The Feminization Of Straight Men
The Following Blog is an excerpt from FunkyMinds: Girly Guys – The Feminization of Straight Men
Words by: Jackpot AKA H.D. AKA Desckabaissses: Hearing my homegirls vent on the guys they’ve been dating, girly dudes are becoming quite trendy. I’m not talking about wardrobe, like… wearing scarves inside, but behavior. So if this keeps up I doubt girls will wanna hang out with men who act like chicks if they can’t stand estrogen in the first place. So, after consulting a few homegals, I thought I’d list several ways men are becoming girlier.
GOSSIP: There’s a fine line between gossip and back talk. Let’s face it, we all talk behind people’s backs (minus my boys EP and Roberto), but gossipers are plain nosy. They run with information whether it’s confirmed or not -often spreading rumors in the process. For instance, my girl (friend) went to a function with her platonic friend (who so happens to like her) not too long ago. To make a long story short, her friend’s acquaintance tried to holler unsucessfully. Next thing you know, the platonic friend confronted my homegirl on some, “I heard you gave so and so your number.” Sounds like a pathological gossiper to me. A) Dude wasn’t even there when his boy tried to holler. B) He got his information from a third party. C) He chose to run with unconfirmed info rather than check with my homie first.
HE SAY, HE DID: This is definitely an extension of gossiping. It’s like romantic snitching. A man should never tell another man’s business to get out of the dog house or make himself look better. That’s one of the foundations of the G Code (Guy Code). I myself got wind of some stiletto ass negros I barely know spreading my business earlier this year. If the gossip wasn’t straight out fabricated, it undoubtedly was reported based on third party information. That is so high pitch!
SIDEBAR: Be on the lookout. Sam please say the Ed and I are currently working on a short film entitled, The G Code starring the original Bedford Boys, Dallas Penn, Mark Lelinwalla and others.
TMI: There comes a point in a relationship where girls don’t wait for you to ask about their day and just go in. They’ll talk about getting their nails done, going to the spa and a bunch of crap dudes don’t give damn about. But we know better, so we listen. Guys ask each other about their day too. We say, what up, what’s new, what’s the latest, what’s good, etc, etc. But I’ll be darned if some dude just starts telling me about his day without me asking him the deal. Example:
[Guys walks up to me and shakes my hand]
Guy: Yeah, this morning I woke up, yawned then took a shower, ate breakfast, went to the bookstore…
[I look at Guy crazy]
Then I called my homegirl, she didn’t pick up, so I called her again. She finally picked up, so we went to lunch, had a glass of wine, it wasn’t good. Then I went to the movies, it was sold out…Dude, shut up!
