I saw this and just couldnt help myself!! Apparently this is a real greeting card that Target pulled because it was “too soon”.

I’m not trying to jump on the Whitney Houston ‘ban wagon’ but I wonder what “genius” thought this one up!

Maybe some of you could help me with this:

Who would you send this card too?

Dudes with Cats

One word…

Run!

As fast as you possibly can. Unless you are a cat lady then….well… have fun!!

For those men that do have a cat or cats I hope you enjoy being single for the rest of your life.

I only make two exceptions when I meet men that have cats:

1. They must be extremely fat like obese

2. They must have a gimpy leg or be three legged.

Think I’m wrong. Think of any guy you know with a cat…..

Enough said

Jumped or dumped?

I think we may have all seen this one before but every time I see it I laugh! Poor guy!!

“I hope your day is going well.” “I hope you had a good/nice day!” To the untrained eyes, this may seem like a very sweet text, but I can almost guarantee it means you will never hear from him again. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, but if you think about these phrases a little bit more you might agree with me.

Ask yourself these questions:

Is he asking you anything?
What would be the appropriate response to this statement?
Is this the start of a conversation?

It has always been my experience that if guys want to know something about you, then they will ask. If they want to see you, they will make plans with you. And if they want to be with you, they will.

With that being said, if you have been with someone for more than a year and you get this text then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are dating someone, had sex with him and haven’t had “the talk” I give it two weeks, maybe a month before you stop hearing from him at all.

Take a look at these texts! I had been talking to this guy everyday for a month. Then when I wouldn’t have sex with him because he wouldn’t be monogamous with me I got this lovely text:

Note the date: I never heard from him again.

As soon as I got this text I knew exactly what was happening and I should have replied with a “you too” or “thanks” but I was feeling nice.

Don’t call me “Sweetie”

Is it just me, or does the very thought of this word make your skin crawl?

I was in a business meeting months ago with a woman that was about 15 to 20 years older than me. She was definitely Real Housewives material, besides the fact that she was selling ads for a local magazine. There was something about her that I hated. She was successful, well put together and very pretty. But that wasn’t why, especially since I am all about strong women. As we were leaving the meeting there it was ringing in my ear. She called me “sweetie”!! Ughhh!!

Now don’t get me wrong there are appropriate times to be called “sweetie” like from your dad, mother, grandmother or grandfather. There are also appropriate times to use the word “sweetie” like when talking to a toddler or referring to an animal.

When it comes to equal relationships or business relationships you should never be called “sweetie”. Call me a feminist but there is no equivalent to call a man. I find it incredibly demeaning and as if someone is taking pity on me. Gross!!

In my relationships I always want equality. I am not a sugar baby or a housewife. And let me just say this now, there is nothing wrong with being either of those things, it just doesn’t do it for me! If I want to be equal to a guy then why would I let him call me “sweetie”? If I want to be taken seriously at all why would I continue to let someone call me “sweetie”?

You might be asking yourself what to say when someone calls you sweetie. Well, check these texts out from someone I was dating:

Note: He seems offended. Also the blurred out word is not bitch! It’s my name. Which is what I prefer to be called. Later that night my date asked me about the whole sweetie thing. I explained that it makes me want to vomit and is very demeaning. I also asked him what I should call him back? He had no answer.

A couple days later I got this text:

You may think he was just trying to get in my pants. Wrong. We already had sex.

You might be one of those people, like my cousin, that has no problem being called “sweetie”. Great. Next time someone tries to call me “sweetie” I will point them in your direction.
