    Well, I used to have a lot of guy friends, but I never really witnessed any b*tchass tactics firsthand. Of course I prolly wasn’t even paying any attention, cause we used to just get our drink on and play spades or bones. But I know fa sho bout some b*tchass female ways.

    Two things I cannot abide by are cattiness and being two-faced. My dude has 8 got damn sisters and ALL of em are catty as hell AND two-faced. Not just to me but to each other as well. Now individually, toward me, they’re aiight; but get them heffas in a group and it’s on. Eye-rollin, teeth suckin, snide remarks – the works.

    And I swear fo’ God if it wasn’t for the fact that they’re related to my dude, every last one of them hoes woulda BEEN GOT the fire knocked out of em a LONG time ago.

    But since that’s not entirely possible, I have to say yes. Yes the release DID feel pretty damn good, lol.

    So instead of “dammit Slim”, I’ll say Thank You, Slim, lol.

    Allow me to be the devils advocate in your first scenario. I’m someone whose always had a lot more male friends versus female friends. Way back in the day when I was dating some lame who cheated on me, one of my guy friends finally broke down and told me. Of course all the guys were upset with him for doing this because he was sorta friends w/ my ex. Obviously I appreciated him telling me so I didn’t go on dating the lame dude. I understand from the guys perspective this is kind of a bitch move.

    Let me ask you this though, flip the script, if you had a good female friend who was cool with a girl you were dating, wouldn’t you expect female friend to let you know if the girl were shady? Say she saw your girl in the club with all up on some guy, and go home with him. Would you want the female friend to just turn the other cheek because of some unwritten girl code? Or be more loyal to you, her closer friend?

    Just being devils advocate, don’t get too mad :o )

    I think Slim was talking more about of a guy who’s tryna get with you and is badmouthing another guy who is vying for your attention. That’s looked upon as big no no in the realm of Acceptable Man Behavior. Throwing salt on another man’s game will not get you drafted into the “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” The story you drew upon sounds more like a homeboy who was lookin’ out for you.

    Funny thing is I could understand why all the guys were upset with him. The more acceptable way to handle it, would’ve been for him/them to approach the lame you were dealing with. That’s IF those cats were really your homeboys. Only homegirls should come straight to you with info like that.

    “Girl, you know that nigga *insert lame’s name* is cheating on you?!” Does that sound right coming from a man’s mouth??? (pause)…

    For women though, this is also a sticky subject (telling a friend her man is cheating). That almost doesn’t sound right coming from a woman’s mouth either. We too have rules. If its your homegirl, and she’s all head over heels for a dude, chances are that she will brush off what you are saying, pretending like she doesn’t know the deal, and keep rocking with dude until she decides on her own its time to step.

    Vanessa aka Miss V Reply:

    …or the friend will think you’re hating because she thinks you are a) jealous because you’re single b) trying to holla at her dude on the low, or c) angry that your current boo is effing up.

    so yeah, i think that sort of information doesn’t come off well from either a man or a woman.

    Reply

    Steph Reply:

    Yeah, I completely agree with you and Vanessa. Women tend to get extreme cases of denial when friends tell them their man is cheating.

    In my circumstance, the guy friend told me for two reasons, one because he did like me as more than a friend (although understood I didn’t feel the same way), and cuz he thought it was wrong and thought I deserved to know.

    I recognize that it was kind of shady he told me, but at the same time as women, or men, I think we all hope we have good enough friends to let us know when we’re being made a fool of by our SO.

    I have been a dude in this situation before. To put it basically, always stick by the dude. Not saying the dude is the better freind, but social norms will pressure the girl into understanding why you alliance went that way.

    Same rules apply for the girl, she should tell her me freind if she thinks his woman is playing him. Girls are just expected to gossipy and share info. Men are suppose to know how to keep their mouths shut and don’t snitch. Its a stereotype, but if you want to keep your freinds you abide by it.

    Pillow Talk – > An offense usually committed by a lame who’s lacks the necessary essentials to seal the deal. Sad part is, a majority of the time they STILL don’t get to beat… Ladies keep your guard up around these kind of guys. They’re the type to scratch and pull your hair after an argument.

    Mean Muggin -> Bitchassness at it’s finest. Eye fighting does nothing but solidify the fact that guy has “vagina envy”. Would even go as far as rocking a maxi pad so he can “see how it feels”

    Excessive Swag -> Cats like this just need to knock it off. They don’t learn until they get slapped up and/or sonned in public; in front of the same general audience who’s attention and adulation they so dearly yearn for. What does it get them??? Teary eyes and a crowd that’s pointing and laughing at them. Can’t mean mug with blurry vision and a shattered manhood…

    Slim go ‘head and be upset. There are man laws of governing that get broken way too often. But we can’t go around chin checking every offender. I can’t front tho, palm hugging a dude’s face after his habitual law breaking (RightCoast knows) may be needed from time to time. In the end, they always end up in last place because losing is all that they’re used to. Sorta like the Charlotte Bobcats and Detroit Lions…

    You guys are good…do you have creative meetings or something? Well the topics of the past three days are just revealing that there is a sickening downward spiral of manhood nowadays. It didnt start when Diddy coined the term, it just helped put a name to the actions. Pillow talking is the worst offense ever and the sad part is that 42% percent of the crimes committed are friend on friend crimes. (60% of stats are made up on the spot) But cats that purposely spread venom on your good name are just straight up bitches. There are some rules to this game and if you gonna play you need to abide by them. Cant hang? “Then dont sell dope, Frank! Get a f*cking job!” Like the Great one said, these dudes always end up last. At the end of the day, shorty gonna see you for chump that you are and more than likely you’ll end up on dontdatehimgirl.com. (That’s a real website)

    Steph, I see where your coming from but like my man said it depends on the circumstance. If a dude is snitching on his LB just to get to you, then he must put to death at once. If he’s known you longer or has a better relationship with you then he did with your ex, the court may dismiss the case, but at the end of the day, there are rules to this sh*t!

  6. first off, wooooosaaaaah my good man…lol…

    but yeah, as a woman, men’s b*tch@ssness is horribly annoying… i think that the one thing that will always get me is when men are just as moody (or more) and just as attitudinal (or more) as women… i’m not the woman who says “i don’t roll with females cuz blah blah blah”. i roll tight with my girls till some attitude and mood swings start poppin off. then i dip. but if a dude is doing the same thing?!?!? hell nah… PASS!!!

    Slim Jackson Reply:

    Male moodiness can very. If dude is happy one moment and crying the next…he’s prolly got some serious issues/things going on. I have my bouts of anger or not wantin’ to be bothered, but it’s not like it happens the same time every month or changes according to who I’m hanging with.

    I can attest to that, Seattle. Successful black (straight) men in ATL definitely think that because they are a rarity, women should just be happy with the minimum. Moving here forced me to completely adjust my radar from the normal type of negroes that I mess with. Right off the bat, if I feel the smallest sense of entitlement coming from his direction, I’m out the door.

    -dudes wearing skinny jeans then hollering out in the middle of times square “I aint gay yo..I aint gay” (ok maybe that’s a lil off topic, but it had me sniggling & fuming)

  11. Example of bitchassness?

    When someone is always trying to one-up you. Not because they’re sooo ambitious, but because they want to overstep you. And you can tell. Buy a 3 bedroom house? They gotta have 5 bedroom crib right after hearing about yours. Buy a 52″ TV? They must have that theater projector. It’s no coincidence when you talk about accomplishing something, they turn around and try to do you one better. Heffer this ain’t Poker.

    In funnier (to myself) news…

    “Take off that tight t-shirt that got you feelin brave or stop rollin with your cronies…”

    When I read that, I sung “rollin with your cronies” to the tune of “rollin with the homies” from Clueless. Oh, Clueless, you always have a way of fitting into everyday life.

    Tight-tee’s on men are like little dresses on women: your (insert desired part of accentuation here) is not that big, it’s obvious that your garment is too small.

    Inconsistency is also pretty bitch ass to me. There have been guys I know who sometimes speak when they see me in public, and sometimes don’t, LAME. Or, my favorite, men who complain about a woman so much it’s deafening, but can’t seem to fall back from her. As one of my greatest man-friend’s in college once said, “If you don’t like it then get the f*ck out; if you love it too much to leave it then shut the f*ck up.” Bitch ass motherfu…

    it really irritates me when dudes complain about women gossiping all the time when dudes do it also. dudes may not call it gossiping, but if a guy finds himself telling his homie that this girl is a jumpoff or this chick’s pumpum is wack… thats gossip!

    really, the bitchassness is when dudes complain about their business being all in the street, and blaming it on women. like seriously, if you don’t want people to know, do a better job of choosing who you conspire with, and/or avoiding that behavior/person all together, plain and simple. and as evidenced by the pillow talk point, a lot of times, it’s the homeboy that’s ratting you out.

    Like layin in a bed with a pillow under his head gossiping about things that other men have done and why the chick should stay away from someone…especially men that the chick may be interested in. Some may call this “bein’ a good friend”.

    AHEM! I call it being a great friend! I have made alot more guy friends than female friends over the past year. Just because they help guide me in this “dating world.” Anytime I’m confused while dating a guy, I definitely turn to one of my guy friends for help. I also look to my girlfriends too, but I just think a guy’s opinion gives better insight to why a guy might do something or say something. Of course, I’m not a robot and I have a mind of my own, but I do need some guidance here and there. The last guy I dated seemed to good to be true, but I was falling for him anyway. My guy friends with a lot of experience told me, “That cat is most likely running game, so play it cool. Tell him to wait a year (for it).” I was planning to tell this guy to wait a year after we dated for a while, but it’s good that I told him sooner rather than later. How fast that punk ran just confirmed that he was just out to serve himself. I’ve also started to ask the guys who used to want to date me for dating advice. I think it’s a good tactic. I’m going to see how it works. Just don’t blame the guys who want to help a girl watch out for the bastards. It’s a community service!

    There is a distinction between throwing salt and offering friendly advice. Also gotta consider the intentions of the dude. If he’s tried to get at you in the past and still tries to occasionally get at you, it blurs the line of friend/pillow talk.

    Reply

    Yeah Whatev Reply:

    Yeah, I know the difference. That’s why I follow the advice of the guys who have always been only my friends. Then I do the opposite of what the guys who used want to date me tell me, because I already don’t trust them. Keep friends close and enemies (though they’re not really my enemies) closer, right? It’s a good tactic that I’m trying out for now.

  17. All the examples of b*tch@$$ne$$ you described can be summed up into one ridiculously annoying trait: low self esteem. I think that a real man ought to just have a certain level of confidence that just exudes from his pores. Not excessive (swagger), but just enough to let you know that he’s got it like that. Women love a man with confidence; I’ve seen some of the ugliest, brokest men with fly chicks on their arm simply because of the way they carry themselves.

    When a man is talking bad about other men, mean muggin, or trying to be extra, it’s usually indicative of a severe lack of confidence, and/or need to over-compensate. This might result from a bad previous experience with a female, a small penis (keepin it real), or just a lifetime of unfortunate unattractiveness. Either way, men (and women) often feel the need to put others down in order to increase their own self worth, and this inevitably leads to someone getting punched in the face.

    I really think this all has to do with the media, and the pressures of society to be something we’re not. It used to be only women that were being objectified in the media, but now with all these rappers and athletes putting their financial figures and penis size all out there for other men to see, a lot of men just don’t feel like they measure up (haha, measure up). If men stopped trying to compare themselves to others, much less Jay-Z and Diddy, most of this punkness would eventually go away. Men wouldn’t be competing for a Bromance. Wouldn’t be 30 men fighting over one ghetto, ugly woman (named after a northern city). And less of our fine black men (who DO have it) would be locked up (Slim) for punching b1tch*$ in the face.

    And world peace. =)
