Back to the pond

I consider myself as a very open minded person, i always give a person the chance to say their piece. Then again there are a few special cases. My basic assumption is that before you walk up to me unleash your vibe you have thought it through or at least have an idea of what to say. Why then do you feel a pressing need telling me your financial worth while all i know is your name. Is that meant to help your chances with me? I know i look young and also that for some women that might work but come on cut me some slack. Is that it, thats all you have to offer? Oh sorry this must be the part where i get very impressed? Whatever happened to personality,wooing or just conversation about everything else apart from you. I must admit that there are still men in this town that you hang out with and at the end you are sad that the evening ended, then there are those that i wonder if it wouldn't have been better had i stayed and watched some lip-synced-Soap Opera. I am not saying that am the perfect date all am saying is that i try my best and you should too otherwise why then are we here.
Come to think of it my sis and i agree that by and large i attract very special men:-
MBAs(Married but Available): I have seen karma at work. These for me are out of bounds i just don't do married. No thanks, i don't need to be "taken care" of.
Older(read 33+)Single men looking to settle down who are in a rush to beat the deadline.
Foreigners, not that its a bad thing but lets be real you are here for a while there is no way to vouch that you don't have mamawatoto(3N 07)back home.
They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you get to prince charming, exactly how many is a few? In that line of thought forget prince charming and give me a man who can at least hold a conversation, well groomed, treats me with respect and we will work out the rest. Despite all i still have faith, there are a few good ones left.

  1. LOL! Ati a guy will just introduce himself as Hi I'm Tom and I'm worth 1.6M and a fully paid mortgage. I would be surprised if it works but it must cause some men are still trying that vibe.
    Good luck fishing.

  2. I shall not comment on the married men thing. Swiftly moving on to the frog:
    when you kiss a frog you NEVER get a prince you get slime. So really dont put up with that

  7. I am planning to wear a wedding band so that the first thought in a chile’s mind is ‘you are married’ and then I will be like ‘well, you see its not really married per say….its more like I am helping you protect me’ we are working together to make sure mamawototo remains the happy darling that she is.

    If that doesn’t work then its time to kneel down and pray.

    Of course I could be lying that I have a ‘mamawatoto’ as a cover so that am not one of those bloggers on the BT. You can never tell, bloggers lie a lot about their wives, I mean lives.

  8. know i know,true love takes precedence over chumz,Lachini
    who we kidding here?

    I always tell peeps money is NOT everything though more often than not , it is the ONLY thing.

    Once you got the color i.e u got a lot of paper with pictures of old white men on them , women never ever complain about you (unless they feel you have snobbed or 'tumiad' them). When u rolling in the money if u do crazy stuff it looks 'cute' , alas ! If u do the same stuff when ur broke they'll use expletive adjectives and adverbs with ur name in the same sentence to express their utter disgust , shock , awe and amazement

  11. I still marvel at the CV-date (where all you here is what he has, what he's achieved, but nothing about who he is)...as for the married men- there should be an online/accessible-by-SMS(excuse me, I just need to text my friend :) national registry of MBAs!
    A friend met a guy who was all that (at least for about 72 hrs) before he revealed the "me! I want to be a polygamist!" talk...I'm not a believer in the random meet/pick-up thing, an informal survey of friends seems to indicate that it's more hit than miss. At the worst, as long as you are not in physical danger- it's all an 'anthropological experience'...all the more fodder for you to feed us, your blo-dience...at best? I'm yet to meet a couple who met randomly

  12. um, hit post, then realized that I misspelled hear [shamefaced]...one of my pet peeves- bad spelling

  13. No more kissing frogs for me. I agree with you, sista. Prince Charming may be for the fairy tales. Give me a real man with all the qualities that I'm looking for. Then, we can ride off into the sunset. LOL.

    P.S. I guess he didn't realise that you already know that money can't buy love or happiness. If material wealth is all he has to offer, then he's truly poor.

  14. Ah! these oceans that separate us...

    ReplyDelete
  15. But sweetie didn't he realise that if you started telling him how much YOU are worth..si he'd have felt shame on me!!..don't they ever think of that?

    Prettylyf..i hear you!!

  16. eeeh si i thot MBA's were convinient for a rainy day?? who am i kidding? Dont worry a few good men are still out there....am grooming my young bro for you....he's 21...LOL

  17. LMAO @ fully paid mortgage talk of security. These lines still must work at least for some people. Thanks Kirima.

    HnH,Looks like that only happens in fairy tales so no more frogs for me.

    Prou,am sure it does would rather figure it out on my own rather than get the free preview.

    Pilato, lets assume the naked on lost his way unless he is aiming wrongly. That dames is astraigh shooter, no romance without finance.

    Klara,send one my way as soon as youspot him.

    Shiroh, am still tryin to ID exactly what is the factor for MBAs is there a look that says "Clande available" LOL

    3N, i got your back thats for sure. MBA's are hot since they are "potty-trained" (no offense). still will ensure all goes well si its only 3 weeks? LOL the lies,wives and tales ni blogworld.

    Kip, money is good but you flaunting your money to get a girl is a desperate move not very highly reccommended. Still you might get lucky.


    Thanks Bobby ;)

    Dames i feel you. Any man who can get me laughing has me. An still here got time LOL.

    Wambui,
    the spelling bit i understand suffe rhte same.random meetings that end in happly ever after hmm i am waiting. MBA registry then you search for him plus alias just to be sure LOL. Datig is fun though at leas the better part of it you meet all sorts of people.

    Jdawta, there must be more to a man than money for me. Real men with flaws and all we will find a way to work them out.Call me when you get yours.


    Kai, tell me about it LOL.

    Betty,no they dont think of that and am sure he is worth alot more than that money too if only he would show the other side of him.


    Bro Xs,one word, KARMA. Can i groom your brother for myself that way he laready knows what to do and when you know ;) Byt he way what happened to your young uncle huh!

  23. I'm not on the list of good men, but a key to getting your man LISTENING.

  24. My single girlfriends will tell you flat out that there are nothing but retards in Washington DC on the single scene. I like to believe that they just need to adjust their perspective. Nevertheless, I believe that you are correct to seek out respect in your relationship. Everything does eventually fall into place.

    Nice post.

  28. I guess with time, a worthy man will come along...but it is true about men who do nothing but talk about themselves...they should learn there is more to charming a woman than money..

  33. Babe, I will ask, "just where do these men find you?" there was the one who professed his undying love by e-mail or was it on face book, the one who listed his VERY GOOD QUALITIES, now here we have one who is about to show you his bank statement.

  35. You're so right dearie there ARE a few good ones left...we just hope we meet them soon enough!! nice page dearie

    ReplyDelete
  36. The trick to avoiding them is this...chat a lot on the phone with them [a whole lot] BEFORE deciding if you want to go out with them.

    That way you can suss 'em out to decide if they're date-worthy [note, I didn't say 'marriage worthy, that's a tough one] :-D

    The other plus with chatting on the phone...you can hang up if they're annoying [etc].
