I’m one of those people that believes when it comes to the opposite sex and dating, you usually get what you deserve. It’s not to say that if your man cheats on you that you deserved it, but generally speaking, I think that somewhere along the line, you’ve been given some kind of hint as to what kind of person you’re dealing with.
People just don’t ask the right questions. We get so caught up in wanting somebody, that we forget that we’d hate it if we ended up dating an axe-murdering serial killer who committed all of his crimes while wearing a pink thong and yelling out “Zorro”. Thing is, you might know that if you asked about Zorro, haphazardly. But who does that?
Panama, that’s who. You see, I’ve learned over the years to ask certain questions to make sure that I’m not dealing with crazy broads (even though I generally skew towards crazy skee-os. Woe is me.)
Anyway, I’m going to give you some questions that I like to ask and some answers that let you know that you should NEVER share teeth action with these folks.
Panama: Damn, girl, you shole is fine. What’s your email address??
Her: Oh, it’s lickemhighlickemlow69696969@roundandbrown.com.
I’m all about the professional email. There’s no way in Sam Hill I’d ever date a chick who gave me an email that demonstrated her pr0nstar aspirations. And hell, if she’s coming at me (no pun intended) like that on the first day, you can imagine what she’s got cooked up for the future.
Kids. That’s what.
Panama: Do you like/know your daddy?
Her: My daddy is a sorry sack of a man/I don’t know the bastard.
Sorry, but its just REALLY hard for me to date a woman who doesn’t like her daddy at all, let alone, doesn’t know him. I don’t do daddy issues.
T-shirt?
T-shirt.
Panama: What’s something interesting about you?
Her: I used to juggle midget balls to make extra money in college.
For real, who juggles?
Panama: What’s your favorite meal?
Her: Fried bologna sandwiches with a tall glass of Kool-Aid.
Look, I love Kool-Aid as much as the next man, but if your favorite meal includes fried bologna sandwiches, I’m going to believe that nobody was able to take the hood out of you and you and your project compadres just might get me shot. You also probably thing TGIFridays is fine dining.
Panama: What’s your best feature?
Her: The tattoo I have of my ex-boyfriend’s family tree I have on my back. I know it wasn’t smart to have him tattood on me, but it’s a really good picture of a tree.
If you’re able to find the silver lining in such f*ckery, your optimism level is beyond even what I consider healthy levels. You clearly make bad decisions and might get me dead.
Panama: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Her: Ya know, I just hope to be alive.
Aight, Pac. I might not even finish that date. I might just slide to the bathroom and jump out the window on some Ron Browz stuff. I’m the Black man….I’m supposed to be worried about being alive.
Panama: Do you believe in magic?
Her: Oh hell yeah, he was a great basketball player for the Chicago Bulls.
You see, you demonstrated that not only do you know jack sh*t about sports, you’ll answer a question you clearly don’t know the answer to. You just might testify against me in court OR try to kill my dog, Twinkle Toes B*tch Slapper, or TTBS for short.
Panama: Who’s your favorite musical artist?
Her: OJ Da Juiceman!
You should just go die. Immediately.
Panama: Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?
Her: Dancing is gay.
What?
Panama: You seem to be coughing a lot, are you okay?
Her: I’m just getting over the avian swine flu. I’m good though.
*dead* And I’m out. Damn Mexicans (no NAFTA).

So, good samaritans of VSB.com, what are the vital answers to questions that you’d want to know before entertaining a further courtship with somebody? And what would be the wrong answer that would make you want to stab their eyelids with toothpicks made of chrysanthemums?

@Monk, my theory, 99% of the people who aspire to make it in the entertainment industry don’t. So when someone…especially someone who is over 25 says they aspire to be a rapper or something of the sort people (by people I mean me) tend not to take them seriously. (They might get a pass if they’ve been diligently grinding at it for years and have real talent and a real back up plan but that’s extremely rare). I for one wouldn’t bet my future on some guy who has all his eggs in the becoming the next Jay – Z basket.

This post was right on time, so yesterday i went on a lunch date that went a little something like this….
In the car on the way to lunch, phone rings:
Him: (looks at phone) It’s my mom, hold on
Me: Ok
Him: Hello
Mom: (because she was that loud) When are you coming home?
Me: (thinking in my head) I know this Ninja does not live with his mom
Him: I don’t live with my mom, she’s just asking when im coming to visit.
Me: (breathes a sigh of relief, then ask) Where do you live
Him: At random apt complex
Me: I thought they only have two bedrooms at that complex, you have a roommate
Him: Not exactly
Me: Im sorry, expound
Him: I live with a friend, but shes moving
Me: She, are you guys dating?
Him: Not anymore
I quickly text my homegirl to call with an emergency that lunch date was too over. This ninja had the nerve to try to take me out while he’s shacking up.
Some other questions that i ask
Do you hate pets?
Him: Yes i have 8 pits
yeah im good on him, this ninja house must smell like a kennel or he’s on some Mike Vick type stuff, i may be forced to testify against him.
Do you own any weapons?
If he owns more than 2 handguns, a shot gun in addition to a machete and samurai swords this would be a good indication that this fool will kill you.

The animosity in the response denotes daddy issues. Even if you despise/don’t know your pops, there’s always a tactful way to answer that question.
If your dad is an @sshole you can say: My father and I have extremely different personalities so we have a tough time communicating.
or
If you never knew him b/c he walkewd out say: Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to get to know my father.
Answers like that show that you’re sane. And they also show that while your father has issues, you don’t.

@The Champ, People can find attractive what they find attractive, but “I don’t date women w/ daddy issues,” is not a preference, it’ s a diagnosis. How do you know if a woman has daddy issues? What define’s daddy issues? And how is this person who’s doling out this label qualified to label anything? If you say you like tall men, that is a preference, or long hair – something like that. But daddy issues? That’s a judgement, not a characteristic.

exactly @ pgh. by good, I meant people that may have been perfect for you. Not good on paper
If you don’t like tall guys, I don’t care how compatible the two of you are. You’re not going to be physically attracted to his tall ass.
On the other hand, between “Daddy issues” vetoes being vague, presumptuous and having little to no bearing on your relationship, you wind up eliminating a lot of people you would’ve been totally attracted to.
It’s like the difference between saying I won’t date a man whose parents aren’t married instead of just saying I want a man who values marriage. One of these things just doesn’t address a person’s character and seems like an unwise way to date.
Just say you don’t like promiscuous, man-hating, car thieves. That would be a better strategy numbers-wise.

I think it all depends on where you live. When I lived in Podunk-ville, a trip to the Olive Garden was a treat. But living in a major city with awesome restuarants makes it so that we don’t ever have to eat at a chain. Also, if you knew me, you’d know how much I love food. Everyone at my job knows if they have a questions about a restaurant to come to me.
So maybe that is why it’s more important to me than to others.

While my mind and the rest of my body have a healthy sense of adventure, my stomach does not. My stomach is apparently closed minded and racist and I’m okay with that.

Here’s a few:
Monk: So did you catch last night’s episode of “For The Love Of Ray J”/”Flavor of Love” (or any other celebreality show on VH1)?
Her: Who? What’s that?
It’s ok to say that those shows does nothing for you, but if you don’t even know what these shows are, you may be a little too pretentious for my taste.
Monk: “What means the world to you?”
Her: “My money, my doe, my hair, my nails.”
*bewildered look*
Monk: (again) “What means the world to you?”
Her: “Diamond rings, shiny things…”

The Godfather is not the end all be all to whether a guy is worth anything, and it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with liking sports, how many Italian/mob gangsta movies do you have to like to be considered cool, all of them or just scarface and godfather, both of which while i can see there historical appeal are long and boring for the most part

@Gem of the Ocean,
“him: can i have a good night kiss?
(if you have to ask your breath probably smells like booty lint)”
that just made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. gross!!!!
him: what are you in school for?
me: neuroscience
him: what’s that?
(strike 1)
me: study of the brain (spinal cord and nerves)
him: oh so you like can work with crazy ppl?
(strike 2 AND 3 — your knowledge is limited and i just can’t with you)
I kid you not, my eyes got big because I was in such disbelief. Dumb dumb dummy!!! Ugggghhhhh!!!

Me: Well I was born here, but I grew up in the Netherlands
Dude: Where is that?
Me: It is in Europe, Many people call the country Holland
Dude: Yeah! I know where that is! Have you ever gone to amature night @ The Apollo?

My main beef is with ONE question because it’s been asked too many times and it has been asked one too many RIGHT after he says hello:
“So, you got any kids?”.
No, MOFO, do YOU? I mean, I get you wanna know as to avoid baby daddy drama, but this question should NOT be right up there with (or worse yet, BEFORE) “How you doin’?”.

@Voiceofreason,
He’s a political theorist, author, post-modernist (don’t call him that to his face) thinker. He taught linguistics too (I think he may be emeritus now). He’s been accused of being an anarchist but I haven’t come across anything suggesting that. (He says powerful people have the onus of justifying/legitimizing their positions. I don’t recall anything about dismantling the power sturcture tho…)
I think a lot of people don’t hear about him cuz his books have been banned in a lot of places. Also, it’s pretty dense and abstract stuff. It can be hard to understand if you don’t have a professor or adjunct book synthesizing.
Lots of people reference him though, so even if you haven’t studied him…you probably HAVE studied him.

I only asked the question in the first place because I never dated guys with kids. If I was even considering changing my personal rule…you just got benched.

I totally agree with this post. I 100% believe, that the tell tale signs of a genuine F*%K -up are definitly displayed in the beginning of a relationship. We ignore these signs for a multitude of reasons. We may wanna do the “humpty-dance”, it may be because they are financially competant, and we’re thankfull the sweet baby Jesus didn’t send you another broke azz… They may be entertaining…. BUT POINT BEING……. we still ignore these signs.. Its not so much ignoring the signs that is the problem, It’s acting surprized when you realize the person you are dealing with is not someone……well…….. that you want to deal with. LOL!!! I have LIVED this moment more than once… I’m sure every single person in here has lived this moment! Sheesh! I cant wait to find Mr. Right! But it really applys to all relationships, not just romantic ones!!!
