Residue

"Never make a man a priority when he only makes you an option"

Maybe if I wore a Palmolive t-shirt it would send a message to some of the men I meet that I'm not with the sloppy seconds, you know the residue it leaves behind like grease on a dirty pot? It's kind of slimy to me. I mean at least if you are going to have another woman or women in your life your approach, or your overall game should be tight so as not to piss me off and have me blow up your spot. What am I talking about? 2007 was an interesting year with men for me. More than half of them had women in their lives and they were all such morons about it. Take Jake, the snake probably one of the biggest fools I met in '07. I liked him much though our time together was short. I won't deny that he liked me. He liked me so much that after lying to me about where he was sleeping out one night, the next morning he called me before leaving work. Not more than say 15 minutes later my phone rings and it's a female on the end. She's claiming to be his girlfriend and how did she get my number? The fool called me from her phone. This was a stupid move. The fool could have at least waited till he got to work to call me or maybe when he got in the car he could have called me from his cell phone, even pay phones still work in NYC.

Unlike the above snake many of the other men I met didn't know how to share their time to make me feel even if for a moment that I was the only female they were interested in. And that's where a lot of you men screw up. You want to use women like doormats but don't know how to reel us in in such a way that you could have your cake and eat it too. Ok so telling some females upfront you have a girl may send her running in the other direction. And it always tickles me to hear some of you get angry when we don't want to deal with that. The first thing many of you [men] need to understand is that we don't have to want to deal with you having another woman. We have the right to want to have someone to call our own.

Many of you act as if you are even worth us sitting on the back burner waiting for you to call or come through. For instance you come around this month or even a few days this week and then disappear for weeks or months at a time. We call you, don't answer. We leave messages to no avail and then when you're ready for your fix you call like it's all good. It ain't all good! At least act like you give a fuck past the bedroom. Women don't want to feel like we're just objects to a men. I don't care who she is, she wants to feel loved or at the very least liked very well. If your goal is to get a female in the bedroom all your meeting before that step is taken should be gentleman like. Not like Ashley who didn't want to meet me to walk me to his house when I was blocks away from him. His excuse was that he'd come to see me plenty of times now it was my turn. Forget the fact it was midnight in a grimy ass Brooklyn neighborhood. I don't care if you crossed mountains to get to a woman. She's a few blocks away from your home late at night and asks you to meet her so you can walk together, to your home so she can chill with you, get up off your lazy ass and do it! If that's too much and you'd rather go in tit for tat mode then she has every right to tell you to fuck off and you should take that sentiment like a man.

Some of the details with the bums I've met this year is just downright embarrassing, so much that I don't even want to mention anymore. But my point is why do you all think you're even worth it? You want to put in no effort but you want to get laid? Particularly when you know you have a chic at home. Some of you dudes act like a woman even being able to tell someone she slept with you is honorable. Like you a balla, someone of some real status, someone that can uplift her in anyway.

At the least if half of you even had conversational skills past the 8th grade you'd be saying something. Men, you know who you are that likes to play without effort, ask yourself these questions the next time you try to get over on a girl with at least half a brain in her head. What makes me worth her dealing with me knowing that I have a girl? Can I even or would I even pick her up from the supermarket if she asked? If she needed $5 would or could I give it to her? Do I have education on any level past high school? Do I have my own place? If I do have my own place do I have anything bigger than a twin bed in my bedroom? Do I watch any television show, and I do mean any television show past what's on the BET network? What makes me so good? Do I even know how to lay down the pipe right or even have a undisputed cunnilingus game?

Would I, can I even pay for her lunch at McDonald's? Really what makes you so special? And ladies we need to make these queries or observations on some of these men that we engage ourselves with. If the gentlemen reading can't answer any of these questions with a positive response without trying to throw the questions back on us like we don't know the rules of the game, then you're probably a loser who needs some adjusting. I promise you if you can treat a woman like she's a lady (even if your main goal is to hit it and quit it) good lord you'd see how your phone won't stop ringing.

In '07 I have engaged way too many of these clowns and although a high percent of the men I met were not worth even five seconds of my time, I gotta smile and charge it to the game. I met some good ones, even some single ones but I swear if men listened to more pleasant music and watched more pleasant movies they wouldn't be tempted to act like they're players killin' da game and understand that it's the little things that make us wet. The little things that make us want you and give you zero grief when you disappear for days at a time.

It's funny how men want women to put out before THEY put out but then want to break out because they feel she isn't worth it because she put out. It's a twisted mindset. It's funny how when women decide to wise up and not go for the bullshit like playing second fiddle we're considered miserable, used goods or a bitter woman. Ladies, though this site caters to the men. The good, the bad and the ugly of them, if you're reading this, there's nothing wrong with wanting more from someone you are dealing with, even if it's a purely a physical thing.

You're body is special no matter what they put into your heads. Your time is precious don't waste it with someone who doesn't feel you're not even worth the basic shit. My new years resolution is not to waste my time with anyone not worth my time. Don't cook even an egg sandwich for his ass if he can't even come see you. I met a guy, a boy trapped in the chronological age of a man, who in one week stood me up 4 times and still thought I should put in the effort to cook him a meal. Marvin was a joke and needless to say I didn't even bring him a cup of water.

Before this year it was a long time since I cooked for a man and that was during the summer and really done because I knew dude for so long. Someone text me a wonderful message last night, QUOTE FOR THE NEW YEAR: Never make a man a priority when he only makes you an option.
