Anonymous asked you: Why don’t most men show their true feelings??

This question is sometimes comedy because I’ve seen it asked by women before and i happened to know the men they were involved with at the time too, so believe me when I say this:

  • The FEELING ALOT of the time is: I like her, I’m enjoying the sex, head, VIP treatment etc, and i wanna keep this on lockdown as long as I can <— THE END
  • There are no advanced feelings there BUT some women seem to think the man is holding them back when they were never there as he has been SHOWING you all along.
  • You MIGHT be a great person but you could just not be that mans TYPE that he can see himself being SERIOUS with. He may like something about your body, character or any random combo of things about you enough to LIKE you and not mind staying around(so in a way, since you have good qualities but are not fully his cup of tea, he has SETTLED for you). And once the physical activities start then DUH he wont want that to stop, especially if its GOOD.
  • So if you KEEP complaining or trying to FORCE him to express to you some type of feelings that he just DOESN’T feel then lies get produced to keep you content/shut you up. MAIN GOAL: “I dont wanna lose my source! Do and SAY what it takes to secure it”


EVERY man can/will hopefully find someone he feels is REALLY A GREAT MATCH for him(MUST be at the RIGHT time in his life as well) and he can show them his TRUE feelings with NO PROBLEM: Sometimes THAT woman just ain’t YOU! Stop leaving it to HIS WORD to give you an indication of what to do for yourself next, THE BEHAVIORS DON’T LIE. No matter how hard you are trying or how much you are putting up with….His Dream woman will NEVER be YOU in his eyes/heart, so you just gotta know when to GO.

Actually …….the MORE you put up with THINKING that makes you a “down ass chick” the guys are laughing to see that you are willing to put up with any damn thing they do and start to form the mentality that they KNOW you are NOT goin anywhere so…..the FOOLISHNESS WILL forever continue if women continue to treat 1 average man like he is the only man in the world who can make them happy(When in FACT….you are not even happy though….y’all just share a FEW happy times…..strange paradox). #MarkTheseWordsThough

GoodAfternoon: Very OFTEN I see people say they want to change, want to do something different, they’re Tired of ___, Bored with___, but if u track their progress; months or even years down the line….THEY’RE STILL DOING THE SAME THINGS, hanging with the SAME people, attracted to the SAME type of people, etc. The ULTIMATE question to ask OURSELVES is….”Do I REALLY want to change or do I just like the ‘IDEA’ of it? #CheckYourProgress

Personal Preferences….we all have them RIGHT? Its funny how most people laugh or AGREE with others when it comes to having personal preferences. HOWEVER….those same people don’t take it too well when they DISCOVER they are not included in your own personal preferences.Sorry….just accept it. Cant change anyone’s preferences to benefit YOU. In REALITY, we are all just ONE person in a sea of MILLIONS out there that are ready to be mingled with while being within those PREFERENCES…. #StopLivingInABubble

HER: “I have a high self esteem, i’m nobody’s fool & I don’t keep drama/BS in my life!”
ME: “Well why are U angry RIGHT NOW?
HER: “My ex been pissing me off, been acting funny ever since last month!”
ME: “Oh, been effecting ur mood ever since last month huh…i understand. The BEST advice i can tell U is that U need to RE-EVALUATE your original statement. You’ve proven ALL of ur claims to be false within 2 simple sentences, come on lady…..Esteem is not a CLAIM, its a MENTAL state” #MisRepresentation
There should be a new LEGAL title created: Single But Emotionally Attached to Another. Does that sound accurate? Like a disclaimer before talking to you. —> Surgeon General Warning: Dealing with this person may cause; waste of time, waste of shared emotions, waste of efforts and constant headaches.

There is NO OTHER PERSON responsible for your success, failures, mistakes, trials, tribulations, sadness, or happiness but YOURSELF. So all that BLAME that you have been placing on an EX, a Friend, family member, institution, baby’s father or baby’s mother….THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW so you can GROW. YOU specifically CHOSE to deal with them/it at one point so appreciate the old EXPERIENCE and move FORWARD. Nobody Feels Sorry For People With Excuses Who Choose not to Mature!

**A Side-note of what you may NOT want to hear: All that DRAMA, All those fools, all those ex’s, all those sources of trouble for your life and for ALL those who can change your mood….THOSE ARE JUST REFLECTIONS OF YOUR MENTALITY AT THAT TIME TO BE INVOLVED WITH PEOPLE/SITUATIONS LIKE THAT. You holding on to all that stuff? Your are still on the SAME LEVEL. #GetWellSoon

Sincerely,

EVERYONE.

The Three Different Types of Females

artfashionmusic:

There are only three types of females; Virtuous, Self-contained, and Basic. These break-downs are drawn from my personal opinions and observations, and do not pertain to girls. But more so young women.

VIRTUOUS: The “innocent” one. Prude and typically self-centered, she known as the good girl that plays it safe in life. She’s not the type to smoke, drink, or party heavily. She keeps a low profile and a clean reputation. She runs off her feelings; wearing her heart on her sleeve. She’s either in a long-term relationship, or jumping into relationships back to back…feeling the need to always be with someone. She aims to make deep emotional bonds with the men she dates, because she wants love…to be in love. She absolutely will not give it up unless a relationship has been established.

SELF-CONTAINED: Independent, classy, laid back and “tough as nails”. She is one can hold her own; you’ll never see her break. She is open to relationships, but will not search for one. Being in a relationship is not one of her priorities, she’d rather have her freedom with no strings attached while focusing on her aspirations. She won’t necessarily give it up on the first night, sometimes playing hard to get, but she is more likely to have a sex partner rather than a boyfriend. She will never chase a man or put her feelings into a temporary connection. If she is in a relationship, she will still hold on to her sense of independence. She is a free spirit that takes life as it comes. She knows what she wants, and how to get it on her own; not relying on anyone, let alone a man. Achieving her goals is the most important thing in her life, and she will never let a man jeopardize her success.

BASIC: Aware that she’s meager and unworthy, this type of female will try desperately to make herself appear as an ambitious woman. She yearns to be in a relationship to ‘prove’ that someone actually wants to be with her. She encounters the same problems with different men. Insecure and often promiscuous, she claims to “thinks like a man”, having 2, 3, or more sexual partners at once. But in reality she gets fucked and ducked, because she has nothing else to offer a guy. She heavily associates feelings with sex, because she is unworthy of the relationship. She will think a guy cares about her due to a sexual connection they may have. Thus she is always desperate for that guy, and will do whatever it takes to acquire that time with him. She’s the one a guy will hit up for some late night head or sex after the club, or studio. She falls for common “game”, on account her feeble mind. She’s one to make excuses for a man, allowing herself to be used and disrespected.

#NewSociety101 Marriage is becoming much less desired/upheld. Too much cohabitation w/ multiple babies being popped out & too little motivation for the “spiritual & legal” commitment. Less communication in relationships and more flirting being done on the side for “extra attention”. Lets be HONEST…. A LOT of people are SETTLING for LESS because they’re afraid to be SINGLE so rather have SOMEBODY there than NOBODY.

But then again… #KeepingItReal they say “dont settle for less, know your self worth” Fact of the matter is…..some people have LOW self worth so they go for what they know……Whackness!! No offense to anyone though, but you can INCREASE your self worth/esteem by learning, living and having an OPEN mind to all types of people

Dear Keem,

is it better to ignore men to get their attention?

Anonymous

-The More the Life you have, the more appealing you are to men! Men desire to be WANTED and lose interest when they feel NEEDED <— PERIOD.

I wouldn’t say IGNORE them, especially if you are interested but it is TRUE, the least you are available, the more interest most guys build for you. Imagine when we meet people we REALLY like, naturally we wanna see them often, hang out and talk often (in some cases every day, multiple times a day). The PROBLEM with this though, there will OFTEN be one person who feels a little more into the other person. Naturally this will give at LEAST one person some feeling of boredom whether they realize it or not. Especially if you are ALWAYS ready to bend to their schedule, always available to talk and always there to hang out. to alot of men, even if they WANT you to be there 24/7, they will start to feel LESS interested deep down inside. something about that CHASE (which is a significant amount of attraction for guys) is now GONE. And when the Chase is gone, things become less interesting, easy to get use to, and then the deadly pattern starts and appreciation may SINK as well.

So this is what i suggest that seems to work fairly well and be the best predictor for longevity and success: Find your own business, Prioritize your own business and KEEP your own business. What this means is, NEVER NEVER NEVER diss your friends and family because you are dating someone. If you make plans with your people, STICK WITH THEM. If you DONT make plans or hang out with your people because you are always waiting to see what that guy wants to do, then just STOP. Whether you are dating, infatuated, or MARRIED, each person still needs their own life, own friends and own business to take care of. 

And when you keep it simple, get back to balancing friend time, family time and boo time then it will all fall into place. Some times you can hang out,  sometimes you cant because you have other plans(there is no crime in saying this to ANYONE) and its healthy if you say this to EVERYONE at some point.

So in a nutshell, dont ignore much, just continue your life and remove the guy from the throne. If you are busy, dont break your neck to reply to that text or return that call, if you are hanging out,  dont break your neck to “check on him”,  in some cases if you are doing NOTHING —> deny an invite to hang out, let him know you have other plans or dont feel like hanging out or talking sometimes (Hey….it WORKS) lol

Being single while wearing this watch means that you are NOT really single at all. Your body is single(for your conscious sake) but your mind and/or heart has already been given to the OLD people so the NEW people you meet VIRTUALLY have about a 20% chance at &#8220;making an impact&#8221;.

Keem i been tryin to get my boyfriend to get married for a few years now, we have two kids and a house so why are men afraid of the last step?

Anonymous

Well…you answered your own question here ma’am. two kids, a house and a BOYFRIEND? Something doesn’t quite fit into that equation. WHY would he have ANY percentage of motivation to get married now? He has the kids, he has the house and he has you there acting like a WIFE when you are still just a girlfriend (not to sound harsh but its the truth). You may have gave one year too many of the “Wife Preview”. What are you looking forward to now? After the wedding you will just go back to “everyday life” if you got all that going on, nothing NEW, nothing EXCITING left there if you ask most men. I’m not saying that he does not Love you, i’m hinting that he may not be into you anymore, you are “just there”!…big difference. That’s like giving a college Freshman a free diploma, letting them work for years in their career then telling them “i’m sorry, you didn’t earn this degree, you have to go back to school and do it the right way” They would rather pick DIFFERENT major than to backtrack and do things the “right way” to earn the same thing they already had a sample of.
