Recently I've been discussing my "getting out of the game" with some close friends and family members. Now when I say getting out of the game, I don't mean that I am done recording music, but rather me getting into a serious relationship for the long haul. The great thing is that most of those people have wished me well. But, the worst part is that no one believes me to be serious about this. Forgive me for speaking frankly but, I find it extremely rude to knock someone who is doing something positive, and doing it for the right reasons....well some of my reasons are "right reasons."
I spent about two weeks of trying to bring the old feeling back of being a bachelor. In that time i found that the "old game" doesn't exist, and women are extremely different in 2010 in comparison to how they were 3-5 years ago. WHAT HAPPENED???...is the question that I asked a couple of my close knit friends. The answers that I received in response to that question were absolutely ridiculous, astonishing, demoralizing, awakening, but all true.
The game has completely shifted from "good girls want a bad guy" to "all girls want a fly guy." Forgive me for my harsh generalization of what woman want but, after recent experiences going back as far as 1 year ago, I have come to the realization that the woman who still want a "bad boy" are either non existent or on their way to converting into the type of girl who wants a "fly guy"......
oh! sorry. Definition of "Fly Guy": the lame male who does exactly what he sees on MTV or in magazines. He may wear pants that are tighter than the girl he is possibly going to sleep with. He also has no type of personality (which kinda makes him smart because he doesn't mess up when girls offer him a night of completely promiscuous relations). If he is White American he will certainly have one of these 3 things: a musical instrument / a skateboard / random piercing and/or tattoo. If he is African American he will certainly have one of these 3 things: a beat making program / an excessive amount of Nike sneakers / a graphic tee with the picture of a social figure that he has no understanding of.
So with the scenery of women changing so much around me, I've decided that it is time for me to bow out the game gracefully. I had a great run and I wouldn't change anything about it. But i know when it is time to fold and collect my chips and leave the table. I salute you fly guys out there. I know you wont do me proud, but with the way that women are nowadays...you wont have to. I mean really, they just give the legs up for all of the wrong reasons.
Salute!
I hope you do find what you're looking for Mr. Vega - and not all girls are looking for the "fly guy" there are still girls out there looking for the unique person that's going to blow their minds. You just gotta keep your eye out!
ReplyDeleteOk so i have a couple of things to say. First as a friend i do support your movement but as a friend i feel like the decision was made to quick. true that "MOST" girls not "all" girls are looking for the FLY GUY. 2nd as far as the game goes there is a new generation and to not try to adjust would be to quit and were not quitters. i feel like to get out of the game because it changed is to lay down and except defeat. 3rd it is the girls "MOST" of them that are responsible for the change because the girls that fall in the most category enable the FLY GUY. this is just a little things that i feel about getting out of the game. if these reasons are not a major contributor to why then i am behind you 100 percent of the way and even if they are i still support and feel bad that i wasn't supportive 100 percent from the start.
ReplyDeletei appreciate that from the both of you. It's not about me quitting because the game has changed. It's more that I am going out before I overstay my welcome. Barry Sanders hung up his spurs even though he was a CERTAINTY to set the all time record in rushing yards. He retired from the game because as great as he was, his team wasnt getting the victories to support his legacy. So for me, it's like I know how great I am and, I refuse to burn precious time in this new game where my victories don't match my personal quality. But again, thank you E!
