It’s the little things
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A couple of guys I have dated admitted that they checked me out way before I even realized it. A few tell me they have noticed how I carry myself in public, the type of foods I eat, my exercise habits, the type of drinks I order, and even my movie and book selections. Even when a guy inquires about what is in my ipod, he is checking me out!
I tease my buddy Panama all the time about noticing the most random things about women. He will observe a particular quirky trait and deduct all sorts of things about her. He insisted that he knows the type of woman that would mesh well with him. He doesn’t think he could be with a girl that doesn’t smile easily, share his love of real hip-hop music, or would take issue with his many female friends. I told him he is dangerously close to becoming Seinfeld - ruling women out over ridiculously small things - but to him these little things matter a lot because it all relates to compatibility.
So ladies, men pay attention to more than we think they do. They may not have rigid checklists like some women are notorious for, but they definitely want someone that complements them too. They really notice a woman’s community involvement, interest in the world around her, and a lot of the times the nature of her work.
What can you really tell about a person from the little things?
I think men and women both are attracted to people who share common things but some single people consider some things the standard requirements to be met first before they dig deeper.
Guys do you think you would rule out a woman based on a few observations?
Ladies, what seemingly small things do you think could actually matter a lot later on?
What shouldn’t matter because it’s not important in terms of a long-term relationship?
How do we avoid sweating the small stuff in dating?
Is it really compatibility we seek or do we want a clone?

Bald guys get a bad wrap, hair is not that important for guys. I would rather have a sweet bald guy then a jerk with a head full of hair!

Good Morning good people…..well, in my lil humble opinion, it all depends on maturity and what you’re seeking….if you’re in your roaring 20’s, then methinks you’re not even too sure as to what you waqnt, because you’re still figuring yourself out, but once you reach, say 30’s, as Jay-Z said, you mature and grow up…so in my grown up years, yeah, the small stuff can get a gal disqualified….like….I’m a guy, why do my nails look better than yours? ….ummm, if you’re over 30 you should have a greater command of the english language, not just the common slang…umm, you don’t have to be fastidiously neat and clean, but if you invite me over, please clean up…but yes, we do look and pay attention to the small stuff, I do, at least.

Good Mornig All
I am always intrigued by people, male and female, who have a giant laundry list of things they ‘want/don’t want’ in a potential SO. People have the right to seek whatever they want (by the way, that is the right to SEEK whatever they want, not necessarily GET it…there is a major difference). I think half of the fun is unveiling the other person (literally and figuratively), a layer at a time, with no goals, just curiosity.
In a negative way, I used to notice the giant laundry list that new divorcees have…of everything they REFUSE to have in a new person, when they could be much better served changing themselves. People should spend more time inventorying themselves rather than others, but I guess no one asked my opinion on that.
So, do I check women out, absolutely, but not for ‘redflags’, but for neat little quirks or things I find interesting or intriguing.

@Wise Lurker and others
I have always sat back and people watched, but I really watch women, esp. ones I am interested in for about 15-30 minutes, before I make a move!
I do this, because I always felt that it is important to see a person in their natural state, before you see their presentation state.
Reason is, it is important to see the little things they do,when they don’t feel that they are being watched, such as how they treat other men that might be trying to holla, how they carry them selves, their body language,etc.
The small details mean a lot with alot of men, esp. men with any type of class!
I would guess in a typical evening, more than 30 percent of people fail to meet a great mate, because of the little things that they “don’t do” or their body language.
I have passed on many females, because of observation.

Great post and very true.
At parties, I do the same thing, watch and observe a lot. It is fascinating how you can watch a lady who seems so confident, so secure, but when she thinks no one is looking, she lowers her guard and you see the insecurity in her eyes and face…then she puts the ‘mask’ back on when other walk up. By the way, this is not necessarily a good or bad thing to me, just an observation. What I tend to look for is attractiveness, coupled with honesty, not a “presentation” as LL has so aptly framed it. As I have said before, to me vulnerability and transparency are turnons…someone else can deal with the “Superwomen”, I don’t have the patience.

Goodmorning Everybody!!
I, too, am an observer. I’m not usually looking for a list of don’ts, but moreso the things I find attractive (like a certain confidence-not to the point of arrogance, chivalry, respect for others-young and old, use of language-or the lack thereof). And yes, men do pay attention (to more than just T & A, more than some women think).

Ladies, what seemingly small things do you think could actually matter a lot later on?
I think that once you get past the initial attraction stage, you have to start looking for things that matter most to you. I’m with RandyT, when I hear the laundry list of things, it cracks me up. Every one of us has some kind of disqualifying trait if someone were to look hard enough, maybe four or five of them. But real compatibility TO ME lies in shared values and similar goals.
If you’re looking for someone who gets their nails done every week, that’s very specific, but you can find that. If you’re looking for someone who takes generally good care of themselves, that’s more vague, but widens your pool greatly.
Now that I’m older, I guess that what I try to do is find out what really matters to me—-big, global things, like does he know God, does he have gainful employment, what does he value, what does he want from life, how is his character, what is his relationship like with him family, does he drink excessively, etc. Even if he doesn’t like my favorite type of music or has different taste in food, if he is a good person in the ways that matter to me, then he gets a shot. He might teach me something or introduce me to something I never would have thought of before. The differences are what make things exciting anyway.

Morning Bloggers,
Interesting topic…. I’m w/Randy. I use to try & dig & unfold all the likes & dislikes but right now I’m in a realtionship where I dont care to find these things out. I’m just unfolding these things as we go & I must say it’s much more pleasing!!!
In my recent days, my main thing W/men were your kids. If you had any & if so what siginificant roles do you play in their life. # 1……..
Then, the cleaness, bad habits like gambling, smoking or drinking, your speech & how well you behave in public.
@LL..I like that “PRESENTATION STATE”
It’s funny cause a guy I dated months back noticed in all of 2 months that I was “DEMANDING” He said he picked that up by the way I kept my house. & I will say I keep it VERY, VERY oragnize. But it amazed me that he noticed cause I never did.

Good Morning All,
I agree with 2CPTG with age comes change and with change comes more or less intolerance on the small things depending on the person. I know that as I age I have less tolerance for certain behaviors and more tolerance for others than I did say 5 or 6 years ago. I am a big observer of people in general, I don’t judge on what a guy does, we all have habits and quirks, so if he sucks his teeth or bites his nails I am not likely to rule him out, but I always listening to what a guy has to say. If he is 30-45 and still has yet to grasp the English language..problem.

Good Morning,
In general, I prefered to see the trees for the forest (or forest for the trees), the overall picture. Everyone potential woman/man is going to have at least one trait, behavior, mannerism, etc. that does not agree with their suitor. When I was in the process of getting to know someone, I expected for them to do things that I would not necessarily care for. As I do things they would not care for. Those small things make us individuals, who have had different experiences. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, if you can live with those things.
However, I do have a few things that I cannot overlook. One is hygeine. There is no reason, ever, that hygeine should be with an issue with an adult, ever. The second is tolerance of others. If you cannnot accept people not like you, where would I possibley stand? The final thing is (a bit superficial), have to have a decent pair of shoes. I blame this one on my grandmother. I remember being five years old scrubbing my shoelaces, because I could not go outside to play if I had dirty shoelaces!

hey QC…..only way you’re truly going to see someone in their natural state, is to see them at home! LL, I agree, you gotta people watch to catch ‘em off guard, so to speak…..but even with that, you gotta have a keen eye….some folks been practicing their act for so long, they’ve even convinced themselves of their mess……..this chic was proclaiming how religious and spiritual she was and all that….chic didn’t even know what denomination her church was, nor what it meant!

Very good topic today Diva
I’ve mentioned before that, in a manner of speaking, I have tested women on a date. While that has a negative connotation, it has a very practical application.
For example: If I am looking for someone who can be a co-pilot in our relationship who goes with the flow, it isn’t a bad idea to see how they react (or what plans pop up) when there is nothing on the itinerary for the evening. To see how they react is priceless. Because ultimately I know if they can’t make plans, or have to have every single thing planned, I know they aren’t for me.
That is just one example; there are many other examples like that that determine compatibility (shout out to the e-harmony guy for compatibility!).
I myself don’t want a clone though I am clear on a lot of my wants/needs, and for sure, what I don’t want. The list is not iron clad, but etched in my mind after years of dating experience.
So women -take note- us men are more observant than you think. Sometimes we play possum just to see what you’ll do (as I’m sure the ladies do to us guys). Men these days pay a lot more attention to detail!

What up Blog:
I can’t say i have a list or anything set in stone, but we need to have some common interests. Usaully discovered early on in the “ritual”. I am truly attracted to women who are unaware of themselves. The ones who are attractive well beyond the surface.
As for ruling them out. If I can hear so over the music, conversation, or whatever, your off the list. I can’t stand a woman who has a big mouth, anybody with a look at me personality is a turn off.

Whitebread told me that he watched me for a long time as I went in and out of the bank every week. Even made a point to go every Wednesday because he knew I would be there. He says he noticed my walk first and he paid attention to my stance while waiting in line. Then he watched how I folded my arms, how I used my middle finger to push my hair back behind my ears. He noticed how I always spoke to the person that was already standing in line when I walked up and how I was always very pleasant with the tellers. He even figured out what my favorite color is from what I wore.
He claims that I smiled at him one day and that’s when he decided to make his move. But I don’t remember ever smiling at HIM…I am just generally a courteous person. Looking back now his people (“Raqi”) watching makes it feel like he was stalking me. LOL

The mirror is always your truth teller. It’s recognizing the faults that you have so you can accept faults in others that makes relationships and life a lot easier. Nobody is perfect, we just have to learn acceptance. For those women out there who demand a,b,c,d,e,f,g, in a relationship, I wish you the best of luck but it won’t be me…

B & B
Height is an issue, spoken or unspoken for almost all ‘taller’ woman. I don’t even approach a woman who is taller than me anymore, and not for my sake, but for theirs. I dated a female attorney for awhile that was 5’ 11” (I’m 5’ 9”), nice lady, but I finally voluntarily moved into the FZ. Height was never an issue with me (got dumped by a midget once, now that was an embarassment I have to admit), but height is almost always an issue with women.

@2CPTG - You are absolutely right. I agree with you about the hangups. But, not making up any excuses, i couldn’t remember how tall or short he was. We met once and talked on the phone all the other times. One reason i invited him to the party was too shed light on the matter. I honestly thought i could handle it….but, i can’t. The sad thing about it he really likes me, and he can’t understand why i’m not returning the feelings. I tell him, i like you, i just have some hangups. Now, that’s the truth!

little things i notice right away in conversation is how the guy speaks about family and family relations. if the ex-wife or momma is brought up in the first convo, there are definitely issues..lol. lack of eye contact is also a biggie. if you can’t look me in the eye, i can’t talk to you.

Musing That is stupidly hilarious!!! I hate to see people doing ish in the car and swerving all over the place! I’ve had several people swerving all in my lane these past few days, only to look up and see their dumb azzes on the phone - and I’m not talking about handsfree, I mean with the phone to their ear!! I need a special sign that says, “Hang up the dayum phone!!” lol

B & B, well, now you have to take your honesty a step further, and let buddy know…just don’t string him along…. unless, y’all got some other grown folks thangs going on, and he’s a viable asset…
Raqi, you said, “I think people do it hoping the person will grow on them is some way or the other. Or it could be an attempt to overcome those hang ups via time spent. Maybe?”…..nah boo, you can’t change grown folks…..I’ve always said, compatibility= how much, for how long….how much can you deal with, and how long? some of those non-compromising things….like height, for some folks…you simply can’t change…keep it honest, and keep it movin’….

I certainly don’t want a clone, for my faults are too numerous to name. However, compatibility is crucial in a relationship and very often “little things,” are much more than little things. They are symbolic of much larger things.
I want a woman with a degree of intelligence, ambition, civic responsibility, wit and to a lesser extent, a nice azz. Okay, I’m lying, a nice azz is really important.
If at any point in a conversation, she uses the words, or non-words, “irregardless,” or “conversate,” she’s got to go. A woman who uses those non-words probably doesn’t possess the major qualities I want.
However, irregardless of her word usage, if she has a really really nice azz, we can conversate all day or preferably all night. A brother may have standards, but he’s no fool.

While we are on the subject of who we approach, I tend to avoid athlete types, marathon runners, etc., for exactly the same reason I do not typically approach really tall women (by the way, none of these are hard and fast rules, just general guidelines). Why waste my time and someone els’s if I am not what they need or want? As Clint Eastwood said in one of the “Dirty Harry” movies…”a man’s got to recognize his limitations”. It still leaves plenty to choose from.

So if it’s not to “give it a chance”, what else could it be? True you can’t change grown people. So for what other reason is there? Could it be just to have some one to go out with at that time? Hell I don’t know. You would think people would be honest with themselves and the other person, but as we continue to read….

Just to elaborate on the “Unaware” statement. Let’s say evrything is cool for her, a regular day.
On a regular day she smiles because she’s a nice woman, she speaks to everyone and brightens their day, confident in herself, always says what needs to be said, but does it respectfully. When you ask about her, men say, she’s cool as hell and down to earth, other women compliment her too…you know how they knock each other, so this makes her really special..LOL She take compliments at face value and don’t perceive them as a dude running a game; and with all this going on, she was just being herself.
B&B If its the height thing, don’t tell’em, he’ll really upset if he knows the only reason you can’t do it is the height, probably got a complex already.
Now that everybody’s here: hey Mocha Choco, Kinder,Slim,QC,Foots, Raqi, Tazzee, all the lovlie.

Of course we all have hangups, we’re human. Sometimes we try to challenge ourselves to see if the hangups are valid….or just superficial. I know now that a man who is shorter than me will not work for me….mostly because of the Napolean Complex that comes with it. Also, a man who’s younger than me probably won’t have much in common with me - unless he’s very mature for his age. I will not tolerate a man who has no discretion for children (meaning you can’t say and do anything in a childs’ presence). And a big hellz no for me is a man with several cut buddies (if he’s hitting all of his so called friends, I’m turned off)!

And no, there’s nothing else going on. I don’t think i can do that either. @Chocolate Peach - How did you do it? How were you able to overlook their height? I have tried, and it’s not working for me.

bold & beautiful I follow this rule about telling somebody why I can’t date them: If it’s something they could change or improve upon for the next woman, I’ll be more likely to tell him the truth. If it’s something he can’t do a thing about, like his height, I don’t say anything or devise an alternate explanation.
Maybe that’s wrong, but I just think about what I’d want someone to tell me. Telling me that I’m disqualified for something I can’t change would probably bother me.

bold But then again, do you HAVE to tell him anything? It’s your right to choose to date anybody for any reason. And if you choose not to date him because it’s Monday and you don’t like dating folks on Monday, then that’s your right too.
I guess that the question is: Do you really owe someone an explanation, esp if the parting is because of personal preference? Can you just say, “I can’t date you for personal reasons” and leave it at that? Or would that just open up 6 million more questions from the dumped?

B&B, Tell ‘em his breath smell like lil men with shyt on their boots are dancing on his tongue, but not the height thing.

SlimOne One of the things I’ve learned that helped me to “keep it moving” was to learn which questions to ask and when to stop asking questions. If I say to dude, “So, why didn’t things work out between us?” and he honestly answers, “cause your azz wasn’t big enough” that’s not helpful to me. Basically, if I can judge from the situation if ANY answer he gives won’t satisfy me, I won’t even ask the question. I just take it that he wasn’t the one and keep it moving. When I was younger, I used to have those “WHY AND CRY” sessions trying to find out all the reasons. Until I thought to myself “Hey!! For whatever reason, he doesn’t want me. What does it matter why? That should be enough info right there.”
But yeah, if dude is volunteering helpful information, like I need to clean out my ears or he doesn’t appreciate my sarcasm or something, then I’ll accept it. Personally, I just don’t like disclosing the real reasons, because you just run the risk of running into folks who will swear that they can change this or that if you give them something concrete to aim at or of giving them a complex if it’s something they can’t change.

You know, that bothered me about dating last summer… some of them wanted to know WHY I wasn’t asking them out again. Perhaps it’s my own clumsiness in being too nice to them on first dates, leading them to think I was more into them than I was. I really hated that part, it made me feel awful. Nobody wants to tell someone why they’re not interested.
I didn’t tell any of them why, not even the illegal immigrant that used someone else’s picture and had someone else make the phone calls… talk about a surprise on the first date! Online personals, whew. What a lot of liars!

I use the same line that is used on me…”you are a very nice person, but I have decided I can’t continue to see you. In the last few years I have dated a lot and have come to know what I am looking for. I think you will make the right person for you a very lucky someone”. Then run like hellz before you get the follow up questions.
It is dangerous sometimes to use trite expressions and worn out excuseds however, however. This weekend the subject of ‘marrrrrrrriage’ came up with my SO. To defuse (and change the subject) I said “I don’t see a rush, why should I buy the cow if I can get the milk for free?”. She replied “is that the same as why I should not have to buy the whole pig for just a little sausage”.

Women in Atlanta get very sensitive when you won’t date them because of their weight. I don’t want someone who is one the verge of being overweight or so-called “big-boned”. Because, once women are in a committed relationship, they pull the string and blow up.

Mark About the shoes, I think it’s just general upkeep. Like how it looks sloppy when a woman is all done up, but her shoes are raggedy, heel all eaten up and such. They might be great people having a bad shoe day or they just might not care that much about their appearance or they have too much going on to pay attention to such things. You won’t know until you actually meet them.
I like to see men in casual clothing, nice shirt or sweater and pants (slacks), with a belt. My boyfriend has a penchant for golf wear, so he’s usually sweater-vested down, but I like that type of style.

*Maybe there’s a little truth to the rumor that if people are happy in a relationship, they gain weight. *
The quarterback of my high school football team had this really big gal (her nickname was “Moby” so go figure) who had a nice face, and great personality, bus she was huge. She told him she was pregnant and he married her. Turns out that she wasn’t, she just pretended she was and gained some more weight to pretend. No one knew until nine months became ten, then eleven, then twelve. Sometime around thirteen or fourteen months, she really did get pregnant. Ahhh hellz, she did have a nice personality though.

@Foe Real…U R late. I have told that sad but hilarious story once but it’s cool I’ll tell U a quick version.
One day I get this Lonnnnnnggggg Mssg from t his guy on My Space he goes in & in how he thibks I’m pretty, seem cool to hang out with, etc. etc. anyway his mssg was so long but yet detailed & straight to the pointe. after goin back & forth with him I decided to pass my number whicj I NEVER do. I had NEVER used my Space as a dating tool until then. Anyway we talked via phone for weeks almost amonth until I decided to meet him one day.
Mind You we have talked about everything from the sun, also remember he has a My Space page that displays about 5-6 pics of him. Anyway , in all these convo’s I had yet to catch on to why he would always ask “Do U judge a book by his cover”? And my replay was I use to . it’s a bad habit of mine I’m trying to break, Anyway I decided to meet him for drinks & etc. We meet at a local walmart & I park next to hi s car he was on the phone when I drove up. We discusse dwhere we was goin * who was driving then I got out & jumpe d in his car.
So on the way he says after tonight you’re going to have a 100 questions & I say Why? U think I ask a lot of questions….he say’s No but U will tonight. We arrive at the bar & I get out lookin all FLYY…Checkin out da scene & myself at the same time wondering whatthe hel is taken him so long. I then walk over to chat w/a old co worker I hadnt seen in a while. Why when I turned around dude was rolling around in a wheel chair…………………………………………………………
There was a immdiate blow to the chest however I remained cool, didnt show out or anything. I was just so stunned that that had happen to me. How in dal hell out of 50 convo’s U failt o tell me you were handicapp.

Issue Hey mayne, that’s because you take half of a woman’s inner power of chi, when you tell her that you can’t hear a dayum thing that she’s comlaining about. You’re not living up to your full potential as sounding board at that point.
Fix for that: Quickly tell them that you keep a spare set of batteries for the hearing aid on you at all times so that will never be a problem.

Q Board: We have strong evidence that you’ve been driving a Miata…And we’re here to rectify the situation
MD: A Miata..Come on frat that’s not true.
Q Board: We need to look in the garage
Upon seeing the Miata in the garage, the board begins to Q Stomp the ishh outta his car….

I’m 48… but, there are plenty of 40+ chicks that keep themselves up and look great! And frankly, some snug jeans and a sweater can play to their better attributes more than dressier clothes can. I’d rather wear jeans myself, but I can’t, most of the time.

In spite of their deception, I think you’re showing a repugnant lack of compassion for those with disabilities. Their inability to tell you about them up front simply demonstrates that they know others will judge them by those disabilities. The sad part is that that guy thought that showing you some of his better qualities first, without knowledge of his being wheelchair-bound, would make any difference to you.

truth be known, i think both sexes have their own little lists. i get hit on a good bit from men. i have to say grace will win me over. so, i think we watch the body language to see if it is okay. as to a checklist, yea, small one:
able to hold up their end of a conversation
comfortable in their own skin- able to smile and be silly
stable
shared interest…you know what we all fall back on when the intial attraction fades a bit
most of all, a guy that has the right balance of together time and alone time (and not a cheater)
maybe a checklist it is, but it is true.

abc/chocolate Yeah that dude was sadly mistaken. That’s why you have to be you all of the time and if the other person doesn’t dig it… off to the next.
GA Dude oh yeah and the cost is 0.00 i got it covered.
That’s mighty big of you, but at least keep a tip jar, or provide a list of donation items. I don’t like to show up empty-handed.

@abc, Yeah, I bet. I had much compassion for him cause like I said I could have or should have went off.
Remember U only got piece of the story. We remained cool until he got wayy 2 needy & desparate & fired himself. I went out w/him a few times after the fact he FORGOT….to reveal his status. And I understood that. That’s why I kept my cool b/c he was or still is a nice guy just not 4 me.
Way to impatient & w/me Patience is definitely a virtue.
I’m out!! Great blog ladies & gents.
Peace ^ Chocolate out…….

off subject
Just went through the AJC website and noticed that Bobby Brown just got arrested again. Man, his nose and his reproductive organ are in a race to see which is going to cause him more trouble. I don’t blame him, but Whitney had about as much natural born talent as anyone, and what a waste it has become. I guess I am always a little amazed at how talent+success does not equal happiness.
