The Awkward, Black Boy Nerd and Why He Deserves a Chance

[Lo-Co]

omg wth? Why do they get paid so much?

some are entertaining streamers that are consistent. and some pander to men. usually by showing cleavage while using overlays that focus on them more than the actual game, basically becoming a borderline cam show that happens to show games. some women have complained that it caused an influx of online harassment.

heres a popular twitch streamer that commented on it.

One of y'all brehettes better hop on that streaming wave. Look at pewdie pie, nikka ain't even funny and made millions off YouTube and endorsements.

Thanks.

I am prone to razor bumps... but when I use this, not only do I not get bumps but the hair grows much faster (and evenly).

About 30 dollars will last you 2 months if you use it sparingly. You might be able to get it cheaper though.

Damn near 1000 posts

Just wanted to come in and say Ernest Baker used to post on SOHH and had a mental meltdown

Damn, for real? That must have been before my time. What happened?

He was everything u would expect a Complex writer to be. Lame, from a rich family, swagless. He stood out like a sore thumb

What was the name of the website you worked for?

Black Nerd Dating - Home

Serious relationships? Or anything serious?
Only "thug" I was with was a friend with benefits. He said I was his, but I don't consider it a serious relationship because I wasn't ready for that. I only count him as a thug because he had guns, used to trap and did credit card scams.

So one, might be 2 in the future.

What made the thug dude so sexually attractive to you?

 

[Neuromancer]

you're proving my point. Ppl are allowed to have certain interests without having labels put on them.

Good back to ban land.

Breh Michael Jackson was a clean motown pop act.
But Rick James ? Cameo ? What do you think these guys represented ?

AND PLEASE Don't tell me you just used mister " 'Cause you had a pocket full of horses. Trojan and some of them used."
as an example of "not a bad boy".
Prince EPITOMIZES a racy ROCK/R&B Star, in fact, I couldn't pick a more apt example.

I also don't agree with the idea that music has THAT much of an effect on a person's behavior, something
I have and will continue to stand behind.


IN THIS THREAD we embrace the idea of a "Thug Culture" but when Trump says it or Fox News says it or Don Lemon says it...it's a problem.

Sorry that I can't see Prince like a bad boy as much as I see later rappers etc.
I remember those early 90's days and no one had to be a bad boy or even remotely a thug. You had to just to available. I can't think of anyone who had to resort to whining about not finding a girl. You could be a regular Joe and you could eat. That started to change with Gangsta Rap and got worse with Baller / Shiny Suit Rap - coincidence - I don't think so ...

Exactly. Things may be getting better now with images of the non hypermasculine black male, but the 90s to late 00s was a mess.

He's cute, funny, very smart, great smile, assertive and ambitious. I was the weird one in that relationship tho. I was the commitmentphobe.

I really hate the label thug. His father was a principal. He worked at a hospital in Long Island. He didn't really get in any trouble. He just grew up in the hood.

I touched on this in the bitter bytchmade thread I made earlier. You know how there's a saying, you probably don't get along with certain people because they remind you of yourself?

I feel like certain self-proclaimed "nerds" dislike thugs because they want to be assertive or confident like them, but feel that they are to awkward to. Like a self fulfilling prophecy.

I dislike insecure men because I also suffer with insecurity and I feel like because they are men they should be better than me. I want to spend time with someone who makes me a better person, or we make eachother better people. I don't want to be around people who bring me down. A lot of the time people like to bond over misery and sit and stew in it. I want more.
