Growing up I anticipated the women of my 20s, the years that old heads refer to as their “heyday.” Now, mid-way through it, I realize that things have changed since the 80s (and even the 90s)…and they’ve changed for the worse. The following is a collection of my grievances.
Nas ft Puff Daddy - Hate Me Now
What ever happened to the girl that……..
- Cooked (maruchan/ramen noodles doesn’t count)
- Listened to real R&B and not this mess I hear nowadays
- Was ok with chillin in the house all day Saturday
- Looked as good in sweatpants and Jordans as she did in a dress and heels (versatile swag)
- Knew her friends were salty jezebels
- Watched sports and knew a little (i.e. “Didn’t Larry Bird play for the Knicks?” is unacceptable) <– true story
- Understood that she can’t drive a Kia and only date guys with Benzes
- Was ok with the guy paying for every tab
- Realized that a man’s attention span during an argument in 15min max
- Cleaned her crib regularly (especially the bathroom and kitchen)
- Didn’t expect McCormick & Schmick’s if she eats Taco Bell every day
- Stood by her man through the grind, then reaped the benefits later

- Created the california king sized bed
- Responded with abuse if abused
- Didn’t get complacent with her figure after snagging a man
- Respected and commanded respect (command vs demand)
- Was enough to keep her man from wandering (i.e. Martin + Gina)
- Wanted to have a couple kids (see Huxtables)

LOLLLLLL!!!!!!! you’re a fool for this one. you must like bald girls. you must also like girls who beat guys and burn clothes. I’m proud to be a 21st century woman.
@Candice natural bald > horse long
lol wow.
KUDOS! Tickled me a bit, but so very true!!!
thanks ADizzy! i don’t think too many ppl agree with that “so very true” though.
Must be nice (Lyfe voice)! Never been a stickler of ‘making the list thing for a person,’ kinda beats the purpose, but everyone got a system of preference so i respect that. They are out there just gotta be a search engine that’s good at filtering through spam.
One thing i gotta bring up is with the natural hair point. So let me be natural with it and ask: How are yall all up for natural hair, but when it comes to such as lumps/humps yall turn the other cheek? Check it!
Love how Daily Tonic put it….filter through spam…if only there were SEO for a perfect match on certain criteria!
Alone time is key, and if not physically alone, being LEFT ALONE and not forced to blahblahblah the whole time I’m with someone is good
very good points both of you. wish i could incorporate these into the posting.
