For Anonymous - and anyone else...

A little over a week ago I posted a blog that seemed to get me some attention. Comments started coming in and my message in the banter seemed to have gotten lost. So, I have decided to put my message in simpler terms.

I started out with a monologue about all the stereotypes that men have. As some of them are true and many men are this way... not all men are all-inclusive of this list. In fact, some gentlemen have only one or two of the qualities, some have none.

My POINT was that men as a whole are being grouped into one category no matter how good or bad they are.

There, now isn't that better? You can stop reading there but if you would like to read my explaination, you may continue.

Let's take guy 'A'. 'A' is a nice fellow, raised by his mom and dad, momma tought him how to treat women. She tought him how to be a gentleman, opening the doors, or pulling out chairs, stuff like that; as well as teaching him the basics about trustworthiness and honor and respect.

'A' met a girl in his later years. This girl just came out of a tough relationship with guy 'B'.

Guy 'B' was raised similarly, a nice family, taught well. But guy 'B' didn't seem to catch that whole thing about trustworthiness, honor, and respect. The girl broke up with guy 'B' because she caught him bangin' some other girl while she was at work.

So 'A' and the Girl start going out. The girl is still pretty broken up about this whole thing, why wouldn't she - but now she has no reason to doubt that 'A' won't do the same damn thing! Should she? We'll never know, because the girl ends up not commiting to the relationship to find out.

OK, that's a fake story - but this is what I'm trying to say. Guy 'A' is a nice guy, and even though he makes mistakes, he's not blatenly lying or cheating on his women. Guy 'B' was, and it was guy 'B' that gave men that bad reputation I was talking about. Why do guys choose to cheat and lie? I'm a guy who does not cheat or lie, but yet I can't ask women to trust me because of the last guy they were with that fucked them over!

Guys make mistakes, it's the ones who either 1. don't learn from them, or 2. lie or cheat that make it difficult for the ones who really work to be good to their women.

And women! Don't think you're off the hook here, women are a whole different story. But I don't want this to turn into a he said/she said - battle of the sexes type thing. I'm a DJ, that's what I do - I'm just expressing my thoughts through my life for all of you to read.

Anyway, I hope that gets my point across - be good to yourselves, and each other.
