I might have to build him

With Valentine's Day approaching, I've realized that I've reached that point in my dating life where I might have to build a man if I want to be happy. 

Technology is improving everyday so, it's not completely out of the question.

Dating sucks in general, but dating in a pandemic is for the birds. There is no effort, no consistency. You give them the blueprint because who wants to waste time and yet and still they don't read it. 

  • Maybe the problem is Chicago men, (although Detroit and Boston are putting out some trash exports too 😆) and I have been told I am not the typical Chicago girl. 
  • Maybe the problem is I refuse to date outside my race anymore. I did! In another lifetime, I dated the United Nations but I felt most comfortable with those who look like me. Maybe that's the problem because more than one Black man has told me I seem like the type of girl that would marry a white guy. 

If I could build him he would have/be .... 

(names have been changed to protect the stupid and I picked artist most like the individual)

An Amazing Attention to Detail like Camron. That man would go above and beyond. He gave experiences not trips or gifts. My wildest memory sitting front row at Cirque du Soleil for my birthday because I loved them. He is what sparked my love of black men. 

A Calm and Consistent Demeanor like KC and the Sunshine Band. We never argued until it was over. He was so even keeled it was ridiculous. He was never late and never spoke an unkind word. His calm nature made me calm. There was no gaslighting or intimidation. I want that type of peace in my ideal relationship. 

My best friend and have my back like Justin Timberlake.  If I was going through something, he was so quick to try to solve the problem. I never felt like I was in the relationship by myself. If he had it, I got it, and if I had it, he got it. He meant what he said and said what he meant, I respect that. 

An Amazing Conversationalist like Killah Priest. I could just talk to him for hours. He wanted to know about my day to the most minute detail and would know, understand, and remember every detail. I want someone who wants to get to know me. 

A Sexual Deviant like MC Hammer. He was down to explore any and everything. Relationships get boring, so a partner that is ready and willing to explore all of your deepest fantasies is dope. 

An Unending Love like Kendrick Lamar. Despite the ups and downs and inconsistencies in this relationship. I know for a fact that he loved me and still does. 

An innate ability to set up Surprises like Akon and Ace-Hood. The A-team was on it with just taking me out because they felt I deserved a good time, even if the dates weren't the best I appreciated the effort. 

Super Supportive and a Hard Worker like Easy-E. When were was applying to grad school, he would set up GRE study dates. He wanted me to achieve my dreams and I helped him achieve his. A partner that that pushes you to be better. 

Street Smarts like Fabolous. He made sure I was always safe. If I was out at night, or coming home late, he would be out front waiting or have some friends waiting. I always made it home safe. 

I have dated two good on paper dudes, Master P and Rakim, they were good looking, educated, decent jobs, but they were inconsistent jackasses. What is in person never equals what on the paper. I want someone who is their resume. If they are an intellectual be that. If they are handy, be that. I just want him to actually be what he says he is, and stand by it. 

A sweet heart like Dead Prez. He was always there. If it was a taco run for a bad day or to stay over because my dumbass decided to watch a scary movie and now need company. If it was to prank call exes who wouldn't leave me alone or just take me for a walk and ice cream in silence on those days when it was all too much. He was a total sweet heart... I want someone who is just genuinely nice. 

Lastly, a little sprinkle of cockiness like Slick Rick. I like for my man to know he has my undivided attention  

With all these good qualities, I need to make sure their flaws are left out:

Let him be not a liar
Let him not be a thief of items, thoughts, hearts or ideas
Let him be gainfully employed, whether for himself or someone else
Let him be emotionally mature, the ability to talk out differences maturely is important
Let him be communicative
Let him not be inconsistent
Let him be prompt and on time
Let him not be cheater
I don't need another narcissist.
Let him know I don't share my friends, roommates, siblings, or food for that matter
Let him not go MIA at the most inopportune times
Let him keep his hands to himself, and if he swings let Jesus be a brick
Let him actually like sex with women
Let him actually like women (cause most like sleeping with women but don't actually like us)
Let him be sober, cause if my mouthwash goes missing...
Let him not be a gaslighting narcissistic egomaniac with a secret family (sorry that was oddly specific)
Let him be not intimidated by my success

Also, let him love to deal with my spoiled ass. I want what I want when I want it. I shop too much. I have a smart mouth. I don't always comb my hair. I wheeze and snore when I sleep. I'm arrogant. I get depressed and it is really hard to snap me out of it. I will make fun of you every chance I get. I like really nice things and nice places, and will turn up my nose if I don't like it. 

I mean... I know I am a lot. 

I am also sweet, loving, and would give you the shirt off my back. I am determined, a leader, hardworking, thoughtful, optimisitc, a planner, intelligent, ridiculously communicative, and usually only mean when I haven't eaten (however if you start an argument with me, God help you, because I don't start them but I will finish them) lol

The older I get, the longer my list gets, and the harder it is to meet someone where I am at. 

Maybe it is a sign I should just order some really good batteries....

Don't let the bougie fool you, I said I was from Woodlawn : 36 questions about me

I haven't felt like myself in a long time and for the first time in years, I feel renewed and awake and happy. I thought I would take advantage of the lift out of the fog of depression and reintroduce myself. 1.Where did I grow up? Chicago, Woodlawn to be exact. My Instagram handle is Kurlykrysbchi... I will always be part of the Chi. 2. What's the most Midwest thing about me? Hmmm. The fact that I can pronounce Illinois correctly? I add an S on the end of proper store names: Jewels, Walgreens? My love of Portillos? The way I turn up my nose at everyone else's downtown? I say pop instead of soda? I say gym shoes, instead of sneakers? You choose. 3. Where do I currently live? Rural Arizona... send prayers! I'm afraid of everything and the thorns have destroyed 3 pairs of Adidas gym shoes. 4. Best friend? I have a few and they will always be my friends. I have in innate ability to always make an amazing friend. If only I had that same discernment when it came to dating.  ...

Happy Mother's Day or Whomever you celebrate...

  Mother’s Day is hard for me Because I had a mother figure for a few years but I basically raised myself. So this day is a reminder of what I had and what I lost. What I might have had, what I might have one day and what I will never have... I make no secret that my mom committed suicide when I was 4.  So this day just makes me sad, but not just for me. I’m sad for lots of people. To the girls that didn’t have a positive mother figure.  To those that lost their mothers far too soon. To those that wanted to become mothers but can’t.  To those still fighting to become a mother. To those that had mothers who were inherently toxic.  To those that had to mother themselves.  To those that waited a lifetime to become a mother. To those that are aunts and friends who assist in mothering.  To those that just didn’t want children but mother their friends, or help others.  To those that just wanted solace in their adulthood’s after their toxic childhoods.

Seeing as today is Fat Tuesday and tomorrow marks the First day of Lent. I thought you would like to know I am giving up men who think MBJ and Russell Wilson are simps for loving their women.  So Lori Harvey, model and socialite is now dating the actor Michael B Jordan. I have to admit they are adorable. He went all out for Valentine's Day and rented out an aquarium just so they could look at the turtles (he calls her turtle) while they dined on Nobu. Men are up in arms over Lori Harvey being happy with Michael B Jordan. They deem her less worthy because she has dated quite a few well named individuals. (see: Trey Songz, Louis Hamilton, Future, Diddy, and Justin Combs) So Ciara, my Goodies singer, is married to Russell Wilson. The All American, God-fearing, loving football quarterback. Before she was attached to the football star with whom she shares 2 biological children and one child from a previous relationship, she was linked to some industry men (see: future, bow wow and Amare...
