Are You Too Good For These Men?

He doesn't look like a thug to me at all. I know thugs who wear suits. However, my men have to wear Timbs, tennis shoes, and athetlic gear on their off days. Save the slacks and suits for when they are at work or going to a casual dress venue.

Now if he ACTS like a thug, I wouldn't even kick it with him. Or if he has jacked up teeth (including diamond or gold teeth) because good teeth and overall hygiene are some of my requirements.

But based on his description, I'd "date" him. However "date" to me isn't anything serious. Whether I'd COMMIT to him would depend on his other qualities that weren't discussed and whether he's someone I'd care enough to mention to my mother.

I agree as well. I can't stand a Prep all the time. I need you to know how to get around the hood if needed My husband never was the preppy polished type nor the thug, he's rough around edges but passed the cucumber test.

Cucumber test, do you know the difference between a cucumber and a zuchinni (sp?)
Yall thought the cucmber test was something else

See, I can. I guess I'm just old school that way. I don't mind jeans and a Harvard sweatshirt on the weekend but the clothes need to fit and he better have some khaki shorts. Doc’s and Tim’s are OUT.

Just kidding, if my husband ever bought a pair of jeans to "fit", I seriously would not roll with him . I don't want him saggin but just a little room is very neccesary. We lve down South so Tims aren't a big deal but Jordans are.

WE ARE HERE!!! Sag is a bit much to me now, but PLEASE have some room in your pants...call me shallow or whatever, but I briefly dated a guy who wore his pants fitting and it drove me crazy!! That plus his all around "squareness" did that situation in...I need my man to be able to handle himself if something happens to pop off...but not be a thug either...I need a healthy balance...

Okay, because every blue moon I roll where the possibility of something popping off can occur!

Y'all are hilarious. Men's pants don't need to be too tight -- I definitely agree with that.

EXACTLY!

Ladies, I never thought I would marry a "Dr."--yes, he is a veterinarian. But I had promised myself NOT to marry a "Dr."--Ph.D., M.D., DDS or both. Ironically, I married a DVM. But we had a lot in common at the right time.

Timing is everything to a man.

My husband was tired of trying to figure what women wanted and he looked like a lighter complexion version of bachelor #1. Then, he had "craters" on his face due to ingrown hairs and poor shaving techniques...

YES, I cleaned that up about the time of our first 2nd wedding (search, I explain somewhere around here).

And search my other posts before 2003, I cried all kinna pink and green tears lamenting my lack of ever finding a mate.

So, I think the issue with these bachelor descriptions are fine including pictures and all. But, really, it does not give you the full flavor and excitement about "being" with that significant other.

Moreover, some ladies here need to know, all men come with idiocrasies. It is a matter of what is your "dealbreaker" and how much you are willing to tolerate and yes, settle.

Actually, let's change that settling word to collaboration--not compromise, but collaboration...

Very well said, Sistergreek AKA_Monet.
