A Bloggers Guide to Love n' Shit: Raven

Wednesday, November 16, 2011


Let's be honest. Raven is the cats' meow. Really, she's got the bod, the brains, and the personality. #Package

I automatically thought of her charming whit and sarcastic banter when I came up with the idea of: How To Get a Boyfriend. Then she sent it to me last night annnnnnd I died. It may have been the bottle of wine and the few beers that I had... but that's besides the point.

Here she is Miss Raven. One of my All time FAVES and good friend. I cannot wait to meet this beautiful mamma in a few weeks. yeah... it's happening. Now, I introduce you to Raven. Please Please Please leave feedback. We are DYING to know what you think :).

When Sabrina first asked me to write a guest post about "how to land a man," I was all, "ppssshh, girl please. That's like second nature to me. I got this." But then I starting thinking about my past and realized that in 30 years, I've only had like, two real boyfriends. One of those I ended up marrying, and as much as I wish I could lead by example on how to get a man to marry you, I wouldn't suggest that you Do what I did. Serious.


So instead of telling ya'll what to do to land a man, which I clearly have limited knowledge in, I thought I would tell ya'll what to do to KEEP a man once you got him, which I clearly have a lot of knowledge in. Ten years, two kids and 812 bottles of vodka under my belt, to be exact. (Hey, don't judge. If you divide the number of bottles by the number of days we've been together, then I'm totally in the safe zone.)




Number One: Feed him. 




Make him a damn sandwich. And don't make him ask twice. 




Number Two: Have sex with him.





Whenever he demands. 




Number Three: Don't bitch.




Ever.



In the words of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City, every girl seems to want this:

Don't fool yourselves little pretties. Your good looks and daddy's money is not enough to keep a man. 




So girls, what did we learn?




Feed 'em, f#@k 'em and shut up.




You're welcome.

I am SOOO glad that feed him only goes as far as making a sandwich... because that is within my capabilities.

I bet doing all this stuff is harder than it sounds. Fitting in all that sex while taking care of two kids? wowzers

I listen to a "man pannel" discussion on the talk radio show I had on yesterday that was actually kind of informative... maybe I'll share that.

I really think it's true that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach...seriously. If I didn't cook for my husband...frequently...I'd be trouble! Raven, you crack my shit up! I love this! :) Thanks for the refresher!

Candace said...

Lindsey Leigh said...

O.M.G. I almost fell out of my desk chair at work laughing at this: "So girls, what did we learn?
Feed 'em, f#@k 'em and shut up." I don't thinkt hat would've reflected well on my excellent behavior in the 1 year and 1 month at my current establishment, my boss might've thought I had a mid morning toddy when I was in "meeting".

Seriously. I loved everything about this. My favorite part was the sandwiches, because thats my specialty. I make a mean sandwich and I make it well.

thank you, Raven! lol

Erin said...

Bahahaha amazing!! Loved this!

Becca said...

A-to-the-men. As someone who's been married for 6+ years, I can vouch for Raven's stellar advice!

Samantha said...

HOLY CRAP! This post is seriously fantastic. Like everyone else, I just *almost* fell out of my chair and laughed overly loud while at work. Thank youuuuu for that, Raven!

Sounds like her advice hit the nail on the head!

I love Anonymous up there ^ She doesn't want to have to shut up for her man, but she can't voice her opinions without being anonymous? Seems like she's oppressing herself ;)

Y'all are cute, but Jesus, if the only way I could keep my boyfriend was to slap some ham on some bread, take off my pants, and put duct tape over my mouth, then that would be a pretty shitty relationship. My man can make his own damn sandwich because he is an adult who can take care of himself. We fuck when we feel like it and then we have a nice conversation afterward because we're two well adjusted adults who want to be with each other in spite of sandwiches and sex and bitching.

I don't mean to insult you, I just find this list to be backward. Unless it's satirical or tongue-in-cheek, in which case it's just really badly done.

I guess I would like it more if it was written to people in general. Like, as a guide to both men and women. Though if all my man did to keep a relationship afloat was to throw me a sandwich and then dick me while not speaking, I would drop that fucker like a rock.

My boyfriend and I don't even like sandwiches that much.

James said...

That a woman write this, and a bunch of other women thought it was so great is exactly why feminism is so important. How are men like me supposed to take women seriously if you won't take yourselves and the behavior you display, ESPECIALLY in your relationships with men, seriously?

Sandwiches and sex are great, but they're only a small part of a meaningful relationship with an honest, adult woman.
