Today I was witness to a crime. Not just any crime mind you, but a crime I'm sure we've all seen all too many times in our lives. You know that crime we see and we tend to look away......and laugh. We don't laugh at the crime, we laugh because the crime is so pathetic and should have never happened in a million years.
Today I watched an old school soul brother of the highest order attempt to "holla" at a young woman that was clearly young enough to be his granddaughter. Now an older man attempting to "holla" at a younger woman or a older woman attempting to do the same thing with a younger man isn't necessarily a crime. But what I witnessed today was as wrong as two left shoes. Grandpa soul brother straight gangsta mack with his 4 or 5 gold teeth and his 3 or 4 brown ones and his derby and matching cane was clearly out of his league with this young woman. As a matter of fact, he was wrong for even attempting to speak to her. She looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole when this old school G started groping himself and shooting a rather stale game at said young woman.
Why do we do this?!?
Why?!?
Who says that this type of shit is acceptable?!?
Ever since I first bore witness to that "too old" dude in the club with the jheri curl or the dreads with the "pie with no filling" look going on in the middle of his head and I know you've seen him too. You know that guy who always has his shiny shirts open to his bulging belly with accompanying gray curlies on his chest with his many gold chains and medallions.....yeah, that guy. Every since I first saw him.....I didn't want to be him. Ever since then I've promised myself to never be this person.
No matter where my life goes in the future, I absolutely refuse to be this mofo!!!
Not me!!!
Reggie - this post is so funny!! - At some stage in their lives these men clearly felt they had it 'going on' - and they think they still do - what always amazes me is the sheer confidence of these men!! I sometimes wonder if somewhere out there there's a woman or two feeding this ego.. whta on earth do they think they could offer these young woman they cast thier eyes on?? - it's so funny
ReplyDeleteThank you for aspiring to be somethin' more than Supa Fly & Huggy Bear!! We sistas appreciate ya!! Lol...
ReplyDeleteLMAO... I KNOW THAT GUY... hes julius' buddy!
ReplyDeletehe aint so bad reggie.. he just got stuck... yanno? his clothes reflect a time when he WAS the mac daddy! lol he remembers and longs for those days to return, im sure lol!
now if i ever caught him trynna holla at a yound pretty girl... id have a different opinion of him completely... lol hed be an old fool in my mind.
ROFL! Yep, just the type that used to follow me around. I guess they don't want a 40-year-old...good!
ReplyDeleteDawna I'm 46 and the older I get, the more cognizant I try to be about my limitations. We've all got them, but some people just refuse to acknowledge theirs.
ReplyDeleteCerebrally_Orgasmic I just can't be that motherfucker.
ReplyDeleteMichelle there is no fool like an old fool. Whenever a pretty young woman flirts with me, I'm just assuming she's trying to be nice....not offer me some booty.
ReplyDeleteA man's gotta know his limitations.
Curvy_Gurl as soon as that old mack daddy saw your pretty face he would have broken out in a big shit eating grin. He would have been ecstatic to see you coming his way. I'll bet he'd have shown you all his gold and brown teeth.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute!! Super Fly was fly, Reggie!
ReplyDeleteNow the rest of those old fools live inside their heads where everthang is mellow, and for them, a young thang turning them down is a loss for her, because they KNOW they a straight up player.....from the Himalayas!!
That's pretty frightening. I don't know if I should give the guy some credit for at least giving it a shot or if I should just cringe. Maybe both.
ReplyDeleteI get asked out by younger women all the time at clubs.
ReplyDelete"How does your mother look? Is she still married?", I reply to little girls who only want free drinks.
I'll introduce them to some one closer to their age, buy the table a round and then keep it moving.
hahaha I know the type, too stuck in old skool cool for his own good. yup ain't never gonna be that dude, i refuse to. but on the real, what do you do when a really pretty honey half your age rolls up to you in a club/bar and you're tipsy from the whiskey? give her that dance?
ReplyDeleteAnna Renee I wanted to find pictures of older dudes, but most of the ones I found were lame. That's why I just went with these cool soul brothers.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best things about these old school Gs is that they say the funniest shit.
Eva the sight of it was wrong on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous I'm 46 and married and young women hit on me too. I just assume they've got some bills they'd like for me to pay for them. What they don't know is that I'm tighter than pantyhose two and three sizes too small.
ReplyDeleteChrome to be honest I stopped going to bars and clubs years ago, so I don't know what I'd do.
ReplyDeleteFunny but very tragic at the same time. Thanks so much for visiting my page; maybe at some point you will follow me :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's just nasty, that's what it is. What separates them from child molesters?
ReplyDeleteOkay as a "victim" of this mess! Thank you for shining a light on this travesty! LOL! When old dudes holla I just look and try not to be rude, but it makes me so uncomfortable... I always ask myself now what made him think??????? Old Dude BYE!
ReplyDeleteYes No Labels it's quite tragic.
ReplyDeleteTotsymae it might be nasty, but I don't see them as child molesters. It's not like the women aren't of legal age, because they always seem to be. Young women hit on me, but if they're my daughters age or younger, I tend to give them the side eye. Some men don't seem to care. Older men have married and dated younger women forever, it is what it is. It's just nasty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Puddin I'm gonna be old one of these days, but I don't want to be this person.....but I'm gonna hit on someone. Hopefully that someone will be a jazzy older sister and not someone's granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteYou're never old, unless your mind says so.
ReplyDeleteYeah maybe so Black Diaspora, but if you're wearing platform shoes, one of those processes that Al Sharpton used to sport and a leisure suit.....you need to leave the women young enough to be your granddaughter alone. To me it's like one of those rides at the fair. But instead of "you have to be this tall to ride this ride, I say you've gotta be older than MY daughter to ride Reggie. I couldn't even think (okay that might be a stretch) of having a relationship with a woman as young as my daughter. There's just something really wrong with that.
ReplyDelete"There's just something really wrong with that."
ReplyDeleteWe have a case of arrested development. Time marched on, but our anachronistic player chose to mark time. Had he truly matured with the passing of time, he'd have no problem seeing the inappropriateness of his behavior.
Now, I'm not sure how Hugh Hefner would feel about your position, though.
Hey one things for sure Black Diaspora, my opinion just might change the day I turn 65.......but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteHell I didn't even get the significance of Rick James's song 17 til I was 30.
Lol, what's even worse, a homeless player with no teeth trying to holler at a young woman. Witnessed it myself. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but i succumbed to "whatever makes you smile."
ReplyDeleteMiz
Toothless old homeless men need love too Miz.
ReplyDeleteI bet she holla'd back at him lol! It's a recession...
ReplyDelete~Chap

True that!!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same age but I run clubs so I meet a lot of 'hookers' trying to trade panties for VIP passes and free rounds. I'm not looking for a daughter but i might settle for a sugar moma. -UBJ
ReplyDeleteHey John, it is what it is.
ReplyDeleteIn "Zorba The Greek", Zorba said that the one sin God does not forgive is to let down a woman who desires you. Since these men seem to genuinely think that all women desire them, I assume they are just trying to avoid eternal damnation. :P
ReplyDeleteYeah maybe, but Da'Nile ain't just a river in Egypt Catintherain.
ReplyDeleteLOOOOL sugar daddies be doing it and doing it wel LMAO..........
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is another day, perhaps tomorrow I'll be one of these old school Gs.
ReplyDeleteWow that's old school style isn't it? The lyrics from the songs of these people were and are so fun. Thanks for taking your time to share it.
ReplyDeleteIts what I do.
