So I am wondering why is it that money makes things so complicated. Back in the earlier days woman were married off to men who came from wealthy families, because they themselves were not in a station in life that would allow them or their parents to live comfortably. It’s really sad that back then parents pimped their daughters out to the highest bidder not caring if love was really a part of the equation. I had another epiphany while watching one of my favorite movies, Pride and Prejudice. For those who never had the pleasure of reading one of the best literary works that Jane Austin ever pinned, allow me to summarize. Enter the Bennett’s, a lower class family consisting of five daughters and a mother who was an exhibitionist when it came to making sure that her daughters were noticed by the right people. Then on the other hand you have Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy who were rich beyond measure in both land and looks. All those things caught Mrs. Bennett’s eye, because she wanted her daughters to be rescued from the obscurity and destitution into the comfort that the lap of luxury offers. How does this fit into modern day romance you may ask?
Well, one would argue that even in the shambles of today’s world that pimping yourself out to the highest bidder is still acceptable. Now a day’s people unconventionally date for the love of money and not the person himself. This is a trait that is commonly found in women, hence the term gold digger. I’ve noticed a lot of woman my age and even younger are looking for men to take care of them, they couldn’t give a damn about the man’s name or the type of person he is. Because as long as he looks good and has money then it’s all good right? WRONG!!! I have to say that the biggest pet peeve that I have right now with my gender is the fact that we have to rely on someone else to take care of us. I hear these nonsensical females popping off at the mouth talking about
“If a dude wanna pay my bills then he can pay my bills.”
If that’s not the most ignorant shit I’ve ever heard. My thing is no one seems to see the bigger picture, yeah you’re getting some cash to pay the bills but what would you have to do in the end for that , because let’s face it nothing in this world is free and always comes with a price that you may not want to pay. I’m tired of hearing all these women tell men to get their money up. I wonder how in the hell are you gonna act like that and you don’t have two pennies to rub together your damn self? It baffles me, what happened to the time when females were out there to make their own way. I can only say that I know half a dozen real females out there that are about getting ahead and not using a man’s wallet to do it.
I knew this one girl who tried to talk to my brother, JT, and told him that she only dated dudes who only wear Gucci and Prada. I wish that I could see this girl and tell her to go sit the hell down somewhere. Men don’t really want a woman that they have to take care of financially. It isn’t a safe bet to just assume that a man will take care of you and bend over backwards, who really wants a man that bends over? This girl had the nerve to put her demands on the table about what kind of man she wants, but I find it funny that you want a rich man, and yet here you sit at Carolina Place mall filling out a job application. If the girl that I am talking about is reading this then honey, my message to you: Stop trying to find a man to take care of you financially. Men these days don’t just spend money on a girl without expecting something back in return. Not to throw salt, but we have a name for women that take money but have to do things for it. Ho!!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the money thing is a race based thing, because you don’t have to be just black or white to fit the bill for these types of woman (and I use the term loosely). Women need to start being a little more proactive when it comes to making their own way. Even though the guy that is paying for your way of life is not really complaining to you about your ways, you can bet your ass that he’s telling his boys how easy you are when you’re not in the room (which he is paying for). Yes the role of a man is to provide for his woman (keyword provide not support). A lot of these females out here have the game twisted. Men want a woman who can hold a nine to five and bring home some money to. It’s a turn on to a man to see a woman be independent, Mr. Foxx said it best: “I love her cause she got her own.” If you don’t know, then you better ask somebody.
So, how did the Pride and Prejudice turn out in the end you ask? Well let’s just say that for you to know that you should watch it. Another thing about people these days is that they don’t appreciate a good classic. Darcy did have a lot of work to do to get over his prejudice that he had for Elizabeth because he realized that her circumstances, her inferior birth, and her embarrassing mother were things that she could not control nor should be counted against her. If a guy saw a woman at least trying to make an effort in her life to reach her goals then he would love to be with her, because after all he wants is to be with someone that will keep him motivated when it comes to achieving his goals. Take some time to meditate on that food for thought and see if it doesn’t help change your life.

Boo, you have done it again. I can speak for myself on the term that a man will respect you more if you can do for yourself. Trust I know. With my occupation the majority of people are guys and it kills me when they ask, "So, if and your dude went out on a date would you pay for the bill?" The answer is always yes. Why you may ask... because if he never existed in my life then I would be paying for my own food anyways. I laugh at the next question that follows there after, "So, if you don't depend on a dude to pay your bills then who do you depend on?" That person is me, myself, and I. Hell I wake up every morning to make sure to do what I have to do to survive. Sometimes it's hard but I have always been taught that no one can ever put you first like you can. So that brings me to the point....No man wants his lady to depend on him for EVERYTHING. It's not attractive because trust and believe the guys that I work with show no mercy calling a female every name under the sun except the name she was given for banking on looks and body. To end this i would like to say.... because if all you have to offer is your want for money and the finer things in life then don't get mad when that independent chick walks up and walks away with your man.
