When a man is a fool

July 2023

When a boy is born 2 this world, his value is zero.
Society & especially women will teach him if he wants approval, he best become some kinda hero.
Problem is that’s hard 4 a male 2 do. As the criteria is more about genetics than who U are.
Be good looking, be 6’+, have 6-pack abs, make 6 figure income & that considered the min by far.
But Ur female friends will lie 2 Ur face.
Tell U 2  just be who U are cos the 1 4 U will fall n2 place.
Most men believe this as gospel truth.  But look at their actions & not their words.
Who they hook up with, get in2 relationships with.. The Chads, Pookie’s & Ray Ray’s who will tell them anything they wanna hear no matter how absurd.
Their date card will be full & overflowing with opportunities 2 do any & everything.
While the normal avg guy, U will spend more time playing with their own thang.
This isn’t regulated 2 young guys either.  Old guys are not immune 2 the game.
The difference is the lack of game & experience bumps lost 2 a whole notha level not 2 mention the shame.
Pick the wrong 1 & U lose half of everything U ever worked 4.  And if Ur really lucky U get 2 pay her 4 the rest of Ur life.
Wait, quit a company, U may get unemployment 4 a few mos & they got millions.  Get a divorce now Ur life is a broken mess filled with strife.
I guess I’ve been lucky in a way.
Those I like didn’t want 2 ever know my name.  But let it be some1 I’m not interested in at all.  All of sudden I’m a liar & playin game!
I was never interested in beyond being a friend. U pushed 4 more & more hence why I hit THE END!
After 5 decades of dating, I’ve discovered when a man becomes a fool.
I still believe in love, which now is just a set up 2 be used.
The only unconditional love I’ve ever l known died on 5.29.21.
I wasn’t & still ain’t ready 4 the pain that has left me undone.
My picker in women is broken.  I cant trust my own judgement.  And friends look 4 women they scrape off their shoes 2 hook me up with.
Why I ask why her?  Cos they have seen & met the women I’ve dated. 
Their answers in a roundabout way, “something is betta than nothing!:
I would disagree!  Attraction has 2 b there in the beginning.  Or maybe that’s just anotha thing I’m doing wrong?
July 17, 2023 is a day written in stone.
The day I made peace with I would die alone.
Friendship in LA is a different animal.
Never as 4 anything, text only & leave them alone.  Now U friends 4 sho!
My version of friendship is old & outdated.  Maybe never existed.  Prolly much like me a scream held 2 long!
I lack the words 2 make any1 see what this life has been 2 me.
I’m not smart enough 2 learn the lesson God wants me 2.
So I go thru ground hogs day. I can see its been decades.  I don’t know what 2 do.
If I like anything 2 much its called home or has 2 end.  Prince , DMX, Mama Fran all the while I still stand.
Seems like the this fool will never b a man!

A walking contradiction... What you see isn’t what you get. To get to know the essence you need to open the book and read. An enigma; giving, selfless, conceited, arrogant, loner, author, friend, confidant, trainer, model, actor, and life coach. It really depends on your relationship with him. To someone who doesn’t know him or decides to judge the book by the cover; he is viewed as conceited, arrogant or even mean. Which is the exact opposite of who he is. He’s more of a shy introvert around those he doesn’t know or isn’t comfortable with. Get below the quiet exterior and you’ll find a heart that, to know is to love. He tries to live his life literally walking in love. He would give the shirt off his back to help. Raised by his mother, with no role model on what a man should be. He set out to be different than what he saw in the community. Men who abandoned their responsibilities to pursue whatever tickled their fancy was the norm. These men didn’t care about the damage caused by their selfish actions. He thought the road would be easy, but alas, it proved him wrong. Society had changed dramatically in a short time. People seemed to perceive his love as a weakness. Or perhaps they had not come across a person, who accepts them for them. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop, they tried to manipulate a gift to their advantage. Left alone most of the time, he started to set his pain to print. Never intending for anyone to read it. However, God had a different plan in mind. He would use DC’s pain to show the women; that there are men out there, who do feel profoundly deeper than they think. To reach out to the masses that don’t know how to get others to understand what they are dealing with or have dealt with. He simply wanted to help people on a larger scale.
