Mistake #31 Hot Garbage? Umm...No Thanks.



Well girls, you did it! You finally got that magical kiss from the handsome gent with a tan and job to boot. But something just doesn't seem right, does it? He seems a little distant at times. Just when the magical moment seems to be in your grasp again, he switches the subject or runs to the bathroom. What gives? Well, take a look in the mirror and follow this quick check list.

Clothes: Ahhmaaaazing!
Hair: Pulled back away from the face
Underarms: Fresh as a bouquet of gardenias
Legs & face: Freshly depilatated and smooth as silk
Perfume: Not too much, only a spray of his utter-most fav!
Teeth: Spinach-free, and bright white!
Breath: Uh-oh...I can't really tell :(

If you worry that your breath is keeping you from that elusive second kiss, then you are probably right. Guys who have already passed the first kiss goal usually have no qualms about the second, third, or umpteenth one. If you are feel you are the exception, I've got a no fail test for you. Lick the back of your hand (like a lollipop should be licked...), hold on for sec, then take a whiff. If what you smell is anything resembling a mix between whale s**t & your nephew's dirty diapers, then you've got a problem. Take your funky breath to a dentist for a checkup so he/she can tell you the same thing. If a cleaning isn't sufficient, then maybe a halitosis specialist is in order.

Don't even think that Orbit's Sweet Mint gum is going to take care of Halitosis either. Maybe for the first kiss, but once the flavor wears off, it's like Frenching your Shih zhu's poo hole (ugh...that is a sick-nasty mental image.) Oh and please don't be constipated, because what is not being exited from the backside will definitely be funneling its way back up the esophagus like a bad sewage leak. If you're in a bind, always eat your parsley at dinner, and keep some Breath Rx mints in tow. For a long term solution to this terrible problem, don't take my word for it...visit these guys below!

  6. Someone just forwarded your blog to me. And I just have to say: It's jackass losers like you that make people like me leave the church. The best thing a Mormon girl can do is run fast away from the bastards that are leftover and go find a real man, who doesn't feel the need to compensate for his shortcomings (read: height, penis) by making fun of other people. Mormon culture is seriously fucked. Thank you for perpetuating it with childish zeal. Way to help the world.

  7. really?
    this blog is a bunch of CRAP.
    i feel sorry for the guy who writes this blog. stop worrying about what girls are doing wrong and take a good look at yourself.
    YOU are the reason mormon girls are single.

  8. you are such a dooooosh bag. and i'm pretty certain only a guy who is SINGLE would write this.

  9. hmmm AAAAND I'm certain that you'd actually kiss a not-so-attractive person with minty-fresh breath as oppose to someone really pretty with really bad breath, right??? Of course not. But what I'm certain of is that you can actually find someone who is almost too perfect, no problems with hair, clothes, face, body odor, teeth or breath... but would NEVER in a million years kiss YOU. Because she thinks you're a jacka**.

  12. Wow. What a shame that you let this blog influence your view of the entire "Mormon culture"... Because we are all young single adults who make controversial and superficial blogs in our spare time, right? Too bad you decided to leave the church over "losers like them".. But hey, I guess it's always easier to blame someone else for your own problem.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ha ha ha, nice one guys! Good thing this is anonymous, cause I tried the licking my hand thing. Gross I know, but cut me a break, I am in my pjs on the couch, no one saw! Anyway, it does make sense, if i try to smell my breath with my hand, it just smells like the soap i used!

    ReplyDelete
  14. And it's a good thing that you can blame people being offended on the people themselves and give yourself a pass on all jackass behavior. I didn't say I left the church BECAUSE of this blog, I left the church because of other PEOPLE like this blog, who have unfortunately become commonplace in the church. You feel like you can say and do whatever hurtful things you want because "people shouldn't get offended".

    I'm fine with my decision. It's too bad you don't have a conscience. And yes, there are many shallow blogs out there. But this one is not just shallow. It is hurtful and written by people who are supposedly active in the church and make that fact well known. How embarrassing for you and for the church.

    And guys like this are the reason why Mormon girls are single. Because the girls hold out hope that there is something better, but really, there are only losers, who can't hold jobs, still live with their moms and attend creepy juvenile dances at church.

    And, this is the epitome of the Mormon Single Adult and YSA culture. If you haven't been in it that long, then you don't know. But this is it folks. Run. Fast.

  15. First of all, the visual images in this post were super disgusting!
    Secondly, blaming some "loser" for why you left the church is really quite sad. There is a distinction between the "church" ie, doctrine and teachings, and the people (there will always be losers no matter what). So stop playing the blame game and generalizng an entire group (most of whom you don't know personally) and take a long hard look at yourself. I'm just saying...

  16. this blog is lame. although i'm sure the writer has some positive attributes, this blog is a display of his most horrible, disgusting, and ugly ones. Although some might view it as funny or sarcastic, there's a difference between good humor and just being really lame. And I can see why some people would be really turned off to LDS culture because of this blog, so if the person writing it really cares anything about the Church, they should delete this. And perhaps never open their mouth again. And no, I'm not a single girl.

  17. "There is a distinction between the "church" ie, doctrine and teachings, and the people"

    3 groups actually, there's The Gospel, The Church ,and The Congregation. Of them, only the Gospel is perfect or makes any claim at being perfect. Anon, I'm sorry you chose to be so offended by the congregation that you are forsaking the blessings of the Church and the Gospel, and would encourage you to find a new Congregation. I've said here before that I'm glad I live in Central PA where I don't have to deal with "mormon culture." I've found the love of the members to be more genuine, the pride to be far less, and the "holier than thou" attitudes to be almost absent. Utah forgets that the Gospel is about love, not being a better Mormon than those around you.

  18. And now on a different topic...I've noticed that the author(s) of this blog have real issues with the human body. Anything that reminds them that a woman might actually be flesh and blood and not a smooth, sleek robot without any orofices really freaks them out. Bad breath, a bit of hair on the upper lip, burping, a speck of dirt on one's flip flops, the slightest bit of fat: it all has to be completely out of sight. Now, I'm not against a little personal hygiene, but these guys almost seem to find the female body distasteful. Girls, I say go out and find yourself a real man: one who actually loves the female body, bad breath, stray hairs, fat, and all.

  19. The offended ex-member. Since your big into generalizations, I thought I'd point out a few generalizations of the offended ex-member. Hopefully, you'll then be as offended as Mormons are when you generalize us.

    1. if you were offended or just don't like the culture and left the church, you've lost sight of what it's all about or you never really grasped it
    2. you've sinned and justified your way out to avoid repenting
    3. if you feel that the people in the church aren't good people at all, i would ask you:
    a. when was the last time you donated time or money to someone in need
    b. how was your home or visiting teaching when you were a member? did you go every month? or did you not go out of spite because you weren't getting home taught?
    c. how much time did the leaders of the church spend catering to your needs, while they could have been helping others or spending time with their family?

    I could go on, but hopefully your offended and embarrassed enough to stop lashing out, blaming, and generalizing ANY group of people. It's just dumb and makes you look like a bitter, selfish person.

  20. Dear PP,

    Wow. You must have a lot going for you, for you to be able to sit on your anonymous high horse and hurl insults at all the single girls and women of the church.

    You want a Martha Stewart in your kitchen, a Mary Poppins with your kids and a freaky freaky whore in the bedroom. What are you bringing to the table????

    Let me see...you must:

    -obviously be as good looking as George Clooney or Brad Pitt
    -hold an amazing job, that makes many millions of dollars per year
    -be tall, in perfect shape, tan, with no receding hairline and have a really big dick
    -honor your priesthood (oh wait, you obviously don’t because you blatantly flaunt your abuse of your power)
    -be really, really good in bed...but still be a virgin on your wedding night

    My guess is that you probably are not any of the above things. You are probably of average height/average to mushy body/average to forgettable looks, either hold an average job or were recently laid off, play a lot of Guitar Hero or other lame video games, have a subscription to Maxim and/or FHM, and we already know you don’t honor your priesthood. So…why would any of us want you anyway?

    I wish you would try to be a little more like Heavenly Father in your perception of women. You would be able to find more peace and happiness and contentment with your own dating that is truly only possible when we start thinking like our Maker. But I suppose that is the great struggle of this life—wanting to be like God, but not always acting like it.

    Heavenly Father doesn’t support the tearing down of his daughters for cynical or humorous blogging. I don’t care if you think you are just being funny. You lame little boys can kid yourselves and pretend you truly believe you are just being funny and exposing the truth about Mormon women and dating, but you can’t feel good when you tear other people down. It is the law of God. The spirit can’t be present when contention and derision exists. You are no exception. And if you’ve been through the temple you should know that.

    So, PP. Why don’t you read this comment, grab your copy of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition (because we all know you have a copy stashed on your bookcase or coffee table) and then go rub one out?

    You suck.

  21. re: Anon to offended ex-mormon

    The offended ex-member. Since your big into generalizations, I thought I'd point out a few generalizations of the offended ex-member. Hopefully, you'll then be as offended as Mormons are when you generalize us."

    You know, my sister left the church over the activities of a ward as well. She was inactive, a single mother of two, scraping by and barely making ends meet in a very affluent ward, etc etc. When she tried to reactivate; the members looked down their noses at her, treated her like scum for the follies of her youth, that she was trying to repent of, and in general did not welcome her or even try to help her feel like she was a worthwhile human being.

    Now, she's still a single mother, a smoker (trying to quit), and only ever goes to church when she's visiting my mother. Sometimes, it really is the congregation that drives people away. I've tried to explain it to her, and get her to try the church again (since she is no longer living in the same area), but so far my efforts have been mostly unsuccessful, and have been for the last 10 years.

    My point is, that Just because some people are shallow and act like mentally retarded chimps doesn't mean that the church as a whole is like that, or that it's even like that outside of Utah. Give the Gospel a chance, and choose to set aside your injured pride.

    ReplyDelete
  22. My point is, there are too many assumptions in generalizations. Here are some posibilities about the "affluent ward":

    1. they may not have been affluent at all. they simply had lots of debt, which they were stressed out about carrying. see: the credit crisis. or, other members of their family were in debt and they were supporting them as well
    2. they may have had sick parents or family
    3. they may have had troubled, disobedient, children
    4. they may have had high-stress jobs and callings
    5. individuals may have tried to help, but received the "I don't want your charity" response. see: the pride of the poor.

    Blaming other people doesn't work, you have no idea what is going on behind the scenes and what their thoughts/feelings/and intentions were. It could very well be that your sister was in a better place in her life to serve the other members of her ward.

    The only people we can safely blame is ourselves. It is not our place to blame others in this life.

  26. How do you know they went out of their way to make her feel unwelcome? That's her perception. How do you know your sister wasn't cold and mean when she was contacted? How do you know she wasn't the focus of numerous ward council meetings, etc.

    Did she go out of her way to welcome herself, invite people to her house, integrate herself into the ward by fulfilling her calling, help others in the ward?

    Maybe someone in the congregation didn't get visit taught that month by your sister, and they went inactive?

    It goes around and around. In the end, we are responsible for our own transgressions, not Adam's.

  31. Wow seriously? I'm not offended or embarrassed. But you should be. Your tone is as childish as my 8 year old nephew.

    I spend 10-12 hours a week volunteering for two different non-profit organizations, have spent time volunteering in homeless shelters, in prisons and for domestic violence survivors, which is more volunteering than any Mormons I know.

    I have not sinned in the way that I think you are implying. I still believe in the code of living that the church teaches. I still have not had a drink of alcohol, tried drugs or had premarital sex.

    When I was a visiting teacher, I went every month. And I never took up the time of my church leaders, as I was aware of the many issues they have to deal with. Also, I was home taught every month, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

    I never said that church members are bad people. But people like the people that write this blog can sometimes make life very difficult for church members trying to live right. I'm sorry that you don't agree or that you are offended. Perhaps you shouldn't get offended. Isn't that what you're saying to me?

    And this is the first time I've had a church member actually tell me that they hope I'm offended. THAT'S a nice impression to give. Good missionary work.

    I should have said that I still respect the teachings and leaders of the church. I do not respect the members who make life so difficult for single people in a family church that it makes life unbearable. I'm sorry that you don't understand, but perhaps you should build a bridge and get over it. Take your own advice.

    Also, it's "you're" not your. You're is a contraction between you and are. Your is the possessive form of the word.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wow.

    ...

    I'm sensing a bit of friction.

    How incredible. A silly blog can produce such strong feelings. Of course it's not the blog itself but the people behind it and those who participate. Creating contention. This really is no good. Perhaps the authors and participants should be more Christ-like in their aid to mormon girls and their singleness.

  33. Thanks for the grammar lesson tips. I'll be sure to proof read my blogging next time...

    You weren't offended?

    "It's jackass losers like you that make people like me leave the church."

    How would you define your course of action then? You seem to be well versed in the English language, surely you would have scrutinized your blog to the nth degree before posting...

    I was hoping you'd be offended at my generalizations. You were. They're stupid. Similar to your generalizations about Mormon culture.

    I would expect better than that from you, since you're at such a signficantly higher state of being than the rest of us because you've shed the oppressive shackles of Mormonism. We're the misguided ones here, please continue to show us the light by cursing and patronizing

  35. I'm surprised at all the people who take this blog so seriously. Sure, maybe the author's prose sucks and his jokes are often cliche and/or lame. He's often irreverent. Still, the material is basically humorous. If you heard the same jokes (perhaps with better phrasing and delivery) in a comedy stand-up, you would laugh. But throw the word "Mormon" in there and put it on a blog and suddenly you have to put your serious face on. Do yourself a favor and lighten up. Choose not to be offended on behalf of all the innocent "victims" targeted by this blog.

    Didn't fill her calling? Didn't do her visiting teaching? She was never offered either opportunity. Perhaps, what you're missing, is that the people of that ward had an opportunity to welcome back into fellowship a lamb that had gone astray, and WANTED to return, but the pen was closed, and the shepherd on duty rebuffed her plaintive bleating. The ward could have taken the chance and extended fellowship. They didn't bother, and now, she will not bother with the church. It is her choice to be offended, but simple kindness would have done far more to keep her and her family in the church.

    Morguerat:

    i'm with anon. the blame game doesn't work. i'm not trying to be insulting here, but we could keep the blame train going...


    did you her family call the ward leadership weekly and ensure her needs were met? afterall, family is the true gospel organization and where the ultimate responsibility lies.

    in my ysa days i was in a ward and the family of an inactive girl called every week during ward council to follow up, ensure contact was being made, get updates, that she had the best home teachers, etc., etc.

    would it be fair to blame you for not doing this? i don't think that's fair. nor is blaming the ward. i'm not saying some extra kindness wouldn't have went a long way, but everyone could always have done more.

    so where does the guilt end and justice fall on the individual?

    Yes, because that is a totally reasonable expectation when she had run off 2 years earlier with her father (she's my 1/2 sister from my mother's first marriage), disappeared, and didn't communicate with anyone at home, 3 states away (she didn't let us know where), for another couple of years.

    Yep, totally reasonable expectation, especially when my parents still can't afford long distance service on their phone.

So you're saying if this blog was not made by Mormon guys it would be ok? Please expound. And if some of you really do use the language you use in your posts, I"m pretty sure these guys are the least of your worries, it may just be you. Sorry! But this post really was a little much, not so much funny, but sick.

  47. I actually went from being outraged at whoever is writing this stuff to just feeling super sad for him/them. These are clearly self-loathing guys projecting what's wrong with them onto the girls around them. I have a feeling these are guys without close, trusted female friends who have helped them really appreciate women. I personally loooove guys. Are they often gross and immature and frustrating and they think farting is waaaay funnier then it is and seriously what is the deal with all the video game playing? Sure. But there are also such wonderful things about guys in general that those lame stereotypes-that don't apply as a set to every guy by the way-don't mean anything in my daily interactions with the great guys around me. I feel sad that this blog causes people to say, "yeah, girls are so stupid!" because honestly, what is the point? You guys haven't created some honest dialogue between the sexes here, you've fostered a junior high environment of boys vs girls nonsense.

    ReplyDelete
  48. i think this blog is hilarious. the comment stream here is depressing for the most part, and that's sad. I am a married guy with 3 single sisters. They introduced me to this blog because they thought it was so hilar. While it can be rude or lame, it is for the most part a clever, humorous way to address many of the issues (some of them obvious) of why girls are single. Laugh it off, folks. It's ok to laugh.

    Girls, hopefully you can enjoy the humor in it and come up with clever ways to dog on mormon guys for watching too much sports, playing too much GH and becoming way too picky/noncommittal. That would be a classic blog.

    That's the thing with the blame train - it is always running. Stamps are 50cents, the church has the lost sheep program, emails are free, you can make a long distance call from your ward building to her ward building. You could have ALWAYS done more.

    If you defend yourself or your family, I can simply go back to blaming her. If she didn't have contact with you for years, it makes it really easy for her to justify her inactivity to you by blaming the ward. She simply says she tried, but the ward was arrogant. That turns your attention to blaming the ward rather than trying to address her actual concerns.

    You can defend your sister and your family and maintain you did all you could. I would believe you. But, who speaks for the congregation? It's an easy scapegoat with no rebuttal. If you couldn't track her down, it seems pretty reasonable that they ward might have a hard time with this as well. People move or get evicted a few times in a year, change phone numbers, ditch appointments, and on and on. You have no idea what efforts the ward actually made. But, they are an easy scapegoat because there is nobody to speak on their behalf.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yeah, ten years ago when she was going through it she didn't have email, neither did we, makes it hard to use such, now, commonplace communication, but that's neither here nor there, I've been in wards where I felt distinctly unwelcome, I've seen and heard of RS's that were unwelcoming. Heck, in the ward I'm in now, if you aren't in one of the clique's you have no support structure from the sisters in general, and anything you want or need has to go directly to the RS Pres.

    If you can get into the clique, or they take pity on you and ask you to join, you're ok, otherwise... lets just say that I've seen a lot of sisters here convert and then fall away because they didn't feel at all welcome once they were baptised, the goal was met and the fellowship was dropped, and eventually, so were the converts. Doesn't happen as often in the EQ, but it's still there.

    What it simply comes down to is that while the Gospel is perfect, and the church as an institution is close and getting better, the membership is still pretty jacked up.

  51. The torrent of rancor that follows the blog entries is often far more entertaining than the post itself. This one in particular.

  52. torrent of rancor... yeah. People are so easily offended.

    Author: good point about the stuff that can't exit coming back up. It's true, and lots of people don't think about it or realize it.

  53. Also, I like this quote from Mobsters and Mormons (movie) by the mobster guy: the Church may be true, but sometimes the people aren't. Don't judge the people, judge the truth of the Gospel. And you LDS people, set a good example.

  55. The comments left on your blog are almost funnier than your blog. There are some angry single girls out there. And although your blog reveals more about you than about single Mormon girls (in particular, you will be the type to either be single at 40 or have 4 divorces under your belt) I guess it doesn't matter, as long as you keep getting a large amount of blog hits. That's all that matters really.
