    the day my whole life changed was when i was 23 and fuckin with a married bitch. i used to play the nice guy card but with this woman i didn’t give a fuck. i showed her i cared but i still held her head against the fucking wall while i beat it up. and i never ever ever saw a bitch get so attached to me before that. she even told me at one point, “it’s like you can be this kind, caring, emotional guy… and then turn into a pussy killing machine. i need it.”

    blew my motherfuckin mind! this information needs to be given to every dude straight out of high school

    Real Talk..I don’t think his cousin is gay…

    A lot of niggas got different styles when they approach women..

    Not all niggas are tying to get a nut…or fuck the pussy..

    Some niggas respect, adore and cherish women..

    I got a couple of homeys…That are labeled the “nice guys” or “simps”..

    They respect their women…they’d do everything…

    And they’re not about smashing and dashing…they give women their time…and they look for a “Good woman”

    I’m an asshole…I treat women like shit…but they still come back…I tell them niggas..”Good girls” dont exist..

    My Little Cousin he just graduated from high school committed to Santa Clara to play soccer and he is mulling reneging and going to a fucking Community college here in town to be close to his soon to be senior in high school Girlfriend. I looked at that motherfucker like he was dead to me. We have taught him since he was 14 that pussy wasnt shit. His brother’s pimp game is strong, the blueprint was layed out and this kid turned around and shat on it.

    The game done changed(c)GOAT

    Tell your cuzzin next time he around that bitch. just go ape shit over something small and punch a hole in a wall..

    Beleive me she’ll respect him from then on. Bitches need to know that you can be semi-psycho

  12. Mr. Hannukah Says:
    July 23rd, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    there’s nothing gay about thong, the problem is he’s a guy who has it exactly wrong. he thinks the attention and the respect and the niceties and the secrete ((c) fux) treatment is “game.” that’s actually the opposite. game is when you don’t call a chick for a week until she’s goes blind staring at her phone waiting for you to call and then you hit her off with that text message at 11:14 pm on a sunday night on some disrespectful shit like “you know you’re thinking about me, come over” and then you don’t get a text back but she’s at your door in 14 minutes in sweats tucked into ugz boots and a tanktop with her hair pulled back and light make-up on, ready for whateva. that’s game.

    Real Talk…Don’t ever be nice or respectful to woman….Woman don’t like the “Nice Guys”…

    they don’t like the niggas that will do anything and everything for them…and simp for them…

    They want the assholes, the jocks, the jerks…the niggas that treat them like shit….beat the pussy up and gag them…

    they want that dude…not the “nice guy”

    good girls exist pre-18. by then they’re getting so much attention, it’s not even that they learn how to use guys, it’s that their needs and desires change. they get bored very quickly

    Word who hasnt, but at what age is this not right?? or is it more an over under Pussy’s on the jacket kind of deal? not really age???
    ________________________________________________________

    I’d say like 24 but it is an over under pussy on the jacket type of thing too.

    I remember I had this chick that I dated for like 9 months when I was 22-23. Bitch was super model hot…I’d show up to bars and clubs with her and all eyes were on her. But I was stupid and fell waaay too hard for the pussy. She was able to pull that shit that this chick is pulling on your cousin for a while. SMH at myself.

    The Game is To be Sold Not to Be told(c)WestCoast GOAT

    I have a fucking headache right now thinking of all this shit.

    peep this. My Cuzzo the simp, had a cousin from his side visit from Chicago. She immediately was feeling the kid and another Cousin of mine Jesus. Well she was like I wish Thongs didnt tell about you guys, cuz you two are soo cool. THIS NIGGA TOLD HER EVERYTHING ABOUT US and We still could have got her drawls. I didnt out of respect of my cousins emotional state. My Cousin Jesus on the other hand got his dick sucked and told Thongs the next day, motherfucker had a tear in his eye.

    done and done.

    ^We all go thru it (pause) at one point or another i’m still going thru it with my ex, it’s just something about that bitch I can’t stay away from. My whole family hates her, like she can’t come to family gatherings, nothing, but I still creep with the bitch. smh @ self

    word to the girl i was “seeing” who called me a selfish jerk who never cared about her, and that i could rot in hell, coming to me during work with an iced capp (Us canadians and that Tim Horton’s iced cap, google it if you don’t know) talking bout she wants peace talks… guess who’s beating that pussy again without “seeing” her this time around… nice guys finish last

    All you niggas fucking around with married woman…be very careful…that pussy can cost you niggas your lives..

    A Nigga might fuck you up for fucking his girlfriend…but a Nigga will definitely kill/murder you for fucking his wife..

    I’ve fucked with a lot of engaged/married woman…I regret it…very stressful times for me..

    What kinda family does your cousin have? Sometimes when peoples parents were like “high school sweethearts” [ll] or virgins before they married (yeah right) it fucks with their kids’ heads when it comes to relationships. They think life is some sort of chick flick.

    one time in a drunk stupur, my baby moms before the baby, dropped me off at my house at 2am and said I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I ran 10 miles to her house got there at 4am declaring my fucking love to her.

    THAT DAY I LOST FOR LIFE, sure she took me back and we had a beautiful CHILD. but all things being equal I lost.

    She always brought up that moment. declaring HOW IN LOVE I USED TO BE WITH HER. I could never live up to that moment, ever again.

    Chicks can fuck up all your training my oldest son acts like I never taught him nothing he listens to her.
    all my 25 years of schooling down the drain and shes a white girl and they had a child my 1st grandchild. They live with her family which is something i also told him never to do and the baby is around them all the time so when she comes to my house as soon as i try to hold her she crys and she watches me the whole time shes here and its not just me if anyone thats not light skin or white trys to hold her she screams like your killing her. She only lets her father whose lite and my younger children hold her she likes kids but I think shes racist but i love her anyway. Why don’t kids ever listen SMDH
