Birthday Girl

I celebrated my birthday this saturday...and yes i am thirty something. I had an interesting day, no cake, no fanfare, just a little pampering and a couple of friends who were going to try and get me drunk since i have never experienced that state. I really tried, but you get to a certain stage and you just cant go anymore, how do people do that to themselves? I mean, the bed spun for about a minute when i tried to go to sleep, but there was no hangover, nothing. I am a little disappointed...lol

My best friend called and we spoke for like forever, one thing we discussed was of course men. We are in the same boat, thirty something successful (?) women with no men. She proceeded to tell me that there is nothing like a Jamaican man, but i must be prepared to get cheated on...WHAT?? Are u saying this is the fate of the majority of Jamaica's women? Is this what i am going to have to settle for? In this age when diseases abound, this is what i have to look forward to? So is what good for the goose, good for the gander?

We then tried to name out men we knew that we were SURE were good. Unfotunately we could only come up with like five between us and that would be out of say 50....10% what horrible odds.

Men speak up, is it that only 10% of men dont cheat? (Bear in mind that my survey was entirely unscientific!)

Good you enjoyed your bday.

There, are a lot of good Jamaican men out there. You just need to look in the right place for us.

Got to agree with Trouble; the women are just as much to blame as the cheating men. Seems to be quite "normal" for youngish girls in Kingston to date married men now.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I am pretty sure my father wasn't a cheater. He swore he wasn't when he was cussing me out for doing same... ;-)

I believe all Jamaican men cheat... UNTIL they grow UP! Sorry fellas its in the blood! My dad cheated, my grandfather(s)cheated and the list goes on... It is RECENT that women are doing the same... because they KNOW that these married Jamaican men are gonna cheat. Advise: Meet men (black or whatever) from different parts of the world.
