The Danger Zone.

Happy Thursday, folks.

Let's get to it.

Last week, I made the following comment:
Chances are she probably will take you back if you decide to come back after you spread more seeds than a botanical garden; especially if she's up around the danger zone (28 and up and still single/childless).



Ah, yes. The Danger Zone.


It's the time in life when the old biological clock starts ticking like it's on speed.
It's the time where it seems like you are the only single person left in the world.

Yep, you - Mr. Lonely.


For men, it's the time where all of your boys are either married (or about to be), even that one who used to sleep with anything with a vagina... c'mon, don't act like you don't know that dude.

SMART GUY SIDEBAR: This is also when you noticed you're starting to get a little chubby and your hairline is starting to fade into the sunset like Floyd Mayweather, Sr.


For women, it's a similar scenario. It's the time when it seems all of your friends are in meaningful long-term relationships, starting families and taking trips to the Grand Canyon with Skipper, the trusty golden retriever. It's when even the most promiscuous of your friends has settled on penis to ride off into the sunset on with.

This time usually begins for women around the late 20's and for men, the early 30's. It's not an unnatural feeling. Most people don't want to go through life alone; without someone to be by their side, destined to be in a house full of cats, tattered Good Housekeeping magazines and half-full plates of casserole.

They would love to fall in love with their soulmate and grow old together with that person. The problem is that once people enter the danger zone, they begin to (usually) settle.



How else do you explain the picture above?

They start to pursue new relationships (or rekindle old ones) that ultimately are unhealthy for them.



*shaking my head*

It's definitely not a good look to be at this point. My solution: realize that your time is your time and the person you're ultimately supposed to be with will arrive when you least expect it. Enjoy the ride in the meantime.

That's my time.

Let me know about the danger zone. Am I off-base? Anything I miss?

Glad you liked all the clips, Britt.3SIX5IVE Creative: We make stuff and people seem to like it.
The pic and the comment that you made about settlin' once you're in the "danger zone" was sad, but on point!! Lol..

Yep – come on… you know those two (aesthetically) don’t match.
Sorry, homie. I must disagree with you. lol But it's only based on my own personal experiences, and of the women I know. As we're getting older, we're making SMARTER choices. So yeah, maybe back when I was 25, Id' settle, but I've been there, done that, didnt reap any benefits, and realized that cats aren't so bad. lol
The question of settling does pop up every now and then but I'm hearing from more and more women that being single is not the end of the world., and on the flip side, settling actually is. *shrug*. But everybody is different. There may be people out there willing to settle down with a wildebeest just so they wont be the odd one out in their group of friends. lol

I hear you, Miss Suga. I’m not saying that you will end up settling – I’m just saying you’re in that area in which danger lurks…
I have no idea what that is.
lmao You dont recognize my side eye?
Nope! :) 3SIX5IVE Creative: We make stuff and people seem to like it.
i'm glad you said this. i was surprised that the smart guy would put that out there considering the women that he counts as friends. from what i can tell, many of them defy this danger zone theory.
Yeah my female friends do BUT there are some that don’t – hence me writing…
I liked this post, Mr. Smart Guy, and no, you're not off base at all.

Thank you for that!
Heck yeah! Though I think it works out better for guys. As women get older (read: more desperate) they start taking off items from their "must have" list. By the time they reach around 40 they're down to "Does he have a job?", "Does he have most of his teeth?", and "Does he not live with mom?" That's why I advise men to wait to settle down- when you get one later in life she is that much more appreciative and forgiving.
