wild cherry flags

by The Champ on October 31, 2008 · 540 comments

in lists, theory

whenever we bring up a topic dealing with red flags, deal-breakers, and other undesirable relationship qualities, the utter disdain for clinginess is repeatedly brought up…easily the muse for at least 300 comments. seemingly on par with serial infidelity, anti-intellectuallism, and crackheadedness, the general public sentiment behind the idea of “a clingy person” apparently ranks somewhere between “star jones” and “david koresh” with pretty much every vsb regular. well, every vsb regular…except me.

now obviously, being with a clingon wouldn’t be my optimum choice. although i’m not a space nazi, i do appreciate some alone time for writing, metacognition, “pastor racing, kool-aid procuring, and other leisurely independant activities. but, if i were forced to choose between polar opposites “clingy” and “cold“, “cold” would get dropped quicker than siohvaughn wade. personally, i’d much rather be bombarded with attention than be in a romantic relationship devoid of it.

again, i’m not saying that it can definitely be annoying, but i can live with it. there are worse qualities a person can have (ie: “thimbleheadedness” and “being puerto rican”).

the clingy conundrum has made me think of other personal attributes and behaviors that are common red flags and/or deal-breakers for many people…but really don’t bother me much at all. deal-breakers for most everyone else, but “ehhh…its cool. its no big deal” for me.

for the sake of the entry, and in honor of my favorite flavor of kool-aid (which noone else seems to like), lets call these wild cherry flags

nassatalls

although i’ll forever remain excitedly intrigued by the presence of a philly with a exquisite booty depth and a perfect ass-to-waist ratio, its not a prerequisite. in fact, my ex-fiancee was about nassatall as one can get. i’d even joke with her that she had an “extended back”.

again, though. let me make this very clear. i’m NOT saying that i’m not an assfan, lol. sh*t, if i could, i’d sleep on satin bed pillows in the mold of bria myles’s hindparts. i’m just saying that i could live happily without it.

a political conservative

…as long as she votes for obama nov. 4th, i could care less how she feels the other 364 days of the year, lol

a virgin

of course, if women were on sale at giant eagle, i wouldnt intentionally go shopping in the virgin aisle…but if one happened to fall into my shopping cart, i wouldn’t be headed back there a day later, reciept in hand, screaming at the store manager for selling me defective goods.  i’d definitely wait at least a week before doing that.

thats its for me right now.

friends, fans, serial fellators, funders, and followers of vsb.com, what are some of your wild cherry flags?

***btw, just in case anyone was taking any bets, the over/under for the number of reading challenged people who will completely ignore the topic today and just list their own personal red flags is 19***

Oh, well, hello Luvvie,

That’s right, I’ve been here waiting for you. Wow, I can hear your pulse racing from across the room. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of space here. It’s bed time, why don’t you just relax, slip into something comfortable, and post yourself right up under me. Yeah, just like that. . .

Kamakula, I’m flattered that you were waiting for me. Did you bring me something? I know your nights ain’t right without me on top or below you. Your week must have been lonely with me missing. All is well now. I am here.

But Monday, we BEGIN again! I demand satisfaction, and challenge you to a DUEL (of 1st post).

NOW, to bed I go.

kamakula Reply:

Luvvie, you know I always come prepared for your attentions. You should already know there’s no need to demand satisfaction, I think we both know how these things always turn out ;)

I’ll admit, while I do enjoy having your on top, what’s more fun is the tussling as we jockey for that position.

Bring it :)

And a soundtrack with Diddy (can’t stop, won’t stop), T-pain, and Rihanna. Yes, we got soundtrack.

P.S. We need someone with a sexy voice to say “Bom Chicka Wah Wah” so we can embed it in the tape.

Champ, you are a bitter enabler! How many chances are you gonna give VSBers to list the INFINITE, tome-length list of “flags? Mofos gon come up here talking nonsense like:

“You know what I hate? Them people that have the AUDACITY to have asthma and breath. Who they think they is? Shoot, all sick and stuff. The NERVE!”

and

“I can’t STAND mofos who like Thai food. I mean, why can’t they just be satisfied with a Big Mac? International food lovers are a no-no.”

Champ, you’ve opened floodgates that will require an ark from Noah to survive. This will be GREAT for me b/c there will be no shortage of things to snark at.

who doesn’t like wild cherry kool-aid, that’s like the first flavor ever made, ain’t it? wild cherry and blue houdini were my favorites as a growing girl in mccandless twp.
anyway, i have a few wild cherry flags:
1. height deficiency- i’m a shorty, so technically i don’t ‘need’ all that height.
2. crooked teeth- as long as he brushes and goes to the dentist.
3. no college degree (as long as he reads and enjoys learning new things)
4. corny humor/behavior…i can be corny too so that could work. as long as he doesn’t call me schmoopie or s3xual chocolate in public, we’re cool.
5. “more to love”- a little belly never hurt nobody…*giggling*

that’s all i have for now…back to work.

my wild cherry flags include:

1. music taste. i recognise that not everybody gets down with hip hop/soul/the occasional amazing electronica dj like i do. my last/current lover’n'friend listens almost exclusively to headbanging metal. which is cool, it’s kinda hot to have $ex to…. i heard.

2. occasional ashiness. now if a fool stays on that ashy larry tip, he’ll barely make it to a handshake, let alone a relationship. but i understand – maybe you ran out of jergens due to pastor racing. maybe the coldness in the d is messing with your skin situation. it’s aii, just let me teach you the wonders of – um – body oil.

3. non-appreciation of some aspects of african cuisine i.e. goat meat, guinea fowl, and chilli (to a certain extent). i understand not everyone likes the sensation of having their tongue on fire. sadly, it also means you might get to miss out on the best food of all time prepared by yours truly.

i’ll get back at this later.

Panama Jackson Reply:

sorry PBG but i don’t actually understand Raheem’s appeal. his albums are largely ungood. he has a good voice but whoopty damn do. “woman” was WAAAAAY overrated. that song got so many “positive music” points that folks didn’t take the time to realize that there wasnt really anything special about that song. he just said “i appreciate women” and chicks swooned.

sad when that’s all it takes. thats like people thinking alicia keys is the most talented chick out there…she gets lightskint AND positive-by-not-being-negative points.

LOL at Giant Eagle. Brings me back to ‘02…but thats another story.

So yea, wild cherry flags:

* Guys under 6 ft. I mean, I wear heels alot when I go out (usually around 4-5 inches), so I like a man to still be taller than me, and not the other way around). However, it’s not totally a dealbreaker since I’ve dated guys under 5′ 10″ before…

*Crooked Teeth…they don’t have to be perfect, but if you’re teeth look worse than Austin Powers from the first movie (i.e. yellow, and looking, as my brother would say, like they’re throwing up gang signs), then its a no-go. Seriously, I had braces, you can get em too…

*Living at your parents house. It is not fun trying to find time to get freaky things going on when we both live with parents (I had an apartment…I now live with mom…long story)…but its not impossible.

*Crap rap listener. Like if Gucci Man and Jim Jones are your favorite rappers, then chances are, I will NOT be vibing with you at all on your music choices (or want you to make me any cd’s for the car). However, I can’t say its a total dealbreaker since I dated a guy like this.

*Athlete. I used to date them, because I used to be an athlete, and I’m obsessed with the gym (I hate lazy guys…I enjoy having workout buddies as well). I now realize I hate their hoe-dom and their arrogance. But if you can hide the fact that you are an athlete from me (don’t as me how, but some people have managed to do so), then so be it. Just expect me to find out through 411 digging and kick your @ss after the fact.

Um, I don’t think I have any more. My standards are rising due to the sheer volume of crap I seem to gravitate to/attract. But that’s another story.

Those “tropical punch” flags (yes..it is my fave) are total deal breakers for me..
along with:

- a”sensitive” man,
- an overly hood or would never be caught in a hood man..
(he has to have a good balance between advanced intelligence and street knowledge)
-a man who doesnt appreciate my fondness for all Bay Area sports teams..
-a man with excessive facial hair..lol i know im weird..i cant stand it..

Same here. I’m a wee bit taller than 5′5″ but because of my shoes I’m pushing 5′9, 5′10″, seeing eye to eye with average height dudes.

I’m already 5′10″ without shoes. I try to stick to normal height heels 2 to 3 inches and I start to push 6′0″ to 6′1″. Throughout high school and undegrad, I loved me some short guys; it was no guys over 5′8″ for me because I wasn’t confident in my tallness. I convinced myself that if I wanted my kids’ heights to even out so I should marry a short guy. Now, I mostly pull guys around 6′3″ to 6′5″. During college after so many people told me I should model; I grew much more confident with my height. Plus, the protected feeling I get from a guy bigger than me when he holds me is amazingly comforting.

Champ, its good to know that booty isn’t a die-hard requirement for you. I feel much better about continuing to let you fall in love with me one hug at a time.

My WCF’s arrrre:

1. Independence. Let me explain. Seems like a lot of women get a boyfriend and then suddenly expect him to be at her disposal 24/7. Ehh, that’s not really my thing. Sure, I’d love to know where you are, and nothing makes me feel better than spending time cuddling up under you, but calling you every hour on the hour for an update isn’t my bag, baby. Plus, I have a life too.

2. Enjoying sports/video games. I really don’t get why women get so bent outta shape about this, as long as its within reason. If I’m in my man’s place and he cuddles up with madden the entire night, that’s not cool. But damn, can that man play his game in peace for a few hours while you read a book or some shyt? He doesn’t get salty with you for shopping, yapping, or whatever else your hobby is.

3. Talking. By that I mean, some people are really uncomfortable when they’re with their SO and there’s not constant conversation. I’m a huge fan of comfortable silence. I like to just BE sometimes. Hell, sometimes I want to be in your presence, but I’d prefer it if you said nothing. All that constant talkage is for the birds.

I’ll be back in the mawnin with more.

Dudes who love to argue moot shyt. I hate people who like to argue, and the fact that I’ve attracted more than one person like this concerns me.

People who don’t know their history or like to read. If you went to public school, you will know these two are not unrelated. Please don’t respond and say “I don’t know much about the Civil Rights movement so I can’t say”. This type of ignorance leads to dumb arse statements like the one made by Solja Boi (why’d you) Tell Em.

These are the same people who start a sentence with “No offense but…”

Rude people. I can’t stand people who are only nice to people in their inner circle, and are stone faced and ready for war with everyone else. Sit the f*ck down and drink some green tea.

People who lack basic home training. Just today as I was about to walk into a building I saw a young guy stride by an elderly woman as they were about to reach the door. I really did make an arse out of u and me cause I assumed he would open the door. Why did that door shut as the women reached it? Right in her face. He was not even on the elevator as she struggled to open the door.

That’s all I can think of for now. I think this is a nice list. Be nice, enjoy learning, be civilized, don’t argue, and loathe Solja Boi. It’s like the five commandments and shyt.

2. white guys. my preference is a brotha but …hey

3. men who are from “obscure” parts of the country. I suppose I could date a man from IA, particularly if he had a potato hookup…for the au gratin.

3b. a man who “thinks” he can cook. I really don’t like for men to “mess” around in my kitchen. But if he claims he can cook. We would have to have a cook off where friends and family would have to vote, and if we tied or he won (that shyt would be rigged some kinda way) however if it was a fair win, only then would be be allowed to burn with me.

Being a thug…I dont mind really, I am a tough chick. I get loud, and regardless of how uncouth.. Yeah I will still fight a biatch, so I need a dude thats down for the clown sometimes…..My husband is a gangster nerd.. smart, intelligent, hard working but PLease believe me when I say, he AINT going.. and that shyt is s.e.xy

I have also messed witih a few nerds…like for real, socially inept, computer, math geniuses…they are often times very sweet and you learn a lot from them……

color barrier.. If I wasnt married.. I might be down for some half and half or soy, or even completely vanilla milk from time to time

if he doesnt go downtown. I mean when it was new it was the hottest shyt going but after awhile…………….I know some think its blasphemy but the guy before my husband didnt and he was awesome in bed and it didnt really matter.. And now that I can get it when I want it.. Its a sometimes not all the time thing….I mean I am all for the warm up but Dyck is the headliner for me…..

Wild cherry flags…Let’s see:

1) non college educated-while i think that a college education is something that is beneficial for most people, some people have a certain go get ‘em attitude or gift in another area, and can make their way without following a degree audit. now, i DON’T need you to be sitting your arse around, working some uninspired 9-5 and making min wage trying to take me out to some damn ryan’s like that’s okay, BUT i’m not just gonna judge you because you didn’t go to college. (sidenote: as a freshman in college, i remember being sooo impressed when my new–non-college–boyfriend was reading the same ish i had been assigned, just because he wanted to. mmm.)

2) aspiring singer (NOT RAPPER! hell naw.)–let me explain. as an actress (who is giving up on the dream day by long tired day. haha.), i respect someone who isn’t afraid to hold onto their dream and work at it, as an adult. now, i DON’T need you to be 37 with no resume or training or ‘get up and go,’ talking about how you will “one day” be on oprah and and be the new tyrese and all of that. and…i don’t mean to stereotype, but this is why i make the exclusion for rappers. they get a big ol’ red flag.

umm………what else……

3) men that use profane language-as long as they actually have a vocabulary and are not just crude & gross, men (esp. southern men) usually react very well to a playful, “please don’t swear like that around me. lol.” and i like that reaction….

*Physical Appearance – Some of my homies exclusively date the model type or the chick whom the majority of n*ggas would pursue. I have no problem with that but experience has taught me that looks shouldn’t be the number one factor. Looks fade, seasons change, blah, blah, blah, etc….not saying that I will entertain someone who I find physically repulsive, but one doesn’t have to be a beauty queen as long as they do have some redeeming physical attribute and other shyt to bring to the table.

*The Cooking Factor – A woman who can cook her ass off is definitely a plus, but I’m not gonna trip if she’s not overly proficient in the kitchen. I’m not picky like that…and plus I can bake a potato, steam or boil some broccoli, and a n*gga’s NICE on the Foreman Grill. Liquid smoke and proper seasoning goes a long way.

*Ability To Procreate – This is a major no-no with many men, however, being 31 (for the next couple of weeks…my born day is Nov. 16th), I’m not convinced that I need to have children. I understand that children are a blessing but as of now, I have no desire to have a Prince Monk or Princess Monk.

So the 80% rule, huh?

1. Thick accents. Sometimes it can be irritating but sometimes, cute.
2. Edgy – OK to have a little but not too much. Keeps things poppin
3. Parental drama – just so you handle it as best you can and just so you got my back with them. And you know when to mount up and leave.
4. Talk, talk, talk – talk all you want, but give me the option to opt out when my cup/ears are full.
5. Not of my denomination – this one is new for me but I am recently becoming much more tolerant. Just believe in God and work out the particulars for yourself.
6. Clingy – like our fearless leader, I can handle this better than distance. I once had to walk away from a lady that told me she did not like non-s*xual displays of affection. Sorry, had to go.

-sports a nappy mustache – i mean, really. wtf? i trim it. After I cut his hair.

Not about red flags, not about must haves this is

My negotiable list.

1) Cig/Weed Smoker – Terrible Kiss aftermath or Black lips? Not a problem. The fact that she willfully ingests something that will kill her may be a red flag to a lesser man, but for me (a non-smoker) that’s nothing but sexy.

2) Takes forever to get ready – As we miss our flight to Acapulco, you need to find those big ass hoop earrings, otherwise you just won’t feel right. Other cats will stew in anger as they lose time, and possibly some cash. Me? Jewelry, Purses, Shoes, Make up – I love those things you do to look good, feel feminine, and out dress the next woman.

3) Can’t Cook – It’s a lot more fun to cook with someone that can’t cook, than a kitchen Nazi.

4) Morning Person – I’m vampiric with my hatred of the sun and love for the night, but a bright eyed and bushy tailed chick can is often a Jah Send.

I take the under (hopes that VSB readership is indeed V and S).

Quick aside, how in the hell can you date a nasatall chick??? That will absolutely kill me. I wouldn’t be able to go out with her, because all the beautiful bootay would be so distracting it would only serve to enrage her and further frustrate me.

Well anyway I’m calling these grape flags, only because grape (or purple according to Chappelle) is a vastly superior flavor of beverage than whatever it is you listed up top***

Ok here we go:

Reading Rainbow. Listen if she shares the same passion for butterflies in the sky as Lavar Burton thats great. If not its no big deal. I mean really people its 2008 there are a million ways to stay informed, I don’t need a chick who spends a good amount of our fornic8able time staring at dead trees with words on them.

Parties all the time. I like Eddie Murphy. Really I do. I agree with him on a lot of issues. However I fundamentally disagree with him that a girl who enjoys the nightlife as much as me is a detriment. I never got this, so you like to party and club yet you want a woman who stays home all the time??? How does that make sense? So while you’re out partying, her “gay friend” Andre, can come and watch Bridezilla with her and taste her new cupcakes. Andre will get them cakes all right.

Plans our house/car/kids/dogs she want it all. Though I don’t want a liar, cheater, deceiver or a heartbreaker, I do want in my life a woman who openly expresses the fact that she hopes that our kids come out with my cheeks or her hair. My friends: son i’ve been seeing this girl for 3 years and she talking bout “when we move in together…” WHEN!!! Dogs its only been 3 YEARS, we just met and sh*t.” Me: Ok so you would rather her say things like “listen after I cheat on you, you think we’ll still be friends?” or “hey i totally plan on just using you to fill my loneliness until med school when I meet a potential doctor who I really want” Friends: *Crickets*

1) Body Odor – I don’t mind if you stank. Sometimes people can stank so good. I like my man to run around outside all day, take a sh*t and not wipe his azz all the way. Mmmmhmmmm Funk =aphrodisiac.

2) Wack S3X game – S3x is overrated anyway. Besides if he can’t fukc that good, I won’t have to worry about other chicks getting dycktimized.

3) Smart – He doesn’t have to be smart. Who doesn’t like role playing. I can be the teacher and he can be the student. And I DO spank at my school. Owwwwwwwww

4) Functional Crackhead – Crackheads are some sneaky, I mean crafty individuals. They can always come up on flat screen tvs, the latest video system. Pretty much anything. We’re in a recession, so I gotta take what I can get.

5) Baby Daddy five times – Shyt that means I won’t have to worry about him wanting me to have kids. I can keep my size 4 figure. WHooDeeHooo

Clingy is cool if it’s a lot of attention. But when a guy calls a ridiculous amount of times each day and gets upset when you don’t call him back right away, then it’s a problem.

My Wild Cherry Flags are…

1) Musical Tastes – As long as it’s not country or heavy metal.

2) Body Type – I prefer guys who are athletic & built, but will date skinny guys too.

3) Profession – Most of the guys that I’ve dated are engineers or business professionals, but really don’t care as long as they’re passionate about what they do.

4) Political Beliefs- As long as it’s not extreme. This is for both liberals and conservatives. Both types of extremists irk me.

Purple flags

1. friends with my friends~ you aint got to be friends with them heiffers but minimally just tolerate them and play nice when we go out together.

2. make more money than me ~ this used to be one of my requirements, funny cause in the 14 years we were together the ex only made more $ than me while I was in grad school. I don’t mind being the primary bread winner so long as we are contributing equally

3. be greek affiliated~as someone who is actively involved in her sorority I just need you to understand and respect that. It’s kind of like your Sunday basketball games and Monday Night Football.

4. college degree ~ don’t want to restate what has already been said upthread.

5. have children~while I can respect that you have children with an ex understand that I am not looking for drama, I don’t go looking for them but its fine if it comes about

2. Has children. I like the kids and though not ideal I can accept his.

2. One baby/One twinkie away ladies… (shout out to Memphis Bleek)

3. Women w/ kids. I love kids & plan on getting into education. Plus the older you get, and the longer you stay single, it’s more likely that some women you meet will have at least 1 child

My WCF

1. An alum, fan, or any fan who wishes he was an alum of Michigan. As an alum of The Ohio State University, he would normally be an automatic “hell no”, but I like a little sports drama in my relationships

2. A little more to love; I don’t mind him being a little out of shape or even a little lazy in the exercise dept. b/c I have a ton of ideas of how to burn hundreds of calories while lying down…or sitting…whatever.

3. A baby’s dady. As long he is taking care of his responsbilities to his child, I am cool with that. In fact, I will definitely have a lot of respect for him doing what he is supposed to do without the court forcing him to do it

4. A picky eater. I know I don’t eat everything, and I won’t try everything b/c I’m vegetarian going on vegan, so I wouldn’t expect him to want to try any and everything edible…or maybe I should say consumable.

I’m sure I have more, so I will be back later….

#1 – punctuality – I’m late for EVERYTHING!!! at least 15 minutes… i tells this up front and matter of factly. I need a grace period…. so if he’s not a punctual type dude who am i to complain about that.

# 2 – height – ehh… i’m a tallish chick (5′7”) but as long as he’s at least 5′10” and has some bulk on him he doesn’t have to be a skyscraper

#3 – being hood… I definitely feel like i need a man with SOME hood credentials but if he’s a total geek and has never even saw a project i may be able to work with that as long as his heart don’t pump koolaid.

#4 -skinny – i’ve never liked a skinny dude… but if his personality made up for his lack of girth and circumfrence i could prolly work with it.

#5 – melanin deficient – older I get and the freer i get, the more attractive i find men of other races

#6 – music tastes… as long as it’s not slasher music or something like that he can listen to whatever he likes.

CHAMP…I’m with you…I prefer clingy to cold if I have to choose between the two extremes…and as far as the nasatall…the 25/20’s in my gene pool tried to get mine, but I got a smack-able, handful back there and have gotten no complaints…so I apreciate your propensity for not making the young and the rumpless a dealbreaker…as for my dealbreakers…ummmm….let’s see..

A couple that just came to me…

Boughetto women. Well seeing as how I’m living in the mecca of boughettoness, I guess I have to make this a grape flag. Sure you can’t eat at Applebees, Red Lobster, Ruby Tuesday’s or Chili’s; yet you don’t know what a salad fork is? Whatever. Sure you hate it when ni99as are too cheap to take a high class gal like yourself to Morton’s and Ruth’s Chris, yet you continously order your petit ribeye well done because you “don’t eat raw meat”. Mmhmm. Hey who am I to judge that you refuse to drink bottom shelf liquors yet have a wide collection of Sutter Home in your crib? SMH

im sorry..Im well done from the cradle to the grave (ive been told im a ghetto fab foodie)

..i don’t like to see pink at all.Lea & Perrins can’t even mask the taste of runny blood…

miss t-lee Reply:

My cousin orders her steaks rare.
I always tell her, why don’t you just order that ish raw?
Cut into it and blood goes running ‘cross the plate.
I don’t even wanna eat my food now, thanks.

Medium well, please and thank you.

The Comeback Girl Reply:

i dunno Ms. T..i can “taste pink” even in medium well..really well done steak has a nice “chard” taste almost like chocolate…

see (Dorian) my Boughetto @zz can EXPLAIN why i like my meat well done.

miss t-lee Reply:

‘i can “taste pink”’

That still doesn’t make it right. For all that we might as well go to Outback and get you the $12.99 “ribeye” and you get it well done because it’ll taste exactly the same.

The Comeback Girl Reply:

im not opposed to outback..i just know that i prolly wont be gettin no chateaubriand …there know what i mean son?

most of my WCFs have been mentioned already. but while on my brisk walk to work (why i was in a hurry to get here at 12:30p is beyond me) i thought of another…

~hairy men. there used to be a time when the slightest hint of chest hair made me uncomfortable and sent me running in the opposite direction. but now i’m over it. kind of. overactive hair follicles can be helped. i mean, for some one (read: me) who has to tweeze the hell outta her eyebrows to keep them sharp, arched, and separated AND has to shave her legs all too often to keep them sleek and smooth, i understand completely. so after i’m done edging up the bikini line, i can hook up the mane growing out of my man’s thorax–i promise to be gentle.

You and me both brother. You and me both.

I watched that Chris Brown, T-Pain video from time to time just for that moment.

bria’s unbelievable. in fact, i think she should just change her name to “bria’s unbelievable”.

Sorry to be tardy to the party (a la Brian from Family Guy )

and I aint mad that yall calling people out for not staying on topic I mean who wants to get 500 plus comments to their blog if half of them arent even staying with the topic!! thats some bullshit..but on with my list…..

skinny men- and im talking about bird chest skinny, I actually dont mind a man who is bony sometimes I actually prefer it especially if he is tall….that ups the chance that he is packing…8 out 10 doctors agree!

ugly feet- I could give two shits if a man has nice looking toes, long as he can clip them toenails his feet can look like they throwin up gang signs

college education- this has been referenced before ditto to all those that spoke on it …and just as long as he dont come at me with that “college education is just a conspiracy to drive black people into debt” I actually had a guy say that shit to me

No swagger- this was spoke on to, as long as he is not a straight up bitch he doesnt have to be the all extra cool, all the ladies pause when he steps into the room dude

Kids- this is only if he is at an age where its pretty much expected, like 35 or older if I was to date someone that old I would expect him to have some children just leave that baby mama drama shit at the door….

If I have more I’ll be back

Hey there day-me! It’s been forever!

Cherry red flags huh…

okay.

#1 smokers: It doesn’t bother me because I was raised around it.

#2 Men with a small gut or are a bit out of shape: I’m not that shallow. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt if they tried to work that off but a little bit of this and that doesn’t bother me. I like teddy bears. They’re good for cuddles.

#3 Ugly feet / The basketball toes!: Well..I’m not a HUGE fan of jacked up feet but if he keeps his socks on it’s not a deal breaker. Plus I’m the kind of woman who would give my man a pedicure with my own hands.

#4 Hair Loss?!!! This is a big one. I’m 30 now and as I get older I’m noticing that this is something many men in the age bracket that I date are subject to. As long as he doesn’t look like George Jefferson with the two poodle puffs, then it’s all good. He just has to keep it very short or shave it all off.
