earlier this week the very smart brothas (more specifically the champ) got me to thinking as their posts are apt to do: 5 things men say (and do) when we're just running game. while reading this, i had many a palm-to-forehead moment in between spurts of audible laughter and shit, damn, mutherfucker.
i got got. many a time. by some ain't shit negros dressed in degrees and self-righteousness who i really shoulda known better than to get got by. and then while discussing men and games generally and men aint shit but hoes and tricks in particular with rum punch i thought to myself, why men gotta play games? and rum punch replied so lovely, why can't he just say i like you and you like me, can we be?
exactly! truth and beauty, rum punch, truth and beauty.
i know there are men (or at least one man) out there who don't run game. or who didn't run game with me. or did they? they didn't? no they didn't. and as i think about what's most important in a mate, i find myself wading past all the superficial requirements i thought (and the pressures of my own black bougie socioeconomedumacationalized achievements and standards dictated) i MUST have in the person i marry. cause let's be honest, we aint getting no younger and who am i gonna do this with? the guys who seemed so good on paper are the ones who had the most game that at the time i thought was [fill in the blank].
but alas i remain single. and they've moved on to bigger and better deer (or doe). the one who they didn't wanna game. who they just wanted to be with. forever. so now i'm thinking i'd rather have a man who isn't flashy, balling outta control, the most sought after dude, or even the most swaggerific so long as he doesn't try to game me. that's it. number one on the list.
don't
game
me
just be you. no bullshit smokescreens or defense mechanisms.
ready for a relationship. right. now.
don't fuck my head up by saying i intimidate you.
know you're more than worthy of a woman like me.
wanna be all up under me on a rainy saturday afternoon.
leave me at the house to go watch games with your friends, not to find some cut friends.
simply
love me.
like me.
co-write me.
take care of me.
protect me.
be regular.
that's all i want. really. ahhhh, that it were so easy.
to start the weekend off right, a somewhat related musical selection. chuckin' up the dueces to all those who gamed me...

MJ -
Unfortunately game playing IS a part of the game called LIFE. Honesty doesn't seem to be the best policy anymore...frontin' and posin' seem to be the norm. But don't werry,MJ...Mr. Right will come along for you when he's supposed to! Enjoy being single and dating (although it seems painful to be dating nowadays with all of these pretenders!) because when you get murried, it's a LOT more work!
And that's the DOUBLE-TRUTH, Ruth!
