How Do I Put This Nicely? Pt.II (Man Edition)



As you know... March is "Man Month" on Bitchy & Beautiful
So this edition of "How Do I Put This Nicely, is from the guys for the girls...

Here is a list of the 5 difficult things men want to tell women and some tactful/creative ways to break it to them: (With input from Bitchy & Beautiful Male Readers)
.I.
PROBLEM: You think she might've been a hoe in a former life.
WRONG: "You can’t turn a hoe into a housewife."
RIGHT: "I'd prefer not to dwell on your past, lets get tested & get it poppin."

Ok, I don’t know if people really say "get it poppin" like that anymore but if you only care that she has a clean bill of health; get tested together, wait out the window period & commence to fuckin.

Big Johnson says... “Everyone has a history! If u deal with people based on past acts you'd never meet anyone.”

Truth in Lies says:  “The only thing that I don't want to hear about a woman's sexual history is how good another man was.”

Case & Point ladies, have a convo with him, get to know him and if you have a "colorful past" like adventurous bloggers *clears throat* either tell him your "body count" upfront, or tactfully decline to answer the question. After all, every man wants you to fuck like a pornstar without having slept with more than one man. He'll get over it.
.II.
PROBLEM: You're not interested in her. 
WRONG: "You're wack!"
RIGHT: "Relationships & dating aren't at the top of my list of priorities."

(Girls) Regardless of how he says it... you've been dumped. (Read this: Dumped or this: Not into You)
(Guys) Don't expect her to read your mind, if you can't say it nicely but it needs to be said, say it, get it over with & accept that she will always tell her friends you had a small dick. (We don’t admit when we’ve been dumped.)

According to Roe E. the best ways to tell if a man isn't interested in you are:
  • Doesn't want to spend time with her. 
  • Doesn't ask how things are going in her life. 
  • Doesn't show her affection like he used to. 
  • Doesn't care about the problems going on in her life.
Honorable Mention: “If I'm not initiating contact, I'm not into her.”-Big Johnson

.III.
PROBLEM: You! (You and your ways are his problem)
WRONG: Indirect, snide remarks.
RIGHT: Say it like you mean it.
When asked: "What are some things you've wanted to say to women but didn't know how to say it nicely?"

Big Johnson said: "That I want some head and just some head"

The God 42 said: "You are a bum and why you still living at home and you go out clubbing and have mad kids. Get your priorities straight."

Roe E. said: "Wear less make-up. Be more natural. Don't follow trends. Be more original. Be comfortable with who you are. Be happy. Be healthy."

.IV.
PROBLEM: You think she might've been a hoe in a former life
WRONG: "Did you have sex with...?"
RIGHT: ...

(Girls) Now, I know I addressed this as number one, but there are men who want to know a number or at least a ballpark or if the amount of men you've slept with can fill a ballpark.

(Guys) I struggled coming up with a "right" way to ask a woman how many men she's slept with, so you're on your own... but thanks to Guy Code: Decoded, here's a little insight into how to ask & what number is an acceptable answer.

"Only an insecure man asks that question". -Big Johnson
"In all reality probably 8-10"- Truth in Lies
"3 to 5"- The God 42
"I would say the number should be somewhere between a handful and no more than 2-3 times the number of years that she has been begun puberty. For example if she’s begun puberty 10 years ago, 30 is probably a somewhat high number. But it's all circumstantial. Everybody goes through phases in their lives that may lead to higher promiscuity than average."- Roe E.

*Gotta love Roe E for the equation.

.V.
PROBLEM: You don't love her.
WRONG: "Bitch, I dont luh you."
RIGHT: "Wow, I'm flattered that you feel that way, but I'm not ready to reciprocate that."

(Guys) Guard your faces, groin, car & anything else you value because if she doesn't burst into tears, she's going to break everything you do love.

This is another one of those things you need to tell someone that you just cant say in a "nice" way. If you don't love a woman... DO NOT tell her you love her. You're just setting yourself up for a lot of shit you cant handle in the long run. Nip that bitch in the bud.

(Girls) Don’t ask a million questions, wipe your tears & decide what you’re going to do. Do you want to stay with him, or do you want to leave?
You know the drill: SOUND OFF! Whose opinions do you agree with? Which contributor do you think is a complete idiot? I'd like to know if you can guess the relationship status of each contributor. Did I leave anything out? Ladies, what would you want to hear? Fellas? What are your thoughts? Comment. Subscribe & Share.

Scandal: Why Women Hate to Love to Hate Olivia Pope

Its 10pm on a Thursday night and if you have a pulse, you're watching ABC's Scandal.

I'm not here to discuss why the show is amazing. I'm here to address why people love and hate Olivia Pope.

Ok, here's an overview of the show. Olivia Pope, played by Kerry Washington (loosely based on a real person: Judy Smith) is an African American woman and crisis management professional based in Washington D.C, she is a political advisor, confidant to & mistress of caucasian President Fitzgerald "Fitz" Grant (long story short, watch the damn show).

Now, if you're still reading this, you might be thinking... "Why don't people like Olivia?", if you watch the show, you might be thinking... "Why don't people like Olivia?", if you're a woman married to or in a relationship with a man who has a wandering eye, or a man who happens to slip and fall into the vaginas of other women, you might be thinking... "I cant stand that bitch!"

Ride or Die Chick

As a 26 year old, Black woman from the Bronx, the phrase "Ride or Die Chick" is one I am all too familiar with.

If you're not someone who is familiar or engulfed in Hip Hop culture, allow me to school you really quick. (Feel free to take notes).

The phrase "Ride or Die Chick" (also known as a "Down Ass Bitch"-thanks Ja Rule) was coined by 1990's hip-hop crew The Ruff Ryders, spearheaded by rapper DMX. A "Ride or Die Chick" is a woman who sticks with her man through all circumstances, she's his biggest fan when he's doing well and she's his confidant when he's down and out. A "Ride or Die Chick" will commit a crime with/for you, bail you out of jail, write your resume, get into physical altercations with you as well as on your behalf. A "Ride or Die Chick" is the modern day Bonnie to your Clyde. (Think of every rap song with an R&B singer in between 1990-forever)

The "Ride or Die Chick" ideology is not exclusive to urban culture. Here are a list of women who one might consider a "Ride or Die Chick":
  • Hillary Clinton (because Bill did have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky)
  • Tasheera Simmons (Ex-wife of rapper DMX)
  • Vanessa Bryant (she didn't have to be with Kobe shooting in the gym)
  • Olivia Pope (If you watch Scandal, I dont have to tell you why, if you dont watch Scandal...you're the only one.)
I digress. In many cultures the "Ride or Die Chick" is glorified. (Check out the definition according to UrbanDictionary.com).
