We “EXCLUSIVE” but he ain’t my man

On Monday a friend of mind asked me “Why do men say we are exclusive instead of committing? What’s the difference? If he is only dealing with me and I’m only dealing with him why not just be together?” And here is the difference and the reasons why you’re not quite his girl.

1. She don’t have to know; she’s not my girl

It’s certain things he won’t do because he may have to tell his girl but the unofficial girlfriend line isn’t really clear as most of you would like it to be. Your exclusive meaning he won’t stick his dick in anybody else but that doesn’t mean he not taking the girl’s number who always flirts with him in the elevator or calling that cute chick from the bar last week the moment he gets off the phone with you. Matter of fact here’s a prime example and a true story...

Mike goes with Dave to see these chicks to play wingman. While they are at the young ladies’ residence, Mike drank 2 shots of Patron, out of Ms. Wingman’s cleavage, let her massage his joystick, for about 45 seconds and palmed that ass one good time on his way out the door. Did he smash? Nope, so the exclusive agreement remains unbreached but it’s definitely something his “Exclusive” girl would frown about ,good thing he doesn’t have to tell her.

2. I’m not obligated to do it

There are things he will do for his girl that he won’t do for Ms. Exclusive

The degree of moving help
Your man will cancel all plans go pick up the U-Haul get to the spot early in the morning and stay until the job is done. He even comes back the next day to help unpack all your shit and break the new place in, if he didn’t spend the night.
Your exclusive dude will show up mid day but he will tell you were those Mexican day workers can be found.

If you’re broke
Your man will toss you some bucks to make ends meet.
Your exclusive dude will take you out to make you feel better about being broke.

If you get a flat coming home late at night
Your man will come out to meet you and change your tire and then take you to get a replacement the next day so you won’t be riding on a donut.
Your exclusive dude will look up tow truck numbers for you and remind you to stand out of the road, but will sound real sympathetic while he’s doing it

3. Commitment is Commitment

Once he says “You’re my girl” it’s real he’s cutting off all those chicks that are just hanging around and ready to make a move when he makes their phone ring. He changes his Facebook status from ‘single’ to ‘in a relationship’ (and even his momma is on Facebook) so the whole wide web knows, even the girl he doesn’t really know but she is phat as fuck that sent him a friend request this morning. He allows your hot pink toothbrush to sit on the edge of his sink and your Oil of Olay bodywash to sit in his shower instead of tucking all that shit away the second your out the door.

Making the jump from exclusive to commitment is really a world away. Exclusive means you get dibs on the weekends and he is only fucking you. For most dudes that doesn’t even mean you’ll get a Valentine’s Day present; I mean after all you’re not his girl ,a single rose from the Latino 3rd street will do just fine.

Commitment is a big deal and exclusive not so much.

5 Little known facts about Jean DeGrate

1. Ladies if you want to have sex with me just put my dick in your mouth, gets me in the mood every time guaranteed

It’s been many times that I’ve fallen asleep on a female who was trying to get it popping and was hoping I could read her mind because I couldn’t read her frisky mood while she sat on the other side of the couch watching TV while avoiding physical contact with me. Then the next day I get a call like this...

Her - I was so horny last night and you just went to sleep on me
JD - Word?
Her - Why didn’t you try anything?
JD - I’ve been trying to steer clear of that whole thing rape lately (but what I really meant is how the fuck what I suppose to know you wanted to get it in you were watching “For the Love of Ray J” so attentively and koonism bores me so much)

2. Some days I just do not want to be bothered.

Some mornings I wake up and really rather be alone. Loafing around the house, cooking for myself, watching funny movies and ignoring the phone works just fine for me. Don’t be mad if you been calling me for 8 straight hours and been getting the end button after 2 rings.

3. I’m very afraid of the single gun shot

I’ve been shot at and in some cases I’ve even shot back, but good aim in the hood isn’t common. To hear a barrage of gun shots is very common and about 15 minutes later you’d hear police sirens, then about 60 minutes later you’ll get the hood news version of who was shooting at who because people are seldom hit. Let’s face it; if our gun toting thugs spent as much time at the range as they spend on buying Air Jordan’s and playing Madden ever nigga in the hood could be a certified swat team sniper. So when that one unaccompanied shot emerges from the silence and fades back into calm, much in that way of how it came; that’s some scary shit. It makes me think a Dirty Harry/Doc Holiday type of dude is lurking around the corner with the marksmanship of an assassin.

4. I wish I could sing

I mean really sing, but not so I can go to American Idol or try to get a recording contract, but when my favorite song comes on the radio and I open my mouth to hit a note or two people won’t look at me like Mumble from “Happy Feet”. My very good friend Fatz AKA Russell once compared my singing voice to static.

5. I used to live in Macon, Georgia

That’s right from the ages of 10 thru 11, I was a watermelon eating, dirt bike riding, baseball playing country fuck. Things I learned in GA how to drive, fight, smoke and piss while walking.

There you have it you should all feel a little closer to DeGrate

7 Subtle Hints You Might Be Ugly

7 Subtle hints you might be ugly

It’s a few people out here that may have been miss-led by loving parents and overly supportive friends that have blinded you to the fact of how gruesome you really are. So today I’m going to give you some of these hints your mirror and your peers have failed to give you.

If you’ve ever been describe to the opposite sex with a statement starting with “She’s a really nice girl/He’s a really good dude” before they say anything about your looks you might be ugly (When trying to sell a ugly person to an unsuspecting fool you always start with the strong personality traits)

If you’re the designated purse and coat watcher in the club when your girl(s) hit the dance floor or the bar you might be ugly (They know good damn well nobody wants to dance with you and nobody will be buying you a drink at the bar)

If you ever ask one of your friends of the opposite sex why nothing ever kicked off between you two and they reply “I’ve always looked at you like a brother/sister” you might be ugly (especially if ya’ll ain’t that close)

If your friends never choose you as the wing man you might be ugly (taking you to play wingman is equal to throwing a drink in your own face her friend don’t want your ugly ass)

If grown-ups never look you directly in the eye but little kids always stare (and sometimes point) you might be ugly

If your female friends have never tried to hook you up you might be ugly (because we all know how much women love to hook somebody up)

If you never have a date to major events like weddings, dinner parties, and New Years Eve events you might be ugly (Who wants to bring in a new year with your ugly ass?)

If you fit in 1 or more these 7 take a long look in the mirror and re-assess yourself

Why You Attract Ain’t Shit Niggas

Off top 50% of the “Ain’t Shit Niggas” you meet/deal with are only ain’t shit niggas to you and your kind. You ever run across one of them dudes that you had dealings with to find out he’s now settled down being a stand up guy and think “damn he has grown up”. Nah he didn’t grow he just met a woman that A. wasn’t go for that dumb shit and B. she was worthy in his eyes of him acting like a decent human being.

You’re Green

If you meet a dude on Sunday and he has a toothbrush, a towel, a drawer of his own and a spare key to your place by Friday; yeah you’re GREEN. If you hand damn near any dude the world before you know his last name he will fuck you over plan and simple.

You’re Miss I don’t do this or never done that and go back on it effortlessly

Girls sell this shit all the time that “It’s something about you and I don’t know what it is that got me swallowing your kids in the back seat of this 98 Grand Am in the parking lot of Dave & Buster’s I’ve never done anything like this before” And when you say this its one thing running across our mind, well one thing besides the obvious, “Yeah right tell me anything”. From that moment on we write you off as a hoe and treat you accordingly. Yep ain’t no coming back from that.

You got 2 or more kids

The only dudes that really can dig a chick with two or more kids have two or more kids of his own. Correction the only dudes that really can dig a chick with two or more kids has two or more kids and takes care of them. It’s hard enough for a dude to commit to chick with no kids but to commit to her and her two children is a real tall order.

You live in the club

You might be a stand up girl (or you might not be the perception is still the same) but you just always end up at the club with your girls. Dudes don’t see it that way they see the party girl and the party girl is a hoe in every man’s mind. Walking in the house at 4am every weekend hair sweated out smelling like Patron and IHOP is not a good look.

You’re going for that dumb shit

Guys will always try his hand to see what he can get away with. Can he get you to come over without ever going on a real date? Can he get you to meet up with him after the club? Can he get you to wait for the plumber while he goes paintballing with the homies? Can he get you to come pick him up from the strip club at 1am on a Wednesday because he drank too much for third time this month? The more dumb shit you’re going for the worst he will treat you.

You’re an ugly bitch (not saying that you’re actually a bitch but ugly bitch just gets the point across so much better than saying unattractive female you may be a very nice and educated unattractive woman)

Ain’t shit niggas prey on ugly bitches like bad ass white kids with magnifying glasses prey on ant hills. It’s like a law of nature they see you then assume you can’t do any better so that makes you a prime candidate to get fucked over. “She ugly so she ain’t gonna leave me”.

Some of this might be dead on and some of it may not then you got that Katt Williams syndrome ‘your pussy just attract ain’t shit niggas’; sorry no cure for that.

4 Things He Cares About if He Cares About You

It’s certain things that might not seem obvious to you females but it’s what really matter to a dude that’s legitimately interested in you.

Your sexually history

In this instance we have to think of women like cars and everybody would love to have a brand new car. It’s just a special feeling knowing you are the first person to be behind that wheel but 97.5% of the time it won’t work out that way. So you want a car with one owner and or low miles. So when a dude is starting to get into a female he will want to know how many dudes she’s been with. No guy wants to make a hoe into a housewife. “She got that rental car pussy everybody done drove that.”

How you dress

It’s a known fact a dude will walk out the club holding hands with a chick wearing a rainbow colored cat suit, a Santa Claus hat and leopard print limited edition Uggs just because she had a body that wouldn’t stop and was down to roll. Now they don’t have a future much longer than the time it will take for the liquor to wear off. Men accept certain women in his life to be horribly and/or whorishly dressed we often refer to those women as jump-offs and sideline chicks. If he really cares about you he’ll consider you a representation of him and will want you to look accordingly.

How your mother looks

Seeing your girl’s mother is like a peek into the future. It answers all those questions like... “Will her titties hit belt buckle after that first kid?” or “Does that little pooch she got now turn in to a full grown beer belly later?” If he has no interest in knowing what the lady that made you looks like he has no interest in you long term.

The way you keep your home

If a man really likes you he cares if you’re a lazy ass dirty bitch. It’s just something about a filthy woman that drives any grown man insane that goes all the way back to the days when women stayed at home cooking and cleaning. It’s nothing worst than having to shake your clothes for roaches after a visit to Ms Right Now.

If none of these seem to be on his priority list then your future together is bleak

Man Law Violation: The Steve McNair incident

Real talk chances are if you happen to be black and in the NFL or NBA you’re going to get it popping on the road. If you’re a superstar it’s more of a guarantee unless he’s married to Jackie Christie (she ain’t going for none of that dumb shit).

Ok my man Air McNair did everything wrong all so wrong...

He sold Sahei Kazemi the “I’m getting a divorced” bit. You know who has to sell the “I’m getting a divorced” bit or the “Sliding off the wedding band” bit? You guessed broke average looking dudes. If you got a regular 9 to 5, drive a car that cost less than 30K brand new and you’re looking for more than the drunken one nightstand; you will have to resort to those tactics. He was a millionaire/former pro-bowler he should be able to pull a model chick while holding his wife’s purse standing outside of the ladies bathroom let alone a waitress at Dave and Buster’s.

Parasailing
He took this chick parasailing. I don’t know how many people have ever been parasailing or even know what it is; so here’s a definition... They strap a specially designed parachute to the back of a speed boat. When boat accelerates the para sailors takes flight. People parasail as couples in all these tropical paradises; places like Aruba, the Virgin Islands and Hawaii. Parasailing might be the most romantic shit you could possibly do on a get away. Just imagine you’re suspended 30 40 feet in air whisking thru tropical air looking into clear blue ocean water with exotic fish and dolphins swimming beneath you and all the while the object of your affection is right there next to you. If you take a sideline chick parasailing she is going to think she is the one no way around it. Shit if I’m floating thru the air with dolphins at my feet I might think I’m in love.

Jet setting
It’s only one type of dude that’s allowed to take his sideline chick on a plane and that’s the one with the female assistant/secretary that he happens to be cracking. Those aren’t even vacations it’s business. I mean who’s going to take that DICtation when he’s out of town at those important conferences? These other guys that aren’t fucking the help can’t even take a sideliner to the Air and Space museum. If you got her out in Vegas shooting craps on your dime and sun bathing on sandy beaches she can’t help but to feel special.

Meeting the parents
You don’t meet the parents; you can’t be kicking it with the family. “Hey Mr. Kazemi yeah I’m the married Ex-NFL star fucking your daughter but let me distracted you with this Escalade I just co-signed for that she can’t pay for on her Dave and Buster’s waitress salary. She said I was leaving my wife yeah that’s the plan I’m dying to folk over half my shit, tear my family apart and fight for custody of my kids.” Not meeting the parents should be a no brainer. “Oh the family is coming to town this weekend damn sorry I’m going to miss them I got a big fishing trip planned with the boys”

Don’t bring the sideliner to the crib
McNair would be breathing right now if this woman didn’t know where he rested his head. Instead he found his sideliner sitting on his door step at 2 in the morning and thought it was a good idea to invite her in. Another no brainer let me find my girlfriend sitting on my door step at 2am she’s not getting in my house (nor a jumper or an ex or even a good female homie). I’m not even going to get out of the car I’ll roll the window down some and ask her questions from there while the car is still in gear. When I’m done talking I’m pulling off and I’ll go home when the sun comes up and people are around. Having a female waiting for you to come home and not letting her in isn’t even man law it’s just common sense. Ask any chick what she would do if she came home from the club to find her dude sitting on her door step. I’m no psychic but I’m guessing it would involve a call to the police.

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a women scorned” - William Congreve

Most man law violations go unpunished and normally the harshest penalty is losing a girl, losing a friend, and/or losing the windows on your car. Steve lost his life, his wife lost her husband and his kids lost their dad. He played house with a teenager that never had shit and treated her like a queen; the idea of it all slipping away was way too much for her young mind to handle. I expect teens to make rash impulsive decisions (in this case deadly) but from a grown man hip to the game I expected better.

Who would have ever thought you’d take an L on the sideline?

Man Law - Jump Off Protocol Sub Division: The Sideline Chick

The problem is; you dudes treat the one that you lovin with the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin” - Jay-Z

By definition the sideline chick is the chick that gets minimal playing time. She is the one you call when your girl is out of town or you got some away from home free time you might give her a little bit of time. You don’t have to sell her no dreams; trust if she will knowingly give you the ass while you’re bunned up/married or whatever the situation maybe she will cool with riding that pine waiting for slight playing time.

She’s the text message girl
It is no real reason to hold a phone conversation with a sideline chick once she is in her sideline position everything you have to say to her should be able to be covered in 5 texts or less i.e.

You - (1) Where you at? I’m trying to see you
Her - In the house
You - (2) Busy?
Her - No
You - (3) I’m on my way
Her - Bring some goose
You - (4) Bet

She’s the carry out dinner girl
If you think it’s cool to be all out and about with her you’re dead wrong. You can’t be all up in Ruby Tuesday’s/Outback/Legal Seafood/McDonald’s with this woman. Every food mission has to be drive thru carry out style, ya’ll can only sit down and eat in 3 places...
The car (behind dark tint)
Her house
And the hotel room

She’s the short term chick
It’s a very very very very small amount of women willing to play second string for a long period of time; either they’ll start making hints towards promotion, flip out and turn psycho or say cut her loses and roll. Now you as the man, with something at home that you aren’t willing to leave, needs to be the one to decide when to end it before she has a change of heart. In my personal opinion a sideline chick should last no longer than a season i.e. your sideliner from May shouldn’t know you in August.

She’s not your girl so don’t treat her like your girl
This may very well be the must important rule. If you treat a sideliner like the main attraction she will begin to act accordingly. You taking her out, going on trips, and buying her gifts you’re asking for trouble. You’re creating attachment and moving the relationship in realm you can no longer fully control.

No pictures
It’s 3 things you don’t take pictures with guns drugs and sideline chicks. They are all illegal and will come back to haunt you. How you going to explain to your wife the girl sitting in your lap smiling in this Polaroid that just showed up in your mailbox is just a friend?

JD isn’t a fan of cheating but I’m less of a fan of stupidity. If you can’t be true to the one you love at least be true the game.

Don’t treat your hoe like your housewife
