Adventures in Living a Healthy, Juicy Life

Sticky Situations
Consider the following predicament. Men, I’m sure you can relate to this young man’s situation. Courtside seats! With cheerleaders blocking his view, so to speak. Women, I’m sure we can all relate to his date’s response. 99% of women in this same situation would respond with a similar dirty look. The other 1%? The guy’s probably sitting next to his sister.

Salvaging the Situation
Oh dear. From now until the end of time, this woman will have the same reaction at the mere mention of the words “going to the game, cheerleaders or courtside seats. You know that we women have memories like elephants – we never forget the indignities we suffer.
So, things happen on the spur of the moment. What would you do? How would you respond? How would you want to be treated in this situation?
I’ll go first. My reaction would be “(first, wounded) hey, what’s going on? Where did all these cheerleaders come from? They’re taking all of my guy’s attention. (then, annoyed) hmmph! Then, hopefully, I would make a joke and find it comical. But I would have to go through my range of emotional reactions first.
Guys, I would need you to hug up on me…a lot. Whisper something nice in my ear. You know, I’m gonna have a reaction. Best to mitigate, as best you can. Because, guys, that hand on the chin speaks volumes to other women. She’s not saying anything because in her mind, she’s already on the phone with her best friend forming a war council. lol!
Of course, this is just my opinion. Everyone seeing these photos will have their own point of view on the situation. I don’t expect you to agree with me. My point of view is a reflection of my life experience. In fact, I welcome your input.
What do you see when you look at these photos?

What does your reaction say about you?
What have you learned about yourself from salvaging sticky situations? What’s your default reaction: ignore it, get mad, go silent, leave, nag, laugh? Do you bear grudges – an elephant never forgets? It’s interesting to think about.
Relationships can be ruined in an instant because we don’t allow each other room to respond when unexpected things happen. If you don’t get it right in the heat of the moment, make sure you go back and salvage the situation. We’re all human. We just want to feel loved, respected and honored. And really, the above situation is hilarious. Um, as long as it’s happening to someone else.
My intention is to encourage you to achieve something good and to be more fun, spontaneous and interesting which leads – quite nicely, I might add – to developing habits designed to have you “Stay Young – from the Inside Out”

Hey Cheryl, I bet Mr Beckham was thinking “That outfit really shows off her great figure, but she’s got nothing on Victoria!”
Victoria is thinking “Oh dear, this photo shoot is going to be on every social networking site in under 30 minutes.”
Did you hear about how the photographer who took this series of shots paid the cheerleaders to parade in front of David? No? Nor did I!
In any case, I try to focus on everything from the chin up when looking at another woman. It saves a lot of complications and it is better for relationships, with my own partner and the women I work with or meet during the day. – Michael

OMG – Cheryl, your post made me laugh so much.
David is known for not being all that faithful
Honestly, it might be that he likes a bit of meat on his woman’s bones and Victoria has little meat left!
In any case, that does NOT justify his cheating, but might explain why he is eyeing those cheerleaders!

Hi Krizia,,

Thank you! Come back and visit again soon.

Te funny thing is that it’s not just any girl, that’s Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice. She’s been on the receiving end of thousands, if not millions of those “looks” during her career as a Spice Girl. So now she’s gonna be mad cause her husband is guilty of doing the very thing that made her famous and allowed her to meet him? Puh-lease.

Women! You can’t live with them, can’t live without them. That’s what makes us so wonderful. If we were so easy to figure out, you’d get bored and find something else to do.
Ha!!!!Even Beckham gets caught with the ‘creeper eye’! Maybe he’s just looking for the shot clock?
V.B. can’t be too pissed…I notice she’s still grabbing his thigh.
Too funny.

If I ever bump into David Beckham, you can be sure I’ll be oggling him and bumping into things. Just being human! We just can’t take our eyes off beautiful people.
