Riddle me this.....

Posted By: Tanganica Turner on June 24, 2005 Can someone explain to me how people (more specifically men) will tell other people ( more specifically women) one thing, but display actions that tell a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT story?!!! I am confused as to how people (more specifically men) find it so easy to manipulate situations to talior fit their own needs without regard to others' (more specifically women) needs, feelings, emotions or desires. Now I am not so narrow minded as to assume that all men are this way. In fact I am well aware of the fact that their are great men out there who do not partake in such evil and malicious things. This inquiry is directed toward those who do and toward the women who have insight that they can offer as well. Can someone please help me out?!

Because men are human just like U R, they display different actions, the same as a female would... just like a female can smile in another gurls face and talk crap behind her back.... dont just put blame on the guyz... women are way worse Friday, June 24th 2005 at 7:20PM |

Your gonna hafta get specific for me (Being that I'm a man and like to deal with facts over feelings). 'Cause there could be alot of reasons for a given action. For example let's say your Man/Boo/Special Friend or whateva that n*gga iz called says he's starting to really "REALLY" get feelings for you, but doesn't call and seems to be avoiding you. Now It could be that ol' boy has been a playa for a while and is not quite used to "catchin' feelin's". In that case give him some time to adjust- it's a big step for him and he wants to make sure he knows what he's getting into. Or he could have been f@#ked over royally by a previous chick and you've done something that reminds him of her. give him some time and a lil' space- he you but he also wants to make sure he won't get his heart slammed, stomped and field-goaled again. Or he could just be runnin' tech on ya to tear that ass up. In that case you have 2 options...(1) Don't give him **** and make him play himself, get what you can and then bounce or (2) Dodge the bullet entirely and move on wit'cha life. But the choice really depends on how much game you got. Since you wrote this blog in the first place you'd be better off with option 2. And like the young lady before me said n*ggaz iz only human..."All have sinned and fallen short......". Women are scandalous too- when has a man ever lied and said, "That's yo baby". Don't let negativeity cloud your judgement I've done way more than my fair share of wrong to women, but once I found a good woman I stopped all the bull**** and got "civilized". But she got so caught up in my past and her past that she threw it all away. Now she's bitter. Don't end up like her. Love is worth the risks taken to find it. Now if you're talking about a n*gga borrowing your car and not picking you up on time to see your Ob/Gyn then I can't help ya on that one...sh!t happens. Tuesday, June 28th 2005 at 3:19PM |

Men have a different perspective of the way things are. You and a guy might go on the same date, but his thoughts of the date may be the exact opposite of the way you saw it. It's a hard thing to explain. Hit me for the details.

Great You ask questions and see both sides but I feel ya in relating to the gender that You are. I can write all day on this, been superbusy, not that this means 2cents to You at this time in Your life. Just wanted to add my 2cents anyway. Try Jer 33:3,6 and Isa 40:28-31. Wish You the best Sis.
