In today's world, and heck probably before our time, people have a tendency to stretch the truth or just out right lie. Lies can start of small and work themselves into bigger and deeper ones. Now you all know how I feel about lying, no matter how small it is. I truly don't see the point in it. I've always tried to speak my mind and tell people how I feel, even if I know it will upset them. And yes, this goes for people I don't know either. When I meet someone, I don't feel it necessary to hold back, but I also don't find it necessary to lie or talk myself up into something I'm not. That brings us to the topic at hand.
Lately I've been dating and meeting new "men", and I've found they all have one common trait: they're all full of shit! Now don't get me wrong, before I get men attacking me for once again not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm not saying EVERY man lies or is full of it. However, in my experience, it just seems to go hand in hand with men. Lying comes as naturally as scratching their balls; it's in their genes. And you know what, it's actually not just my experience. I was hanging out with a friend recently and she told me a story of how she met a great guy and they started on that journey of "getting to know you." He talked about how he wanted to find a great girl and settle down. He told her all these great things, and it wasn't that she ate it up with a spoon, but she had no reason to believe he was lying. She didn't necessary fall for everything he was selling, but she felt she could at least relate & agree with him. They decided to go on a date, and when it was about to end, he suggested her going with him to meet his parents, that evening. She thought, it was a bit much too soon, so she declined. For about two weeks they continuing speaking & things seemed to be going well. But then, it began to dwindle to almost nothing. She decided to contact him one day and tell him she thought his communication was slipping. Suddenly the guy who was ready to settle down & find a great girl, told her that she needed someone who was more attentive and that the timing was off. Now most people reading this are probably thinking, "Well you can't believe everything people tell you." or "Well he was probably only looking for one thing, and told you all those things to try and get it." Except, friends, he didn't even get IT. And if it was for that, then don't you think he went about it the wrong way?! So then why all the bullshit in the beginning, to then just go MIA; what was the purpose?!
Now that brings me to the two instances that I have gone through. The first is a guy who I've always had a crush on. Smart, funny, great job and total player. I figured out long ago that he would probably just be a friends with benefits kind of "friend" and as much as I liked him, I thought, so be it. And while you all know I DON'T condone that kind of relationship, sometimes a girls "needs" need to be met; SORRY MOM, but come on, am I right ladies... *wait's for high fives*... Moving along. Now I told this guy that I understood that this was the nature of our relationship and I was completely okay with it. But he kept saying, "Well let's see where it goes." and, "You never know." and blah blah blah. He kept saying all these things, that I suppose he thought I wanted to hear. But I didn't. I was completely comfortable with what was going on and I made it quite clear I was. So again, why all the bullshit? We both know what this is, so who exactly are you trying to convince here? Or is that what you really want? And that's where more confusion comes in.
My second situation, and I'll keep this short, happened more recently. I met someone, who at first my gut said, "You should steer clear from of situation.", however none of the reasons I thought of were, he's going to try and sell you some story. We spoke for a short time, and it was actually a great conversation. During our talk he told me about what he was looking for, blah blah blah and how into me he was and that we should try to see where things could go and even mentioned going on a date soon. I decided to throw caution to the wind (and yes, I know you're thinking, "Hello, they signs were already there", but they weren't the signs you think.) I said okay, lets see where it could go. We spoke for a few days and then *POOF*, he mysteriously, and with no explanation, pulled a Houdini and vanished. It made completely no sense to me. You pursued me and said you wanted to go on a date; not the other way around. So of course I'm left saying, "Huh? What was the point of saying all that stuff?"
Now I've asked others, men and woman alike, why these guys would lie and feed us these bullshit fantasy lines. They say, simply because we believe it. I've been told that women should never buy into what men say and that we should always assume that men will always make things up, make themselves out to be these great people and will just basically be douchebags. So my question is, if I'm suppose to assume that everything that comes out of a man's mouth is pure garbage, then how am I suppose to ever get into and make a relationship work? How do people move into that next phase, if they're already going into the situation assuming the worse of the person? Now I'm not saying you should believe every single thing a person says, and of course you should be cautious. However, I just can't fathom being able to really get to know someone by playing these games and believing every person I meet is going to bullshit me; especially not at my age. See, those things were cute when we were in our early 20's, but at this point, you would think, even if someone didn't want a relationship, the could at least be honest and upfront and say what it is they do want. And if we are to accept the idea that everyone has an agenda and will lie to you, then what about the lines of, "You can't carry the baggage of what someone did to you before, into the future" or "You can't believe everyone is a liar." If I'm believing everything he says is a lie, isn't that exactly what I'm doing?
Dating is a confusing thing and if this is what the "game" is, then I'd like no part of it. No, thanks! So I'm thinking, ladies, that we just get ourselves a great vibrator, and that'll probably be our best bet for now. And no, that is NOT bitter. That simply means, we've gotta have some kind of fun until the men decide to wise up and be honest; no matter what that honesty entails. So lets grab a glass of wine, read our filthy 50 Shades of whatever and say, "Screw you relationships & your delusions of grandeur!" :)

Delusions of Grandeur
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Is it his twin?!
Once upon a time, there was a girl who waited a long time to become intimate with a boy she really really liked. She told herself she would wait until they were exclusive before hitting the sheets & showing her "wild side". However, one day, it was not the fact that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, that stopped them from gettin' their groove on. No, it was his twin that halted there expedition...or something like it.
Before I continue, I will say that no, there was not another person in the room. Get your mind out of the gutter people. This girl, is a lady.
So, on that day, the boy and girl began to passionately kiss, and both of them knew they could not wait any longer. They moved their heavy petting into the bedroom, where he proceeded to take off her shirt, and her, his. As he moved his hands down her back she felt such a joy just fill inside her and she was lit like a candle. As she began to return the favor, reaching from his shoulders, down to his hips, she stopped mid way down his torso. While he did not notice her reaction...because it was dark and no one could see anything... her eyes POPPED open. "What in the fucking world is this?", she thought to herself. "I can't see it, but it's huge. Is it a tumor? Why is it so big (it NOT being, well, IT)? This is disgusting? MY GOD WHAT IS THIS?!" She continued freaking out and her mood, obviously, changed, but she tried to carry on. But the more she tried to focus on the real task at hand, she just couldn't get it together. The girl just could not figure out what this thing was, that seemed to poke out of his waist like an uninvited guest. "My God, what if it's a piece of his twin that they cut off at birth? Baby Jesus, what the hell kinda Twilight Zone episode have I gotten myself into!"
Finally she put a halt to the situation, telling the boy that as much as she wanted to move forward, she must stick to her rules of only having sex while in committed relationship. The boy understood, and kissed her sweetly on the forehead. They then just laid there and he put her had over his stomach. By this time, the girl had calmed down and as she began to forget about the incident, she gently glided her hand down his waist and again there it was. Before upchucking her dinner, she decided, it would be best to end the night. As they made their way, looking for shirts and socks that had been thrown in a gust of passion, the boy turned on the light. He moved around quickly, all while the girl kept trying to search, without begin caught, to find what the fuck it was she felt on his body. He turned and gave her one of her socks, and as he did, there it was. What once felt like a baseball, a tumor, another freaking person, was right there in front of her, almost eye to eye. It was.... A MOLE!
Yes, just a little mole. But not unlike a review mirror, where objects can appear closer than they are, this mole appeared to be the size of the moon, in the dark. So I say to you blogger friends & readers - freakin' check the merchandise in the LIGHT, before you start making moves! Forget all this "in the dark stuff", or you may be in for a BIG surprise; even if it's just a little one.

The Experiment Continues...
*Special Note: I started writing this blog the weekend before Thanksgiving and deleted my dating profile shortly after.*
Ladies & Gentleman, I have moved forward in my experiment and added 1 photo to my dating profile. ::Enter Applause Here:: And Ladies & Gentleman, with that one photo, the initial 45 messages I had received on night 1, more than tripled on night 4! I know, how exciting right?! What a little eye candy can do for a guy; I mean just one picture! I already knew that as human's, we're driven by the flesh more than anything else. But hot damn I had tons of request, flirts, emails, etc. Naturally I looked through them to see what my cute little self could attract. I like to think of myself as a little tasty dish, so why not indulge in these fine mens' words of sweet nothings, even if I don't intend to stay on or write back. You never know, someone might catch my eye... Well my dear readers, if you ever wanted to feel like you're a hideous creature crawling out of some sewer in Hunts Point with boils on your face, a hump in your back and a limp in your step, this.will. do it. HOLY MOSES ON THE ARK!!! (I'm aware it was Noah! But that's how shocked I was; I forgot my religious studies.) If these are the only men attracted to me, it's gonna be me and the 3 digits for a very, very long time. I've said it before, I won't say I'm drop dead gorgeous, but I can't begin to imagine that that's all I can get. Maybe that's bitchy of me to say, and laugh if you want, but damnit, I was insulted! I swear it was like the weirdest, creepiest and most unattractive men had a meeting, said lets get on this site and only hit up this one girl. Men my grandfather's age. dad's age, Gollum and men who looked like serial killers were hitting me up. "Oh, she must be busy so lets send her seven messages, to ensure she gets this one!" That is what I got my friends and I couldn't even deal.
Now remember, this was only an experiment. I am not looking to date, and will be removing my profile by weeks end. (Profile has since been removed.)
So lets get a little deeper into the utter horror scene that was my request lists. Here are just a few examples of some choice names/words and images I found while exploring this dating site and the "suitors" that contacted me. If your online dating profile's name is anything like the below, you have photos like anything mentioned below, you're a creep like the men mentioned below, etc., you need to re-evaluate a lot of things in your dating life or rather, your entire life! Even if you're just looking for booty, these names/words will NOT help you with that fight, unless your quest involves statutory rape of a 15 year old Catholic School girl:
AmorCaliente - Yea, I'm thinking that means you have some kind of itchy STD that you should get taken care of pronto! No thanks.
Papi/Chulo - 1. Stop the nonsense; you're NOT hot. We ALL know you look like CULO! Especially when you take those photos that we basically only see your eyes or you're 1 of 4 men in the photo. 2. You're obviously not looking for a serious relationship, so that should be reflected in your profile.
MoMoney (or anything that has money or dollars in the name) - Chances are you have none, or if you do, you're a drug dealer or a pimp. While the money is great, I'm no longer a co-ed.
LatinLover - You have a small penis.
Gamer - You've been playing alone for a loooooooong time.
Attractive/Sexy - You're not.
Dark lighting where we only see your eyes - You'll most likely meet up with me, drug me and chop me up into little pieces while jacking off to my hair aka You're a CREEP!
Shirtless photos showing "the gun show" (I just threw up) - You used to be the fat kid with boobies that people pinched. No girl would talk to you and all the other guys in your class made fun of you. So now you're showing off your new found body in hopes that those girls will now find you sexy. You're like a child with a new toy you want no one to play with. GROW UP.
You send more than one message to the same girl & it says the same thing - You haven't had sex in years and will bang anything that lightly brushes your foot aka You're a CREEP!
Photos of you near cars and scantily clad women...okay, whores - You have a small penis and truly don't know anything about what interest real women.
You're writing to women who are clearly young enough to be your daughter, or granddaughter - You're in a midlife crisis and hoping young vag will help you out of it aka You're a CREEP!
So yes, these were (just a few) of the men, and I'm using that term LOOSELY, that I found trying to contact me on this particular site. I can't say that all sites are like this, or that even all men are like this; I know there are some good ones...there has to be. However, this has made me see clearer and understand why so many people are into the Friends With Benefits idea. If I could, I would probably go back on my word and start applying that rule in my own life.
In all seriousness, is that what dating has come to? Is that all that is to be expected? Eventually being single will run it's course and I'm going to want to date someone seriously. And if this is what is out there, I might just ignore that idea and stick to having dogs (I don't like cats.) Or maybe snakes. I could be like the crazy cat lady on The Simpsons, but be Crazy Snake lady, and throw snakes at people when they walk by my house. Yea, some how that sounds like a much better plan than dating any of these fools. I can say this for one thing, it was a very interesting and enlightening experiment.
Happy Blogging All!

If That's What's Left, I'm Screwed...
The other day I was talking with a few of my girlfriends about dating. Yes, dating, what a weird concept, I know. It seems nowadays dating isn't anything more than going out to the movies or dinner, and then being expected to give up the goods that night. I guess that makes a good relationship. Anyway, we questioned what happened to the days of wining and dining. And it's not like we're talking about fancy restaurants and expensive Broadway shows for a first date, but something that shows you're interesting in more than a roll in the hay. Now if that's what you're looking for, that's fine, to each his/her own. But I'm sure, or at least I'm hoping, that that is something that is discussed before hand. I know I'm looking for a real relationship, and I know the type of person I want it with and the type of person I don't. So why is it that even though a man will know you're looking for more than what they're offering, will they "pretend" that they want the same thing? I won't put the blame completely on the man, so relax gentleman. Because ladies we should know better too. However, if someone tells you (for example) "I want the blue car", why would you say "Sure the blue car is available" when in fact only car left on the light is some crappy white car one? I hope my analogy didn't throw anyone off; I'm trying to connect to the men and women here.
So I went on a dating website and set up a profile. If you know me, you know that I've done the online dating thing a few times. One of which I was engaged too, but that's a different story for a different day. So I'm sort of an old pro at these sites. Anyway, I set up the profile and wrote out what I'm looking for and not, and BAM about 45 men had either looked at the profile or written. When I tell you I was simply appalled by the responses, I'm downplaying my disgust. I had specifically said please do not contact me if you're over the age of 35. I had 50 year old men contacting me. I do not want to feel like I'm dating my uncle or my father, so that really creeps me out! I had also asked that if you have children, to be aware that I am really not fond of them, nor do I intend on having any. I had 5 fathers, who either didn't read the profile or didn't care, ask me out for this weekend! I shit you not. You know nothing about me, and you want to go on a date that quickly? And I had also mentioned how I'm big on Reality TV and Gossip, because I find it extremely funny and entertaining. One guy had actually written in his profile that he was looking for a girl not into pop culture. HELLO???? Are you even reading what women are writing? Or are you just that eager to either meet and/or bang a woman, that ya just don't give a rats ass. And I'd like to see it must be my stunning good looks that got them, but no. I didn't even put up a photo yet!
Oh and the photos, dear God, the photos!! One guy was doing the signature GIRL pose, where the lips are pursed out. And for some godforsaken reason he had lip gloss on!! His lips were soooo shiny, I was blinded, and yet a little drawn in. I wonder if he got that gloss at MAC. And then you have the guy who has 3 guys in the photo, so you're playing the guessing game on which one is the fella you're interested in. Or the guy who takes photos with sunglasses on. I think that one is self explanatory. There's also the guy who takes all his photos 40 ft away from the camera. Are you a ghost? I don't get it. And then finally, and I'd like to know why, many of the men had hats on. Now I have this thing with my girlfriends called, "Hat Syndrome." What is Hat Syndrome? Well it's when a guy looks really hot and sexy with a hat on. Something about him is a little dark and mysterious; he just looks good. And then he takes the hat off and it's like the boggie man from your childhood has just reemerged. He went from looking like Joe Manganiello to Steve Buscemi all with the removal of a hat. And while I don't want to say all relationships/dating/whatever is based solely on looks; cause lord knows it's NOT. You do have to have some type of attraction to the person, physically, for things to at least get off the ground. Don't you?
So I'm not beating up on men here, I'm sure women have their share of stupid things they say or do on dating sites. HOWEVER I am a woman, so I'm going to obviously come from a woman's point of view. So tell me is dating just a dying fad? Do people just jump into relationship and not get to know each other? Or are people just banging each other like rabbits, and okay with that? I once had a guy tell me he wouldn't settle down until maybe he was 40. My uncle also told me that he didn't realize what he wanted until he was 38. So is that what awaits women who are ready to be in relationships now? Date your "dad" or wait until the man of your dreams (or so to speak) is ready when your eggs are dried up and gone? What do you think my dear blog readers/friends?
Happy Blogging All!
P.S. For the "Anonymous" Blogger Gangster who wrote the "These blogs suck..." on my last blog, Thank you!!!!!! You my dear, are exactly why I will keep writing. :)

Curiosity Killed The...Relationship
There comes a time in a relationship where things get a little weird. He or she isn't returning your calls as quickly as they used to. They seem to be more distant and/or busy. Or they're staying at work really late. Or suddenly start mentioning new "friends" that you've never heard of. And that is when your mind starts to wander and you get blurred by all of the issues that, clearly you've developed in your head, seem to be arising in the relationship. So what do you do? You decide to become inspector gadget and start investigating into what the hell is going on. Or you're just a nosy person, and decide to snoop. You tell yourself that you trust them and it's just to ease your own worries. But lets be honest, there is doubt there, and not a lot (if any) trust. After speaking to a few of my friends, I realized I wasn't the only one guilty of having done this. I also wasn't the only one that said, "But I had great reason to". But you have to wonder, if you feel the need to become an investigator in your relationship, maybe the issue is bigger than what's lying on the surface.
For example, you find an email saved in your significant others drafts and notice that it was written to their ex right around the time you started dating. Thought it was never sent, you decide to read it and there are quite a few things in there that you're not comfortable with. Rather than ask them directly what's going on, you wait and start going through their phones, computer documents, car, receipts from KFC to make sure there's only 1 meal accounted for on it, etc. You drive yourself insane for weeks, instead of confronting the issue head on. When you finally do confront the situation, whether you have proof or not, you start to mention things that have absolutely nothing to do with what's going on. You start yelling at them for getting haircuts every 3 weeks. Or taking two showers a day, and ignore the fact that it's 100 degrees outside and your partner has a perfectly good reason to do so.
Another example, is that your significant other is constantly on their phone. Either talking, texting, emailing or just playing games because they've grown a disgusting addiction to "play words with friends". So now you get jealous because they're always on their phone. It seems like this phone is their partner, and not you. One day out of the blue you decide to go through it, and guess what, your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance/wife/husband is right behind you and catches you. You of course come up with some lie, such as, "it was ringing so I was going to turn it off" or "I was going to bring it to you." Contrary to what we would love to believe sometimes, our partners are not as dumb as we make them out to be. So now you've open up a can of worms because their upset you've gone through their phone. And you're upset because, what's the big deal if you've gone through their phone; what are they hiding? Then WW3 has stared and no one, not even the roaches, is safe from the drama that is about to ensue.
Now I could go on and on with different scenarios after the other. The big question in all of this, is do you snoop? If you do, what do you gain? Peace of mind? But if that's all you're after, why not ask the person you're in the relationship with, what the issue is, if there is an issue, and resolve it that way. Yes, that person may lie to you and tell you everything is peaches and rose petals. But if your gut instinct tells you something is wrong, then believe it. Because 9 times out of 10, your gut instinct is correct. And besides, if you don't trust or believe this person, why would you continue to have them in your life. No its not easy to give up on a relationship, especially if you've put a lot of time and effort into it. But does all the time and effort mean sacrificing your own happiness; your own sanity. I mean eventually, whether there is something to find or not, you will drive yourself nuts.
So if theirs an issue, confront it and move on. If you feel that something is amiss, then you need to talk it out or it's going to eat away at you and your relationship. Doing these side investigations, may help you feel better, but in the end, what is it really doing to you? It says more about you (and not in a good way), than it says about the person you're with. And even if you're right about whatever it is you find, what good does it do you; you're still left with questions and feeling hurt. Am I right or wrong? Please comment on this, especially the men out there (if any of the men read this), because we know that dudes get checked up on a lot more than us ladies do. :)

Know Your Level
You're hanging out at the club, drinking, dancing and just having an overall good time with the girls. Suddenly you get a tap on the shoulder. Could it be? That hottie you've been eyeing since you walked through the door has finally come over to talk to you. You take a deep breath, turn around, only to see this…
OK, I know that many of you may think that what I’m saying is cruel. However if you've read my previous blogs, you know that I have no shame. Now if you want to be politically correct and say that beauty is on the inside or that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that's fine. I may even agree. I saw Beauty & The Beast; I know how it ends. HOWEVER! and this is directed towards both men and women, KNOW. YOUR. LEVEL. I bring up this topic for two reasons: 1. Yesterday I was having a conversation with my boyfriend about past dating horror experiences. And of course I had about 20 over his two. The major difference here was that all of my horror stories where about men that I would never have been attracted and how they tried to get me to either dance or talk or tried to date me. I’ve had old men (I mean like in there 50’s old), ugly men, douchebag personality men, just all types of unattractive men come up to me, and they have been extremely aggressive. 2. My friend posted a blog about this yesterday (read here for his prospective: If You're Ugly & You Know It) and I figured it’s an epidemic that must be addressed!
Let’s face it, we all know that there are various levels of “The Hot” & the “Not So Hot”. And we should all be pretty aware of where we fall on the spectrum. If you don’t know, which unfortunately many don’t, ask a friend. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means drop dead gorgeous and I don’t act as if I am; I know I’m no Kim Kardashian. Would I approach a Leonardo Dicaprio or Cristiano Ronaldo? No. I would most likely be arrested for stalking. But besides that, men that look like them only date the “model type” and for the most part are assholes; you've been warned! The point I’m trying to build here is that I know what my level is and I know with whom I have a shot. I’ve gone out to dinner and clubs with friends and it always happens that the most unsightly guy in the bunch asks me to dance. Meanwhile his friends are all watching and laughing at how utterly repulsed I am and at the fact that their friend thinks he’s “got it like that”. You would think they would tell him that he should back off, but they don’t. Which then begs me to wonder if they actually believe he has a shot with me because crap, in their eyes, I am on his level. It’s a nightmare! While I think it’s great that some people have such high self esteem and confidence, it doesn’t mean that you should be going after the Adrianna Lima types of the world when you’re a part of the Flava Flav types of the world.
At this point many of you are saying, “But Latina Loquita (yes I imagine that’s what you call me) what about personality?” And I agree! What about personality? Sadly many of these creatures don’t have a personality to make up for their unfortunate looks. So many of the vultures that have approached me on occasion have not only been unattractive on the outside, but been even more disgusting on the inside. I’ve had guys who have tried to talk to me that I didn't necessarily feel like talking to. Me, trying to be a nice person, will normally just smile and walk away. But time and time again I'm yelled at and called a “Bitch” and asked "What's your problem? You too good?"..."Well, why yes sir I am." But come on, are you shitting me dude? I tell you, there is nothing worse than a guy who is ugly and thinks he’s hot shit and tries to act as if he’s God’s gift to all women. I have seen girls, who in my opinion have been pretty, go up to guys where I’m thinking OK, she’s got interesting taste, and it's him dismissing her. All I can think is really? You’re saying no to her when you look like feet. In the words of Stewie, “Who the hell do you think you are?” Dude if a girl like that comes up to you, you better grab on to her. Another poor quality is being unattractive on the inside and out and then claiming you have “a type.” If you’re type isn’t “Gremlin” then don’t say you have a type. I have a great example, but before I go into this story, I'd like you to take note that it's not about weight either. You can be tall and skinny and ugly. You can be short, fat and be cute. You can have a great muscular body and still be ugly. ETC. It's not all about body type. Anyway, I knew a guy in college who was not only fairly unattractive but was what we’ll call a large individual. We all went to a Spring event and this girl who was a little chunky and very pretty (the ladies decided) approached him. She started talking to him, asking him questions just trying to have a nice conversation and being really sweet. We’re all standing there watching him as he’s rolling his eyes and basically brushing her off. She must not have realized it or not cared, and still gave him her number. First of all, if you’re not interested, don’t lead someone on. Just say nice talking to you and keep it moving; don’t take the number. Anyway, as soon as she walked away he said, “Can you believe that fat beast wants to go out.” My jaw just dropped. I was in complete and utter shock. I had to ask him to repeat himself because there was no way that he was being serious. He then proceeded to tell us that she wasn’t his type. He liked slender girls with this and that and the third and meanwhile I’m thinking, “Hey Fat Bastard, have you looked in the mirror lately? How about hitting up the gym and a plastic surgeon and then you can talk about your “type”." Back then I was more of a quiet person, so I kept these thoughts to myself. But I remember being so enraged by this. How could he possibly not know his level, because his level was not at all on the level with the woman he described.
So maybe this isn't the topic you wanted to read. And maybe it’s not a view that you agree with. But it's something that I know many men and women out there have had to encounter, and just hasn’t had the balls to say it out loud or put it in writing. And while there are people that would be attracted to someone who’s “outside their level”, so to speak, chances are that in this arrogant, vain and materialistic world, that’s not the norm. So stop going after the steak, when you should really be trying the chicken.
