It's funny cause as I was reading this I immediately thought about Tariq and then you called him out for it. His development wasn't just the lower libido, though. There is more money promoting African American knowledge of self because black women are a better sales demographic than the black men who listened for free to his podcast and bought his books.
However, yeah in a less media saturated world where his past could have been hid I could definitely have seen him become a preacher of a good size congregation and preaching against his sinful past.
Your game gets better as you mature and get older. The sports analogy doesn't always work on everything in life. When ball players are walking around with no more career, no more endorsements, bad knees and a sore back, a man who's been a player/mack is only more put together and able to pull even better. The guys like Tariq, Patrice O'neil, George Clooney, Ice T, or whomever, didn't choose one woman because they did not have the ability to get any more ass, it's just that they smartened up as to what's been going on in their lives and had matured.
When you go from playing around to actually running your life you need a woman who is on that level so to speak. You can't keep running around with some doe-doe birds. Need someone who can keep up with you and even helps you keep focus. Is it necessary? No. Do you have to have only one ace on your team? No. But having so many women in your life at one time can actually TAKE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND FOCUS AWAY. Seriously the most detrimental facet is that it eats up your time and that's your most precious resource. A stable, good woman can only help you out. A woman who can be a good friend and just as importantly be a good mom to your kids.
Yes I know GMB, and we all saw Ice take that massive L. Just like being a player you don't always win. Woman will always have that element of being volatile. But reading and finding quality stops a lot of that shyt, and Ice T leaving his day one to be with a plastic hustler was maybe more fitting for him. Being real and finding a woman with that quality is what we should be looking at most. A lot of us came from two parent homes and want that for our children as best we can, so we have to choose the smartest and most reliable choice and move from there.
And if that doesn't work out, you still have your game, your skills, and experience to put you back out there as an animal. You can still raise your seed and the game doesn't stop. But that's why I think a man needs that period of sewing his oats, or understanding game. Because you don't play yourself out if things go wrong, and you don't live in fear of things going left with any female. Also, she will feel that upper hand from you and have that fear losing you more than you losing her.
It's like making the move from player to mack to a man. Or a start up to a player to a coach. You have more on your plate, from responsibility and duties, but it's also a lot more rewarding. Ultimately, by the time you grow up you see that eventually a family > a roster.
. The night before I was basically thirsting over her I think trying to get her to come upstairs to my room to chill and she didn't want to. Since I sent that text, she's never talked to me. If she needs to go out and my brother's car is behind her or mines, she'll call my cousin to tell her to tell me to come move the car. She won't even tell me directly. if she's outside and can't get in, she'll call my cousin to to ask me to open the door for her. Even before when I wasn't in any "situation" with her she sometimes would ask my cousin to ask me but this time it's just blatant I'm like
