To Circumcise, or Not. That Is The Question.

So the verdict is in. It’s unanimous…

We like the CUT version. Men, women, period.

This past weekend, I was in deep conversation with a few of my new urbanized friends: Nick from Laguna Beach, Chili V from FiDi, and in Davey D from La Mission. Such a motley crew they were. And yes, the conversation was real. It was raw. It was hilarious. We somehow started about male circumcision, and all of the controversy I stirred up with my recent post.

My two cents were these: “Aren’t there hygiene issues associated with not being circumcised?

Chili V from FiDi knew it best: “Have you ever smelled an uncut penis? Trust me, if it don’t smell good, it won’t taste good!

EWWWWWW!!!!

Nick’s response: “DUDE! That’s disgusting. No foreskin, no five-skin, no six-skin! NO NO NO!” Nick from Laguna even recited a true story of a woman leaving a guy because she couldn’t get over the turtleneck the dude was sportin’.

Davey D’s was perplexed. “I can’t imagine a body odor coming from a guy’s johnson. That’s just weird.”

Listen, I’m no expert. Nor do I want to be. But the votes are in and sorry guys! We like the cut version better!

But WAIT WAIT WAIT! Women weren’t off the hook either. Speaking of uncut, La Mission’s Davey D led us into the conversation about a woman’s natural born-ness.

We’re talking about the vajay-a-jay… SHAVE IT!

There’s nothing more disgusting than seeing a woman’s you know what that’s not taken care of. Ladies, you gotta make the cut!

In Davey D’s words: “The natural look on a woman just isn’t good”.

We couldn’t agree more.

There’s a lot more from this conversation so stay tuned…

Ladies, Is He Asking You About Money???

I have to get back to the point I made in the previous post.

Ladies, NEVER EVER EVER let a man pry into your financial situation.

Why?

First off, your financial situation is none of a man’s business unless you’re in a serious long-term relationship.

Second, if he’s asking, that means he probably wants some of it.

Case in point…

I’ve dated a lot of guys who made less money than me. Not that I ever asked, but their professions usually dictated their income bracket. And those were the EXACT same guys who attempted to pry into my financial life.

For the most part, the guy would try to “beat around the bush” and allude to my lifestyle, and press on how nice my car and apartment were. This has happened with (among others):

1. A guy on a first date.

2. A guy I had been dating for some time.

3. An ex boyfriend.

The guy on the first date had the nerve to say “Oh, you’re doing well for yourself. Girls like you who make a lot of money always act the same way.” WTF? Girls like me? I never told him my income or even indicated a range. But that guy was a bum and felt like a bum in front of me. So that’s why he chose to put me up on this pedestal and make me feel like a “high maintenance” kind of girl.

The second guy did not have a profession. He had a regular job at a store that I won’t mention. But he would always say things to me like “Oh, you should just go ahead and buy this or that…You know you can afford it!” I always thought of saying “Well, if you were a man and wanted me to have these things, then why don’t you buy them for me?” This guy was totally insecure.

The third guy was just cheap. He was actually a professional, but he had the nerve to straight up ask, “How much money do you make”. And he continued to ask that same question from the time I met him to the time our relationship ended. I always told him, “I don’t divulge my financial situation unless I’m getting married.” Come to find out, he was always just cheap and DEFINITELY wanted to take advantage of my money.

LADIES: If he does this, it’s a sign of insecurity. It is very likely that he’s also trying to get into your pockets.

I know what you’re thinking and YES, it’s true…I need to start picking new guys ;)

Want a Good Man? Then Don’t….

I’m a good catch :) Lots of us are.

But I’ve seen and done some things that would never get me a good man!

Ladies, if you want a decent guy, you gotta be a decent girl.

Here are five things NOT to do….

1. Don’t get drunk in front of a guy.

Pretty self explanatory, right? But why do so many girls get sloppy-wasted in front of a guy? If you’re on a date and drinks are involved, pace yourself!!! One, or two drinks MAX. And if he’s gonna buy you drinks, then he better buy you food too.

See my post: When It’s time to Go Home, You Got to Get the F*** Out

Nuff Said!

2. Don’t offer to pay.

I’m sorry, but why do girls offer to pay on the first or even second date? I would never even offer, because what if a guy takes you up on that offer? It would be a super red flag if he did. But who cares? Don’t even go there!

It’s not a woman’s place to pay for dinner or drinks. If you offer and he says “yes”, it’s your fault!

3. Don’t accept a date invitation by text!

OK, when a guy texts “hi, hello…”, that’s fine. But if he asks you out via text-message, DO NOT ACCEPT! Yes, times are-a-changin’, but this one is a no-brainer. I’ve had a handful of guys try to ask me out on a date via text, and I can’t help but think to myself, “Damn, is he too lazy to call me to make plans?”

When a girl accepts a text-message invitation, I think it sends a message to a guy that it’s ok to be lazy.

That’s just my humble opinion

4. Don’t talk about money.

I won’t ever let a guy take me into a conversation about money. Trust me, so many guys have tried to lead me into that subject, but I back out without hesitation. WHY? Because how much money a woman makes is NONE of a guy’s business.

I’ll write more on this subject later, but for now, just know that if a guy is prying into your financial life, it’s a TOTAL red flag.

Letting him into your financial situation is like givin up the “goods” too soon, if you know what I mean.

5. Don’t act like a hoe.

How many of us have made this mistake? I won’t say if I have or not, ha ha! Acting like a hoe entails MANY things.

What’s on the list? Givin it up on the first date, booty calls, being too easy in general.

If you have self respect, then demand the same from the guy!
