Too many people are over complicating dating.
Didn't really agree with alot of shyt he was pushing but hate him or love him, that brother was hitting topics that resonated across all demographics.
Take this woman for example, new york Jewish woman probably in her 50s discussing with people from similar backgrounds about high value men.
Yea women always went after rich men but I don't think people really vocalized the high value shyt like Kevin did.
Everyone is on this shyt. If dude didn't die he could of really capitalized this into something big.
A mix of Leyksis and slight softening/ more palatable versions of some of Tommy Sotomayers points.Kevin Samuels just took what Tom Leykis had and tweaked it.
To be clear social media has distorted the dating sceneToo many people are over complicating dating.
Come on
Most women aint approaching men period
That’s not how masculinity works sis
...
Because we know y’all’s nature isn’t to approach AT ALL
To me
You and buddy are conflating masculinity/HVM
This. I'm not saying women never approach - they do. Some women know what they want and go for it. I've had three girlfriends my entire life and each approached me.
Most women I've dealt with approached me. Not to say I didn't pull when I felt I needed to but Most approached and aggressively pursued me
And most men are not attractive or wealthy enough to elicit approaches
You love to see it, yay! It's our job as aunties, both real and fictive, to fill in those gaps. Parents are too far removed from the scene to be helpful, esp with all the modern nuances (sm, apps, etc).But I won’t even front- the young ones in my family who are in HS are better. Baking from scratch from like 12. I was like “hold up, how come you didn’t teach me any of that?!” They are literally perfect girls. Even if their parents don’t understand, it’s my personal mission to ensure they align themselves with the absolute best young men Lmao
As for the size thing…as long as I’m a tight 6, I’m ok. But 2-4 is definitely achieving the look. I can admit that. I just ain’t doing it LOL I noticed that if I maintained a 6, the world was such a friendly, amazing place
It’s a shame, but it is what it is. People are shallow.
...
But in comparison, I was getting mad love about how great I looked. Someone was even like “yep, just like her mom. That’s how she looked when she was younger” (which, as I’ve stated a few times on here- my mom is a TRIP, but no one denies how fab she was when she was younger).
But everyone I’m down with has maintained a healthy weight, even after kids. Ionno. Just has to be done![]()
He was nothing more than a vocal jerry springer for losers, delusional hoes and c00ns
R.I.P. but its not like the breh was Malcolm X or countless other people worthy of remembrance
I feel you. I’m 5’3 but size 6 works. 4 would be betterBut here's the disconnect: we're talking about men who are.

I'm only 5'2" so I look 'too skinny' at a 2, slim thick at a 4, and veering into my personal danger zone at a 6. It's about the look, nobody's checking labels, and the labels be lying anyway. (for the men reading along, google 'vanity sizing', absolutely ridiculous.)
My mother was a bad one too. It helps, ngl. The men your mother surrounds herself with can make or break your whole life, (esp as a woman but also as the son of a single mom). For girls, those are likely the kind of men you'll deal with as an adult, so mamas, choose wisely.
A man being attractive isn’t enoughBut here's the disconnect: we're talking about men who are.
That ain’t the disconnect at all
A man being attractive isn’t enough
He has to be famous , extremely extremely extremely good looking and / or exhibit wealth usually to get that type of reaction
A man has to be a 10/10 attractiveness wise to get the attention that a 7/10 woman gets
I feel you. I’m 5’3 but size 6 works. 4 would be betterbut as long as I’m strength training everything is tight. That’s all I got
...
Come to find out this negro is married acting like that
Good trainer, tho
And you’re right about the company your mother/parents keep. Very, very true. Kids will get mixed up with the wrong element when they don’t have an understanding about who they should or shouldn’t be around.
So you agree with me thenI'm telling you, as a woman who has approached, I've never in my life chosen, or approached, a man primarily based on how he looked.
If the topic is hvm and the women who pursue them, we're talking about wealth, profession, and academic and/ or familial pedigree. Looks are definitely on the list, but further down. I'm not too fond of ostentatious displays of wealth either, but we dabbled in our youth.
Your toned size 6 is fine, you were born in. But don't gain nothing.

Keep the trainer if he's good, he's been appropriately shamed. These things happen.
I specified mothers for a reason. The quality of your mother determines who your father will be- who's in her pool of potentials and how they might treat her. The results of that process can either sprinkle a blessing over your life... or not. For me, the quality of my mother determined that I'd have a father who married her, was open handed with the child support, and provided good healthcare. He didn't even have to be there. It also determines how men who are not your father will treat her, and by extension, you. Will shopkeepers be polite or surly? Will randoms be respectful just moving around in daily life, or not? More importantly, will YOU grow up thinking 'all' men are respectful and polite, or disrespectful and surly, and react accordingly? A quality woman can change the trajectory of a whole family tree in this way, even more drastically if she's beautiful.
(I split up quality and beauty bc I've seen it work out where a poor but beautiful girl married into the Boule class, but flamed out badly, so her daughter really got none of the advantages of being born into such a prestigious family. Beauty but not quality.)

So you agree with me then
I don't have all the details, but I do know she was done dirty in the divorce. I had the opportunity to hang with the mom once and she was very old school hood, like 70's hood. She woulda been a queen to my uncles who drive up and down from SC every summer. Comfortable to me, but I could see how it didn't work. Still beautiful though, black don't crack.Nothing to add.
You said it all.
I’m curious though, how’d the mom flame out? Acted crazy after divorce or something?
Nah manYou want it to be one way.
You basically called me a liar ('women do not approach') and then agreed with me (that certain men do get approached).
