My things i want to achieve

- get the A+ and get a job that pays more than 15 an hour

- move out my parents house

-Do boxing

-Go out a lot more

- make more friends

- travel a lot

- start my own business

Good list! Doing these things at 23, you’ll have a solid foundation for yourself as you get older.

I wish I knew about the A+ since 20. I would have been did that shyt, then maybe I wouldn't have had so much school debt and wouldn't have to worry about having a career.

It's good you have a plan outside college so you can avoid debt.

Boxing is fun af!!

With that type of sport I would make sure you keep at it continuously because I'm mad that I stopped for so many years and felt I missed out on being super nice!!

Contrary to popular belief on here, I do agree that you should go out more, even solo if you have to.

This might deserve a thread of its own, but going out just makes you feel good; you get a cut, get fresh, put some smell goods on, talk to bytches, etc.

Getting fresh makes my night because if not then, when you really gonna get fresh for?

I agree with going out more than the average person, just feels good to let loose have a bytch grindin on ya dikk, while you sip a drink.

:takedat:





I'm 6 months into being 23 and i already wish i had done things differently


Gotten the A+ earlier. I've been saying I'm gonna get it since i was 20. But since i dropped out of college my confidence is shyt. I tell myself i won't study becuase I'll fail anyway


My things i want to achieve

- get the A+ and get a job that pays more than 15 an hour

This shyt haunts me to this day. I hate giving out bad/quick D. I feel like no matter how many good D you give out to chicks, just having one bad D story to your name sinks your whole ship.

But alas, it happens to everyone.
Breh... DAP + REP.

It's nightmare fuel. Thinking she talking to her girlfriends about the past and your name comes up...

:picard:

She's like, "oh Pres, yea... That nikka... Mm.. Smh... nikka could not throw the dikk for shyt. A shame, too."


I almost want to through up imagining that.

But, yea, I know you know how I feel. shyt is tragic. Especially after the hyping up I did. Wasn't on some loud extravagant shyt... I would speak sensually about being dedicated to making sure my woman was pleased and shyt...

And most times I would but hwme you talk like that... You have to be pristine otherwise...

LITERALLY the only thing you can do is boss up as much as possible after that. To mitigate the damage as much as possible. Much like the initial pull up, the responsibility for great sex is always on the man, which makes shyt pressure at times for whatever reason.

This.

Another thing I would do differently in my 20s is to mitigate that pressure.

I should have realized "Pres, if she wants to fukk, she is probably not on some Trump 'ya fired' shyt after the first time. Talk about it, she'll probably be okay with first time jitters and missteps. If you flop the first time, set up the second time".

As young men, shyt even as a man now, we get worried because of the narrative that
  • ALL WOMEN WANT A RELATIONSHIP IF SHE IS WILLING TO HAVE SEX.
  • The only women that are okay with no strings attached sex are "hoes" and every other derogatory term for women.
That bullshyt makes nikkas afraid that they have to 1) trick a "wholesome" woman into no strings attached sex and 2) since they had to trick them, at any minute, the persuasion effect could dissipate and she most likely will be like, "Oh my goodness, I'm a woman of God, you heathen! You almost made me sin!!!"

So we feel like, "Damn, I have to have nothing go wrong this first time or I might not get another chance!":russ:

I would have told 20 year old Pres, "nikka, fukk all that slut and hoe talk. Don't fukk a woman who you think is not on some cautious and safe shyt with the nikkas she does fukk, that's all. Many women would be okay with sexual experience if they believe the man is not going to look at her like she's a hoe. If a woman wants YOU, she will most definitely be okay with the first time y'all fukk it being exploration and getting to know each other's body type of a vibe and there WILL be another opportunity. Calm down and enjoy the p*ssy without being too selfish and if something goes haywire, laugh about it and talk about the experience and how you can't wait for the next time. "

Man...only now have I realized that that was the cheat code. My main, throughout that whole time? I could fukk for hours, and ironically, her p*ssy was better than all of theirs and her head was better than most. So it wasn't about feeling, it was about performance pressure.

Before my commitment to being faithful(the hardest challenge ever), I'd make light comments about the first time I'm about to fukk a jawn, like, "You know, every time we are intimate, I'm going to know your body better and better, right? shyt, I might just come quick if that p*ssy crazy that first time. But if that happens, my dikk is going to be on some revenge shyt come the next time. I hope your shyt is mediocre." <--as I type this shyt, it sounds so corny to read outside of the actual application but "shyt you say to women" never sounds good outside of when you're successfully doing it. :russ: Of course I don't usually come quick, lmao. Like that's not a nikka's M.O and shyt. LMAO. But I'm able to be a bit more playful about that shyt because I know her being comfortable with giving me her body doesn't mean I'm tricking her and I have to do this bank robbery correct on the first try. I know most women love the sexual growth, even if she's not thinking relationship.

Waste of time and money. All I did was nut in girls, smoke weed and learn shyt that didnt help me life. I'm in a positon that isnt related to my two degrees and I'm in because I do a good job, not the piece of paper.
What was your degree? What's your current job

Man...I feel like these young nikka only want to hear the outrageous skeetsinternal situations that as very unique to him and then women he attracts. Most nikkas, hopefully, aren't around only women who would be THAT dangerously and recklessly unsafe.

But real shyt that a black man can and will experience regarding relationships, sex, infidelity and shyt, I'm all about that type of thread if they are out there.

--------------------------

I think about all the p*ssy I was unaware, until now, that was offered to me. Breh...those stories would make nikkas LAUGH.

And again, we pass on so much mature, wholesome and safe p*ssy because of the woman who is sending the hints. nikkas, me included, would be like, "Wait...is she talking to me like that because she wants the dikk?:patrice: nah, can't be, I mean, she isn't even a hoe or nothing, and I know she probably is the type who wants a relationship before fukking. Nah, I'm not even going to bite, I don't even feel like lying for a couple weeks acting like I want to have a relationship with her..."

Meanwhile, she has already decided that she trusts you enough to not think you're the type to think she's a slut because she's a mature woman who is comfortable with her body and wants to experience something with an equally mature nikka. And won't have to lie our way to p*ssy. :wow:


I thought I knew it all just because I was feeling myself and I was getting attention and p*ssy and I was so fukking wrong!

I would READ so much on my free time. I would read while waiting for class to start. I would read on the train. I would read on the line at gov't offices.

i actually used to do this alot in my undergrad years...but once that was over...i never got on track...the only time i ever read now for recreation is when im on a plane or bus ride and its terrible
