Standard Operating Procedures

Relationships don’t come with manuals. There are no clear instructions on how to build a relationship. If there were, many of us wouldn’t read them anyway! It amazes me when I hear people rule out a potential over some minor thing that, in their mind, is a deal breaker. Why all the rules? Have they ever really worked for you? If we just went with the flow, what is the worst that could happen?

I am a firm believer in having standards when it comes to dating. I just think that we get too hung up on “standard operating procedures” when we first meet someone. Do you think that your dating standards are realistic? Could it be that some of your standards are ruining your chances with new people?

This is an odd post from you WD? I may be mistaken but don’t you have a list of must haves in order for you to consider dating a dude. Of course most women do require for a dude to at least have a job and car, then there are those that just require a dude that’s breathing and is on good terms with one of his baby momas. Then you have those who require A+ credit, 150K + salary, luxury vehicle, big house, built like Adonis, and to add truly expect you not to have a stable of women?! So WD which are you?

Morning blog fam I was once very rigid in my dating expections and selections and I quickly had to adjust as they were NOT WORKING for me! Also, with age and maturity my focus changed and the quality and character of a man became paramount. If you’re fine on the outside and ugly on the inside, you’re ugly! Period.

I think dating standards are directly correlated with age/experience. My “standards” when I was in my early-mid twenties were very different from what I want now. As I’ve grown and matured, I’ve found that my image of the ideal man for me has also. For instance, I am only interested in GROWN MEN, meaning a man with goals, a career, diverse interests, and who is cultured and educated and family oriented. As embarrassing as it is to admit, when I was younger I wanted a “man” with a job, a nice car and “bad boy” appeal! Luckily I grew out of this immature way of thinking…unfortunately there are many grown women who are still holding on to these flimsy standards.

Good morning beautiful people. AmazonRed is back from a fabulous trip to Paris.

As for the topic, I’ve gone with the flow in relationships for too long. I’m tightening the standards moving forward, not loosening them. I lay out goals, objectives and the game plan to get the desired result in every aspect of my life but love. And I’ve been the most successful in everything else in my life but love. So it’s time to stick with what works!

Morning WD Your standards are what I call filters. I personally don’t like them because I think it’s a lazy person’s way of getting the result they want. On the other hand, I never try to convince someone that they should reconsider their standards when dating me. If I’m not what you’re looking for, then I need to move on to someone who’s looking for excactly what I’m selling. If Dreams isn’t your dream, then it’s time to move on.

It’s a little nippy this morning. Warm cider and hot cocoa for everyone.

C tha 1 lmao. Way to kick the door in early on a monday morning.

The best way to determine if your standards are to high for your station is too look at the fact you don’t have a mate and want one.

When a product doesn’t sell on the open market you must reduce the price until you attract consumers. Just like our economy is going through a price correction so should folks on the dating scene. Use this time to come back to reality on expectations for potential mates. Ties back into the market yourself to the right folks kinda thing.

Welcome back Ared. Glad to have you back. I missed you. Promise to give at least one blogger the blank stare or duhhh today. I need a fix.

Morning Folks!

Back from closing on my home in Houston - no more legal ties to Texas!

I try not to have filters as Dreams said. Other than the standards things like unemployed, smoking, married and just flat out unattractive to me, I try to get to know someone before I count them out.

This weekend I had my first date with an older guy - 7 years older than me. Before going out with him, friends had told me the negatives of going out with older men, but I didn’t let that sway me. We actually had a good time on our date, but our conversation the next day led to that being our first and last date because he confirmed those prior stereotypes. Even with that, I don’t think I’ll use age as a filter for future dates.

Everyone should have standards just as long as they are realistic. For some reason the movie Weird Science always come to mind when I hear mention of lists and rules. Preferences are good. In fact preferences are great. But utter perfection is impractical.

My marido is perfect in my eyes however he is from being perfect. Certain standards cover the necessities of life but our preferences… no scratch that…our far-fetched hopes and dreams of the perfect mate sometimes leaves us without.

Rell That older guys think they know it all and they feel the need to express that to you. Perhaps it was planted but I didn’t have to look for it.

What’s funny is, at the beginning of the date he asked what my preferred age range was and I told him. He was at the top of the range but he took offense. All through the night he kept saying he couldn’t see me with a younger guy and whenever he did something I liked he would say ‘that’s what you get from the older dudes’…when he was killing my nerves with his analysis on how I should live my life, I should have said ‘see I don’t get this crap from the younger dudes’ but I didn’t. I let him perform his analysis and recommendations and then decided I won’t be calling/seeing him again.

lol…that has nothing to do with age..dude was just nervous…plus he does not know the rules of attraction or the concept of dating/seduction….he was doomed to fail when he asked “whats your age range”..does that matter i am out with you right?…thats one..then he tried to frame you with the younger guy thing..older guys should know rule one when dating a younger chick…all age talk is eliminated…never speak on it…there are tricks to the trade but no need to share here…and the whole breakdown…cant call that one….guess he was on a roll at that point…so yeah i see what your saying…but he killed himself when he asked you that question…that shows weakness on so many levels

I think Rell makes an excellent point as far as the pre-embedded generalization and stereotypes that adhere too by way of hearsay. And some other’s experiences. Sometimes we can act to induce such often rare fallacies upon our love interest. I am not saying that is what happened in Tazzee’s case but Rell does make a good point overall.

It’s like when we generalize certain nationalities. Instead of giving them a fighting we already have ingrained opinions going in therefore aiding in the early demise of a relationship. Sorta like thinking something into existence. We tend to treat and react to people based on our pre-existing ideas.

I am definitely guilty of doing so.

Morning Blog Gang!

Welcome back from Paree, Amred. Glad you had a great time and made it back safe.

Everyone should have standards, like Raqi said, as long as they are realistic. Beyond that, if you have a “rule book”, well that’s just silly.

I found that when I “lowered” my standards, that’s when the trouble started with me. They started out very high, but being young and listening to “friends”, I lowered them, and started “going with the flow” & “give it a chance” stuff. I think men sensed this and decided they could get away with anything. I raised them back up, so when someone was trying to sell me goods I did not want, I at least would keep it moving. Been way more successful every since.

I believe we’ve talked about “deal breakers” as a topic before. Other than the obvious ones like married, substance-abuser, still living w/mom, no goals or ambition, etc., my deal breakers are few. The main one is I cannot deal with a cigarette smoker. Lung cancer & other cancers not only from smoking but from 2nd hand smoking has affected my family greatly. I hate the smell on the breath & it gets in the hair & clothes. Also, I’m not into telling grown men what they can & cannot do. If you only smoke when you’re not around me & we decide to hook up, at a point you’ll want to smoke in your home. Who am I to tell you what you can & cannot do in your own home? Yeah, just can’t deal with the smoking.

Truth He’s 45.

Dreams Actually after the analysis/recommendation - he asked when could he see me again. I was actually considering it, but because I didn’t give him a response soon enough he said ‘you know it ain’t all that’ - we ended the conversation with him saying ‘well call me if you want to see me again’ so I’m sure he’ll know that my not calling means I don’t want to see him again. Otherwise I would tell him. I don’t like leaving people hanging.

Rell you may be right, and that is why I would go out with another 45 year old.

Raqi Initially when he started the analysis, I tried to attribute it to the fact that he said he was studying psychology. But then he started each example with ‘in my years I’ve learned…’ or ‘in dealing with women all these years I’ve found…’ But then again he would say things like he’s never met a woman like me…

I’m going to go with Rell’s assessment, he was so taken with my beauty that he was nervous, LOL.

Dang there are so many errors and typos in that last post…but you all get what I am saying.

Rell what you speak of is sorta like my thing for not dating a military veteran or former football players. I have heard such scary stories about their demeanor and tempers I just couldn’t see myself getting into a relationship with either.

My preconceived notions would have had me acting in a way that would have probably forced a potential to respond in a somewhat crazed manner. I would have always been expecting a certain behavior without giving him a chance.

Morning y’all

When it comes to dating I think we should all have some sort of standard. Personally it’s like applying for a job…if you have the right qualifications then that may lead to an interview and subsequent job offer. The same premise applies to dating…if a person doesn’t have the qualifications that I want in a man then I move on b/c I see no point in wasting my time or his. I don’t move hastily b/c I don’t want to make a rash decision but I move on nonetheless.

He was trying too hard. Maybe?

At 45, there’s no need to preface sentences with “in my years.” Ok, to sprinkle “back in the day” here and there in convo would be ok, but unless you’re 60 and up, “in my years” should never be uttered (LOL). Seriously!

Rell I’m so special right off because I’m me! LOL, I actually agree with you…that irritates the heck out of me and sets the relationship up for failure. During our talks before the date he would ask me questions and if he liked my answer he would say things like ‘I can see I’m going to propose to you - you’re going to be my wife’ Throughout the night he would say things like ‘I really like you’ Now I’m not one to be self-deprecating, but I wanted to say ‘Slow Down!!!

My sis-in law said to me one time,* i dont know whats up with ur QUEEN,she cant spend 2 minutes without saying Tee this or Tee that,whats up with u,what have u done to her?* Told her none,i was just being me but for some reason,my being ME made her juices flow that much faster,regardless of my numerous flaws! But then again,Rell has a point too.The guy was over selling too and met a chic with high ego and a working antenae with a high filter trap.Girlz ur age are usually on high alert and on a crash program.The best a guy must do is arrange the date,go out,chill have fun,drink some wine and do less talking about oneself.Instead,talk about sport,politics etc,smething that stimulates the mind.Why sell urself aggresively to a chic thats already beside u?

Good Morning All,

I guess instead of standards I think boundaries..could be same difference. We all have boundaries that we won’t cross in terms of the people we associate, date, hang out with. But I can feel Truth’s position that sometimes those boundaries may have to be adjusted..if nothing else because whateva you are dealing with not is not getting you the desired results.

Melo Nope, I was feeling him. The date was nice and I was looking forward to getting to know him better. But after he started talking that nonsense, I stopped feeling him. What a guy says can quickly change that. I even told him that I don’t like to ask too many questions about a person, let’s just spend time and get to know one another.

Tazzee - I believe it. Often times that’s just part of a dude’s game. A common perception out there is that women over the age of 30 are eager to be married and that after age 35 many will take almost anybody genetically identified as a man.

Some dudes think if they throw out the “I know ur the one”, “ur gonna be my wife” comments right away they’ll land the chick in bed soon. Sadly that will work for a lotta chicks out there.

Tazzee,its not the guy! Its u.U were not feeling him,Period.When u feel a guy,whatever he says is good in ur eyes and ears

Melo thats where you are wrong…women love communication….the problem is most folks dont communicate with a purpose..you have to have a direction when speaking with women..you have to learn her language…and sometimes we as men talk ourselves out of a potential lay with just words….again he could have done so much more than what he did

@raqi…you are right about that…and thats what most men do until they learn otherwise…i am guilty of that for a number of years but NO MORE!!

Tazzee, Kimmie, ARed I don’t know the context of your conversations regarding being wifed up. But I know I’ve been flirting back and forth with a woman before and she mentions she likes the same sports team as I do. I might have responded with something like, “awwwww shoot, might have to take you off the market for that one.” Laughter follows. I don’t think anyone has ever taken it to mean more than, “that was a cool a* statement. let’s keep talking.” If a chick responded by saying, “so you think I’m wife material based only on my inclination toward sports?”, then I’d think she was taking herself WAY too seriously. I’d probably give her ARed’s famous blank stare, like “uhhh wtf is wrong with her???”

The fact that he had a box created for him before date 1 put him at an immediate disadvantage.

Not really..if she agreed to spend some of her TIME then he had a chance like any other simp out here…problem is he never established himself as a mate…for her to go and get advice from her girls shows that his pre-game was weak so she needed a push to even go out…come on if he was doing it pre-game the girls prolly would have got the news post date about this great guy…you have to establish earlier on your dominace…women are attracted to dominent men..that was his downfall

@babydoll

But I think it’s very sweet for a guy to make that declaration so soon after meeting. Could be fate.

Amred - That’s a sweet way to look at it and I have actually heard a lot of cases like the ones you site in your family. A lot of the more recent cases I hear of a guy THINKS he might have met The One after a conversation or 2, but keeps it to himself until after he’s actually proposed, so as not to scare her away.

There is so much game out there now, and you know those who are not sincere, which most are not. Like Raqi said, ask them a few weeks later, especially after they might have done the deed, and you’ll probably get a blank face!

Rell re 11.32.you have to learn her language this was a 1st date so how does he learn to know her if hes doing a lot of talking?He talks himself into disqualification.He shld have listened or talked about other stuff,that way and thru the interaction,u get to know how she is wired ie,sporty- likes football,like Tazzee,celebral,worldly,finance oriented,nurturing etc????.But when u start off talking about what u like,the women u been with etc,u proly talking about smebody next to u! Where do u go from there if she tells u that shes done those things u mention.Cause u dont know her yet.Its a 1st date.Even when u just angling for booty.Let her tell u that.When u hear her talking about the insides of this hotel and that one and motel 6 and hw she likes the beds in this hotel better,then u program ur date schedule and language appropriately!!!!! Dont talk urself into disqualification.

Dreams I agree, after the first time. But I heard that at least 4 times. I would always laugh it off. But later in the night it was the ‘I really like you’ - ‘I really dig you’ - ‘I think we’d be good together’ comments. To those I would playfully reply ‘really? what is it that you really like about me?’

We all have our preconceived notions and “requirements” for a mate but a dude’s mouthpiece can talk him in good graces with a chick he may not have stood much a chance with and can talk his way out with a chick that he was hitting on all points with on his stature before he opened his mouth.

this was a 1st date so how does he learn to know her if hes doing a lot of talking?

lol….i bet this was a dinner date….if so again misstep….but back to your question…he learns by engaging her more before he starts in with his history or how she is living her life…i am sure she did not ask for his advice if i know tazz right….plus he could have invited her somewhere we is comfortable(not his house)…he could have set the date up in a series of mini dates to keep the date on doing rather than just a dayum interview…you can skin this cat so many ways..but he messed up from jump…she should have told her girls how nervous or great she feels about going on this date with this older guy - ya know the he is different speech

not ok i am going on a date with this 45 year old and i am giving him the side eye…what you got for me girl…..

kimmie from my experiences I found that the men that were just living that moment tended to speak much. Much lies, much hogwash, much empty promises. But those that were looking for something more and lasting tended to not spew as much infertile chatter but rather took the time to get to know me as a person.

While most women like to be showered by the compliments and affections of a suitor, being snowballed with bs just ain’t pretty.

Sometimes they’re just old. LMAO Now I’m like Dreams in that I’ll joke with a chick and actually have an ongoing joke with an old friend about her being my future ex wife but its just that.

The Geography Of A Woman…

Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful.

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe, well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece, gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all conquering past.

Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel, has been through war and doesn’t make the same mistakes twice, takes care of business.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada, self-preserving but open to meeting new people.

After 70, she becomes Tibet, wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past nd the wisdom of the ages, only those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge visit there.

Between 1 and 90, a man is like Iran, ruled by nuts.

my standards when it comes to selecting men have changed dramastically. this is the reason for me still being single and not rushing into a commitment right away. for example, a man can’t have less than me. he must be successful and happy in life.

another example, my friend moved in a man who has six kids by two diff women. i think three of the kids lived with them. wth was she thinkin’? and he’s a barber on top of that collecting assistance. i dont think so. that live in situation lasted, i believe, three months.

A brand new store has just opened in New York City that sells Husbands.

When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:-

“You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely good looking.

“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help with Housework.

“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”

Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have A Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store .

To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opens a New Wives store just across the street.

The 1st floor has wives that love sex.

The 2nd through 6th floors have never been visited.

It first boils down to attraction. The more attracted you are the more likely you are to over look minor things. What attracts one man may not attract another, but may deter him.

Beauty I hear you, but you can’t let one or many of one ruin your way of dating, brush your shoulders off. Sometimes it can be a crap shoot, but you have to stay positive and be open to new things, places, or a different type of man…it is difficult to find a man that meets all of a chicks criteria and vice versa with men, its all about tolerance.

Like I said standards are a given with me, but rules nah..life is too short and there are way too many men out here for me to quit. God was good when he created man. I believe that honeslty, i come across the duds and they may think the same of me..but on to the next fugg it life is too short….

Bon Jour ARED! Allait comment votre visite a Paris?

on topic Well I do have dealbreakers. I feel we should all have them because without them you are wasting your time on something that was doomed from the start. I know if I am not physically attracted to a guy it is going no further than a friend. If that makes me shallow…oh the hell well! I will not settle. I tired gicing a short guy a chance…I was never attracted to him and was trying to force myself. Needless to say it did not last over a month and of course no sex came to play because it was too soon and I was not feeling him that way. I will not deal with a guy with no car. I am not a taxi nor will I be driving all over ATL to see you. I will not deal with a broke man. He does not have to take care of me because I can do that…but he needs to be able to take care of himself…and be able to go out and do things with me. If he has baby mama drama I am out! Hence the reason I do not date guys with kids. I feel if I do not have any I have that right to feel that way. Call me mean…but I do not want a just add water family should we decide to marry. That means money would be coming from our household to another one. And the fact that another woman outside of his family will be in our lives. No thanks! If I find out a guy is a liar or has a track record of being a h0 and a cheater I am out! He also has to be intelligent and open minded. Most of all he has to understand I am NOT the type of woman to be controlled. I am his equal not his child. I will not try to control him and he must give me the same respect as he’d want.

Really there is no such thing as the perfect man or woman. The better we like and respect one another the better we treat them. No 2 people are the same so even if 2 women date the same guy they will have different impression of him b/c more then likely he was more attracted to one and respected one a little bit more. Every relationship is different. Most importantly let’s not focus to much on hearsay and past relationships, just b/c he dogged her does not mean he will do the same to you. He may treat you like a queen.

Tazzee likes to the smell of old man and loud music or she went on a date with abc. I could be wrong!

The reason men keep using the wife line is because it works.

On Topic: This goes back to knowing your market. Pretty fine in your 20’s market is different than pretty fine in your 30’s and that’s different that pretty fine in your 40’s and so on and so on. The problem is that you are in your 30’s using marketing material that 10 years old.

I agree with Le Siren. My tastes have changed with age/experience. I want someone I am physically and mental attracted to, but at this point I would give someone with a pulse a chance! lol Seriously, I have to have standards. They can’t smoke, need their own teeth, and for the Lord’s sake need to not live in their parents basement(unless they are the ones supporting their parents). They should hold a job and do so regularly. They should be kind inside and out. Is it to much to ask for a little ambition in life? My list could go on a bit more, but I don’t think my standards are too high. Don’t I deserve someone worthy of me???

Life is what you make of it. I think women are lovely and treat them so.

If you are a guy with a car and job… can write in complete sentences and maybe might just have a sense of humor… you are in the top 97 percentile of “datable guys”.

If you are unmarried… you are now in the top 98 percentile.

If you are 46 and Republican, you get to date women 50-65 if you’re lucky.

If you are Democrat, you get to date women 35-60, and you get to smile every day and have people smile back at you.

It is a great time to be a Democrat!

I won’t say which I am, but I seem to be smiling when rough times call for more backrubs and cuddling and spreading a general positive attitude of “we are going to get though this and it’s going to all be OK”.

Sex and intimacy reduce stress. These are stressful times. Live a little, love a little, take chances and give the awkward a break every now and again.

Just because you went on a date and he made your toes wiggle, doesn’t mean that you have to let him move in next week.

Harold and Maude… a movie from the early 70’s about a boy of 18, obsessed with death falling in love with a 79 year old woman is just what the doctor ordered. It is beautiful, relevant to these times we are in, and the musical score is Cat Stevens. You will laugh until you cry… then you will cry because you realize what love, life and living is all about.

Maude tells Harold at one point, “Don’t go though life always being so polite and proper, you miss too much. When I get to the great locker room in the sky, I will have lots to talk about (Maude)”

I assume you can go to onlinevideoguide . com and search for “Harold and Maude” and watch it for free. They met at funerals. He has an obsession with death and creating death scenes… she has an obsession with life and stealing cars to remind people of how temporary material things in life can be… and yes, they have sex.

Beautiful movie! Live, love and laugh out loud.

6.When a hood boy approaches u,the 1st thing outa their mouth is hw much?

7.Ur hairstyle is now exclusively wig

8.Every time u see a sexxy 30 smething lady,u frown and curse at dem!

9.U bring some change tennis shoes to Bigelow’s coz 2 dances whilst on high heels makes ur feet hurt.

    sorry love i dont do dinner first i will do other things besides dinner…its not my job to feed you…lol

    Rell, it’s all good. Do what workd for you. I’ve always liked going to dinner and since a guy has to eat too, he likes going to dinner as well.

    And that’s the problem with men today…if you’re really trying to date to marry, it is your job to be the breadwinner and provide for your family. So yeah, it is your “job” to feed me. It’s all go to start somewhere.

    And no, I don’t wear the pants in my interactions with dudes. Food is a basic necessity and I don’t feel bad about wanting to go out to EAT.

    But you can sell that story to the low standard having chicks you obviously deal with. Godspeed. lol
