On Blast
Today we’re putting two folks On Blast. First, an Anonymous posting with: What is the key to making a man happy? Is it in finances, looks, spontaneity, or intimacy (you know) and which acts need to be performed to please and keep a man?
The variables on what makes a man happy are as numerous as what it would take to make everyone reading this (including the women) happy. What’s most important is what makes YOU happy. If your compromises and efforts to make a relationship work are acceptable to you and what you do for your mate/partner make YOU happy you will ultimately find that your partner will be happy. However, if you make compromises that devalue you, disrespect you or make you uncomfortable, they will prove disastrous to your relationship. It is my experience that men (and likely women) value someone who has a positive disposition, shows genuine interest, is honest, shows an acceptable level of class (all relative, of course) and communicates their feelings. Looks, finances, spontaneity and a hot-tamale in bed are all pluses, but none are necessary to maintain a healthy relationship. While some may think that men MUST have a looker or someone who will do those freaky things that keep his eyes bulging, the truth is, most men are happy to have a committed woman who pays attention. In the end, be sure you’re happy. This way, if things don’t pan-out you don’t feel that you were taken advantage of.

Second, Melissa’s On Blast with: Why do some women date single men with 5 or more children (probably by more than one mother), but some single men won't date single women with 5 or more children? The answer is simple. Most single men with five or more children do not live with the children, while women with (any amount) of children usually have custody of their children. This poses a problem for men who do not wish to take the responsibility (and in their view, headache) of someone else’s children. Women are not as likely to encounter a man who has custody of his children and, outside of support payments, are not forced to take on the prospect of interaction with a man’s children.

Keep passin’ the open windows…

Honey! Honey?! You there?!
I feel like Alex Trebek (sp) but why isn't that phrased in the form of a question? Well Caspar, we can address it, but I suspect anyone not using condoms today is making a clear choice to accept any/all repercussions. Given the media saturation on the issue, it's almost pointless to reiterate the dangers of unprotected sex. ...but like J'Moo says, that's just my opinion.

Because in the moment it feels good and they don't like plastic. Daaaaaaa, many think quick gratification and not long term effects. It's all about feeling good.

Dear Trojan Man,
With the right condom the experience is not as horrifying as you may think. Besides, the younger generation should not recall an era of condom-less sex anyway. Folks began using condoms to combat AIDS in the mid-to-late 80s...just goes to show you how certain folks like it raw regardless of the cost. As someone who was in the pre-condom sex era I'll tell you the truth... I'd rather deal with the added steps and buy myself a few years, rather than find myself in a bigger predicament.

Well there you go! Why if they know (and I am sure they do know) do they still continue not to use condoms. Well many older and younger generations (I've spoken to some and know many especially many young girls) take the risk and instead of delaying gratification go for the quick enjoyment and do it raw. Perhaps it's a self esteem issue, or who knows, but many still do it raw and take big chances.
