits it publicly or not. <br /><br />And yes - you may have to move.Rameernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-11902019637559972022009-07-14T15:50:03.109-04:002009-07-14T15:50:03.109-04:00"Out of ALL my hoes, you my FAAAAAVORITE hoe!..."Out of ALL my hoes, you my FAAAAAVORITE hoe!"

I've met people who don't want to ever settle down. They don't want kids and they don't ever want to be monogamous. Are you saying they haven't tapped into themselves yet?

Women are hardwired to love men and treat them like kings; likewise men are hardwired to love and cherish a woman. The problem is unlocking the key to this concept. Example in the world of so many people there is a man for every woman and a woman for every man. There is also a person that is the absolute worst for you as well. Now here is the bombshell; who said he had to be black if you are a sista? Who said she had to be latina; papi? You may be standing in the way of your own happiness because you cannot see the forest for the trees.

I'm trying to stop laughing a...Dear Brooke-lyn,<br />I'm trying to stop laughing at "I love her dirty drawz" long enough to write my comment! Luv it! Reminds me of growing up in BK - the adults used to say that a lot. Congrats on your residence in newly-wed bliss Dwayne. May your stay be permanent and your partnership be everlasting brother. I love love. And hopefully God will bless myself and us all by granting us the union with the person he created us for. I do enjoy being single. I've always told my girl friends (because I think it's especially important for us), get to know yourself first. You can't have anything to offer your better half if you don't first know you: your likes, dislikes, what you're passionate about, your career path, do you want a family, etc. I don't mind going to the movies solo. At least I don't have to listen to someone chew popcorn (a snack too loud for a theater honestly - who's idea was that?) or have someone ask me 1000 questions during the flick. I've gotten so comfortable or maybe it's that I'm used to being solo, I've dined in restaurants, shopped, taken trips all by myself. I've had 2 relationships in my life (where I've said I love you and we were together for years) and I've learned a great deal during those periods of time. And the love I shared with those men makes crave marriage, stability, family, settled down-dom (a Princess-ism). But being as though neither of those relationships ended with me saying "I do" in something borrowed or something blue, I have to chalk it up to I haven't learned all about myself yet and I'm not ready for "him" in God's eyes. I know He wrote this book of life long before I came into being. I haven't arrived at that chapter just yet. So in the meantime, I'll continue to study this journey called life and devote as much of my time to my family as I can, be a good and attentive auntie, try and get my career path a little more straight than it's current crooked state, try and get at least one of my blog drafts published (I know I promised myself by the end of June - UGH!) and prepare myself for that day when I'm called to <i>that</i> side of the fence. Oh God, is he ready for Princess? Hope he's done his share of preparing for loving me!<br />And that's all I have to say about that. Spread love people!<br />BTW - Loved the romantic waterfall pic .<br />Love, PrincessMs. Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065545152139713192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-17146371739100531652009-07-14T13:36:39.563-04:002009-07-14T13:36:39.563-04:00Re and Brooke, just be ready when "he" c...Re and Brooke, just be ready when "he" comes into your life.

Men here just don't want to settle down until they're 40 and realize they're getting old. They know they have options - GREAT OPTIONS, and they exercise them. They LOVE to date you, but that's about it. They feel they can always do better...and when they go look and don't find better, they come back years later still expecting you to be waiting for them. They want you to chase them. They act like women. For all the posturing they do as being "from the NYC son!" - it's all bitchassness.<br /><br />You go to other cities and the men actually act like gentleman. They don't want to be the old man in the club. And even if women outnumber them 8-1, they only need ONE. Not ALL of them like how they want here. Men in NY work on their careers and date. That's it. They might knock someone up in the process, but marriage just isn't on their minds. <br /><br />And I find the women here have or are adapting. They find that being single is just what you have to be to live here...and they're changing their mindsets as well because of it...and single is better than being with an asshole ANY day.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-57923468175974962922009-07-14T13:23:09.432-04:002009-07-14T13:23:09.432-04:00I'm with Dwayne's opinion completely. and ...I'm with Dwayne's opinion completely. and I think the problem is completely an NYC thing - although women all across the nation can offer similar experiences. But I personally think it's WORSE in NYC for females, and typically suspect a woman is single if she's above 22 and from NYC - or, if she's with someone, she's not thinking they're going to get married. <br /><br />In my situation - I KNOW things are dire where I live for males and females. But I also know EXACTLY where I could probably find a woman worthy of being my wife in less than a year - Washington, DC. True story - I know about 10 dudes who couldn't find a good woman where I live, and within a year of living down there, had found the one they would eventually marry and are still with. <br /><br />Hell there's other areas of the country as well. But I'm where I'm at, and make do with what I got.<br /><br />I have no advice for the women in Meryl's situation in NYC, other than trying new circles, being aggressive, etc. - things they probably already have tried or know. But I will say this - while I don't think there's anything wrong with being single, I would never say I choose that over what my man Dwayne has. Or that I'm proud/happy to be single. I'm okay and at ease with it - it's not a problem, and it doesn't bother me.<br /><br />But give me that forever ish ANYTIME.Rameernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-20477744488467064782009-07-14T13:11:33.607-04:002009-07-14T13:11:33.607-04:00Im sorry, I would totally have to agree.

I know I am and thanks to this and other encouraging stories I know he's out there made for me and I for him :)Serena W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08899725312118622702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-22965240706977850452009-07-14T12:51:02.453-04:002009-07-14T12:51:02.453-04:00LOL!!! Pretty Ricky, I was thinking the same thing...LOL!!! Pretty Ricky, I was thinking the same thing - Gag me with a spoon already!<br /><br />Just jokes :-)<br /><br />Dwayne, first let me congratulate you on your marriage. I think it's great you took another go at it and never gave up on love, cuz most men I know who go thru what you went thru with your divorce are allergic to wives :)<br /><br />Now, you and I had a chat about this offline, and I think you feel you are the rule rather than the exception when it come to men who want what you have. Maybe you and Pretty Ricky belong to some special club...and maybe Dre and E. Payne. But men like you who share that mindset REALLY ARE hard to come by. Maybe you don't think so because you only fraternize with like-minded men...but you don't appear to be the majority. And if you are, you are hidden in plain sight. Maybe it's a geographical thing, but I don't see many of you here in NYC. And just like most men out there don't think there are alot of good women out there, that seems to be all I know. So who knows what it is, I don't have that answer.<br /><br />But my post was not to say that being single is better...it's all about enjoying where you are at the moment and learning to be a better person for yourself so that if you DO meet someone who takes you out of your "singlehood" - you're already a whole, complete person first.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com
