    - doesn't recognize you without your weave


    I'd be guilty of this one if a man wore a weave or chopped his hair. Some of us have terrible facial recognition skills. I've had family members walk up to me and it took me a few seconds to register in my brain who they were.

    ROFL I totally agree with the facial recognicion skills but when would a guy wear a weave?!? :laugh: :laugh: :happy:

    Although I grant you I did compare religion to owning cats, which is quite the low blow... ;-)
    --P

    Actually I'd say it is. One guy I dated wouldn't give up his cat for me. Since I'm allergic, I'm supposed to STAY drugged up if we ever got married or whatever. Shoulda added that to my laundry list! Forgot about that one!!

    Yeah, that guy was a total kook. I completely agree with you.

    On the other hand, if you were allergic to dogs, well... I'm with him 100%. ;-)

    -he can't laugh at himself...
    -he has a porn addiction... (And an addiction is NOT the same as looking at porn on occassion.)

    ... wears bright red lipstick.

    What's wrong with bright red lipstick? I love my red lipstick.

    Me too...

    wait....

    <checks status>

    Maybe that's why I'm single??? LOL!

    I would think red lipstick would be a turn on. Hmmmm, maybe it gives the wrong signal. lol

    I love my red lipstick.... Maybe the girls he knows cant pull the color off......

    Most women can't, but nobody has told them different. I kinda see bright lipstick as a "don't kiss me" sign. It smears, and some women will actually not want to kiss after they've put it on.

    Ohhhhh. I can pull it off, I think. lol And of course, wear the long lasting kind so there is no smearing.

    Maybe it's because hang out in active crowds...? Or with moms who wanna kiss their kids w/o leaving a mark? Most ladies I know who like the bright lipstick wear the kind that doesn't smear (colorstay, lipstain, etc).


    Edited to add: I can't think of one instance I haven't wanted to kiss someone due to lipstick. That's why I carry it in my purse. For touch ups. Maybe not wanted to kiss him for other reasons (lol) but lipstick...?

    Not my page, and not my issue, so I'm not gonna tag him. But I went on his page to look for a specific photo he had posted of them two (she was really pretty in it) and I noticed they're all gone. But on her page, she's still gushing about him- including the great weekend trip they just took.

    The guy I'm seeing more than anyone else right now very quickly posts evidence of our outings, lol, and to me this is an good indicator of interest.

    sounds like he doesn't want someone to know about his "great" weekend... that, or he didn't have as good of a weekend as she did

    It's not just this weekend... the picture I was looking for was the one he posted when they first started dating. She had beautiful curly blonde hair and I was gonna make something with the pic. And trust me, I remember when he posted it (not her) because I, um..., liked him at the time and was kinda bummed when I saw it lol! He had a ton of pictures of both of them. Now they're all gone. They’re still “in a relationship” status though.

    You're right. He didn't have as good a weekend as she did!!!

    I totally understand removing photos of an ex.... but wouldn't it be appropriate to tell them first it's over?

    Interesting about the red lipstick. I'm a lipgloss girl or even just cherry chapstick but every now and then I do the rockabilly look with the cat liner and bright red lipstick. I think it's awesome!
    It takes a very confident woman to wear red lipstick.

    And on the contrary, I think it's soooooo sexy to see my lipstick smeared on my face and his face after a hot intense session of fun. :devil: Yum.

    I need a man! :sad:

    ...she tests poorly with your peer focus group.

    One of my favs from The Onion:
    http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-girlfriend-tests-poorly-with-peer-focus-group,194/
    New Girlfriend Tests Poorly With Peer Focus Group

    RALEIGH, NC–Preliminary data collected Monday from a focus group of friends indicates that new girlfriend Christine Carr is an unsuitable mate for Evan Lindblad.

    "I was really excited for everyone to meet Christine," said Lindblad, 25, a graduate student in clinical psychology at North Carolina State University. "I was sure everyone would like her. But now that the numbers are in, I guess I really dropped the ball on this one."

    After three weeks of dating, Lindblad held a small party at his home to introduce Carr to a random sampling of his closest friends, ages 22 to 27. Over the course of the evening, Lindblad presented the focus group with a variety of Carr-related queries, ranging from "What do you think of Christine?" to "Is she or isn't she everything I said?"

    Lindblad also silently observed focus-group members, making careful note of their spontaneous reactions to Carr.

    "At first, everyone was a little shy about speaking up," Lindblad said. "But sometime around 10:45 p.m., when a majority of the focus group was in the kitchen getting beer and Christine was in the other room, everyone really started voicing their opinions. I was right there with the clipboard, taking it all down."

    According to Lindblad, Carr scored highest with his five friends from college, with 60 percent of them saying that they "strongly agreed" or "somewhat agreed" with the statement that "Christine seems pretty nice." Carr also fared better with male constituents of the focus group, who were three times less likely to respond disparagingly to the question, "Did you see what she's wearing?"

    After tallying Carr's score in the areas of likability, originality, and believability, Lindblad found that his new girlfriend had garnered a meager 23 percent overall approval rating from the group.

    "It was clear that they simply were not enamored with Christine," Lindblad said. "I'm definitely pulling the brakes on bringing her to Eric Barrowman's Christmas party until I can fully assess this data."

    In addition to the low approval rating, 11 focus-group members reported feeling "disinterested" or "bored" when speaking to Carr. Further, while in the kitchen, members compiled a list of her negative qualities they would like to see addressed.

    "I did not respond well to that laugh," Lindblad friend and coworker Toni Evers said. "It was way too high. And I would've liked to have seen a little more knowledge about Evan's field of work."

    Carr even scored poorly in areas in which Lindblad expected her to fare well.

    "Christine is beautiful, no one can deny that. But feedback indicated that the group wanted to see someone with a 'more mature look,'" Lindblad said. "The midriff-baring shirt actually worked against her in there. Who would have guessed? Well, that's why we do these tests."

    By evening's end, a full 84 percent of Lindblad's friends said they agreed with the statement, "Evan can do a lot better."

    "I've been close with Evan for several years, and I respect him very much," Evers said. "But if he goes ahead with this relationship, my approval rating of him could drop significantly."

    Surprised by Carr's poor showing, Lindblad turned to best friend Jake Hadler for his take on the results. Hadler told Lindblad that his pre-party hyping of Carr, in which he described her as "really funny and incredibly smart," may have backfired.

    "I'd heard so many times from Evan how funny Christine was," Hadler said. "It was all, 'Christine said this,' and, 'Christine did that.' Well, at the party, I had a six-minute exchange with her to ascertain her wit quotient, and during that entire time, she didn't make one joke."

    Had expectations not been so high, Carr may have fared better, focus-group participants conceded.

    "After the huge build-up, we went in there expecting not merely to be pleased, but blown away," said Lindblad's coworker Glen Delk. "Had Lindblad simply billed Christine as 'great' or 'a really cool girl,' we'd have approached it differently. But he kept saying, 'This girl may be the one,' forcing us to evaluate her potential as a major love interest instead of a minor fling."

    Despite the negative reviews, Lindblad is not yet ready to end the relationship.

    "I'd hate to kill this so quickly after just one focus group," Lindblad said. "Maybe she can learn a little more about what I'm studying in school. And work on the laugh. That could get the numbers up."

    Sure, she might not be the "one", but there is something about dating trashy women. Okay, the majority smoke, you wouldn't want to live with them for fear of either having the place trashed because of some crazed ex or find out she owes money and have your stuff taken, but dating a trashy woman is like going on holiday to another country without paying for the airfares.
