Ride off into the sunset

What is a quality you like the most in a man? Woman? Them?

I really enjoy friendly people.

My Dad always drilled that into our heads, be friendly! Don’t be snobby! I know I’ve said this here before but I think that’s how I ended up with that stalker in 2014.

Also, funnnnny people are such a treat to be around. I feel like there are fewer funny people these days. Is it just me? Is that true?

Not to get all “me too” movement on everybody this morning but I really appreciate it when a man gives a compliment that doesn’t feel creepy. Ladies, you know what I mean.

For example, certain male coworkers might say “I like that dress” or “that looks nice”, something of the sort and it’s like wow, they just pulled off giving a compliment in an absolutely not creepy way. I think when someone is being genuine, it just comes through.

I was thinking, ooh maybe it’s hard to be a man and worry about how a compliment to a woman will sound, maybe some just don’t bother but I guess I’d better watch how my compliments sound as well because I do compliment (both men and women).

In other news I’m back to black coffee this am and will fast until lunchtime. I really need to get back on the NO SUGAR wagon and ride off into the sunset on it.

I haven’t posted a selfie in a while but honestly I’m not a fan of my hair colour right now, my next appointment isn’t until Oct 27…so she was trying out the grey-blending thing but nope, I don’t want it, I want colour put on top of the grey

    i hear you on that point. i don’t understand people that are antisocial. it’s like: “ok, if you want to be sullen like that, then get your groceries delivered and do your errands in the morning when no one can see your nasty self”
    i was laughing at this thought but then – I realized…that’s me. lol ;D

    but i am friendly though! friendliness and being cooperative to a healthy degree is important – i’m totally with Dad on that point.

    I think a lot of this is due to recent history where everyone one is offended by everything.

    I think (hope) the key to giving a non-creepy compliment is not to make a big production out of it—to say, for example, “that’s a pretty scarf” without having it sound like a pickup line. Of course, sometimes the complimenter *wants* it to be a pickup line, and then it can get creepy fast if that’s not what the recipient wants.
