Moldy Men

around after about two weeks. Eventually it starts to get that moldy smell, and soon the spores sprout and mold forms. It not only happens to bread, but just about anything if you let it sit around long enough.
Have you ever met a man that you weren’t immediately attracted to? You hang out a few times, but you still can’t say that he’s someone you can see yourself involved with? Even though he seems to have everything going for him, there’s just something that isn’t giving you that immediate feeling of attraction. It could be either his looks, something about his personality, maybe his head is too big for his neck, or he’s just an inch shorter than what you’re used to?
There have been several times in the span of my dating career (yeah, I call it a career b/c it’s hard ass work sometimes) where that initial attraction wasn’t there, but I said to myself, “Maybe, I’ll just see what happens”.
Now, not to sound superficial, but the initial attraction to me is always purely physical. So needless to say, my moldy men have included men who instead of having a six pack, may have had a keg, instead of having smooth perfect skin, may have had a few razor bumps, instead of having a perfect set of teeth, usually had either a set that could have belonged to a rabbit, or something with a gap as big as the Suez Canal.
If only these men realized from the get-go, that I was making concessions for them, because of something that I may have saw in their personality. Maybe I should have shown them photos of my past boyfriends, which included the ‘model’ types, because maybe, just maybe if I did, then their egos would have not superseded their aesthetically challenged looks.
Aesthetically challenged. That’s right. No one alive cannot tell me that the initial attraction to someone IS NOT purely physical. So don’t even act as if I’m lying. If you’re walking down the street and you see someone you don’t know, best believe it’s not their mind that reels you in. That’s a whole ‘nother blog all together.
Anywho, back to the subject at hand.
I was talking to a cousin of mine the other day, and we realized that all of the “Moldly Men” we have dated, whether it took their looks to grow on us or their personality, it backfired in the worst ways! Some of these men turned out to be some of the biggest shitholes ever. I half seriously and half jokingly told her that I refuse to get suck in by someone who I think could grow on me.
For now on, if there isnt’ that immediate attraction, be it physical or mental, I’m not going to let them grow on me like mold , but fold them away like an old outfit that I never plan on wearing again. Because in the long run, I think I’d rather go about my life knowing that if I happened to break up with someone or vice versa, it was someone who there was that immediate ‘click’ with, not with someone that I had to make concessions for.

Moldy men are poison. They get into your system and EFF it up BIG time. I remember dating a guy when I was in Omaha, Nebraska (former Air Force). GURL, he had a body of a GOD. However, from the neck up…we don’t even need to go there. BUT HONEY CHILE, that man GREW on me. He actually gave me my first ORGASM! Yes, CHILE! He turned out to be the biggest a$$hole I ever met. Arrogant son of a b*tch. I don’t need to go the EPA for help in getting rid of MOLDY men. It’s simple, there definitely has to been a physical attraction AND he has to stimulate my mind. I can look at a pretty face all day long but can I hold an intelligent conversation with him? So there you have it…Yashieks DOESN’T want any MOLDY MEN!

i have the exact same story as yasheika right down to him being the first one to give me the big O… it was one of my brothers friends… only he didnt have the nice body so much… it was alright… but far from what one would classify as nice!
and he was ugly as f*ck! lol… not that imma prize winner or anything myself… but at least i have a kind face lol… he had a huge nose… and it had a bump in it … and bigish ears… and his hair was yucky too now that i think of it… but i didnt see all that then??? he had a great personality… or so i thought… how the hell do we ber blinded like that??
anyways… long story short… hes a jerk… now i hate him! YA I HATE HIM! and he knows it cuz i told him and anyone who would listen that i hated him! lol i never gave up details why… im not even sure he knows… the IDIOT… sometimes guys are so oblivious.
yeah mold is bad…
and i agree… attraction is always initially physical… unless ur like… internet dating and you dont get to see them or something until after their mold is all over your mental i suppose??? but i wouldnt know…. i have never internet dated nor do i plan to.

Not to disagree with the idea of the “moldy man”, but how many times have we opened the fridge, reached for the wonder bread saw the mold and put it back in the fridge? Is it there fault for being moldy or ours for not throwing out the damn bread to begin with?

Hmmm…
I’m sensing that I’m gonna be the only man to respond to this. So in true defender of all MANkind, I think its appropriate for me to say that you’re full of yourself Yesha(LOL). You talk about moldy men, but last time I checked there are more cottage cheese chicks aka spoiled milk females running around than there are “moldy men”. Why you say that RiPPa? Because there are always women running around with baggage and hate, or contempt for men. They even make songs and movies about it(LOL). Those women I will now refer to (because of this blog) as women with yeast infections…
hee hee
But thats cool…
there are plenty of starving kids in Africa who would die for some moldy bread.
CTFU@me being the defender of beer bellied men like myself.

why would you say more? it’s all relative i suppose. i’m not necessarily talking about baggage, but more so character flaws or physical flaws, that a person normally wouldn’t deal with..but occasionally both men/women make special exceptions..and then end up getting bit in the ass in the end.

my girlfriend in hs used to have this theory—that ugly men treated you better. well after having dating one for a few years, that theory quickly went out the door. he was just as bad, if not worse than her more attractive ex-boyfriends.
