Bitchmania


Today while between classes I ended up watching vh1 and I guess they were showing a marathon of "Basketball Wives." In watching some of the show I turned to my friend once I noticed something. There are a whole bunch of shows built off of a group of women and them conflicting. during this observation BOOM! Another brand new show debut called Mob Wives. Think about it, what's going on? You have Football Wives, Bad Girls Club, The Real Housewives of whomever. The list goes on, but we as a society are enthralled with it.

How do they get us? Well I'll tell you how they get me. Many times they find some fine ass women with some fine ass ASSets and they get them to wear fine ass clothes and there you have it! I mean it's that simple for me :D. But seriously I began to think why aren't there a bunch of shows with fellas living in the same house with some common goal. There is an abundance of these reality shows involving women, and these women many times just beefing with each other.

I happen to like many of the women on the different seasons of these shows and it may be the primary reason I watch. When I was younger I was all with these shows because I loved the fights and blah blah. As I've grown I have almost grown a disdain for some of the behavior I see. Maybe it's just me but the backstabbing and sheer unladylike behavior is repulsive. Maybe one show would be enough but many of these shows are one in the same and I just think it shows women in a horrible light. Maybe I'm just rambling but what do you think?

    My mind is moving a mile a minute with this one...it's sad but watching people degrade themselves is entertainment. Especially women. Its like...boom...the formula for good television is sex, fighting and ignorance. The worst part is not the people in these shows but the people who watch it. Because if they didn't have an audience, they wouldn't have a job.

Why Does The "WYD Guy" Exist and How Do We Get Rid of Him?

Image
It baffles me that in my late 20's I still hear stories about guys who lack conversational skills. I've alluded to this in past pieces, one of which you can check out here . That piece was written over 3 years ago. Today this type of guy is labeled as the "wyd guy." He's the dude that texts "wyd" ad nauseam throughout a given day.  Over the past few months, I've noticed that women continue to deal with this kind of person. I was curious to know what some experiences were like for you ladies. I reached out to a few good women to pick their brain. Hopefully you all share the goods. Let's get into it. Have you seen a decline in male conversational skills through the years? Tass :  First question. I haven't seen any studies suggesting a decline in the conversational skills of men. What I personally see is the continuation of low expectations and accountability for men unable to have strong communication skills outside of business/sport...

Maybe A Man Should Love A Woman More Than She Loves Him?

Image
Courtesy: Everything Girls Love It's been 6 years since The Best Man Holiday released.  After going out to catch that movie, a conversation ensued where I heard the phrase that a man should love a woman more than she loves him. Naturally, I wrote about it. You can read the piece here.  At the time I didn't agree with the phrase and I saw it more at a surface level. But with time, experience and growth, I now view the phrase differently. Initially I felt like people should go into relationships as equals in pretty much every sense. But as of late, I've been thinking about what kind of man I'd want a future child of mine to date, or my niece, or any other lady family member for that matter. What began to occur was that I started thinking about what it means to date deliberately. What is trying to be accomplished? I realized that no matter what, I'm trying to convey that the said person is my clear choice. The whole idea of a man "loving" a ...

Maybe Men Are Trash

Image
Admittedly, in younger years I was one of those "not all men" type of men.  Please bare with me as I feel the collective eye rolls of any woman reading this. But in recent times I'm noticing that what I was doing in those former moments was not taking myself out of the equation. At the time I thought that I was, but I really wasn't. In recent years, through my dating journeys and speaking with different women, I realize that there are just way too many horror stories about men out there. In the past I've touched on subjects like first date conversations , or the corniness of leaking nudes , or guys being selfish in bed , but the issues I continue to hear far surpass even any of those things. I mean I've heard stories of men lacking taking initiative or just not possessing common courtesy. Hell, men paying on dates still rile up anyone's timeline. I began to think that there are way too many egregious transgressions we commit as men to disagree with what th...
