The Stripper Mentality Is Running Rampant

This myTake is in reference to the video see above. Click that link, watch it, read the comments and then read this myTake.

My life is so busy, so I barely participate on GAG; HOWEVER, this is something that has caught my attention lately. I'll be 30 next month... and as a I get older, I really start to care less and less what those are doing around me. Yet, this is something I would like to discuss. It's just something I notice more and more from this younger generation.

When I was in my in my early 20s, I used to spend time in strip clubs. What I noticed about strippers is that they all have the same mentality about money and men. You are only a good man if you can pay their bills. When I used to go strip clubs, women would literally ask me to pay their light bills, their car note, their rent... you name it. When I would refuse, they would get upset and call me a "useless" and "cheap" man and call me "broke".

As I got older and became more confident with myself and started becoming better with women, I noticed that a lot of women have that stripper mentality. In fact, it seems to be ingrained in the rap/hiphop community.

What is that mentality? The mentality is... if you, a man, are with a woman, you are supposed to want to pay her bills and spoil her. Even if she doesn't need help, you as a man, should offer to pay her bills because that's what men do. If you don't offer to pay her bills or spoil her with gifts, you are a useless man. This kind of mentality is running rampant all over the place.

While I don't have a social media account of my own, I run social media account for some of clients... and some of the stuff I see from women is crazy. I see women saying things like, "don't talk to me, unless you have money for me" or "if you're not paying my bills, we have nothing to talk about" or "the quickest way to my heart is to pay my bills". Hell... I remember asking a girl on a date before and she asked me, "oh, are you going to pay my bills also?"

Maybe I was raised differently, but I never liked women who asked me to pay their bills or expected me to spoil them right off the bat. Maybe I'm just a different type of man. Hell... maybe I'm the one in the wrong?

I am a man who has his own money, so I expect a woman to have her own money. I always found it attractive when a woman didn't expect anything from me at all and can pay her own way. I would NEVER pay a woman's bills, especially if we are not married and there is no real commitment. If you are not married to the woman, you shouldn't be paying their bills.

I also don't spoil women. I may buy you a gift here and there, but you need to earn it. I am not going to go to the store and buy you a gucci bag and hundreds of dollars worth of clothing. That is what these women mean by "spoiling them". If you want me to spoil you, I will give you flowers to show I appreciate you. I will take you to your favorite restaurant if you get a promotion at work. I will go all out for you on your birthday and make it the best birthday you ever had. But, I am not going to "spoil" you with expensive gifts every week.

Basically, in that video, it was alarming to me to see how many women agreed with her. I feel like today women expect a lot from men, but they don't want to put in a lot of effort. There is more to life than "sucking" and "fucking" and you should not expect a man to pay your bills if you "suck" and "fuck" him. That's prostitution. Not indepence. If you want and expect a man to pay your bills and spoil you, you are not independent.

A relationship should be about the time you spend together. A man and woman should be equal and partners. You are a TEAM. That seems to be forgotten in today's generation. If you don't bring nothing to the table, expect good sex... you shouldn't expect anything. Have some morals. Have some respect for yourself.
