When I was younger and one of my girlfriends was acting stupid and we were close to breaking up (we did), her momma said something along the lines of "My daughter is immature. But you're the kinda guy she's going to want in the long term".
She liked me because I used to check up on her and look out for her if she needed help with something.
At the time, I thought it was ill that she spoke on her daughter that way but, later on I realized she was saying I was a square and her daughter needed to run the streets first
