No, I totally get it now. I legit didn’t know women had never been on real dates.
All the girls around me were getting rent paid and cars and shyt. I was good and stayed with my one college boyfriend for years

(not saying I “missed out”), but he was good to me so I couldn’t complain about maltreatment or anything.
I remember some girls caught an attitude because I said you didn’t need money to go to the club.

I really didn’t know

But I always encourage folks to think highly of themselves and not to put other men or women on pedestals. I still know what it feels like for a dude to not be feeling me or my look and I’ll be damned if that shapes how I feel about myself or makes me beg for his acceptance.
We all just have to strive to be the best versions of ourselves, make prudent decisions and rock with those who value us.
