the lightbulb: 8 simple inner “voila!” statements that would make vsb (and every other relationship advice website) obsolete

hmmm. maybe "i dont do commitment" actually isn't mancode for "i'll change my mind if you keep sleeping with me"
maybe “i dont do commitment” actually isn’t mancode for “i’ll change my mind if you keep sleeping with me”

you know, after we reach each of our crime-fighting and world domination goals, our plan is to live in a world where vsb has been rendered obsolete, a universe where the sage wisdom of panama, the champ, and liz’s boobs is no longer needed because everyone is making wise relationship-related decisions on their own.

thing is, we’re really not that far from that day, as much of the dating and mating acrimony we face (and the advice received) would be thwarted if we just started asking ourselves simple questions and began making simple mental comments and observations before acting, “voila!” statements if you will.

here’s 8 of them

1. “hmmm: would i be forced to kill somebody if i got her pregnant?”

from a man’s perspective, there are two distinct types of mental reactions to unplanned pregnancies.

a) “well, even though we weren’t expecting this, we can make this work”

b) “somebody (me, her, or the seed) has to die. now.”

there’d be no need for vsb if we stopped f*cking all of the potential “b’s”

2. “you know, maybe my perpetually single and unhappy girlfriends aren’t the best people to get relationship advice from”

3. “all of my friends seem to want to sleep with my man, and its getting pretty frustrating. i wonder if my daily tweets, emails, and facebook status messages about his d*ck have anything to do with that?”

4. “i love my stringent female beauty standards just the way they are. but, until i move out of my grandma’s basement, maybe i should either adjust them or just start keeping them to myself”

imagine, a world where lame men don’t hold all women to unrealistically and unattainably attractive standards, and where the rest of the men don’t have to listen to women incessantly b*tching about the men who do this, even though they only comprise 6% of the male population

5. “damn. another month has passed without a single man approaching me. i probably should try this new ‘sileing‘ or ‘miling‘ or whatever facial expression thing everybody keeps raving about.”

6. “even though he’s been really nice and sweet to me, i wonder if i should be more bothered by the man i saw him murder last weekend”

if i had a dollar for every woman i’ve known who’s attracted to shady dudes and needed consolation after he did some shady sh*t to her, i’d have at least 11 f*cking dollars. i know that doesn’t seem like alot of money, but it’s a recession, and that can get you a month’s worth of meals in pittsburgh

7. “f*ck! shot down again. maybe i should retire my genius ‘do you know the difference between my d*ck and a chicken leg? no? well, let’s go on a picnic and find out.‘ pick-up line”

8. “i should probably stop by the weight scale store at the mall some time next weekend. while i’m there, it wouldn’t hurt to peek inside the mirror store next door for a minute as well.”

i’m sure i’m missing a few.

people of vsb.com, can you think of any more inner “voila” statements that could make the dating and relationship game much easier?

  1. “OK, so I know we just broke up a few weeks ago, and we had that random night of sex last night, but maybe telling him that I might be pregnant, even though it is a lie, won’t make him want to be with me again.”

    or

    “Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to be her friend RIGHT AFTER I broke up with her. Yea… letting her breathe for a month will make things better for the both of us”

    • @Buxxy,

      “OK, so I know we just broke up a few weeks ago, and we had that random night of sex last night, but maybe telling him that I might be pregnant, even though it is a lie, won’t make him want to be with me again.”

      ***filed under “evil sh*t that women do”***

    • @Buxxy, “Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to be her friend RIGHT AFTER I broke up with her. Yea… letting her breathe for a month will make things better for the both of us”

      that’s different. hell, most guys i know, once we breakup with a chick we attempt to NEVER speak to her again. you only talk to jumpoffs you stop schlumping again.

  2. this is for a friend of mine…

    *actually, giving him a bl*w job isn’t that big a deal. let me just try it…”

    girlfriend INSISTS that ‘oral love’ is a filthy business and she’ll NEVER do it… she is beautiful, smart, and sweet (with the juiciest, most promising lips) – but cannot sustain a relationship beyond month 1 (either they leave, or cheat- no doubt with an oral love giver). i’m convinced the lack of oral love is a real factor…

    i’m not one for holding people ransom for not performing certain s3xual activities, but she’s got this weird judgemental attitude towards it, and the d!ck in general – to the extent that i’m often like “my friend, do you even LIKE pen!ses???” coz she talks about them with such disdain….

    • @superwoman,
      well…they are ugly. i went through a phase where i was all about the oral–with my 1 boyfriend. but then one day there was a little too much sunlight in the room and i saw too much. um…i’m not gonna lie. i haven’t done it since. uh uh. and, clearly, that was years ago. hell, i might be the friend you’re talkin about.

      i would never just straight up tell a man that i won’t do it or that i’m disgusted by it though. some things you have to figure out on your own, guy.

      • @charli skipper, ha ha ha – no no, pity the poor creatures – such sweet, foolish-looking knobby- things…so easy to manipulate, (say the right words, and they shrink… then say something else – and they self-inflate!) so much fun to play with, so cute and helpless looking, hardly has any control of itself…

        back on a serious note – you’re right – pen1s-dislike are one of those things you have to figure out on your own….(assuming you haven’t been hurt by one)

        • @superwoman,

          … pity the poor creatures – such sweet, foolish-looking knobby- things…so easy to manipulate, (say the right words, and they shrink… then say something else – and they self-inflate!) so much fun to play with, so cute and helpless looking, hardly has any control of itself…

          I put that on my facebook… Loves it!

      • @charli skipper

        “well…they are ugly.”

        I’m filing this under “Rationalization.” Female parts create a lot more visual issues than male parts, so I hope you’re at least being consistent on what you give and receive. And I don’t know a guy who doesn’t find that to be a deal breaker (which I’m sure you’re well aware of).

        • @An Island, an uncircumsized joint is ugly and weird and nasty..but a reg nice smooth and shiny is a thing of beauty IMO LOL……..one thing I have noticed in movies over the years they make alot of scary aliens and monsters and sh*t resemble the vagina..think Predator for instance LMAO

      • @charli skipper,

        well…they are ugly.

        ok. lets say you’d never seen a penis or a vagina before, and the earth was suddenly invaded by penis monsters and vagina monsters. the vagina monsters (with their multiple flaps and colors, and inclinations to leak various fluids) would easily be the most scary

        • @The Champ, “ok. lets say you’d never seen a penis or a vagina before, and the earth was suddenly invaded by penis monsters and vagina monsters. the vagina monsters (with their multiple flaps and colors, and inclinations to leak various fluids) would easily be the most scary”

          LMBAO! U stupid . . .

      • @charli skipper, Lookin confused like they still make these…….not u charlie I cant believe my ears……..give penis another chance…..mine look good in the sunshine……might I suggest lower more flattering light (like the kind Barbara Walters got in her contract)?

        • @Blacklaw,
          i’m not sayin i won’t do it ever again or that i think its nasty…i think it’s just my way of being passive agressive. some guys don’t deserve it and i want to let them know that without letting them know that i know that they think i should do it. but i don’t mind pulling the services back out for a man that i like & care about that doesn’t vex me on the down low.

      • @charli skipper, thats a hell of an admission. i’m gonna tell you like i’ve told other women who “don’t do that”:

        do you think you’re cute enough, smart enough, or funny enough to NOT do it?

        i aint met a woman alive yet who i thought was bomb enough to get away with not doing it.

        • @Panama Jackson,

          “thats a hell of an admission.”

          i know! i was reluctant to admit it.

          “i’m gonna tell you like i’ve told other women who “don’t do that”:”

          um…but i said i used to do it! it used to be my distinct honor to do it. sunlight is a hell of a thing though.

          “do you think you’re cute enough, smart enough, or funny enough to NOT do it?”

          is this a trick question? because you know i do. lol

    • @superwoman,

      I agree with you. I have dropped or cheated on at least 3 who aren’t oral.

      I’m a grown a** man. I need that in my life. I could careless if she looked like Ashwarya rai, had 7 degrees and spoke 5 languages.

      Adults (men & women) need to be honest with other adults about the importance of sex in a relationship. Sometime I think it gets marginalized.

      Bond. BlkBond.

      • @BlkBond, You have preached a good sermon young brotha…..Leth the church say…..”yAmen….yAmen…and of course…..yAmen”

      • @BlkBond,

        Adults (men & women) need to be honest with other adults about the importance of sex in a relationship. Sometime I think it gets marginalized.

        i smell an entry here and sh*t

      • @BlkBond,

        Adults (men & women) need to be honest with other adults about the importance of sex in a relationship. Sometime I think it gets marginalized.

        I am cosigning this sentence… but will add that in the defense of women, it’s been my experience that men may have a harder time dealing with that type of honesty from a woman… There all kinds of connotations attached to statements like these: “I really like s3x and expect it to play an important role in our relationship” or “s3xual satisfaction is a deciding factor of whether or not a relationship lasts in my opinion”… unfortunately too many of your brethren read that as “Negro you did not handle your business to the point that I had to say something” or “I probably have more experience than you and I would like you to be aware of that fact” or even worst “I have been around the block”…. all statements that may or may not be true. All I am saying is it’s less comfortable for a woman to voice her opinions about the importance of s3x in a relationship… at least at the beginning…

        By the time, she has to voice them aloud, she has already been fantasized about Tony the mailman to get off while chexing you… which we all know does not bode well.

        p.s: All characters appearing in this entry are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

  3. “Maybe we broke up for a reason and I shouldn’t try to get her back because it might just end up the same way it did the first time”

      • @Naturally Alise, Well put. Being blinded by the booty and vision loss due to vitamin D are definitely plaguing our collective happiness. It is hard not to trust a ‘big butt and a smile’ when she tellin u this time gonna be different……real hard

        side bar: there has to be some kinda evolutionary connection between ppl being crazy as hell and havin the best chex game…..im just sayin ……I assume this is true for the yall ladies too

        • @Blacklaw,

          LOL. Cosign the whole damn thread. I think I’ve spent a grand total of like 6 months single as an adult ( I’m exaggerating..a little) because I refuse to get this shet through my skull.

        • @Blacklaw,

          there has to be some kinda evolutionary connection between ppl being crazy as hell and havin the best chex game

          My personal take? The craziness gets rid of any inhibitions one might have… The less inhibited the person? The better the chex.

  4. “maybe i don’t learn and i like this b.s cuz i sure nuff do keep gettin back together even though nothing really changes”

    “maybe it really is just about sex and we don’t have anything besides that to work with”

    “maybe this b!tch really is just hatin always cosigning the negatives cuz she is the one who is miserable and lonely and a gossip wh*re, when all i really needed to do was vent”

    • @superwoman, truth but aint nobody tryna talk about the same ish on the phone we were talking bout when I saw you a few minutes/hours ago……..have something interesting to talk about if the phone call is gonna go on for over 5min….otherwise i suggest text messaging

      • @Blacklaw,

        Church. I was writing a post on this very topic.

        Women are always talking about how we ‘don’t talk’ or ‘don’t call’ and it’s like, “you ain’t talkin’ about sh*t!”.
        I’m not about hold that plastic to my ear for an hour to listen to you talk about where you might go for lunch, what song you heard on the f*ckin’ radio on your way to work, and go on about celebrities. FOH!

        Bond. BlkBond.

        • @BlkBond, i be tellin chix that cell phone causes brain cancer …minimze ur use jabber jaw…..

          When I say I gotta go….I gotta go!!!!! Me and Champ are true believers in the fact that too many women are walking around sex offenders…….”raping my time”

          Legal Negro

          • @Blacklaw,

            When I say I gotta go….I gotta go!!!!! Me and Champ are true believers in the fact that too many women are walking around sex offenders…….”raping my time

            seriously, if we ever get this vsb podcast thing up and running, i want our first guest to be patrice o’neal

  5. “i probably should try this new ‘sileing‘ or ‘miling‘ or whatever facial expression thing everybody keeps raving about.”

    LOL! Smizing. Thank Tyra and America’s Next Top Model for that.

    How about…
    –Maybe I should keep a life of my own and not drop everything for my boo…or take on all of his/her interests because I think that makes me more appealing.
    –I should probably take it down a notch and not try to marry any man that shows interest in me.
    –Maybe if there is something major I’m desiring to change about someone, I should cut my losses early cause change probably ain’t coming.

    Lastly, maybe I should just gain some common sense. That should solve a few problems. I’m just sayin…

  6. keeping it really real because it’s late and i’m tired of studying:

    -maybe I shouldn’t confuse male attention as a replacement for self-esteem
    -maybe i should mile more lol
    -maybe i should be more open-minded
    -maybe i should make time for something (other than dude and school) that interests me
    -maybe i shouldnt confuse physical attraction for mental compatibilty
    -maybe i should break it off with you
    -maybe i should stop thinking and trying to let myself off the hook and just do the right thing like spike
    -rockstar lifestyle might don’t make it. burr.

  7. Maybe…..If I stopped watchin so much porn i would have more realistic views of what women should act and look like….and probably wouldnt need to go to the strip club so often to fill some empty void of sexual depravity that my girl is more than willing to fulfill if I only asked (with a little bass in my voice)

    “Perhaps if I gave him so more chex, head, and knew a little something about sports he wouldn’t be so willing to stray”…….(this is a lie…….but at least he’d be happy when he got home from cheatin on u)

    “Maybe I should give ol’ boy a second look….while he doesnt look like Tyson Beckford….he does have a good job, good convo, and no priors or std’s”

    “Maybe I need to start lookin at non-Black men” (that one hurt just to type……but I got sisters)

    • @Blacklaw,
      ““Maybe I should give ol’ boy a second look….while he doesnt look like Tyson Beckford….he does have a good job, good convo, and no priors or std’s””

      *thumbs up*
      But on the for realla, ain’t no kat running around here looking like Tyson Beckford, except Tyson Beckford…lmao

      • @miss t-lee,

        But on the for realla, ain’t no kat running around here looking like Tyson Beckford, except Tyson Beckford .

        LMAO. True True.

      • @miss t-lee,

        Truth. I’m thinkin’ he’s mistaking those who THINK they look like Tyson Beckford (about 796,000 men) with those who actually do (about 1.1 men). lol

        • @Me fail english?,
          Maybe not now…but trust me back in ’97 I literally thought the sun rose and set on his azz. I used to have his half nekkid calendar hanging up in my kitchen.
          Yup.

        • @Me fail english?,

          My sis actually thinks the same way as you. She’s always talmbout, “WTF is the big deal?!” .I DO think he’s hot, but he’s not really on my register as far as ideal hot guys. I mean, if I saw him in a Ralph Lauren ad with a shirt off, I’d nod like, “Yeah, that’s what’s up”, but he’s not one of my faves or nothin’.

          • @Deeds,

            Girrrlll. I dont like to buy into the rumors but he always looked a little sweet. Then once the gossip started flying around I couldnt get it out my mind. I felt bad for his babymomma on that E show, all still in love with him. Like, “Girl, you know he’s really after your brother”

          • @Deeds,
            I know I’m one of the few Black women who doesn’t find Morris attractive.
            Nope…no sir, I don’t like him.
            He’s not what’s humid on the highway.

          • @miss t-lee,

            Nope not the only one. I don’t find Morris that attractive either. He’s definitely not what’s “chaud dans la rue.”

          • miss t-lee,

            Re: Morris Chestnut

            He aiight. But, I think what the dealbreaker was for me was when he was on Two Can Play That Game and he was tryin’ to give Vivica the bedroom eyes. You know that tryin’ too hard to be smooth mess. It looked all kinds of Fruit Loop Ghey to me. So, I’m with ya there. He is not — I’mma keep this going — what’s blistering in the back alley*.

            *This is also, [insert percentage here] ghey, which…appropriate? *shrug*

          • @ Sula,
            Love the international flavor…lol

            @Cheekie,
            It was THAT moment? LOL
            IDK–I don’t think he was ever good looking to me, not in BITH, not in the Best Man…I just can’t.

        • @Me fail english?,

          (((*Me Fail*)))
          That’s my warm hugs… cause I have to co-sign that shet until the end of the world aka 2012.

          Yes, ladies, Tyson Beckford is NOT hot.

          • @Cheekie,
            It’s funny you mention that movie. There was a scene where I loved him in that movie. It was the scene right after he “flipped the script on Vivica” and then he came into work with this very confident walk. For some reason I really liked that, IMO.

            @ Stuff Ghetto People Like
            Not exactly sure what a V fan is. The only thing I can think of is vagina, and if that is the case then that would be no.

    • @Blacklaw,

      “Maybe…..If I stopped watchin so much porn i would have more realistic views of what women should act and look like….and probably wouldnt need to go to the strip club so often to fill some empty void of sexual depravity that my girl is more than willing to fulfill if I only asked (with a little bass in my voice)”

      WTH? BS! Watch some pron and go to the strip club yourself so yall can surprise us. I’m not about to raise my voice at a woman to get some hucklebuck action.

      • @atltx, Lol@ hucklebuck…..But I know you feel me that some dudes be at the strip a little too much (a lot too much). There aint no way pron and magic city aint effecting the “normal stimulation” of a chick walkin round the house in her drawz.

        • @Blacklaw,

          First off…congrats on knowing about a good strip club to go to for tutoring…yes tutoring. We should make a fieldtrip out of it.

          I would not recommend too many other places for average women to go learn. Some places are just too much like whore houses. Magic city on the other hand…you’ll see alumni licence plates on a number of the dancer’s cars…and you would never guess that the trainer in your gym or SOME of your coworkers moonlight there.

          Go in places like this to learn how to walk around in your underwear…some of yall don’t have a clue. And no…you don’t have to buy expensive lingerie. If you learn how to carry that azz…it can be sexy in your comfy granny time of the month with part of the wing/string hanging out panties with the elastic coming apart because you done had em for 10 years. And better yet…strippers from this establishment can teach yall how to walk around buck nekkid…with confidence. A woman built like a platypus…with confidence…is not lonely.

          • @atltx, Dont get me effed up…. Magic city chix…is bad chix…..but when me and the crew go to a fine gentlemen’s establishment….i feel it is awkward that some of them know “the exotic dancers” on a first name basis…..

            second im not sure a field trip is warranted or appropriate as I have done quite a bit of research…..(Blacklaw is a board certified bootyologist and a grown a$$ MAN *not sure if the name was throwin u off on my gender*)

            third u and i are in total agreement on the possible skill level enhancement that such an establishment will have on a chick’s day to day walking ability….i prefer heels and them thigh high stockings if anybody asking

            But back to our “raison d’etre” I think over stimulation of the male libido is part of the reason dudes need “niagra” and the rest of them pills and find themselves dissatisfied with the chick they got who would be the baddest nastiest freakiest chick on earth if they would just say something instead of using “Wett” (look her up she tha ish) as their amateur psychologist.

          • @atltx, i dont know man…expecting women to adhere to stripper standards is a bit much. i mean, regardless to what we think, a lot of those women are the physical dimes we talk about. you can’t just manufacture the fineness. hell, the first stripper i ever saw in my life amazed me. i was like, gotdamn, how is this the finest women i’ve seen thus far in life.

            i was only 12 but you get the point.

  8. - Maybe sometimes discretion *is* the better part of valor
    - Maybe the “be mean to keep them keen” theory doesn’t seem to have worked for anyone I know of in a while.Time to shelve (shelf?) that theory perhaps?
    -Maybe I can’t make everyone happy and I should just strive to make myself happy?
    - Maybe, just maybe, your continuous going on and on and on about your wonderful, fantastic, stupendous and oh so fabulous life as compared to you losers just might cause even the most morally fibrous folks to indulge in a heap of happy-when-you-stumble schadenfreude?

  9. Maybe I should start trusting my instincts

    I think most of us semi-rational folks know when something isn’t right. Making use of your common sense will save you mounds of hurt feelings and drama. Why do we listen to the voices that tell us to do dumb sh*t and not the ones that tell you to RUN, FAST, DON”T LOOK BACK

  10. I honestly had a “voila!” moment last night around 10:30. I immediately reached for the phone to call my girl to share it but realized it was 10:30 and she prolly didn’t wanna hear my drama just before bed.

    “Maybe I don’t need to ruin his life by divulging to his gf all the nasty sh*t he’s been doing behind her back. Maybe I should just let him ruin his relationship on his own, as he undoubtedly will, and I’ll just stay on the sidelines and not let any of the nasty drama splatter off on me in the process.”

    Being the vengeful person that I am, it’s gonna be difficult, but I felt such clarity when that thought came to me last night that it almost, ALMOST rendered VSB obsolete right here in my humble abode.

    • @VLogan,

      Maybe I don’t need to ruin his life by divulging to his gf all the nasty sh*t he’s been doing behind her back. Maybe I should just let him ruin his relationship on his own, as he undoubtedly will, and I’ll just stay on the sidelines and not let any of the nasty drama splatter off on me in the process.”

      ummm, please expound

      • @The Champ,

        Expound you say? It’s not pretty but…

        I’m involved in (and looking to end) a relationship that has two other ppl in it. Him and his gf. She’s clueless. My “voila” moment came when I decided not to blow the cover off his operation and just exit sans drama. He deserves nothing less than having his life ruined for lying to all of us (me, her and himself) but…

        • @VLogan,

          He deserves nothing less than having his life ruined for lying to all of us (me, her and himself) but… .

          Soooo you didn’t know he had a gf before yall hooked up? You said he has a gf….but you didn’t say you were a gf.

          • @The Champ,

            She’s been in the picture all along. He hasn’t admitted to me that she’s his gf. I’m supposed to believe they’re just dating, ignoring the piles of evidence that suggests otherwise.

            For him to think that he can get away with the philandering unharmed simply galls me. But like I said….no need for me to get his sh*t all over my clothes when it explodes.

    • @VLogan,

      I’d add to that, many “other woman” calls do NOT end well with both chicks taking a skillet upside dude’s head. It’s like a powder keg of drama, no matter who initiates contact.

      Story: My friend lied and told some dude she was pregnant so that he’d stop calling her. His girl found the text message and called my friend. So my friend being the a*hole she is (I love this bish) tells his girl “Yeah I’m pregnant and the baby is your man’s”. So dude is in the backg’d pleading with the girl. The girl is crying in Spanglish all dramatic. And my homie is all “I know he betta make that court date next week!”. LMAO!! The best part? She never even slept with this dude! They met like a week prior to all this! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! I still laugh about this isht.

      • @Cheekie,

        This is one that I need to apply to my own life: STFU. I’ve come to realize that most of my toughest problems have come from my hopeless inability to STFU. *scratches head and continues to run mouth*

        • @Me fail english?,

          I’ve come to realize that most of my toughest problems have come from my hopeless inability to STFU.

          Yes oh yes. No wonder you are my e-twin ED.

          Just yesterday, I put my two feet and the two feet of my manager in my tiny mouth (ewww at the visual) talking to the Audit folks…. and now I have to find a way to undo the damage I have done… and just learn to STFU!

  11. Maybe…relationships aren’t for you.

    I shouldn’t compare my relationship/S.O./boo etc. to my friends. You don’t know what they had to go through to get where they are.

    Maybe if I bring $1′s home, my boo will strip for me. Then I get to touch without gettin tossed out like Jazzy Jeff

    Maybe all my divorced or single guy friends areN’T the best repository of relationship advice

  12. “I should stop performing up to my high standards because…perhaps he really WON’T satisfy my sexual fantasies.”

    This goes out to all the ladies who give more action than they receive in the bed….YES, the lollipop is good but make him taste the brownie FIRST ladies!!!!

  13. “Maybe him withholding the words ‘I love you’ isn’t as important as the actions he’s taken to show that he cares (i.e. spending extended amounts of time together, cooking for you, meeting the family, giving tokens of appreciation, introducing you to his friends, etc.)”

    “Maybe I shouldn’t open up about past sexual experiences too soon and expect my S.O. to stick around”

    “Maybe I shouldn’t seek advice from my mother/friends about my relationship issues and simply try to communicate my worries/issues/concerns to my S.O. (first and foremost)”

    “Maybe I should chill and not get too excited about the new S.O. within that preliminary 4-6 months, because if it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to explain to family/friends why yet another relationship has bitten the dust…”

    “Maybe I should stop being concerned about how well a S.O. looks on paper and pay more attention to how well he treats me as his woman”

  14. Big co-sign on #2! This is the reason I don’t talk about my relationships to other women and wish I knew this when I started dating.

    Other things I’ve learned/seen:
    - a guy will never change no matter how much you try
    - don’t expect your partner to be perfect when you have flaws

  15. …maybe the fact that he doesn’t want me up under him 24/7 does not mean he’s cheating.

    …maybe he wants “me” time is an indication that I’m smothering him and should back the hell up.

    …maybe he/she won’t return my calls because he/she is simply not interested.

    …maybe if I didn’t dominate the conversation talking about me he’d call more often. (…if we’ve been on our first phone conversation for an hour and I still know nothing about him, maybe I talk too much.)

    …maybe the reason he only calls me late at night to come over doesn’t mean he’s just a busy person who’s still trying to make our relationship work.

    …maybe the fact that we’ve dated for a year and I haven’t been to his house indicates something ain’t right.

    …maybe if his mom doesn’t like me and makes hurtful statements like “I don’t know why you’re messing with a married man” means he really might be married…especially since in our 13 years together he’s left me at the alter once, then cancelled our wedding trip to Jamaica a few years afterwards.

    …perhaps he wasn’t telling the entire truth when he said that the reason his name appears in the county records as married to ole girl was because he needed his mom to think he was married so they only filled out the paperwork but didn’t get married.

  16. I have a few;

    - Maybe sleeping with my ex’s sister isn’t such a good idea after all.

    -She looks like shes 22, but she still tYpEs LiKe ThIs, maybe she’s not telling the truth about her age.

    -Perhaps I should delete those naughty pics my ex girlfriend sent me, wouldn’t want my girl seeing them (I wish I would have had this epiphany a few years ago, smh)

  17. - Maybe I should stop frontin about wanting a “good church going girl” that is Marie Luv behind closed doors.

    Let’s face it folks…a super religious girl always ends up being lame…don’t believe the hype…she’s just trying to hook you. And then God will tell her that penus is ugly and her mouth should not be close to it.

    Yall killed me with that…quit saying that shat outloud before you persuade other women to join your damn cause.

    • @atltx,
      “Let’s face it folks…a super religious girl always ends up being lame…don’t believe the hype…she’s just trying to hook you. And then God will tell her that penus is ugly and her mouth should not be close to it.”

      You’ve obviously hooked up with the wrong church girls…lol

      lol, this literally made me spit my rum and coke on my screen

  18. “Maybe my ‘telling him something about himself’ isn’t really necessary and is pushing him away from me, especially since he didn’t ask.”

    “Maybe my giving it up to him isn’t a good bargaining tool to get him to take me out to dinner. He still hasn’t.”

    “Maybe if I wasn’t such an annoying harpie and tried to listen, he won’t have a reason to act like I never existed.”

    “Perhaps he didn’t want all of the stuff I bought him and the subliminal suggestion that what I gave him was what I actually wanted didn’t register with him?”

    “That Ultimatum didn’t go over well. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t return my calls.”

  19. *weighing in now, seeing other comments later*

    “You know, falling back from dating until my sh*t’s together and I can ‘do it right’ probably isn’t a bad idea.”

    And ladies, don’t think this one should only be what men think.

    + re: #4. My perfectly good-looking ex is one of the victims. (Her actual looks aren’t the reason we’re not together, but the following has a lot to do with it.) I’ve heard her whine ’nuff times about some douchebag she’d run into on the field talking about he’d spit if she had cartoon features like some super video vixen/King model I’d have a better shot at than they would. I don’t need women I like just fine projecting what the next dude said on me.

    • @Stuff Ghetto People Like,

      That self esteem stuff really gets me too. If I hear “you’re too good for me” or “why are you dating me and not some girl with x, y, and z” enough times, I will start believing it myself.

      • @kamakula,

        “That self esteem stuff really gets me too. If I hear ‘you’re too good for me’ or ‘why are you dating me and not some girl with x, y, and z’ enough times, I will start believing it myself.”

        Hell, I have started believing it. It becomes a silly little Jedi-mind trick that almost always ends in fail for them. For instance I’ve had women take themselves out of the runnings because

        “You like big titties, I don’t have big titties.”
        and the biggest killer:

        “You prolly would be better off with a white girl based on your interests and how you think/talk.” Very well then…where da white girls at since this is your assumption?

        • @CPT Callamity,

          I’m tripping over these commments…dayum. You guys have actually heard broads telling ya’ll this type of thing?
          Unbelieveable.

          • @miss t-lee,

            The big boobs part is true because I was dealing with someone who was only a B…a cute and perky B, but she knew I usually liked C and better.

            And yes, the white girl thing is true. When I mentioned my interest to a few women and just remained myself, they swore that I probably would jive better with a white girl. I hardly find myself involved or attracted to white women.

          • @miss t-lee,

            Yeah. I dont know what’s making me a sadder panda…my suspicion that the girls dont sincerely believe what they’re saying and are fishing for compliments, 6th grade style (lame!) or that they really are the world’s worst salespeople like old Gil from the Simpsons (funny…but lame!).

          • @miss t-lee,

            She said to me, “You talk like you date white women.” When she realized I listen to alternative and rock, it was over.

            As to the boobs comment, cosign.

          • @miss t-lee,

            Seriously! Like I am reading this with such an air of disbelief, my boss might be thinking that he gave too hard a task…

            Broads actually say this? How old are we talking here?

        • I just wanted to chime in on this (all late n ish) but I have heard this too.
          One girl I was madly in love with told me she wasn’t good enough for me because she wasn’t earning enough money.
          Then another girl told me that I would be better suited for a white woman because of my interests and how I spoke.
          I didn’t think this was real till I saw someone else say (ahem, type) it.

  20. He’s great, wonderful, and all that but maybe the fact that he’s 30 and home with mom is a red flag and a big reason why he’s single…and why no one else in their right mind (but you) want him. Voila!

    Hummm…maybe I should stop frontin’ and realize (like others already have) I don’t have all the quality options like I thought. Voila!

  21. “5. “damn. another month has passed without a single man approaching me. i probably should try this new ‘sileing‘ or ‘miling‘ or whatever facial expression thing everybody keeps raving about.””

    On the flip side of this, since the VSBrethren are all about crimefighting and whatnot, can ya’ll invent some smiling detector or something so that every man doesn’t think a smile is an invite to the pantalones? Sometimes a smile is just a polite one?

    “can you think of any more inner “voila” statements that could make the dating and relationship game much easier?”

    1. Maybe I should get the eff over myself.
    2. There is no “change we can believe in” when it comes to a man. If I want to change him, I don’t want him.
    3. Hmm, maybe having 10 babies with 15 baby mamas is not what’s parching on the pavement unless my boo is named “The Learning Channel” and/or “Maury Povich”.
    4.Maybe “[insert word here] deez” is the right comeback to any relationship argument and/or convo. For example:

    Woman: Boy, I called you 50-lem times today? Where you been at? Why you ain’t call me?
    Man: 50-lem deez.

    OR
    Man: Hey, boo, I’m home. Tired as all get out. What’s for dinner?
    Woman: Dinner deez.

    It might solve a lot of relationship mishaps. *Kanyeshrug*

      why dont you help us out. which one is which?

      • @The Champ,

        This ain’t a definitive guide (as folks have all kinds of smiles and whatnot), but a nice little A-B-C formula to go by is:

        A. Tight-lipped smile: Just being polite. The kind there your lips are mushed together. 2520s do this a lot to Black folk when passing them by in the hallway. It says, “I acknowledge you even though I’ont really know you”

        B. Regular smile: Could be, “Hey, I know YOU! Nice to see you!” or “I don’t hate you and would like to be your friend” or even “I don’t know you, but you seem nice”.

        C. Smile w/teeth or otherwise huge smile equipped with bedroom eyes: “I want you to sperminate me.”

        95% of ninjas interpret A, B, and/or C to all mean the exact same thing, which is C’s meaning.

        • @Cheekie,

          Haha. Last night I was at the club and saw a dude I went to HS with. So I smile and wave him over to confirm that it’s him. Did the small talk thing (How are you? Who you here with?) and was ready to cut the convo short when dude starts all grabbing my arm and tryna make a night of it. Uh…maybe it was cuz I was drunk and I look frisky love this word; makes me feel 80) when I drink but…no. Ima need brothas to act like they’re used to friendly women even if they’re not. lol!

          • @Me fail english?,

            Ima need brothas to act like they’re used to friendly women even if they’re not. lol!

            And that’s the part! Lol! Based on yesterday’s post, you and I know friendly broads are a bit of a rarity… Lol! No wonder they get all excited. :)

          • @Sula,

            “And that’s the part! Lol! Based on yesterday’s post, you and I know friendly broads are a bit of a rarity… Lol! No wonder they get all excited. ”

            You know what, you ain’t neva lied. Po’ thangs probably look at a smile like, “What is that strange emotion? It’s…it’s…HOT AS HELL. *looney tune gaga eyes*”

  22. maybe i should stop pretending that i have my sh*t together and my life is all peaches and cream, to get my ex jealous and make him see what he’s missing

    maybe what ppl say about never getting over your first love is nothing but a crock of sh*t that poisons your mind and leaves you stuck in a 4 yr rut

  23. Maybe when you text him and tell him that you think he is; wonderful, and special and he means the world to you , and that you would be really hurt if he was no longer in your life. And he texts back ” Yeah you sexy, juicy, fine and very wet” .. Umm ya’ll aint on the same page and it’s time to move on- Voila!

  24. “if i had a dollar for every woman i’ve known who’s attracted to shady dudes and needed consolation after he did some shady sh*t to her, i’d have at least 11 f*cking dollars.”

    this made me giggle. thank you champ, you made my day :-)

  25. My Sunday night voila…(a “re”piphany)

    …perhaps if every time she calls you, she wants to go out to some fancy show, order a bottle of wine and two entrees while you know that if she went solo or with her girls she wouldn’t do the same- and on top of that, she asks you to drop her off at the front gate and she’ll walk to her apartment without giving you so much as a kiss on the cheek, she’s probably sticking you for yo paper. Either stop answering her damn calls or redirect her to cook you dinner!! :(

  26. Maybe when he says he’s not ready for a relationship and is not sure if he’ll ever get married again, his real intentions are to add you to the rotation and die a single dirty old man.

  27. I just wanna say I’m very pleased with all the new VSS and VSB that came out the lurk for this one today. Check out the blog lmbao.org

    And Champ I think you need a “C” to your number 1. I mean even if I got Oprah pregnant right now, I think I’ll be on some “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Lemme die now!!!” Ok maybe not with oprah but you know someone pretty desirable to have a baby with nonetheless

  28. The first one is sooo true. My mother always said pick the father of your children carefully, so yea don’t have sex with a guy you wouldn’t want to be a father to your child.

    But anyways, if he only texts/calls after 10pm then he really isn’t looking for a relationship.

    On the flip side, if he texts/calls every hour and throws a hissy fit if you don’t answer within 10mins. then he could just be kinda crazy or controlling.

  29. Excuse me sir…I sure did think that you were a woman. I must say though…you are breaking all types and kinds of man law. Like seriously man…nothing but brotherly love here…but…saying it’s not right to know a stripper’s first name and complaining about us as men desiring womb too much is like complaining about swolen labia or something.

    Plus…you brought up another dude’s name that acts as if though he wears slips and frequents the MAC counter…without being forced to go there by his lady.

    I’m just saying…I apologize for thinking that you were a woman.

  30. These are friggin’ hilarious! I’m glad I work from home cause I’ve been laughing too damn hard at these.

    How about if he actually changes his address across state lines after I move to his city to be with him, then maybe he really didn’t mean, “If only you lived near me girl.”

    *True story, but that is not mine, it is Nietzche’s*

  31. This is gonna first time for me sooooo I got few:
    “Maybe I should stop being so insecure and realizes that he/she wants to be me even though I don’t have a body like trey songz or ass like a KING model.”

    “Mayb women aren’t attracted to me wearing tight, bright-ass colored, sagging off my ass jeans. And notice H&M makes clothes for my black-ass to wear.”

    “Maybe if I shave and clean my balls more she would be more willingly to do oral”

    I heard the last to in a round-table discussion between men and women at before i graduated
