If anything I was pulling better looking women after I left the game. Misery loves company, so if your entire identity is being a drug dealer in the hood you'll attract a lot of women with fat asses but no education, traumatic life experiences and chaotic home lives, tacky weave/makeup, you can imagine the type.
I'm a good looking dude, tall, good build but quality chicks with degrees, nice teeth, stable families wouldn't mess with me or take me seriously as anything other than a fling. Once I was in college and working towards a career in the formal economy my options seemed endless (not always a good thing).
Pure facts..
