For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!

Changing up my style to attract a different kind of baller

I am soooo ready for a new look...inside and out... I'm 26 but I feel I look 19...I'm kinda tired of dealing with the athlete ballers and would like to begin to attract corporate ballers. I have a lot of corporate baller friends and they always tell me I look hella young and sneaky. A lot of them have even went as far as telling me I have the appearance of being a heartless chick. What those look like?? I don't know, but I guess I fit the description. They have also told me that my job doesn't help matters and that's why the athletes I keep dealing with ain't s***. They say no REAL MAN is going to tolerate his woman being gone on business for 4-5 days a week and only being home 2 or 3. And since I am known to pick up extra hours, I'm really home only once a week. It is frustrating at times... Ive even thought about closing my twitter and stop joking around so much...I do want to seem more "professional" I guess that's it, but I do twang to lose my fun and bubbly personality in the process.... Any ideas....and those of you that "know" me via twitter or instagram can probably give me a little bit more advice...

I think you're awesome... Personally I feel like unless you are truly ready to settle down, don't switch up now. Get your running days behind you, and THEN decide what it is you're looking for in a man. I'll never say for you to make too many adjustments because at the end of the day, whatever man you end up with should love Ally for Ally...

Completely agree! You are YOUNG! Don't settle for flaky athletes if that is not what you want, but be prepared to become CEO of the household if you want a corporate settle down type of guy. LOL

While, i don't know you well I can only speak as someone in corporate america. You should not change who you are but just know how to act in different settings. For the corporate folks you really have to be a lady in the streets. They need to know that they can take you to a corporate function if needed and you will be able to blend in and not stand out. I know how to switch it up really good at work and corporate events am ubber professional now catch me on my off time its a different ball game.

Even I find it difficult dating a regular guy because I fear that they will embarrass me or I will get judged off him. I remember years ago one of my co-workers' gf at the time now wife is a gym teacher, the partner at the firm always picked on him that his girl could not become a teacher.

+200, I totally agree with JustMe. You're over here bout to make me cry, =( don't change who you are. I like your bubbly personality, sense of humor, and agressiveness side (if needed). I don't like it when women feel like they need to change themselves to get someone to like them. Like someone said you can read and brush up on more corp things like the Black Enterprise Journal etc. Don't ever change who you are inside to please any man. If they can't accept Ally for the beautiful person you are, then they are not meant for you!
