Ultra hot topic: Dating 107

This male friend of mine, along with one of his male friend, my girl Grace and I had this heated debate about relationships between Caribbean girls and American guys, vice versa. One of the guys stated that Caribbean girls
o are anti-social in his opinion, that they wouldn’t give American guys the time of day,
o refuse to dance with American guys at parties, just Caribbean guys
o look down on African girls on campus
o Would NEVER date an African guy


He further went on to state that Caribbean guys are very defensive when it comes to Caribbean girls dating anyone besides Caribbean guys.

Speaking from an honest and neutral standpoint, Caribbean girls are somewhat turned off by the typical American’s guy approach (hey you come here). Caribbean or not, women love to be treated with respect and I just don’t think that this line or any line similar to that will cut it…..I don’t even know how it works sometimes, oh well, we’re all different.

Okay, I’ve witnessed this first hand………..they really do turn down the guys when they ask to dance cause half of the time (okay am being modest), ninety five percent of the time, the guy just seems unable to dance so the girl just refuses to give him the time of day…listen here girls, the guys are really impressed, maybe you should teach them a thing or two.

The part about looking down on African girls on campus, yes sadly,(sigh). I won’t delve into this one but I have seen ridiculing taking place….

Lastly, I don’t care if you’re Caribbean,American,Russian,Nepalese,African, love is love and it comes in all colours…………who you fall in love with is inevitable……4 out of 5 Caribbean girls that I asked if they would date an African guy said yes. I think that many of us have this misconstrued perception about African people.

As for the last issue about Caribbean guys being overprotective, I’ve never experienced such, any takers????

Who vex lose, furthermore you're only gonna hurt your muscles, so smile :)

Women’s Intuition


Do you ever wonder how sometimes you just feel that he’s cheating or up to no good? So you let it slide; say maybe it’s you (OCD…lol) or it’s nothing or MAYBE, JUST MAYBE you take out that magnifying glass of yours, trace his steps and neatly stitch the pieces together (Magnum P.I)? He wonders how you do it…..
Have you ever wondered how your emotions just change and alert you that something is up? You know to stop what you’re doing and respond..*…
I know that many of you may have stopped with amazement (like :-O) How did that happen? Don’t go thinking that you’re psychic or anything…I just think it’s a woman’s sixth sense….”her intuition”.
It’s like the little radar that sort of redirects our focus, makes us seem so multitalented at times and leaves even us perplexed at times…
Sometimes you just know something is wrong, even though you may have no clue as to what it is.
Men have it too, but women have it more frequently and nooo, not because they’re paranoid or anything….it’s connected to her motherly instincts as well.

What about you? What experiences have you had that freaked you out?
Anything might happen today. Anything is possible.
You are always at the beginning
You always have options

Friendships That Go Bad

So she's a two-timing, back-stabbing, manipulating, lying wretch right? And you hate her guts? Wish you never met her?

You can't seem to understand why she would say those things about you, after all, you did nothing to her...so where is this coming from?


Alot of women, jumpy to envy.....which is understandable since you can't see any other logical explanation. However, many fail to realise that they may have indeed been the source of this malice....maybe it's something you did or said [you may have not noticed] or perhaps she's just being cold and heartless.

Somtimes it's just time to let go.....accept that

Oh yea!!.....stop the bashing!! If the friendship is over and you don't wanna be friends with her anymore....


Stop the propaganda.........stop gossipping about her and worst of all, stop sugar coating it in favour of your character.


Keep in mind that you guys were once friends and just because she's doing it doesn't mean that you have to.....be the bigger person. Forgive and respect each other's space.

I dont need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. Plutarch

This week i'm celebrating one of my best friends.....Grace Joseph.....Happy Birthday Sweetie!!

Men vs Women: The general factor and the ideal one

I asked some young men and women about their general views of the opposite sex including their ideal mate in five words. The persons interviewed were in the age range of 18-28. For the purpose of confidentiality, no names shall be mentioned.


This is what the guys had to say about the ladies


G-generally, I-ideal

Guy #1: G-attractive, traitorous, seductive,emotional,deceitful

I-free spirited, genuine, forgiving, beautiful, something that should be there but you can't tell what is it.


Guy#2: G-caring, charming, complicated, kind hearted, bold

I-caring, beautiful, simple, kind hearted, intelligent


Guy#3: G-manipulative, persistent, convincing, emotional, strong hearted

I-respectable, supportive, honest, romantic, sexy


Guy#4: G-fragile, gullible, emotional, arrogant, secretive

I-adventurous, smart, down to earth, sweet +sexy, beautiful


Guy #5: G-complicated, insecure, loving, intelligent, conceited
I-honest, beautiful, loving, respectful, friendly


Well....looks like the guys had quite some to say....and the ladies?


Girl #1: G-stupidd, backstabbing, immoral, promiscuous, predictable

I-generous, attractive, trustworthy, a charmer, smart


Girl#2: G-assholes, impulsive, flaky, deceitful, big headed

I-ambitious, creative, funny, sexy, good natured


Girl#3: G-Egotistical, adventurous, moody, envious, wild

I-caring, adventurous, funny, handsome, smell gud like a mdfkr


Girl#4: G-Egotistical, honest-most of the time, daring, assertive, aggressive

I-honest, trustworthy, bold, handsome, well groomed

Girl#5: G-unpredictable, bold, daring, irresponsible, weak opponent

I-patient, ambitious, cute, understanding, supportive


I could describe men as being lying-cheating dogs, who are sex crazed, controlling, manipulative and self absorbed but in all fairness and being unbiased they deserve bold, risk-taking, reassuring and assertive, challenging and simple :).

It was very effortless for each person to describe his or her ideal significant other but a little more challenging to classify the opposite sex in just five words...which is fair.

We encounter situations everyday that shape our lives and especially our principles. The five words that were selected can tell so much about a person and yet so little. It's easy to identify what's missing when we meet someone even what's wrong but somehow it always seems harder to embrace what good qualities the person has.

We may not understand each other and brag that the world would definitely be better without the presence of the opposite sex but we know for a fact that life would be quite a cliche.

So men are simple and women are complicated but ......if both men and women were simple, life would be like your favourite candy but without the exceptional taste and if men and women were both complicated, life would be like your favourite candy with so many different flavours that couldn't combine well and therefore it wouldn't be your favourite anymore.

So call up your loved one and give him or her five things or more that you find ideal about him or her even if he or she doesn't fit your ideal profile.

As for me? My ideal guy? 5 words? hmmm......tremendously honest (but in a sensitive way), 100% supportive, sweet as hell- a charmer, a risk taker and smart ;).


What about you? which of my interviewees do you agree or disagree with? What is your input? What 5 words make up your ideal person? Hit me :P
