We women know we can be a little emotional, and we can see how that can make it hard for men to discern the truly crazy ones that will engage them in a Fatal Attraction situation from those of us who are just displaying typical female behavior. But you need to know, because filing for a restraining order is a motha. Here are the signs.

I love to dance, I’m sure it’s good for the soul. So you would think that I’m always up in somebody’s club trying to shake something. Not so. I might venture out there every once in a while; but the dark underworld that is an American nightclub can often be a scary, borderline dangerous place to be. We here at Madame Noire were wondering if some of our Facebook followers had experienced some of this same type of foolishness we had. So we just asked. Check out some of the more outrageous answers we got from this question.

Slanderous Stacey: I was dancing by myself and a guy that was already dancing with a girl came to dance w/ me so she punched me in the face

Sweetheart/Misfit: some guy telling me stop acting like a white girl, mind you he was being like a stalker and too touchy feely like he knew me

T.:  I saw a man with all white tuxedo w/matching gators, and I was offended, lol.

Teresa: This one older man promised to buy me a house if I danced w/ him. But I declined lol

Paige: A dude slid me his number without my permission & then asks me not to say anything bc his girl is across the room…#canusaylame

Malika: I didnt eat b4 i went out, took a sip of baileys irish cream and henny mixed, swallowed and turned to the dance floor only to throw up on a girl that was dancing with a guy i used to date!!!!!!!!!

Rhonda: True story. Somebody bumped into me at a club in Las Vegas, I felt something wet hit my shoes. Thought someone spilled their drink on my feet, I looked down, some chick is squatting and urinating on the club floor. Should’ve kicked her in the face but I was already PO’d.

Jakozy: No lie.. this Guy seriously touched my vajay, I think I almost ended his life tho… disrespectful heathen.

Te’Michelle: This fool CAME ON HIMSELF while we were dancing!
Pants was all hot and sticky, I hollered, “WTF?!?!”

I truly empathize with the plight of the “crazy” woman. You know the Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction type of women. (I still haven’t seen that movie by the way.) I empathize with these types because while their actions are inexcusable, morally unsound and often illegal, it’s not hard for me to see how they could get there. By now you’re probably thinking, “Yup, she’s one of those crazies.” But I’m not. 1.Because I believe it’s best not to fight for a man who clearly doesn’t want me and 2.Because I’ve never been in a situation where my expectations for a person were so lofty that when they failed to reach them I lost my sanity. But again, I can see how women get there. I know women who’ve gotten there. Truth is, many of us women-folk can be so wrapped up in our emotions we honestly lose sight of our logic. And we don’t have to be crazy in the Fatal Attraction sense to experience this. Don’t believe me? Check out these typical behaviors and thoughts women  share that men might deem a little… off.

As a whole, the black community has a great sense of humor. When you’ve been through as much shyte as black people have been through, a good sense of humor is almost essential. Without it, you just might lose your mind. But there’s a limit to everything. Some “jokes” are too close to home to be funny. These aren’t hard fast rules, but when it comes to black women and these areas, you might want to tread lightly or completely avoid them altogether.

There’s a thin line between passion and crazy. But you’re not crazy, right? Just passionate. Passionate about your catch of a partner. This slide show is for those who are super psychotic passionate about their significant other, but may be at risk of having a criminal record. We hate to use the word “crazy,” but at a certain point your sanity may be questioned.
