The F*** Buddy

Image

For about the last 3 or 4 years this woman and I had an “arrangement”.  In this “arrangement” we did what most folks like to call FUCKING.  From day one all I did was tear that ass up.  There was no beating around the bush.  We just got to it.  One time I was bullshitting and she said in an annoyed voice, “Can we fuck now?”  Yes, I must say she was the perfect ‘Fuck Buddy’.  She was the definition of that shit.  This woman never asked about my relationship status…because it wasn’t about that. She never wanted to spend the night or even hang out after our sessions…because it wasn’t about that. She never asked to go on a date…because it wasn’t about that. Her only concern was when I was going to be available to beat the cakes.  When we were done, she threw on her clothes, maybe said goodbye and shook the spot. If she saw me in public with another woman, she would not even acknowledge it. No emotions, no reason to lie about anything, no strings, just pure fucking.  She was such a G about everything!

Now we did not link up all the time.  Sometimes we would go months without seeing each other.  I don’t know about her but if I was dating someone serious she wouldn’t even get a response from me.  Anytime there was a break up or I was going through a slump I went ahead and sent that text.  The text would read “I need that”, and once availability was worked out we were set.  It was such a beautiful situation and it worked well for both of us.  There were no emotions, no questions, and no worries.  I don’t even remember us ever kissing, and there for damn sure wasn’t any cuddling. We knew what our purpose was for each other.  When there was an itch it was scratched.  

So for 3 or 4 years this is how we got down.  We had some really good times. Our sexual chemistry was on point! But as we know all good things must come to an end.  I really don’t believe in that saying but I knew this shit had to eventually stop.  If it was up to her I don’t think it would have ever ended.  She was once married and didn’t ever want to go that route again.  So as long as she got her fix once in awhile she was good.  I, on the other hand, assumed that it would end because I would find the beautiful woman that I wanted to marry. WRONG! The damn woman broke the fuck buddy rules!  The day after our last session I received about 3 text messages from her.  After years of doing things a certain way she now wanted more.  In those text messages she let me know that she needed to be hugged, kissed, and cuddled.  Was that asking too much? YES INDEED.  Next she might want me to start taking her out on dates, and that was NOT gonna happen.  That is not in the fuck buddy handbook and I never talked to her again.  Thee END.

Stay tuned for the next post, “Fuck Buddy Guidelines”. 

Weekend Love from Joe Dates

joedate

I know it was a long week but we made it people! It is now time to enjoy our weekend. So grab your mate or date and go hit these streets.  You might wanna keep it simple but I’m all for stepping out of the box and trying something new. This week just like every week I am providing plenty of options.  If your weekend sucks then blame yourself because Joe Dates has been handing out these assists every Friday like Magic Johnson.  Now I post the different events on here but you can always use some creativity and come up with a great date.  If there is a museum on here, why not have a picnic at the museum.  Make sure you have your picnic kit on deck.  Bring some wine. Yeah drinking in public is illegal, so hide it well (like me) or pour the wine in a different container. Don’t forget your corkscrew! 

For those foodies out there that love to eat and try different types of food, please go check out this blog http://losangelelust.blogspot.com/2013/08/best-dishes-in-la.html. I promise after looking on that blog for 30 seconds you will be ready to stuff your face.  I just came up with a date idea based on the food I just saw from that blog!  Here it is, say you and your date love tacos, try a bunch of different taco spots to see who is number 1 in the city. That sounds like the perfect date to me! YOU’RE WELCOME! And here is what’s going on this weekend.

Marcus Graham

Image

Boomerang is one of my all time favorite movies.  The lead character Marcus Graham has played a pivotal part in my life. People this is no joke. The man helped me understand women.  He states, “The only reason stuff like that happens to me is because I pay attention to women. Y’all don’t pay attention.”  That is it fellas, just pay attention.  If you really want that woman and this is someone you are considering taking serious then pay really close attention. Find out what she likes. Ask the right questions and she will tell you. If she doesn’t tell you with words then she will tell you with body language. Yo, if she tells you what her birthday is, fuckin write the shit down in the notes on your phone.  Cool, you brought her flowers. Did you take time to find out what kind of flowers she likes or if she likes flowers at all? Those little things will go a long way.

Now if you don’t “really want her” and you just want to beat the cakes then you still must pay attention.  It is the same process without doing the extras.  You do not have to do as much as the guy who wants this woman for the long haul. That guy was using his powers for good, but you my friend are using these powers for evil *evil laugh*.  Let’s change evil to good times. There is nothing evil about getting that pie. This is easy my guy. Just make sure you are talking about subjects that interest her. Get her to start giggling. Say something clever. Take her on a date doing something she really enjoys. Even better make the date something she always wanted to do but just never had the chance to. Just pay attention. Sometimes you will even realize that she is not interested at all or is not giving up the snacks, and if you are PAYING ATTENTION you will come to the conclusion you are wasting your time with this one.

Guys, both of you, remember to always pay attention in the bedroom.  If the chick is reacting favorably to something you are doing then keep doing the shit. Do NOT start trying new tricks and end up fucking up the groove.  Try something else when that reaction is wearing down.  Don’t be the idiot that my female friends talk about that just did 5 different sexual positions in 5 minutes.  Dude get it together, calm down, and pay attention!  And go watch Boomerang so you can get some lessons from the master Marcus Graham. Just ignore when he slipped up with Jacqueline. That is definitely not the point of this post.

Get Out This Weekend!

Lame Dick Excuses

Image

 

Like I’ve stated before and will state over and over again, I am a beast in the sack…most of the time.  During those times where I am not so beastly it really hurts my pride. For this reason, I and other men, come up with “Lame Dick Excuses”.  In one of my earlier posts I talked about how horrible I was my first time beating cakes (I should just say having sex because there was not much beating going on).  I was so quick! I think I was about 3 strokes in and it was night, night.  Knowing this was not ok and being very quick on my feet, I came up with this, “Oh shit, the condom busted”. I snatched that condom off so quick and tossed it somewhere to never be found again (until I stepped on it the next morning).  I did not plan that out or even discuss with anyone what I might say if I was a quick shooter, all impromptu baby!  Folks it worked.  We grabbed another condom and got back to business.  I still sucked but that is beyond the point. 

Now of course that excuse is not going to work in every situation.  Let’s be real, many of us are not strapping up anyway so you gotta come up with something different.  And what about those times where you can’t get it up? What are you going to say then???

For the quick shooter who is not strapped, there are a few ways you can justify your lameness.  First, blame it on her! Tell her she felt fucking amazing and there was no controlling it.  Seriously, make her feel like that thang was FIYAH!  She may still think you’re wack but she will probably let you go for round 2.  Second, just say it’s been a minute since you have had some tang.  Last time you had sex may have actually been this morning but LIE.  Hey, you can even tell her you were practicing abstinence for months.  You’re still lame as hell but if she likes you she’ll be ok with this excuse unless this becomes routine.

Now for the guy pushing rope, this is a bit more difficult.  It happens to the best of us but dammit having the paralyzed peen really sucks and kills off all swag.  None and I mean NONE of these excuses really work but we try them.  The only one that kinda sorta works is if you are wearing a condom. That’s when you have to blame it on the condom. Sometimes it is really true. The condom is really killing off your wood.  Yo condoms effing suck but until there is something better, I will stay forever strapped and you should too.

I’m starting to think these excuses just make us feel better because I’m pretty sure 99% of females are not trying to hear them at all. I actually think I am getting to the point where I just don’t give a fuck. Of course I wanna bring the thunder and lightning every time but I have shit to do (work on this blog, workout, eat, watch reruns of The Wire, etc.).  This way of thinking comes with age young pups. Don’t let these women stress you out!

Get Out This Weekend

jet ski

Get up, get out, and do something this weekend. Don’t go on that same date that you have been on a million times. No dinner and a movie this weekend folks. Get creative and go do something fun or interesting. We have a month of summer left so take advantage of this weather.  Do not allow your dates or relationships to get stale. You see the pic, I’m trying to hop on a jet ski this weekend.  Here are some ideas for the weekend for those living in the Los Angeles area. There is no excuse to have the same old routine. You’re welcome!

Squares Need Not Apply!

tumblr_mlqe7uCzk61qm8frvo1_500 (1)

I have only been in a handful of relationships and only one has lasted longer than six months.  Most have been ok but this one really SUCKED.  I always look back at that one and ask myself, WHY? The only positives from that relationship were she lived really close to my college, the pizza spot next door was THEE SHIT, and she had the NFL Network and football season was just starting.  This is sounding really bad but eff it.  The chick was just ok looking, she could not cook, her personality was shitty, neither my mom nor my friends liked her, and the sex was WACK!

That was actually the biggest issue for me. It was so damn boring. I really really love sex so you know it is bad when I’m turning it down.  Even worse, she was having the time of her life. As far as she was concerned the sex was amazing.  I’m adventurous. Let’s do it here, there, and everywhere (I have some stories to tell!). But this woman would not let me touch her outside of the bedroom.  When I say outside of the bedroom, I mean not even on the couch in the living room!  I remember heading back home from San Diego with her and I tried to get my pinky stinky.  This chick looked at me like I was crazy and said someone might see us. WHO CARES?! Those people don’t know us, they will never see us again, and we are driving 75 mph! I really disliked her.  Her life is just stupid.

A square chick will either be a single one or one that gets cheated on.  I didn’t actually cheat on her, but it was on my mind ALL THE TIME. The first and only woman I have ever wanted to cheat on.  I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to break if off ASAP. Anyway, I met a young lady pretty much the same day I broke up with the ex. She was only in town for a week, but in that week she did EVERYTHING I wanted that ex-girlfriend to do. I’m talking sex on the beach BEFORE sunset, head in the parking lot, and yes my pinky got plenty stinky while rolling around the city.

I do not care if you are the finest woman in the world, you cannot be too fine to get nasty for your dude.  That pretty shit means nothing after a while.  Don’t be surprised when your dude is hanging out with that wildebeest because she got that FIYAH that you were lacking. Now I’m not saying you need to be a porn star, but don’t be a damn square.  Attack us once in awhile. Give us some ‘just because’ head. Hey I’m watching TV, and then POW my chick throws my Johnson in her mouth.  That’s the kind of stuff I’m talking about. This doesn’t cost any money and I promise your dude will appreciate the hell out of you.  Step out of that square ass box, watch some porn, and take some notes.

First Date Nightmares!

a-nightmare-on-elm-street-movie-image-18

A few people felt like the First Date Guidelines were common sense and I personally feel like they should be. I guess common sense is not all that common these days. Here are some first date horror stories that a few ladies shared with me. This is PROOF that the guidelines were needed!

Here goes the first one.

    Businessman's Empty Wallet Help

“I met this guy at a friend’s birthday party and we exchanged information, he asked if I wanted to watch the Lakers championship finals at ESPN Zone, I was free and agreed to go. Here is where everything starts to go downhill. He said he lived close to the Staple Center and asked if I could pick him up. If I wasn’t so bored this particular day the answer would have been hell no, but I agreed and picked him up. He then directs me to a pay parking lot, I pull in and the parking attendant comes up to the car hands me a ticket and is waiting to be paid. I sat there waiting for my date to get his wallet out to pay, after all he directed me to the damn pay lot, not street parking or somewhere less expensive. He sat there oblivious to what’s going on so I paid the attendant. Once parked we get out the car and he has the nerve to say “oh you paid already?” I wanted to slap the taste out his mouth! We walk into ESPN Zone and we are told since it’s the NBA finals there is minimum $10.00 per person, per hour mandatory special. The hostess and waiter made this very clear, but not to my date who was too busy on his phone to listen. So we order, we eat, and everything is ok. His friend and his date even stop by for a few minutes. The waiter was very cool, he wasn’t sweating us on the $10.00 per person, but after an hour or so he did let us know we needed to order something else or pay the bill and leave. The game was almost over so we decided to pay and leave. This fool looks at the bill and starts sweating bullets; I see the panic all over his face. The check was about $50 and I can see in his wallet he only has a $20 bill. He was like “I’m going to call my boy to come back and let me borrow some money”. It was taking a while for his friend to reply or answer his call, and the waiter kept coming over to collect the check. This idiot sets the $20 with the check and when the waiter comes back around he lets him take it knowing damn well the full amount wasn’t there. The waiter comes back like “I need the remaining balance”. At this point I’m embarrassed and ready to go. I grab the check and put my credit card down. When the waiter brings me my receipt I leave a nice tip and write an apology. My date sees what I’m writing and says how he owes me and will pay me back, etc. As we leave I turn to the waiter and mouth “I’m sorry”. He looks at me with pity and was like “its ok”. Once back to my car this fool is trying to cupcake and even tried to get a kiss in, uh no! I told him I couldn’t drop him off and left. After that night he kept calling and texting trying to make up for that night and of course he got ignored.”

First of all this guy is the ultimate loser.  He is really just failing at life.  I just don’t get this dude. Why didn’t he just say meet me there since he stays near Staple Center? WHY go on the date in the first place if you’re broke?! And WHAT THE FUCK was he thinking when he put that 20 dollar bill in there knowing that it wasn’t going to cover the check?!  I really wish I could have been sitting at the table next to them watching this all go down.  The signs were there from the start.  He asked to get picked up and then doesn’t even pay for parking!  After all this he still tries go get some affection.  Gotta love his short term memory. Dude didn’t give two fucks about being probably the worst date this woman’s ever had because he was still gonna try to get one in.

Another story from a ‘horrible first date’ victim.

“I agreed to go on a date with this handsome guy I recently met at a local bar.  I had started to feel under the weather, but really didn’t want to cancel.  I let him know that it may be best to postpone so that he doesn’t get ill , but he assured me he would be very happy to see me for as long as I was willing.  He was having a dinner party with random friends later that evening.   

I went pre-party, as I was feeling worse and worse by the hour, and to also avoid having to meet any of this friends on a first date, esp while I was feeling like crap.  Initially, he really pulled out all the stops.  Made me fresh tea.  Soup.  All the get-better-soon fixins’ – and all while he is preparing this feast for his friends.  A gentleman and he can cook?  I was impressed.  

Fast-forward a couple of hours and some meds and tea (I brought the meds, I think it was Dayquil) he is taking a break as food simmers and sits by me and we are chatting.  He goes in to kiss me.  Initially, I use the excuse of “I’m sick” again.  He responds with “I don’t care”.  (Yes, the no-no list is getting longer – but in my defense, I hadn’t had a kiss quite some time, and it was yummy.)   This kiss is very soon a pretty heavy make out session.  I am a tad lightheaded (yes it was good but not that good, remember I was sick), so I sort of pull away to catch my breath.  He gets up from his seat next to me, and walks away while complimenting me on my lips and kissing ability.  I use his getting up, as my queue to politely exit – its gone WAY further than any first date I’d prefer. 

I don’t know where he went however, but we are talking through the walls.  I tell him I am feeling pretty badly, I think I am going to leave. 

He returns to the living room with his pants off.  Underwear off.  Dick hard and out.  “You sure you want to leave all this??”

WHAT?!! WHO SAYS THAT??

I felt like I’d def contributed to the confusion, so I didn’t go off (although that was so MANY things), and I just said “Yeah No.  I’m good.  I’m def not going there.”  So he says, “OK lets just masturbate together.” 

Man, if you could have been in my head at that moment.  

It ended pretty well for him.  As soon as he’d said it, he literally started jacking off.  After I realized I was not hallucinating, I began collecting my things.  He was still going.  By the time I hit the door, he was done. 

WHO DOES THAT??

And yes, I cut that fool off.  This is not a porn movie dumb ass.”  

This is so HILARIOUS! I’m with you my friend, WHO DOES THAT?! There were quite a few first date crimes committed here. She should NOT have gone to his house. This is not a good move on the first date or even for the first few dates. If you go to a guy’s house on the first date he is probably thinking there is a pretty good chance that he may end up pouncing that night.  I didn’t really touch on kissing but if you do, it should at least happen at the end of the date.   Making out a little bit on the couch is still no excuse for him coming out of the room porno style on you.  I guess I’m not too mad at the dude. Sometimes you just have to take a shot and I must say this fool shot from half court on this one.  Fuckin idiot.

He is our last victim but honestly she should take the blame for this one.

“I had to let you know about the worst first date EVER! I met this guy through a mutual friend. He was really handsome and seemed really cool. He asked me out to the movies and I was all for it. I will never forget this night! This idiot showed up at my door for our first date totally drunk. When I opened the door he could barely stand straight and was slurring. I should have shut it down right then and there, but for some reason I agreed to go to the movies with this fool and five minutes into the movie he was knocked out, snoring and everything. Needless to say that was our first and LAST date.”

This is really really bad. This one is full of first date NO NOs. I have to blame her for this one.  Why why why did she accept to go to the movies?! That was going to be a bad date even if he was sober.  Then he arrives at her home completely sauced! Why did she continue with this date after seeing him in that condition?  Should of just closed the door in his face and turned on a good movie.  We already know he ain’t shit but I must say I’m pretty disappointed in her.  Hope you have learned your lesson and always refer back to the guidelines.

First Date Guidelines- The Dos and Do NOTS

Image

I actually really enjoy first dates. Maybe it’s just because I’m a people person and I like to socialize.  It could also be that first dates are a challenge and I appreciate a good one. The challenge with first dates (from a guy’s perspective) is to break down her wall and get this young lady to feel comfortable with me.  I want her to enjoy my company and start opening up.  I am not expecting her to reveal too much but opening up a tad will help us get to know each other.Hopefully, that will lead to some good convo and a really good date.  It is very rare that I have a bad first date, primarily, due to the fact that I follow these First Date Guidelines:

BE ON TIME

Image

These should not be spontaneous plans.  You should know where and when this date is going to take place days ahead so you should not be late.  I live in LA so I understand things do happen and traffic can be unpredictable at times.  When you think you may be tardy, give a call to that person and let them know.  Don’t be a douche and leave them hanging, wondering if you forgot about the date.

GUYS: PICK HER UP UNLESS SHE WANTS TO MEET THERE

Image

REALLY??? You really just asked this woman if she could come swoop you up for the first date?! If the date even happens it is because she is probably bored out of her mind and hasn’t been on a date in months.  This is just a bad move. Ladies, this is the first date so you should probably meet him there.  (He might have some stalker in him.)

NO MOVIES!

Image

Be creative. Google some shit. But NEVER and I mean NEVER go to the movies for a first date.  I’m talking to the fellas right here because YOU should be making the first date plans.  Going to the movies is just stupid.  You can’t talk in the movies. You are just sitting there in silence. Smart move buddy. You really got to know her well!

NO TEXTING

Image

Show some respect for your date and keep your phone in your pocket/purse. A couple hours without your phone will not kill you.  Cancel the damn date if you need to be on your phone that bad. If your date cannot stay off their phone then you have the right to end the date immediately.  I would love for you to just walk off without saying a word. That would be dope! Show them the same respect they are showing you, which is none.

SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR EXES

Image

YO! Chill on the ex talk.  Nobody wants to hear about your ex. I have even made this mistake but it is clear to me now that this is a no no.  Seriously, no one wants to hear how in love you were with him or her or how crazy he or she was.  You think I want to take a chance dating you after hearing how crazy that ex was?! No thank you. I am not trying to get stalked!

HAVE SOME MANNERS AND CLASS

Image

I hope by now you know how to eat properly. Chewing with your mouth open is not ok and do NOT eat like you are in a competition. You are not a 5 year old child.  If you get your food first, please wait until your date gets theirs before you start going in.  Remember, servers are in control of the food that you are about to consume, so please don’t be a dickhead to them.  Now you and your date have to worry about saliva being in your food because YOU don’t know how to talk to people. You’re a winner.  I’ll throw this in there as well: DO NOT GET DRUNK! Know your limits. You might want to just keep it at a two drink max folks.

DUTCH???

Image

Bro, pick up the check! I promise you will not be getting a second date if she is paying for her meal. You certainly don’t deserve one with your dumb ass.  And leave a tip! Women have some damn standards. There is no way in hell you should be splitting the bill on the first date.

HANDS TO YOURSELF

Image

It is the first date so stop trying to get all touchy feely.  Your aggression is making her uncomfortable and she is thinking about pulling out the pepper spray.  You think what you’re doing is getting you closer to taking her down but it’s not.  While you have that creepy smile on your face, she is really considering making a run for it. Ladies, if you are the one being aggressive then you are probably gonna end up a booty call. Thanks for the vagina.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

Image

I know this is the first date and you want to get to know the person but this is not a job interview.  All these back to back questions are unnecessary.  Let the conversation flow. Don’t talk too much, but don’t be boring. If your date is not helping at all with their one word answers then this is going to be a long night.  You may want to find a way to end the night early because they probably suck. And not in a good way.

HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO SAY SHE’S HOT?

Image

Too many compliments get annoying because after a while they just don’t seem genuine.  It is not even normal to compliment someone that much, you cornball. You said it once and that is plenty. Chillax, buddy!

BE YOU!

Image

Lastly, be yourself.  Do not put up a front on the first date because you will not be able keep it up for long. It is really not fair to that other person because they are getting to know someone who will not even be around.  The real you will eventually show up and they are going to be very confused.  Your first date should not be at Crustaceans if you are on a Sizzler’s budget. There are plenty of nice restaurants in your price range, just do a little research. I mean what good is being fake doing you anyway? You’re making your job harder than it has to be. Don’t waste your time or theirs. Figure out earlier if you guys are really compatible. If not, better to weed someone out earlier than later.

Where It All Began

ImageThe girl, it is all about the girl. And not just that one girl, we want them all. Since day one we were told that’s what it’s about. We were told this by our brothers, cousins, friends, and even our fathers.  I was barely 10 years old when my older cousins were asking me, “Joey, you get you some pussy yet?”  When I felt that question was coming, my stomach started cramping up with anxiety and embarrassment.  I remember wanting to run away every time it was asked.  I was only fucking 10!!! Hell no I hadn’t tapped any ass yet.  In the beginning, I was ok with saying, no.  But when I turned 12 it was no longer ok to be a virgin. Oh boy was this some pressure.  I always knew when that damn question was coming.  At 12 I just went ahead and started lying. I learned early that you must have those lies straight because you are going to have to tell at least five more. You are also going to have to come up with some names and a legitimate reason why you can’t call that girl to confirm that you got them cakes. My lies SUCKED but I did what a real man does and I stuck to them! My cousins knew I was lying my ass off. But I kept those lies coming. I would like to apologize to Tanisha, Aja, Danielle, and Ebony because I had sex with all y’all in the 8th grade according to the stories I told my big cousins.

My cousins were so hard on me that when the questions came from my peers, lying was a piece of cake. I would say things like; “Hell yeah I’m fuckin. My girl goes to Palisades and the other one goes to Hamilton.” You always had to pick a school that was just far enough away from your school so that no one you told this lie to had any connections at these schools. And if they did know someone there, you better be ready for some follow up lies.  All I knew at this time was that being a man meant fucking the most girls, period.  It was all about getting the cat. This pursuit ran my life! This is all my boys and I ever talked about. Some of them were getting it, but my best friend Kevin and I surely were not. We couldn’t get a break! The girls were letting us do everything but STICK THE TIP IN! I still remember my fingers cramping up hoping that this would eventually lead to me officially dropping my membership in the “dry dick gang”.

This chase was real. The thing that really sucked was we were actually pretty popular. Well Kevin was way more popular than me. But since I was his best friend I was destined to get some sidekick ass, right?  And BOOM that is exactly what happened.  We were 18 (yes, I did not lose my virginity until I was 18 so eat a fat one) and by this time Kevin had already knocked down a couple girls.  I, on the other hand, used my other hand.  I can’t tell you how tired I was of lying about not being a virgin?! Anyway, one of the girls Kevin was dating had that trusty ol’ sidekick.  He was house-sitting for his god mother and he got his chick and her sidekick to come through and stay the night with us. Little miss fast ass, hot in the pants (double standards are here to stay so deal with it) didn’t know me at all but as long as I was cute she was down.  Kevin and I knew my time had come! I finally got my first piece of tang! Wooohooo! I felt so free. The details of the actual night are for another entry. Just know I was super wack, it was over in seconds, and it was the start of the lame dick excuses. Now this didn’t really get the ball rolling too much. I wasn’t knocking them down left and right. I was getting some every few months, which is crazy because I’d lose it if I went longer than a couple weeks without some now. Now that I had finally experienced what I had been lying about for years, the chase was truly on. I may have only been getting some every few months, but damn I was putting in some crazy effort to get the girl or girls. That’s what being a man is all about, right?
