I see what you’re saying but, in my eyes, black men who act like thugs to appeal to black women are in the same league as these simps and enablers.
I’ve been rejected for not being “hood” enough and I stood on my square. And not to worship p*ssy.
Now I have a job I love, I’m about to buy a town house, this summer I’m going to get a Camaro and I’m with a baddie that damn near worships the ground I walk on.
And if it doesn’t work out I will still have my pick of the litter.
All that and I’m not even 26 yet.
But I was raised by and around men who taught me to have standards and value myself.
Many black men weren’t therefore this is why we have so many brehs that will accept and co-sign bullshyt.
Which leads me back to my disdain for most of these old head nikkas
Most of them can’t talk about anything outside of p*ssy and sports.
Many of the posters downplaying the tweet in the OP and trying to gaslight us fit in that category.
Their inability to think outside of their dikks has fukked us over.
Yep, you should never lower your standards to placate women. It's just an observation that the reality is what it is. When Michael B. Jordan was younger, he was the cornball that wasn't hood enough and then he went over with white women because that's who showed him love.
Then he goes with Lori Harvey, it lasts a little while, but he's not doing something to check the boxes to make her want to marry him.
Even Will Smith is acting out because he sees his woman is fantasizing about 2pac... and even 2pac said he was ignored until he got the fame.
The reality is a man should always handle his business and not chase women, and the woman he DOES get with, he needs to make sure he's not the fall back option.
We were trying to tell folks about Russ and Ciara, but apparently we were 'hating' and now Ciara is all on instagram twerking in daisy dukes and making single woman anthems.
