People make lots of assumptions about me and my life....
Apparently word on the street is that I am some jet-setting social butterfly with lots of options for male companionship. Now the social butterfly part is correct but the rest of it...
...not so much....Well I have options, I just choose not to exercise some of the options that I have available to me. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should...
One of the teachers at school and our security officer had a whole conversation (in front of me I might add) about the fact that I probably have a different date every night and that guys are ringing my phone off the hook. When I told them that is not the case, they both said "Yeah right."
Like *You ain't got to lie Craig! faces.*
The same teacher at school offered to set me up with one of his friends, but the only information that he had is what church the guy attends. He doesn't know where he works or what he does, he told me that the guy always has a pocketful of cash (a bad sign in my opinion) and then he remembered that the guy has been married three times. See how people give no damns about who they want to set me up with?
"Yall both breathing, why you being so picky?"
A guy from my gym sent me a message on Facebook and after a couple of exchanges said that I have an intimidating look about myself as if I'm already with someone and that guys probably save themselves from getting turned down by not approaching me. *Sidenote: WHO does that? Just says, awww forget it, she look like she got somebody, I ain't e'em gonna try it.*
He said that I have that look of a woman that a man has already snatched up and wifed already. That he took me as someone with a man.
I don't know how to look un-snatched up. Do I walk around doing "The Single Ladies" dance, waving my hand to and fro, hither and yon? Wear a shirt that says "Ain't nobody wifed me yet"?

Reiko said I should be posting outfit photos of my gym outfits since that's where guys
talk to me but that has not happened nearly as much as she lets on. But I
do have a pair of "lucky" gym pants that I wear some days, my
booty is looking riiiiggghhhhtttt in those....Maybe I'll just start wearing my gym clothes randomly
around town, I hear some women do that. No gym, just gym clothes.
I had a conversation with a friend, I
told her that I don't want to have any roadblocks to deter me from my destiny. I am constantly working on making myself a better me. I've tried to put past
hurts and disappointments behind me, I have forgiven (but not forgotten)
the lessons that I've learned and I am open to possibilities. So I leave it up to the universe. And pray that whoever (whomever?) is sent is exactly what is meant for me.
But can I just say that subject/verb agreement is very important to me? Really. It is. Ask around, my friends will tell you.
And I guess he shouldn't make assumptions. About who I am and what my life is like. That I am not a wifed up woman. And ask whatever it is that he wants to know.

agreement, you can completely transform your life." ~Miguel Angel Ruiz

I get the same thing all the time! Although I do have a fulfilling social life, I do not have dates tearing down my door. Recently in an effort to avoid a man's (Jamaican gentleman) advances I told him I was married (lies). He told told me I didn't look like a married woman. I looked like a Rude Girl! LOL Love the fresh spring colors. I've been inspired to pull out my green Chuck Taylor's.
such a great look , i love the green with the pop of yellow those chucks are too cute :)
I get the "you look like you got a man" look or "you look intimidating" comment... *kanyeshrug* I think when you don't look "thristy" and have purpose in your walk and in what you're doing, people figure you're getting your drink from a certain well LOL
Love this look!! Loved how you paired the yellow converse so cute!!

Cute sneakers :)
Loving your look. I have the same yellow converse...also I feel ya, I think guys were intimidated by me too for some reason. I met my husband of 11 years on the phone...go figure...because I hardly ever was approached by guys on the street. I guess you could look at it aS a compliment in a way, to me, you just look like you don't/won't take any bullish, therefore, the scrubs don't even waste their time. You are so beautiful, witty and well put together, it is just a matter of time before you meet someone worthy of your time. Keep the posts coming....

lol, apparently I give similar impression to people, including some friends of mine. I think when a guy says I look like I have a man or married, they basically mean I'm not competing for their attention or sending out flirty signs their way.
Anyway, love your summary look, those sunglasses rock.
Hi there, Jealous people judge and you are so beautiful (inside and out) that you don't need to worry with all that!
You're gorgeous and real and inspirational.
Keep up the great work and know when the time is right it will happen.
