Guest Post: The Flavors of Men (Pause)
**Today we have a guest post from another 2009 Black Weblog Award Finalist (Vote for her and for 3 Ways). She’s been nominated in the Best Personal and Best Humor Blog categories. I give it to you 3 ways the Twitter and bloggin’ machine, the community activist, the source of many laughs, the one and only………….Luvvie! -Slim**
This is a real life photo. Hot huh?
***Mr. Mama’s Boy — This guy is attached to his Mother in a very unnatural way that he should have outgrown a long time ago. He speaks with her multiple times a day, consults her on every decision he makes, and will drop EVERYTHING for her. This sounds fine at first, but when his Mother calls during a romantic rendezvous, and he talks to her for 1 hour while you’re sitting there in your lace negligee pouting, it will become irritating REAL quick. He just moved out of her house and has already planned to name his first daughter after her (and her name is Gertrude, Esther, or Meola). Warning: Mothers of Mama’s Boys will RARELY ever like you. (i.e. Usher, Justin Timberlake, Malik from “The Game)
***Mr. Urban Youth — This is the perpetual urban youth. He is 30 years old, still has cornrows in his hair, and can be seen in line at FootLocker EVERY time a new pair of Jordans come out. He still listens to Rap exclusively, and him dressed up is when he wears a pair of Havana Joes with a track jacket o_O. He thinks 401(k) is how much a Bentley costs, and if he was to stop buying white tees, the stock of cotton would plummet. Mr. Urban Youth never goes to a function that could require ACTUALLY dressing up, so you are limited to where you can take him. Oh & he still kicks it at the mall every Friday (i.e.Slim Thug & all the other Southern rappers).
***Mr. Sex God — This is that guy with the PERFECT body, GORGEOUS face, is a horizontal genius and… Well, yeah that’s about it. He induces certain unholy thoughts every time you see him. You think about your last night with him and you find yourself in a puddle. But he opens his mouth and makes you want to punch a teddy bear. He doesn’t have a respectable job, he is dumb as rocks and his idea of romance is calling you to talk 15 minutes before showing up at your door at 3am. However, between 3 and 5am, this guy is Zeus himself!! His Southside slippery slide game is so proper! He lets you realize why he has no job and can’t put together a string of words to save his life. BUT because of his BEAUTY (yes, some men are beautiful) and prowess in the sack, women keep him around. Don’t let that power of the P-E-N-I-S hold you hostage! (i.e. Jody in “Baby Boy”)!
***Mr. Commitment-Phobe — This is the guy who has all the things you look for in a man and could potentially be “the One”. He is romantic, intelligent, attractive AND your family loves him. The problem is that it took 8 months of dating before he claimed you as his girlfriend; whenever you spend the night at his place, he makes you leave at dawn so you won’t have to keep your toothbrush there; AND you’ve been going out for 6 years, but there is no engagement in sight. This is the guy that you have children by, and he still calls you his girlfriend/baby mama. You may blink and realize 10 years down the road that you’re sick of introducing your first love and father of your children as your “boyfriend”. Maybe someday, he will give you that ring (or 3), but don’t hold your breath (i.e. P. Diddy, T.I.).
***Mr. Beard — This is the guy who goes beyond being an extreme metrosexual. Unlike Mr. High Maintenance, there have been rumors of him creeping on the low with other men too. He is the one who has been spotted at gay clubs by your friends’ friend, yet he continues to stay in that STUFFY closet. He always has at least one girlfriend to act as his beard, yet no one ever believes their relationship (they clearly need more people). On a plus side, they make pretty good boyfriends (you know, apart from the fact that they may not like you anatomically) (i.e. John Legend, Ne-Yo, Eddie Murphy)
So umm… ladies, let’s try to avoid these fellas. They are more trouble than a scavenger hunt for a Dereon clutch that isn’t sequined. Or John Legend vest that actually, you know, fits. So for today, what does everyone think of this list and the definitions? Any additions or edits? Other celebrity examples? And for the men, co-sign or bullsheet? We want to hear it!
PEACE!

I’m actually a staunch advocate of this. My current girlfriend was what I like to term “hazed” for a period of 12 months before she was made my girlfriend. Now, the reason for this is when it comes to RELATIONSHIPs which are more like an investment and time (time = money) consuming I want to make sure this person is willing to put in the time and effort to make this thing work. Now if you can’t stick around and be my friend for at least a few months before I decide to possibly take it a step higher, then you don’t need to be around.

Like extreme sports or Fear Factor, he’ll see which girl can literally walk through the fire. For the purposes of my comment, we can say he might even “haze” you. Then you’ll end up the subject of a Saturday night MSNBC special report. Eek!

I agree. A lot of the problems in relationships stem from people jumping into one with someone who wasn’t right for them because they didn’t take time to get to know who the other person REALLY was. Not the representative, but the real farting, snoring, fried baloney sandwich eating, only gives head on birthdays person. If you can deal with that person, you have a relationship. But two months of someone only showing up in their good shirt on their best behavior ain’t the truth, Ruth.

It’s one thing if their hair is actually long and healthy looking, but a whole ‘nother when they have the braids that stop just below the earlobes.
Oh yea, my other pet peeve are men that dye their dreads and/or put them in designs.

Not even. My new rule: if you are over 20 with braids, you get put in the lame box. Long or short, what kind of job are you really looking to get with cornrows and zigzag parts? (unless you play sports professionally, then you can rock).

Guys that wear T-shirts that come to their knees, shorts that reach their ankles with boots.
Guys that wear stocking caps or du-rags under a rolled up skully hat that is propped on top of their head. Or, the hat is worn in a way that it appears like an oversized condom. Andddd, hats cocked to the side.

This post is GOLD. Mr. Urban Youth!? Let ‘em know! The only thing I would add to that particular description is that “once you cross the threshold of your 20′s, you need to be packing up all them THROWBACK JERSEY’S and giving them to your local GoodWill!” I cannot STAND for the life of me when I see a brother wearing some sort of throwback jersey (let’s use the NC Tarheels for example). So because of the baby blue and navy blue and white going on, you about to see this fool with a matching baby blue du-rag(also gots ta go!), his sweeping length of a jersey (most likely hits him just above the knees *hotdamn), and some sort of air jordans that happen to be the NC special edition with the baby blue, navy, and white….

My Lord… look at all this male bashing. What is this a Destiny Child video shoot?
Would it kill a black woman, for once, to say something kind about a brother? And you wonder why the good ones date white women (or latin sisters if they are smart).
Clearly I’m tight b/c I have all these traits, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. Why do you HAVE to stay away from these guys. Sure they aint ideal, But damn negro we can’t all be dating MLK. Not every relationship has to be about “being together forever.” Couldn’t you just date a flawed guy, have fun, and learn about some one who is different? Heck we might end up being the one.
Cheapo can help you plan for your future.
Momma’s boy will be an excellent father.
Anti-Commitment wont change his mind. He is careful when making decisions.
Urban Youth is alot of fun and simple.
Mr Beard can help you pick out a dress.
and we all know what the S. God is good for….smacking your ass, making you feel dirty and wild, than releasing that build up.
So stop throwing away good paynus, end up being that Cat Lady on the corner telling people to stay off her lawn.

I have yet to see a male venting session (maybe the good folks at threeway will host one). From what I have seen of black men, we pretty much keep our mouths shut while you run tell dat to your girlfriends.
Sure you need to vent.. but in EVERY Keiysha Cole song. Every Vivica Fox movie. Every stand up comedian on Comic View. Same topic over and over again: men flaws. Its over kill.
“trust me. there are more black men dating exclusively and married to black women than the opposite.”
Whoa. That is a true stat, but misleading. People will always marry with themselves more often than not. From what I can seen, no race of man is more willing to date outside of their own race than black men are.
The most popular form of interacial dating is black men with another race, see porn. (please note, the statements we are making don’t contradict each other). I know only one black men to ever say “I only date black”..and if I remember correctly he was a complete hypocrite by second semester.

i’ll give you that men don’t have venting sessions. you think you’re just telling it like it is whenver you list all the things wrong with black women, and list all the reasons why we are single and why you as black men like to date other races of women(even though i don’t believe some of you). I’ve seen on several blogs lists just like this except it’s titled “6 Women you should stay away from” or “Why high maintenance women get no love” or something like that. So, you may not call it a venting session, but that’s what it is. And the women who comment on those topics usually don’t hate on those topics b/c they know there is some truth in it. Just like there is truth in the list Luvvie provided.
i agree black men are more willing to outside their own race, but i question the number of men who actually do date outside of their race. I know a lot of men who have had sex with other races of women, but i don’t know many who have actually dated these women. It’s almost like some black men talk about dating other races of women whenever they get mad at a black woman about something…like a blog post. makes me wonder if some of you are just talking, and not actually dating.

Sorry I meant to comment sooner, but the man was hating.
Let me slow my own roll and try to just state some pts instead of sending shots.
1) Women be hating: its a common theme in black woman culture to focus on the difficulties of being in a relationship with a black men. Almost like an obsession. We get it, relationship are hard.
2)I don’t have cornrows. But I am going to bring back the S-curl this fall… the only one I actually fit into is El Cheapo. But I’m Haitian, I’m suppose to be cheap.
3)For the most part I was just being a hater. It was actually a good read. I’m only salty with one thing… the immaturity being associated with listening to only hip hop, feel like that was an attack on my culture. That doesn’t even fit me, I’m a Bruce Springstein fan. But if the problem is expanding your horizons, why isn’t R&B music listed. You are only ignorant if you listen to R&B music, but an all club/house music supply is acceptable?
4)Maybe its not wise to call these men losers just yet. If these flawed man have good hearts and big wood maybe they are worth being with. This could just be a phase they grow out of. I am not saying change them. But since you are flawed also, maybe you can grow with them. There is positive in everything we think is negative and vice versa.

And Mr. Mama’s Boy. I’m close with my mama, but uh, the relationship between a man and his mama is “different” to say the least and I DON’T want to put up with a mama who thinks her son is her man. I already know women in my own family like that.

Great post. I have two more to add:
1. Mr. Fight Club. He’s always ready to throw down over the smallest infractions. Always talking about somebody disrespecting him. Ready to jump out of his car to confront the mofo that isn’t addressing him like a man. I once dated a guy that punched in a cab driver’s window for cutting him off. I was not trying to bear witness / co-defendent for his as* so I had to leave, but we still friends though.
2. Mr. I Got It Like That. He’s always bragging about where he been, who he’s seen, what he’s done, his cars, his money, his this, his that. Ugh, you know damn well you ain’t do ALL OF THAT, so fall back and stop trying so hard.

I had Mr. Thug on my list but the post was getting long. Biut here is he.
***Mr. Thug — Could be related to the Urban Youth, but not the same. This is the guy that is so thugged out, he makes Tupac seem like Mary Poppins. He has MAD swagger, and is cocky in more ways than one (3 actually). Women go with this guy because he gives them a sense of adventure, and the way he carries himself is a huge turn on. Plus, they like how he rough handles them.
However, you try not to get in an argument with him because his temper is shorter than Midget Mac, and you are truly afraid of what he could do to you if you pushed the wrong buttons. He has called you “Bitch” before but apologized by saying he was sorry you made him call you that. Clearly, he is not worth the trouble (i.e. DMX, Game)

A lot of my friends mostly encounter the Mama’s Boy the most. I am glad I am none of these types of guys. It is funny to hear the stories of people dealing with these types of guys though

I agree with the line if women over 25 still runnin into any of these guys but not “Mr I am my own man who lives alone instead of foolishly shackin up” that says what those women are about. I went to school it was no straight shoot, it took a min but now out all of sudden women get it. I told some women I knew who dated guys like the ones in the list they were all duds n scrubs but like men women are lured by sex, the fallacy that you can pik an asshole fa a man but look the other way cuz of his dick/looks/lifestyle or all of em. As a man if she’s sexy but an airhead that’s where she stays, as I say I don’t complain about bimbos, cuz I don’t deal wit em, so again this is only a reflection of the depth some women have when dealing with men. Men like me exist, from the hood, got the degree aint trippin cuz he got it, and I moved back to the hood cuz its cheap but there was a post on either sbm or here by a chick talkin about what a man should have by a set age. Then she got chewed out by the men (esp the NY,ers!)on just how dumb she sounds, if I get the crib, whip etc sans woman then why settle wit you? Cuz your stuff is special or you’re really smart? Plus its dumb to spend all that money single just to impress some chick on a date. And of course she thinks she’s the only woman to hint at settling down since I already have my “shit together”.
