To all the people (mostly guys) who think it's a great opening line to ask me why im not married:
That SHIT STINKS!!! Be orginal.. and even if it's your first thought. Make it your last! It's never appropriate to ask a woman her age, her weight or why she's NOT married! Especially not when you first meet her.. That can ensure.. you don't ever meet HER!
But if you must know.. I will tell you.. and once you read this pass this on to your wack ass friends who are either wondering , are about to ask me, or are about to ask you.. just like i know you compare freak notes.. you can pass this on too!
and once you read this.. depending on my mood when you met me.. you can choose the one that best applies..
Why I "ain't" married .....
1) I'm jaded..I once dated a guy i thought i could marry.. who told me i was the best thing since sliced wheat bread.. the best fuck since fucking was invented and the most understanding woman a musician could have.. and he left me.. for another woman and with a bullshit excuse.. (something about not being able to afford me even though.. I never asked for SHIT)
2) I don't have time. (take that as you will) working full time and going to school part time only leaves time for evenings and weekends.. and as quiet as you think it's kept... Negroes are needy people..
3)I dont want to make time. - if there is ever a time to be selfish it's when you have no kids and no husband.. please excuse my assholyness..
4)I haven't met "him" yet.
5)im sowing my wild oats
6)im waiting
7)im tired of my selection
8) im emotionally unavailable.. ;)
9)men don't really like independent creative women
10)i don't know how to let someone take care of me
i've run out of good answers...
just let it be known.. it's annoying... :)

Ouch! sweet sista. I think you covered all of your bases. Now remember Jam, if all else fails, get into a 2-point stance. Plant that back foot for good leaping leverage while bending the front knee forward beneath you, look the fool in the eye, count to 3 and lunge at his jugular. It gets them everytime luv! (smile) Hey, you have a great Thanksgiving! Missed your postings too. Welcome back!
i was going to put i'm gay.. but that doesn't work.. besides. it's not true. ;)
sorry for neglecting you on the posts... i'll make it up to you.. one day, one post at a time :)
Happy Turkey DAY! !! :) jw
practicing my stance RIGHT NOW! :)
NOOOO! Whatever you do, don't ever tell a brotha that you're gay, especially since you're not. That's nothing more than a challenge to them to get you to become str8! :)
it'd be interesting to see how hard they try to get me where i already am lol :) bad.. leo child.. just bad :)

ah.. Will thank you :)
and i forgot all about the evil i. I think i will try silence at the next family gathering.. just get the hell up and walk the hell away.. my uncle constantly asks me who the lucky man is.. i say.. when i meet him you'll be properly introduced.. until then.. please stop asking! it makes us single folk dred the holidays and family gatherings..lol.
Jam, I actually think they have a club where the dumbest of them sit around and try to come up with catch phrases and introductory questions only to find out it gets them nowhere. How else can you explain why there's so many men who use the same weak line at the same time?
" Where's your man," and," How come you aren't married?" have been the most popular one. But how about this," Sooooo how many kids do you have?" (Not do you have any, but how many do you have?) Sadly enough I wonder whether or not they'd ask this question if I weren't an African-American woman. I can't see them walking up to a white girl and asking that particular question. But I digress.....
Every time a hear that " why aren't you married" question, I tell them it's because I haven't picked one yet. Or, if his attitude is completely obnoxious than my answer is," because I keep running into insensitive asses like you."
That always draws a priceless silence! :-)
Great post Jam!
