you sound wack. :dahell:
:umad: I'm not the writer, don't get mad at me. I didn't say that the writing wasn't good. I give the show and writing props for accuracy as far as how it depicts people like these characters. This is how wack chics get treated in real life. Both chics are out here taking Ls and it's because they're wack. It is what it is.
Explaim how they wack? One of them is an amazing lawyer.
What is there to explain, have you seen the show? Point to one scene where the best friend is being portrayed as an "amazing lawyer"? Even when they show her as a lawyer it's to set up her whining about being overlooked or taken advantage of. Both chics are losing and if you can't see that then I don't know to tell you.

They always mention how amazing she is and her colleagues seem to respect her though she is not paid fairly which is a real issue in some fields. I dont see how that makes her a loser though. The only way Molly is losing is her bad love life.

Issa's problem is the job she works though it can be a fulfilling and a necessary job it doesnt pay much it seems. However Issa is educated, inteligent and funny. She is only really losing cause she is trying to be a hoe to get over her ex and is bad at it :mjlol:

I had came out of a long relationship that ended in a bad way. For a couple months I just went crazy fukking around. I hated what I was becoming so then went the opposite extreme and went two and a half years not fukking anything minus getting the occasional head. Eventually I learned that wasn't accomplishing shyt and found a good mix. Not sleeping with anything offering but if shorty seemed cool enough fukk it roll with it if she's offering.

I see, now that you break it down like that makes sense :jbhmm:

Lawrence coworker sexy as hell :takedat:

Dude just need to stack his bread, they probably paying him GOOD. Do that for a year and work on another app. Hopefully nothing stupid like Whoop Whoop. And when it takes off, bounce because them cacs are never going to take anything he does seriously and IF he does come up with anything that's halfway decent they will take over and pretend like he never came up with it :mjpls:

Desi is a damn dime!

Molly willingly signing up to be other women out of desperation moving further away from what she wants which is a stable solid relationship :sas2: Her sexy ass cant lock it down for some reason. Wont let herself be wifed or find the right person due to mental hang ups and high standards :ehh:.

The type to marry a white man:mjcry:

This show is low key a terrible look for black women and I don't really get it. It reinforces all kinds of negative stereotypes of black women. Issa is wack and her girl is wack. They aren't going thru phases, they're just written as wack as the kind of women who men should keep at arms distance or just avoid altogether. The other black female friends are basically wack too.

They're also too many explicit sex scenes. This shyt is soft core porn at this point.
took the words outta my mouth. wasnt impressed with this episode. show is basically filler for when im bored now

I have to ask.

Is the "black women don't give head" thing still...a thing? Feels like some 1990s shyt, especially since it's not been my experience. But I have been out of the dating scene for a long time now so maybe I'm just not seeing that it's still seen as such.

Not true.

That shyt is so NOT true and you're correct when you said it's some 1990s shyt. They kinda pissed me off a little bit with the whole "black men run to white women because black women don't give head" thing. Bytch where?!? :what:

Then Issa acting all dramatic cause a lil cum got in her eye:comeon:

I also don't know any black women that hop from dikk to dikk like the show is depicting but I'm gonna let them cook:hubie:

It's no where near as big a thing as before but don't get it twisted, there are a lot of black women out there who don't give head. My current gf included. :mjcry:
