hot sex on a platter.

When you enter a relationship, you don’t often think or see beyond the physical being. We’re attracted to the body, face or personality. We probably like what the person do, say, handle or feel about a situation. In most shallow moments, some may be attracted to their lifestyle, popularity, material things and/or income. We enjoy their conversation, we’re engulfed by their kiss and we’re even amused by their humor. We may even experience a pull from within that we can’t actually explain so we find ourselves sharing our bodies with them as if “the time was right“. You’re supposed to protect, nurture & handle your person with care. You can’t treat sex as if it’s a casual thing to do with someone that you want to build with. I’m sickened with the fact that sex is taken so lightly now. With STDs/HIV growing, people dying, unwanted pregnancies and all of these life threatening diseases caused by sexual intercourse going around, one should think twice before they hand over their body to someone due to lack of sexual control. Ever thought about wanting more for yourself other than 15 minutes of casual dick rammed up your ass? Demand more self-respect and you will get it in return. I’m sure with the way you present yourself, men should not believe that you are to be used for sex or anything sexually related. So why is it that most of the men we encounter is trying to have sex before anything else? Then they have this fucked up perception that if they spend a certain amount of money, sex should be granted to them. I will never know the answer to that other than maybe it’s a part of being immature. The attitude does not change by race, age nor lifestyle either. Older men are just as starved out for sex as younger men. The difference is, older men use that tired ass “We’re both grown” excuse. Please. People claim it’s harder (no pun intended) for men to restrain from trying to have sex with a beautiful woman laying next to them. Whatever @ that stereotype. Pure bullshit. We need to stop making excuses for men who lack respect for women. If a man tells me he doesn’t want me to put my finger in his ass until we’re in a commitment, I’m not gonna try to sneak my finger in between his ass crack every damn time we’re together. So if I say I am not ready to have sex with you, then build a bridge and get over it. Patience is virtue. If you’re unable to respect that, then I don’t need you in my life anyway. It’s as simple as that.

How often do we stop to consider the true depth of the person we’re attracted to? Plenty of men have been attracted to me in these ways and even considered starting a commitment with me but they never gotten the chance to learn & embrace the real me. They were just going by my blueprint. Not taking enough time to figure me out and dissect the path on how I got where I am today. We all have a past, present & future and not enough people show interest in that. Which is why so many of us are “stuck” in these empty relationships. Or possibly because they’re so desperate in finding love that they will accept whatever comes their way. You can stop looking, forcing and trying to make it happen. Especially in the wrong person. Love is not a struggle. It happens naturally. When you look in their eyes, you will know that they are the one. Even before the “love” presents itself. You make sacrifices, you compromise & you place yourself at levels that you couldn’t imagine doing with anyone else. A lot of people don’t value these things anymore. They see it as a “hassle” and actually frown upon settling down, growing a relationship and actually just being exclusive to one person. I refuse to give someone all of my time if I am not getting the same in return. You know what I say to men who believe that they can have sex after the first date? I say “Sure thing, but take me shopping first.” Because we all know men have the same hang ups about spending money on a woman, as we do about giving it up that easily. We like to wait to see if that man is worth giving our bodies to, just like he wants to wait to see if she’s worth him taking her shopping and etc.

I can’t only blame the men now. Because how are they getting away with these acts? Women are allowing them to. These women are trying to state what their standards are and when the man tells them they are only interested in one thing, they accept that. Or even worse, there are women out there who would broadcast that all they want is sex, and it doesn’t if the man is married/committed. It’s just a bad cycle revolving in more ways than one, which will be very hard to stop because it’s becoming more acceptable in today’s society. Insecurity and low self-esteem, of course, is to blame as well. I’m also not knocking people who have decided to maintain a sexual relationship with someone. Sometimes you are able to mutually agree that this is all you want, with no strings attached. It’s just so disheartening though that the older we get, more and more people are seeking that more than an actual monogamy.

look in the mirror.

There’s something I’ve been hearing a lot lately and I’m becoming a bit tired of it. Sometimes while I sit around and listen to women talk about what they want in a man, no excuse me..DEMAND what they want in a man, 90% of the time they don’t even have much to offer themselves. “My man better be making more than me, with a Master’s degree and he better be driving a Mercedes Benz“. I know you’ve heard it before. And I’m sure you notice the woman who’s saying that is working at Macy’s with her GED, trying to find her bus pass in her fake Gucci purse. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand having standards for your future mate and wanting them to have a little bit more than you. But if you’re not making efforts to heighten your life as well, I don’t think you have that right to demand so much from the opposite sex. Or turn them down with disgust just because he doesn’t meet your “standards”. If you want someone with a degree, then you need to have one yourself or at least in the making of getting one for yourself. Our lives and expectations of others shouldn’t be based on what they can do for us financially. Ultimately, I want my husband to have a degree also. However, I wouldn’t frown upon a man if he doesn’t. Who am I to judge? Being educated doesn’t always have to involve a college degree either. I know people with no college degree who have self-educated themselves by reading and doing their own research about the careers they’re in. It’s amazing when you realize being intellectual & successful may not have anything to do with the norm.

And this message this goes for both females and males. Because men do it too. I once had a man tell me his woman needs to have her own house and at least be in a managerial position before he gets himself involved with her, yet, he has an apartment and has been working for UPS for 10 years with no supervisory job title. How dare he? You should have heard him. He sounded so arrogant and condescending. I kindly reminded him where he is in his life because he obviously needs a wake-up call. How the hell can you demand for someone to have things that you don’t even have yourself? How would you feel if someone told you you’re not good enough for them? Because basically, that’s what we’re doing to each other, which is why it’s so hard for people to find successful relationships. A goal oriented, financially responsible, educated person sounds good enough for me. Who cares what kind of car he drives? What does that have to do with you? Who cares if she’s salary or hourly and makes $30,000? That’s none of your business. Okay so he graduated from a vocational school and not a college. He’s still certified in his career and HAVE a job. Being so self-absorbed will not get you where you want to be. Especially if you’re blind to your own “shortcomings” that you demand so much from others.

I had a friend once who used to always look for men in the most unstable way. When we went clubbing, she would “parking-lot pimp” by watching what kind of cars the men were coming out of. Then she wanted to sit by the bar for an hour just to see if a man will buy her drink. I used to tell her all the time that she’s conducting herself as if she’s a gold-digger (there’s really no softer way to put it) and she would say she’s just looking for “the best”. Oh so “the best” is defined by how much money you have, what kind of car you drive and if you’re buying a drink or not? I didn’t expect her to see where I was coming from because she was independent for only one year of her life due to coming from a family of success and then marrying an ex-NFL player. Our friendship was soon over after a few unfortunate events. I hate trying to educate someone who’s not willing to learn. If I’m telling you that your actions speak as a woman who will be perceived differently by people (especially men), you need to take heed to my words. If you’re always finding yourself trying to find or keep a man that’s lower than your expected standards, then you’re the one with the problem. Not him. If you’re always finding yourself with a man that exchanges money for emotions, then he perceives you as a gold-digger. He’s not trying to “buy your heart”. He’s going by what you presented to him. If you’re rocking revealing/skin tight clothing then a man is going to expect that you’re easy. And after all is said and done, you’re only going to pull something that will be very temporary.

I’m not asking to lower your standards, or to accept less than what you feel you deserve. But let’s be realistic here. Maybe I’m the only one stuck in this fantasy world where if it came down to the nitty gritty, I would choose emotions over money. Money doesn’t make a man. A degree doesn’t define a person’s character. Give people a chance for who they are and not what it may say on paper. You miss out on greater opportunities with that frame of mind.

i’m a fraud.

So…I was reading some of my old posts and I can see that last year must have been my toughest year for love. Or lack thereof. Now that I look back on things, I most certainly know that in each relationship I have been in, I was in them for the wrong reasons. And the one that I gave most of my love to, was the one to hurt me the most. I allowed him to derail my emotions on so many levels. Notice, I didn’t sit here and say “he did this” or “he did that”. All of the signs where there but I refuse to see them. All the hints where there but I refused to follow them. All my friends told me better but I refuse to believe them. It’s funny how when it comes down to love, no one can tell you what to do but yourself. Someone can drill “he ain’t shit girl!” in your head everyday, all day…but you’ll never see it for yourself and leave him until YOU find that strength to do it yourself. Upon moving on, at least I am able to see the light and know when and where things went wrong. Times where I thought I was in love when i really wasn’t. The post I’m referring to is titled “I’m A Fraud”.

Yes…you read that right. I’m a fraud. I’m one of those people who talk so much about love, but is unable to determine it on her own. The ones that I’ve told “I love you” to, I never really loved them. At least, not the way I ought to. I was more in love with the fact that they loved me. I was infatuated with the way they cared for me. I lusted for them during the first month. But as time goes on, I started to lose that attraction. Then my patience starts to wear thin. By this time, I’ve gotten so used to being with this individual, I end up settling. Without even knowing that I have. Then that’s when it happens. Doubts. Doubts can break any bond you have with an individual. Do I really know this person? Is he really the one for me? Random thoughts start to surface my mind. Thoughts of who I wish he was more like. Thoughts of the good times I used to have with other men. Thoughts of the man that I believe to be, my ideal mate. Why I always find myself back in his arms? I don’t ever like to go backwards with relationships, but he always seem to be the exception in that rule. Like, no matter what we go through, we always end up back together. Like nothing ever happened. Is that what love is?…or is it something else? Is that healthy?…or is that self-destruction? Questions, questions, questions…that never seem to get answered…

I love you, but I’m not in love with you. I don’t think I ever was. You know who you are. And it’s more than one of you. I battle myself from time to time and try to figure out why I am like this. I’m quite sure I have broken many hearts due to my own selfishness & confusion on what love, for me, is. And I apologize for that. The biggest hint that lets me know that I don’t really love the person I am with is this: when they threaten to leave, I don’t object to them doing so. I’ll sit right on down, and watch them go. Do I cry? Nope. Does that make me an emotionless bitch? Nope. Just means that I didn’t care enough. I did, however, recall one time in my life where I did ask a man not to go. I actually fought for him not to leave. And he never left. The same man who holds that mysterious power over me. And you know what, I hold that same power over him. But why do we find ourselves apart every so often? Is that sign that we should leave each alone? Perhaps. So, if that’s the case, why do we always find each other again?

Right now in my life, I am overjoyed. My career, my financial status and my loved ones are kicking ass. I am definitely happy. But obviously…I am confused beyond natural belief. Confused as to why I feel this way and confused as to why I made the decisions that I have made this year. I have no clue what to do and it’s scaring me. Usually I’ll have a solution straight off the back when I’m presented with an ultimatum. But what do you do when the pros & cons weighs out pretty much the same in either commitment? The worst thing I can do is nothing. I want to do the right thing for me. I believe the decisions that I’ve made in the past week were the best for me right now. I swear decisions have so much power. They usually take me to the exact place I need to be, exactly when I need to get there. Maybe I should take some chances. Take some risks. Follow my heart. Since time and opportunity wait for no one, my life will not stand still until I figure out what to do. I’ve gotten so used to the way my life is, and how I handle “love”….I’m afraid to fall into it again.

I hope I’m doing the right thing…

Wow. Can you say “caught up”? I’m so glad I was able to experience those feelings because if not, I wouldn’t be so clear in what I want in a man, a relationship and love. I have such a strong embrace on love now, I take no shorts. Which is where I want to be. I feel sorry for those women that accept less than what they deserve or downplay the actions of a man. Fronting as if that’s what they want or that “it’s okay”. No it’s never okay to be treated less than what you’re worth. It’s never okay to remain somewhere when you’re not 100% happy. Even if it’s just a “sex” thing. Why give someone a coupon on your self-respect? If you allow to receive 50% of what you want, you’re giving people the legal right to only give you 50% of themselves. The neverending story you tell others as if things are how you want them to be are just a front. And you’re are only kidding yourself with those fraudelent storytales. Or maybe you’re trying to convince yourself. No matter what the circumstances are, we as women deserve to be treated how we represent ourselves. Unless you want to find yourself in a dead end relationship wth no real commitment to love.

It’s time to reflect on where you are and if that person deserves to be there with you. Love isn’t confusing. Lying to yourself is.
