• Primp Rule number 8 : • Whatever a guy can do a

Breaking this rule could result in the following:

Extra pounds as a result of depression and ice-cream eating and of course breaking your neck if you took my heels joke literally and try to play football in heels.

KEEYMA'S FAVORITE MISTER

Mr.Now and Later :Mr. Now or Later is hard on the outside (the now ) and soft on the inside (the later )? Mr. Now and Later is a guy that seems hard and tough on the outside but when you get to know him he is truly soft with a heart of gold.

Why girls should avoid this type :

They shouldn't this is a good type the only girls that should avoid this time is a girl that impatient and very laid-back.

JASMINE FAVORITE RULE

Losing a potential good guy ( there are some left..idk where they are so don't ask )

Naw Not Really :

" Mr. Almost Perfect Sike Naw Not really" is a bootleg Prince Charming. " He is just what we described .. "almost perfect but not really. " So really take caution or you will be telling yourself SIKE NAW !!
