Thursday Amusement: If You Don’t Know Me By Now.

by Panama Jackson on October 9, 2008 · 780 comments

in lists

We’re doing Thursday Amusement because Friday Fun is going to be insane tomorrow.  Kno’ dat.  I’ve been sitting on this idea for a good two weeks now.  The people will speak tomorrow!

There’s no reason for you to know this about me but I’m a huge University of Michigan fan. I remember getting shots at the Uof M hospital and they used to give me Snoopy band-aids afterwards.  I always wanted to go there for school and seriously contemplated going their for undergrad and later on down the line grad school.  I never made it to Michigan (not that I have any regrets, I am a very smart brotha after all, my alma mater will whip your alma mater’s a** 8 days a week, pal) but that doesn’t change the fact that…

…I could NEVER date a woman who went to or loved The Ohio State University.  What kind of pretentious f*ck school actually calls itself “The” and capitalizes the sh*t?

I mean seriously.

I know its kind of stupid, but it is what it is.  That rivalry is well recognized in the sporting world by all parties involved and basically f*ck Ohio State.

(Just to prove how insane my allegiance is to UofM, I dated a chick from Howard once, and they’re like Morehouse’s b*tch rival or something…except they’re not because they’re, ya know, Howard and we’re like, Morehouse.  Howard’s still cool though; they got a real bangin’ clock tower and everything!)

I have a cousin who goes to Michigan State right now and I’m conflicted about her decisions and the possible choices she may make in life, by the way.  I’ve expressed this concern to her.

Anywho, that got me to thinking about some quirky deal breakers.  I remember when we had our little tete-a-tete about dealbreakers, everybody listed things that they just couldn’t deal with, but really, those were quite sensical.  Somehow, “sensical” isn’t showing up as a real word, despite “nonsensical” being a word.  I’m truly perplexed by this.

Here is a list of other things that I know off top that are slightly-left-of-center as dealbreakers:

-    If a chick told me Halle Berry wasn’t pretty, I’d have to let her go.  Why?  Because she’s clearly blind and my vision’s already bad enough.  We’d f*ck around and make a baby that’d need LASIK before it was actually birthed.  Dump.Ed.
-    If a chick didn’t like Hurly Burly Coming To America, well, Loc’em And Smoke’em.  As perfect as this movie is, any woman who didn’t like this movie clearly hates being Black.  And I can’t date clear women.  For one, I’d have to throw water on her just to see her on some Hollow Man ish.  And that just seems like too much work to do on the regular.  Plus, she’d mess up my couch.  It may be IKEA, but it wasn’t cheap.  AND I put it together myself.
-    I SERIOUSLY wouldn’t even consider dating a chick who threw a piss fit about going to McDonalds TGIFridays.  I love that place.  I’m not even sure why but I do.  It’s fine American dining at a reasonable price.  Plus it has the word Friday in its title and who doesn’t love Fridays?  I ask you, who?
-    No love for Donny Hathaway?  Well you might as well one hug yourself darlin’, because upon hearing that, you’re outta there like the Chicago Cubs.

These are definitely quirky deal breakers for me.  They may seem petty to some degree, however, I just can’t comprehend some things in life.  Forget politics, if you are on some Ohio State sh*t, you got to go.

So toss your dealbreakers people, we’ve been there and done that.  What are those things pacifically specific to you that may not make sense to anybody else that would cause you to have to chuck the knucklehead, even if you seen him yesterday and he was cool?  (Name that Artist/song/album?)

And be honest; if you couldn’t date a man who wore speedos socks or a woman who only wore chaps granny panties, its okay, we won’t judge.

(Actually I will promise I won’t.)

-VSB P aka TANGLE JIG P aka THE ARSONIST aka MR. MACHOSANCHIL

PS Beyonce’s new single “If I Were A Boy” (tagged) is that hot fiyah – Dylan style!  I love that doggone song.  It’s great.  I don’t like “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” as much, but hey, to each his own. And coincidentally, Christina Milian’s new song “Us Against The World” is that dopeness too.  No, for real!  I love pop music and pop music never had it so good.  “Together Forever” anyone?  You should check these songs out if you get the opportunity!  Eff it, I’m including the download links.  Don’t say I never gave you anything.

fairy-tale = some guy will come by, sweep you off your feet, things will be great, happy ever after. (note, almost no s3x is involved).

romance novel = beautiful successful independent woman is somehow still single, runs into a great handsome guy (me), has mindblowing s3x, they argue over guy’s ex, have mindblowing s3x then split up, she finds out it was all a mistake, have mindblowing s3x then get back together, someone tries to destroy man’s business/life, they’re escaping on a place, ensure nobody else will ever join the mile-high club, defeat the hater while staying within the limits of the law, finish it off with a bit of mindblowing s3x and happily ever after.

I think you can figure out the part I like. . .

btw, you wouldn’t happen to be a beautiful, independent, smart, successful woman would you?

Tennessee is one of the best basketball legacies, dynasties, and overall awesomest EVER. They are ridiculously dominant.

Candace Parker is a beast (although I want to pull her aside and tell her that her love of prostyl gel and 2 inch “baby hair” is a bit ridiculous). And yes, Pat Summitt would scare me if I was stuck alone in an elevator with her. I may get off a floor or two earlier than I had initially planned to.

35 J.R. Bernard October 9, 2008 at 11:57 am

Well besides the fact she wasn’t truthful enough to have admitted that the Rutgers team got screwed when they played Tennessee in sp08 (the ‘clock issue’), she tried to snitch on UConn for some silly BS out of spite. Wasn’t even enough of a woman to explain why she ended the UConn-Tennessee series.

And most of her dominance was when competition was about as high as what the Trinity College baseball team faced this past yr (Division III). She still is a great coach, but her win totals and championship numbers are a bit inflated because of this fact.

you know my general beef with folks determining that they can’t date somebody with bad taste in music? it’s so subjective. like what if you think good music is Britney Spears and Soulja Boy? and you don’t want to hear none of that preachy Marvin Gaye ish. i know somebody like this who has determined that it ain’t good if they dont hear it on the radio.

or she’d tell me it wasn’t a hot song if she’s never heard it.

@IH–I thought I was the only one who ever considered this a deal breaker. And have since I was 14. I hate for guys to tell me how much they love music but only listen to Rap and occasionally R&B.

Aside from faux music lovers my dealer breakers include: Redskins fans (my pickins are slim out here in the DMV), those that don’t respect my Super Bowl Champ Giants, Red Sox fans, people that hate Duke for no damn reason at all, non readers (read a book m*fu**er!) and last but not least, dudes who own fly ass cars but live in an apartment or their mom’s basement.

I find that folks born and raised on the northside – and this is only black folk, white northsiders have no issue heading south! – would say crap like “there is nothing on the southside” or “the southside is dangerous” (yeah…like chicks don’t go missing from Lakeview or get raped in Lincoln Park on the regular?) when they’ve only passed through it.

Folks from the south side, even if they’ve moved north,who’ve spent time on either the low end or in the 100s, know what spots to avoid. lol. AND they know where to look to find the best 4 a.m. live jazz bar in the city, the best Senagalese restaurant, best carribean food, etc.

I think my big issue is that most of the city’s black folk live south and if you are black and can’t enjoy being in the presence of black folk for a few hours- in all our glory or in all our triflingness – we can’t hang.

Few deal breakers:

-Somebody who has never travelled… like get the hell out of your zip code once in a while por favor… I’ll even settle for going to Mardi Gras. But never left Houston (true story!)? I’m liable to walk out on you on the date.

- Guys who cannot appreciate(or did not even see, gasp!!) X-Men. Not that it’s my favorite movie or anything, but it tells A LOT about the mindset of said person. I was once told by a very otherwise lovable gentleman that he “prefers stuff that happens here on earth”… I was sad for like 2 hours: he was such a good prospect!

- I have a tendency to be very condescending to jocks/ex-student athletes (no offense to you The Champ *rolls eyes*)… but I often (sometimes mistakenly) equate jock-titude with a slight side towards dumbness. And I don’t do dumbness real well.

-Please be able to cite at least ONE favorite classic literary book and tell me why. I don’t care if it’s the only book you read in your entire life but please oh please have one.

- And do not be a RED DEVILS FAN!!!!!!!!! I BLEED BLUE and I AM CHELSEA FOR LIFE (well ex-gunner, but you get the drift)… I positively hate Man U. All the Man U fans are obnoxious and loud for no good reason! And the team sucks! And Chelsea rocks!

We are NOT pretentious. We just note our grandeur and expect others to note it also. However, since that state up north is not capable of producing such opulence, maybe one day we will let you bask in ours.

3. picky eaters.
3a. closet chitlin connoisseurs. its ok to say you have them at christmas dam#n.

4. Men who use the word “bloated” in a sentence-following the phrase “I am”. YUCK!

5. Men who claim they love Donny Hatahway, but can only come up with “This Christmas” in his repertoire. The man has a great big ole catalog of songs. You’re not a fan if “This Christmas” is your favorite.

6. Men who often use the words/phrases: “dress pants”, “toiltries”, “awesome”, adorable, “Im sensitive”.

- She’s only into hip hop lite (kweli, tribe, de la, mos def, roots, you know the usual suspects of allegedly conscious folks). You’re not hip hop if that’s the only people you like.

- At *any* time thought that Cosby had a point during his Cheesecake speech.

- Constantly wears Espadrilles, platforms, wedges and other “my first heels”

- Wears some other make up than MAC. Go au natural before you sully my presence with a lesser cosmetic. Like we won’t all know that you’re wearing Revlon.

- Doesn’t gulp

- Not adventurous, esp food wise

- Is a chain snob (I don’t care what you talking bout, them cheddar biscuits @ Red Lobstas is hitting)

- Super picky (and vocal) about the cleanliness of restaurants
- Looks down on women with perms/naturals
- Still watches her “stories”

Studies have actually been done that prove that in most cases the cheaper drug store varieties and AVON are a better quality, last longer blah blah blah…

and for the record M.A.C is on the lower rung of “higher end” makeup. There are other “makeup” distributors that are much more exclusive and better than MAC

My #1 deal breaker is if he doesn’t like to read. Reading is not limited to just books; even if he just read newspapers and magazines (other than sports illustrated), then that would be cool too.

#2 If he only listens to rap. I love rap music. I like to listen to almost everything (can’t get into hard rock). But if a man can’t get down with some R & B or at least old school R & B every now and then, him and I would have some issues. It’s not like he has to love Prince like I do (although that would be nice.)

They sure do and that’s one reason why we couldn’t make it as a couple because I like a man who is knowledgeable on a variety of subjects.

I don’t want to fool w/you @ all if:

* you’re wearing braids. locs are DEFINITELY ok.

* have a kid that you don’t take care of. and “take care of” doesn’t mean send a check to his mama once a month. And if your kid is younger than 8 years old, beat it.

* question my proclivity towards putting my expansive vocabulary to use in everyday conversation.

* unfunny

* scared of technology

* have a myopic view of the world

* are snobbish and/or elitist

* have effed up teeth

* are extra sensitive

I already said bad taste in music. I can’t emphasize this enough. I am a music person and if you are one of those strictly “radio” people and aren’t even remotely interested in expanding your sonic horizons…get off my property!! Same goes for reading. If you don’t read newspapers/magazines or books, you are a slacker and have no place in my life.

Oh…please don’t be skinny.

Cuz the younger the kid, the more likely Daddy is still boinking Mommy.

Seriously, early childhood is 0-8 and very young kids need their daddies. I always feel like I could be possibly taking away from their time by dating a really small kid’s daddy. So to feel better about MYSELF and my philosophical views on childhood, I don’t do it.

I could not have maintained a relationship with a guy who does not wear or at least appreciate a nice sweater. Especially an argyle cashmere vest sweater. I love to buy sweaters for my guy. If a man just so happened to have been in a relationship with me come the turn of fall to winter, he received a sweater from me.

Could never date a man with girly looking hands.

Could never date a man who did not wear socks with his shoes. (Flip flops and slippers are the only exceptions)

Would not be in a relationship with a guy who does not like eggs.

My deal breakers
1. cornrows…if you are over the age of 12, you should no longer rock cornrows. I don’t care if you do play for the NBA. Get a haircut or grow a nice set of dreads.

2. Grills, fronts, gold teeth, or anything else that requires putting metal or a metal like substance in your mouth for a reason other than filling a cavity.

3. Men who are afraid to try new foods, new beverages, new music. Just doesn’t like new experiences.

4. Using of slang constantly. If you have a degree in anything, you should be able to speak (sometimes) without sounding like you are giving an interview on Rap City.

4. Men who don’t have an appreciation of old school R&B.

5. Tims and shorts.

6. Is either unregistered to vote, registered but will not vote, or a Republican.

Other deal breakers for me:
My high school had a strong rivarly with this one other high school that is just as bad as Michigan-Ohio State and I still couldn’t date a guy who went to school there. Everyone is my town grew up hating this school and the rivalry is still as strong.

Republicans- My family is strong democrats and politics is discussed all of the time. It just wouldn’t work out.

Any guy who doesn’t like sports, especially basketball. I’m a huge basketball fan.

Any guy who doesn’t like to travel. That’s my #1 favorite thing to do. I’m not talking about because of money, but just a guy who just has no interest in it.

- You have no sense of style. I once dumped a guy that showed up to a casual date in ankle-hugging ill-fitting jeans, a scrubby gray pull-over fleece, asics sneakers, and a silver chain…and I’ll do it again.

- You have no bass in your voice at all.

-Homeless (meaning, you live with moms)

Sidenote, TGIF is the bomb! I found a new meal there on my last visit!
Sidenote #2, in high school, my counselor (U of M alumni) would make the band (yes, I was in band) learn all of their fight songs when the big game (against Ohio State) was scheduled. She would also have this joint called “THE GREAT DEBATE!” People from both sides (Michigan and Ohio) would come and debate about who has the better team and who would win! Good ol’ days!

Alright y’all with the schools with good football teams – Can’t you all just get along? Imagine, going to a small private college in Ohio that wins a football game every. four. years. (I’m not even exaggerating.) Tragic, homie. But the national anthem was always the bomb (thanks, conservatory!)

Our women’s rugby team whooped up on Ohio State regularly, though. Go scrum.

On to my list:

– hawk spitters (you know the ones that like to make a theatrical production of bringing it up, swishing it around and leaving a kiddie size pool on the sidewalk/grass/kitchen counter.

– men who cuss because they have no other vocabulary (shout out Nicki S. – I’m with you on this one)

– grown men who sag/braid/grill/anything else that would remind you of Riley off of Boondocks.

– men who don’t watch Boondocks.

– Salesmen. Sorry, but y’all just can’t be trusted- to keep a steady paycheck. That commission ish is for the birds.

– My Space/Facebook rappers. Are you kidding? Keep it movin’.

– Men who call women bytches and then follow up with, “But I mean that in a respectful way.” Chop to the throat for you, homie.

– Men who don’t take care of their kids. Matter of fact, men with more than 2 kids. Ok, if I’m gonna be honest, men with more than 1 kid. Sorry, T.I.

Worrrd to #5.

My top five:

BAD TABLE MANNERS. Bad Table Manners include but are not limited to:
- Chewing with your mouth open / talking with food in your mouth. If what you have to say is that important, please cover your mouth while you say it. Besides the fact that if there’s food in your mouth I probably can’t understand you anyway.
- Motioning with utensils and/or food. I’m not trying to have a slash of spaghetti sauce down my shirt because you were gesturing to emphatically with your fork.
-Eating food that requires utensils with your hands. i.e. steak, eggs, salad, chicken Parmesan…
-Eating off my plate without asking. Um, I just met you, what ARE you doing?
-Licking your utensils. I know that A1 sauce is good, but really??

FLIP FLOPS & SOCKS. Unless this is part of your ninja turtle Halloween costume, it need not leave the house.

UNTRIMMED FINGERNAILS… I’m supposed to be scratching your back, not the other way around.

TALKING OVER ME. I dated a guy who liked to talk over me on the regular. So one day I decided that I was going to keep talking, just to see what would happen. Why were we both talking at the same time for a good 30 seconds. REALLY?!

LACK OF VOCAB… Dudes who over use the phrases “know what I’m sayin”, “you feel me?” or any variation of the aforementioned. And by over use, I mean it shouldn’t become a game for me to count how many times you say, “you smell me?” on a date. which brings us to the last one….

BODY ODOR. no explanation needed.

I’m going to leave out the normal ones like be self motivated, doesn’t like comedic movies, wasn’t gay before, judgmental etc…

At this point in my life, I can’t date a man…
1. that won’t kill the bugs without making me feel stupid. Just be my superman please
2. that has skid marks. DEAL BREAKER
3. that can’t kiss. I need regular kisses and good ones, forever
4. that smokes…it stinks. I will never want to kiss you
5. that gets sloppy drunk on the regular. It makes me less attracted to him.
6. who is a touring or consistently performing musician…done it more than once and it’s a bad look
7. that works at a club (I only trust one)
8. in the military…real passionate but tend to be insane
9. that creates music but it sucks – I will not be able to lie and support you.
10. that only listens to hip hop 24-7
11. that has a non-bass-filled voice
12. that sings falsetto…it’s girly to me
13. that can’t pick out a decent suit, shirt and tie combo
14. that dyes his hair
15. that is too close with his best friends in a suspect way …I’ve seen it and it makes me nervous
16. that was a whore right before dating me and now his life has changed…or has it?
17. that has 50 million condoms around his house. Seriously, all those weren’t waiting for me.

* Has a weird laugh. Like, a laugh so odd that it stopped me from laughing at what was originally funny.
* Gives me an unsolicited nickname. Don’t. Just don’t.
* Volunteers to help me “trim the hedges”. Ew, ew, ew.
* Has long fingernails or short fingers.
* Sweats excessively for no apparent reason. Two words: Crack rock.

bad tippers. unless the waitress squirts in my tea, they get at least 20 percent from me. (sidenote: i have a few friends who bartend/wait on the weekends, and they all say without fail, that black women are generally the worst tippers. the best: gay white men, lol)

women who claim to be open-minded and non-elitist one breath, but then thumb their nose at anyone with a different political ideology or music/shopping habits. you can’t have it both ways.

non-athletic women. i’m not saying that you hafta be sonya richards or anything, but if walking up the stairs to my apartment gets you out of breath, then just walk your ass back downstairs.

thundergoat-ish women. this basically describes chicks that are always just TOO much. too much makeup, too much hair…basically if a drag queen could effectively emulate you, you suck.

women who refuse to date former and current athletes, and women who ONLY date ormer and current athletes

before I call bogus on this what is your deduction system?
I still think its bogus to have a deduction system to begin with. If it isnt just disastrous you should tip at least 20. Everything that happens isnt the fault of the waitstaff. You have to put yourself in their shoes.

a non-favorite team having spectator would likely be unauthorized to be in my presence during a fball game and therefore wouldn’t have any opportunity to spew unwarranted hate. the way i see it, not having any team/coach/player allegiance invalidates the hate becuz there’s no sincerity or passion behind it. and it’s just plain talking at that point. so why would these people be talking at all? the only speech out of their mouths should be “do you need a fresh drink?” or “can i get you some more chips and dip?”

People who don’t own macs, and then want to sit and have the PC vs Mac debate with me have proven to be suspect. I honestly can’t have a PC household, particularly for the kids. They need freedom.

Top ten nonsensical deal breakers for me are:

1) Jamaicans- I know it’s weird swearing off an entire Island, especially when both of my brothers still live there (I wouldn’t even date them if I wasn’t their sister). The only time I dated a Jamaican was when I lived there…nuff said.

2) Republicans

3) Feel the need to impress me because they are an athlete, got a car, money, hot shot lawyer, blah blah blah…I could care less who you are or what you got (But don’t get it twisted, I want you to have your own car and some money, but bragging is only going to turn me off)

4) Stank breath

5) Do not like Dragon Ballz (or cartoons for that matter) and have no love for Spongebob

6) Do not appreciate reggae & dancehall music for all its glory

7) Cannot make me laugh or smile (BTW, it’s very hard to not make me laugh)

8) Can’t take a joke or appreciate my very silly nature

9) Absolute deal breaker if you wear hoop earrings (two and you have no chance in hell even if you were the last man alive)…studs only (preferably one)

10) Do not wear their pants at the waist (one of the few things Jamaicans get right, except it’s too tight)

11) Have absolutely no rhythm

OK, so I can’t count…11 top ten deal breaker

You know, in addition to registering people to vote, we should all recruit more readers to VSB. VSB needs more people. And those people should be men.

There’s no balance.

There was a very lengthy commentary about make-up today and I, for one, was deeply disturbed. I think (West Indian) Archie is a Jughead for even having a preference other than “doesn’t make you look like a whore” and he should be sent to the corner post haste for inciting such rabble-rousing amongst the wenches.

I saw a comment on here about women not wanting men with children . . .how do the fellas feel about dating a female with children when you have none?

For some reason, lately I have been dealing with a lot of women with children who are around my age (26) some younger. I feel if I have managed to be child free through my days of whoring about town (jk. . .maybe) then i would want the woman that I end up being serious with to have done the same . . . if I’m just frequenting your abode for the stick and move, thats fine, ill buy a happy meal. . .but if being serious. . . I dont know. . .any thoughts???

Reply

693 pgh muse October 9, 2008 at 1:04 pm

I have kids… and do date (more like talk to) other men when me and my bd are on the outs… I think it’s definitely a personal preference and depends on what u are looking for in a relationship and how much you love that woman. Some men are willing to sacrifice some of their expectations to date a woman with kids because they really love her… but in truth (the way I see it) People who have children have issues that single people do not and it would be really hard to manage. I’ve never tried to have a serious relationship with a man outside of my bd so i can’t comment from personal experience but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not wanting to date a woman with children.

i think we (you, Ivy, me) should go to a game (this season or next, ya know we’ll be around for awhile). even tho Ivy is an extreme hater and [unfortunately] a Pats fan, we’d have an amusing time. and who doesn’t like going to Heinz field??

Not dating anyone who roots for dook university (aka Duke) or went there for undergrad. He’d have to be extremely hot and special for me to make that exception. Grad school at dook is okay because nobody really has any allegiance to their grad school. I know I don’t.

Republicans. Can’t do it.

Limited music knowledge. Nope.

Homophobes. Nothing doing.

I can’t stand stuck up females.

A chick that’s “too good” for Fast Food, Bootleg Movies and Music, Chinese store chicken Wings, Hood bars, BBQ’s (I’m the type that will cook out all year long), to down to jump in a fight with her man

Yes I love my Hoodrats, but on the flip side if you wear fake Jordans or rock designer Hand bags (no I can’t tell if you bag is fake, but don’t let me catch you buying one). . .then Houston we have a problem.

If you have to make noises while you chew gum
If your “always talkin out your neck, makin your fingers snap” then kick rocks
Loud for no reason (see IVR’s comments about his train ride)
If you wear Jordans and your child(ren) have on payless
If your rocking the new Gucci bag and your lights is turned off
If you presiously dated a big time Drug dealer/ Rapper/Actor/Basketball, Football, Hockey, Baseball player then keep it moving

Damn, over 500 comments. I knew i shoulda checked over here last night.

Deal breakers:
I really dont like dudes who go to bed early. I’m a night owl so you need to stay yo azz up until I go to sleep.

Vegetarians or those who are allergic to seafood. I love love love seafood but my ex was so allergic that if I had shrimp on my salad and then kissed him…he’d die. That’s sh@ it hella wack.
And I’d like to cook my man a steak every now and then…after he serves me a hot platter of peen.

A man who is hella fine, gets the side eye from me. I cant stand a fine azz man. lol I like the extra regular looking azz riggans because “fine as hell” usually means Klhoe, Shanteeka, and Becky are eying my man, and I’m tired of stabbin’ b@tches in the back of the head to prove my love.

If he doesn’t recognize the awesomeness of “The Five Heartbeats” and if he roots for the 49ers, he will never be more than “that dude who lets me sit on his face”. Sorry, but it’s true.

Oh and if I’m the first Black girl he’s ever dated: i’m so not interested in being the representative for Black women. I’ll end up making a whole demographic look bad since I tend to curse folks out for fun and only give head in case of emergencies.

I’m with you on this one. Quit being a party pooper. On the flip side, when I do go to sleep, it would be great if you would turn in too. If I want to go to sleep alone all the time, I could just sleep at my own house.

This is just wrong. I’m about to re-start up the equal rights in the bedroom movement. I love giving head as much as I love to be on the receiving end, but if females plan on “stepping up to the mic’ only for emergencies, birthdays, anniversaries, and make-up sex then “licking the ginger snap” should only be done on said occasions. All in favor say I . . .

Hey Panama, I will rep UM for you (Ph.D., 1993) if graduate studies count. And I hate OSU too, even though I grew up in Columbus.

But I have heard it referred to as THE University of Michigan in the past. So we are arrogant too, sometimes.

Deal breakers unique to me -

-Accept that I watch/attend/work the track of any and all forms of Motorsports
-I WILL be watching UM football whenever it is on. Just vaccum around me
-I hate salad; always have, always will
-I will try any type/genre of food and you gotta be there with me and try it at least once
-I will shower multiple times a day in the summer. Just deal with it and plan around it. I hate feeling sticky/smoky after cooking over the grill.
-I love to laugh and will search out the ways and means to laugh. So if Chris Rock offends you, go into the other room.

Go Blue!!!

But yea…as for dealbreakers:

*Mandals. I can’t date a man that wears mandals.

*Braids. Thats something a grown man should NOT be wearing. Plus, I can’t braid, so it takes away from the sex appeal.

*Men who are exotic dancers. Yes, there is one that wants to date me.

*Men who have children, multiple children. I’m too young to be a mother, and I HATE baby-momma drama.

*Grills. They made Nelly un-sexy.

*No car. Unless you live in a city where it’s not required (i.e. New York, Chicago, etc).

*Arrogant, flashy b*stards. You know, the ones with chains or that brag about what they got.

*Men who can’t hold a conversation of substance. Yes, it may be great to talk about entertainment stuff, or about that girl at the restaurant last night with the bad weave, but you can’t hold a conversation about current events and your reading list resembles that of Sarah Palin…yea, you gotta go.

*Ebonics. I refuse to lower my standards to accommodate someone who has a college degree, yet, you would never know because his grammar is worse than Soldier Boy’s.

*Close-minded. Thats self-explanitory.

if you have no clean dishes in your house (had a guy give me a greasy glass full of water. I was so tempted to throw it at him.)

Quirky deal-breakers for me:
1. You don’t respect Michael Jackson as the greatest entertainer of all time.
2. You drink from my apple juice before I’ve established that it was ok. I love apple juice. A whole lot. I’m also germophobic. But those things together, and I’m NOT happy with you drinking from my container of apple juice without written consent from me.

Also… Donnie Hathaway… Howard alum. Don’t be mad. Just respect it. And never call us Morehouse’s bitch again. Not only is it inaccurate, but it’s grounds for a BIson stampede. Corny I know… but it had to be said. :D
