That explains why even when you met him 3 yrs after he got out he has no professional body of work-nothing-not even a logo for local rapper and we in NYC!! Still his bull$hit got him a car-job-apt and off course free time to bone and make her groan and these men play into young women folly that life should be a series of PEAKS with no VALLEYS. As I said unfortunately too many young black professional women are getting caught up with this guy.</p><p>Yes he’s a lame but I am more suspect about the women he was able to pull in, it seems the thug/hustla has been replaced by good man /w degree and no kids=Great Boyfriend. Thats only true if he’s really putting his heart-time and money into his passion and then judge his reactions when something goes wrong (because when chasing dreams something WILL go wrong). His response to that shows you if he is a fighter-but if he act like it was “nothing” man you got a Loser in your bed! Now it doesnt mean for sure he’d be a great BF but it reveals Character in the face of Adversity.</p><p>I cant stand it when I try to get women to tell me what was so great about their Ex-that at the time they got pregnant and all they say is -&#8221;his job-he treated them nice-he said he wanted have kids”-ya know as a man IDK what other guys hear when this is said but all I hear is “Sex and Status”.  To me it is not a surprise THIS kind of guy is a louse even with degree. Its about passion people the degree is a tool to help you get there, nothing more.</p><p>Also the one that stays learning and reading YEARS after college is who you ladies (and men too) should be checking for.</p><p>KAIZEN!!!</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: El</title><link>http://verysmartbrothas.com/link-of-the-week-the-choice-is-yours/#comment-102505</link> <dc:creator>El</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:23:46 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.verysmartbrothas.com/?p=1766#comment-102505</guid> <description>@Stuff Ghetto People Like, agreed.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@Stuff Ghetto People Like, agreed.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: El</title><link>http://verysmartbrothas.com/link-of-the-week-the-choice-is-yours/#comment-102504</link> <dc:creator>El</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:22:42 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.verysmartbrothas.com/?p=1766#comment-102504</guid> <description>@The Champ,  haTER!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@The Champ,  haTER!</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: El</title><link>http://verysmartbrothas.com/link-of-the-week-the-choice-is-yours/#comment-102499</link> <dc:creator>El</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:19:27 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.verysmartbrothas.com/?p=1766#comment-102499</guid> <description>@Panama Jackson, you are a mess.

Troy Stewart, she doesn&#039;t have to do much. For example, your are at a spades party with your (lame) man, somebody might try to holla at you giving that man no respect. Now, had you been with a gansta/ruffneck/thug nobody would try to holla at you or disrespect your man, because he automatically got respect and they would be shook.
