9 Dec, 2010  |  Dating Dictionary

And we are at it again, my dolls…

Playing text games.

She (via text): Hi, how was your day?

He: Who is this?

Translation: I’m trying to be cute, but clearly I suck.

Sports Fish vs. A Keeper: Oh My, What Am I?

29 Apr, 2009  |  Dating Dictionary
Sooo, as I was perusing the NYTimes book section, I found my next necessary read “The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt.” by T.J. Stiles. Why? Because American Capitalism fascinates me ;-> This book is def going to be made into a movie…maybe with the ubiquitous Tom Hanks? Anyways, I digress…
As I was searching for the lowest book price online, I came across another title that caught my eye: “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” by…Steve Harvey??? Huh!? I took a look inside the book via Browse Inside and these are the specific chapters that have me seriously interested in buying this book (or free-reading it @ borders, recession-hello!):

“Sport Fish Vs. Keepers:
How Men Distinguish from the Marrying Types & The Playthings“

“Five Questions Every Woman Should Ask Before She Gets In Too Deep”

“How To Get The Ring”
(this one should be interesting as hell!)

I found an excerpt from the ‘Sports Fish v. Keepers’ chapter @ ‘The Mean Girl’s Guide to Glory Blog’ –

“A Sports Fish:
Doesn’t have any rules, requirements, respect for herself, or guidelines, and we men can pick up her scent a mile away. She’s the party girl who takes a sip of her Long island Iced Tea or a shot of her Patron, then announces to her suitor that she just “wants to date and see how it goes,” and she’s the conservatively dressed woman at the office who is a master at networking, but clueless about how to approach men. She has no plans for any ongoing relationships, is not expecting anything in particular from a man, and sets absolutely not nary one condition or restriction on anyone standing before her – she makes it very clear that she’s just along for whatever is getting ready to happen. For sure, as soon as she lets a man know through words and action that he can treat her just any old kind of way, he will do just that. Men will stand in line to sign up for that, believe me.“

“A Keeper:
Never gives in easily, and the standards/requirements start from the moment you open your mouth. See, she understands her power and wields in like a samurai sword. She commands – not demands – respect, just by the way she carries herself. You can walk up to her and give her your best game, and while she may be impressed by what you say, that’s no guarantee that she’s going to let the conversation go any further, much less give you her phone number and agree to give you some of her valuable time. Men automatically know from the moment she opens her mouth that if they want her, they’ll have to get in line with her standards and requirements, or keep it moving because she’s done with games and isn’t interested in playing.“

DAMN - I want to read this book asap and of course ‘Browse Inside’ stops at the pinnacle of every chapter – obviously to buy the book (or schlep & free-read, whatevz)!

If I only had Kindle I could read this now!!!
