In honor of the flick he is just not that into you and Valentines Day I wanted to share a website that I came across last year and visit quite often,Dontdatehimgirl.com. I know what many women may be thinking, a website that tells you not to date a man? Please, Let me make that decision on my own !

Allow me to explain myself, when my friend first told me of that website, I looked it, read a couple of posts on some men that I dated, dismissed what it said and walked right into a burning room. (and then I wonder why I get hurt?)   So  here I am a year later, going through the same shit kicking myself in the ass for not listening to another woman’s advice including my own about a guy that I was seeing off and on for the past year .(The guy who inspired this post, stuck on stupid) I know that now all men are the same, and not all men are douche bags but there are those few that ruin it for the good guys and continue to do so as long as they are allowed to.

As soon as I finished updating a post on dontdatehimgirl.com, about a friend/lover who I recently found out (by  unconventional means) that he has three other friends/lovers at the same time,  who obviously do not know about each other, I thought that I should warn other women about this serial player.  Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a man who has an active lifestyle, but what bothers me is  the fact that he lies about it, and makes these women believe they are the only one.  THAT I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH . As you can tell I am a little upset, especially since I was honest with this “friend” with benefits. Despite our numerous talks about not being able to be in a relationship  there was always a connection between us, a connection that is hard to explain.  Although we dubbed it  a friendship ,we enjoyed each others company both in and out of the bedroom,had deep conversations about the past , present, and future . I can’t explain what it was that we had, but in my eyes it was more than that , his actions were different from the words that came out of his mouth. Does a friend call you pet names like baby? Does a friend make love to you andd? Does a friend cuddle after sex? Does a friend sometimes slip and mention the possibility of a future together?

I cant explain the connection that we had, but for some reason we were drawn to each other time after time. We knew that we sucked at the whole relationship thing , but we both knew that we liked having each other in our lives. Despite my strong feelings for him, I would tell him if I was dating others, etc. It was hard but  I was honest.  I mean who wants to tell the man that you thought you  were in love with that you were dating other men, and the only reason that you are doing this is because he wont commit to you.

I guess that’s what separates the men from the boys, a man is someone who is able to tell the truth and let a woman know where she stands from day one instead of sugar coating shit. I wish I could let  all the other women with broken hearts out there know that unity in numbers is key!!!  Lets promote this site to warn at least one woman who encounters this douche bag to move onward and forward.  Like the saying goes, not all that glitters is gold,

So getting back to my unconventional way of finding out about these women, what should I do with this information that I have in my hands? Should I warn at least one of these women about her Prince Charming? Or let it go?

I know that all men are not the same, and I wish many more women knew about this site because unfortunately there are a lot of douche bags out there.

I have figured out the hard way that you cant trust every one , second chances are not always a good idea, and some people will never change. What you see is not necessarily what you get. If I could warn at least one woman about one of  the losers that is out there than I have at least done my job.

  1. Well this is random. I just stumbled across your blog after posting about my ex-girlfriend, one year after she allegedly passed away. Interesting write up. Sorry you’ve had your fair share of douche bags. It’s a lot easier just being single. Marco (instant fan)

  2. Marco I am sorry about your loss?!! Ok Now I need to hear about your story? Who would be spineless enough to allegedly pass away? Whoa..

    If I did not have my fair of Douche bags…I would not be writing as much as I do. Douche bags give me material!
    Being single does have its perks but so does being in a relationship. Ahh the Yin and Yang of love..

  3. This is from ANONYMOUS: It was sent to my email..

    i gotta a question about that, how can i guy “cheat” if you were never boyfrnd or girlfrnd???? by your own words you suggest that he was a frnd with benefits key word “friend” most men dont think they are cheating unless you are labeled “boyfriend” or “fiance” or “husband” thats how most men are programmed. now im not making any excuses for either of you but it seems that he led you to believe in a scenario that you wanted to believe in. love will drive you crazy, but isnt that what make it fun, they say the greatest ROMANCE is a love that is never fulfilled maybe that might be true for you two…..anyways take care.

  4. Anonymous: You have opened up a can of worms!!!
    Lets look at the definiton of Friends, & Relationships shall we?

    A relationship is normally viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic or intimate relationship.. Friendships consist of mutual liking, trust, respect, and often even love and unconditional acceptance..

    FWB: is a term used to describe the physical and emotional relationship between two unmarried people who engage in uncommitted sex acts. The intent is generally to relieve sexual frustrations through an alternative to masturbation, and is not intended as a romantic relationship. Both parties are free to date and engage in sex acts with other persons. This type of a relationship effectively gives the people involved an outlet for their sexual urges without the potential stress and time-demands of a committed relationship. Two people may elect to become friends with benefits because they are unwilling to commit to a full-fledged relationship for whatever reason.

    Ok back to my post, I dont think i stated that he cheated in the blog, I merely was upset that this FWB chose to break my trust and ruin our Friendship/Relationship. Just because we did not have the title of boyfriend and girlfriend does give him the right to disrespect me.When you are in a FWB situation, it is a given that both couples are free to do as they please. My only condition to this was be honest about it. I would rather know what was going on vs stumble upon some information and get hurt.

    When you are with someone, ie a friend, lover, boyfriend fwb, whatever title you want to call it.It is a relationship. You are dealing with a human being and emotions and matters of the heart.
    Just because you are in FWB situation does not mean that you dismiss a woman or mans feelings and are the handed the lying card in life. The basis behind my post was to state that I was open and honest with this friend and he should have done the same. Yes I should not have accidentaly opened his phone, but how else would I have known there is another?

    According to him, I was the only Super special secret friend. But according to his phone, there were others. This is why I am upset, If a man is handed such an open relationship as the one he and I shared why the need to lie? For fear of losing it? As much as I hated to admit it when he asked me if there were others I was honest. I just expected that some honesty. Esp if you are my “friend”

    Had I have known there was another or 2, or 3..I would not be so upset…My heart would have been a little more prepared for the blow that it endured..

  5. ok i understand what yr saying, but, you should not have opened his phone. you came across the info (although it was the truth) by accident, again here we go with the yin and yang of things, men are from mars women are from venus, men usually dont have the “heart” or courage to tell the truth if they know you will take it the “wrong way” ie hurting you. maybe he enjoyed yr company and loved being with you but was unsure of the situation.thats why he was seeing other women. also if you were seeing other people whats the big deal? however if you werent i can understand why you would be hurt, angry, upset. Here’s a bit of advice that has proven true for me….Stop trying to understand the opposite sex, stop trying to understand relationships. Mankind has been trying to understand this scenario for centuries and the one constant truth is that we will never know. but it is fun to discuss though lol…

  6. I agree, I did a bad, Although the intentions were merely innocent…Not all men are cowards I have met plenty of men that have told me straight out that they have active lifestyles and have no intention of being with me and me only. I have met those wham bam thank you mam type of men..And as messed up as it sounds, at least those men know what they want. They dont play mind and heart games. The others, I dub Boys.. they are afraid of hurting a womans feelings and opt to lie about it. Putting every one at risk for hurt or worse things..
    I was dating others and I was honest about it, so am I really hurt? I guess I am upset about being lied to in every aspect. Friends don’t do that. Friends dont lie, Plus there was a lot of confusion that came along with the whole relationship. His actions said one thing, his mouth said another.

    Thanks for firing up the brain…!!!
