Women are crazy!


I have heard time and time again from men that
"Women are crazy!"
CRAZY! CRAZY! CRAZY! What does that mean exactly?

Crazy defined by Google is:
  • brainsick: affected with madness or insanity; "She has gone mad!"

  • foolish; totally unsound; "a crazy scheme"; "half-baked ideas"; "a screwball proposal without a prayer of working"

  • marked by foolish or unreasoning fondness; "she was crazy about him"; "gaga over the rock group's new album"; "he was infatuated with her"

  • possessed by inordinate excitement; "the crowd went crazy"; "was crazy to try his new bicycle"

  • bizarre or fantastic; "had a crazy dream"; "wore a crazy hat"

  • intensely enthusiastic about or preoccupied with; "crazy about cars and racing"

  • someone deranged and possibly dangerous

I have been described as such on many occassions and may have even used it as a self descriptor. BUT I am saying! Who isnt or hasn't been or acted crazy to a certain degree? I want the word banned. The medical profession has banned it from their usage...instead they call them bi-polar-manic depressive-schrizophrenic (and no, I did not have to look up that word to spell it, humm?!)


To the next man that says Women are Crazy...ask....what did you do to make her that way?!
Did you say that you would call her back later?
Did you not take out the trash?
Did you leave the tiolet seat up again?
Did you borrow a large sum of money from her and not pay her back?
Did you lie about your whereabouts?
Did you sleep with her best friend?
There is even advice on "How to Drive a Women Crazy".
Can you believe there is advice on such a matter?!
As you can see there are varying reasons for driving a women mad. As well as, varying degrees of craziness...we have already discussed the clinically crazy. Then there are the milder forms, which are of course a response to something you have done, or did not do!
So since every female is "crazy" to a certain degree - you just have to figure out- what degree can you deal with - then find that level and that girl and live happily ever after...cuz MEN ARE CRAZY TOO!

Dating Tips



I have a few tips I live by:

First are the WARNING SIGNS - think only once about NOT pursuing this person
  • Your potential date refuses to speak to you on the phone after you have established an online relationship.

  • She or he will only speak on a strangely specific time frame. They only talk between noon and 1PM
  • She or he will not answer any direct questions about themselves. They will either give you a vague answer or will simply turn the question back to you.

  • She or he will only provide photos of large groups of people, making it impossible for you to find them.

  • They give inconsistent information. One day they are 20 and the next they are 32.

  • The most important one is - NEVER GO AGAINST YOUR GUT

BEST PLACES/TIMES TO MEET

  • Daylight is always the best

  • Meet for something simple (coffee/tea/icecream or bookstore) this way if you potentially like your date, you can invite them to continue the date at lunch. BUT if you don’t- you had a nice cup of java and can end the date there.

  • I personally like meeting over activities (bowling, miniature golf) that way you at least enjoy the activity even if your don’t enjoy the person. Some would advice against this because you may not be able to gage the person correctly.

  • And remember NEVER go against you gut. If something does not feel right leave. Who cares if you are wrong…its better to be safe than sorry.

CREATING AN ONLINE PROFILE

  • Be Honest in Your Profile (body type and age)

  • Use Quality Photos- DON’T post four different photos from four different stages in your life. It MUST BE CURRENT!!! They going to find out what you look like when you meet, and there is no reason to lie about your looks.

  • Put a Limit on How Much Time You Spend Daily on the Site.
  • Don’t list your dislikes about Internet dating. Emphasize your positive points, not your negative ones.
  • Take it Slow.
  • Don’t be so self-absorbed; saying, “I want a man to be this and that” “I want a man to do that” or “I want a women to cherish me”
  • Don’t list all your “I wants” without listing what YOU will bring to the relationship.

  • Don’t list your financial desires. Nobody wants to take care of another grown person.
  • No baby talk! or baby momma/daddy drama talk
  • A Final Thought: Be Cautious
