Boy, Bye!: 6 Stupid Reasons to Turn a Man Down

February 7th, 2012 - By Veronica Wells

As women we have it somewhat easier than the guys when it comes to the delicate subtleties of the dating world. While we undoubtedly go through our fair share of drama, I can’t help but feel like men are put at a disadvantage from the start. I mean it has to take a lot of guts to approach a woman, a complete stranger, trying to convince her she should get to know you better. As someone who doesn’t take kindly to rejection, that’s not a job I’d want…at all. While we women must show discernment when deciding who we’ll dedicate our time to, we shouldn’t eliminate potential suitors for no good reason. Many of us, not all but enough of us, have such shallow, downright frivolous criterion for even engaging in conversation with a man, that it needs to be addressed. Are you one of these women? Well, do you subscribe to one of these schools of thought?

    I used to have the 6 foot rule. Then a guy who is 5’9 won my heart. Now I have the perfect husband. Glad I didn’t let his height stop me. I’m 5’5 so I can still wear heals and it’s a lot easier to kiss him.

    My husband of 27 yrs drove a LTD pine green in color when I meet him. My friends used to always ask me how could I be with him? Humm those same friends are still looking for Mr. Right. Loved him for him not his car, looks or clothes.

    Okaaaay the coupon thing is a bit awkward for me…  just sayin…  (coming from an avid couponer I may be being hypocritical, but I’d hesitate to use my coupons on a first date unless we were already good friends)

    I love seeing a man with the confidence and swag to pull off a great Groupon date. And to those of you who think a date costs 8 amount of dollars minimum, Groupon/LivingSocial/GiltCity doesn’t mean “cheap”, some of those can be pricey. Nothing hotter than a guy who can find a great deal on a budget! That’s long term stuff.

    Let’s face it, most African American woman are drawn to thugs, rappers and ball players.

      Well, since you want to generalize…. Let’s face it, most African American men ARE thugs, rappers and ball players (not necessarily paid/professional ones either).
