“I would rather be dogged out by a fine man than an ugly one, because at least that way people can always say ‘he dogged her, but the mofo sho’ was fine!”
Believe it or not, those words were written in a response to a recent article. The reader attempted to justify her ridiculous choices in men which she based on physical attractiveness. Sadly, too many women exhibit signs of being less than intelligent about who they let into their lives, beds and hearts.
If you can identify with the writer above, you probably have a case of Pretty Boy Disease yourself. You prefer to choose men that look good... so good that all the other women want him as much or more than you do, and he knows it.
You think you have a prize. You don’t consider the fact that there is nothing there to sustain a satisfying relationship. Never mind that you feel hungry for intimacy, are upset with him most of the time about what he DOESN’T do, and wonder why he spends so much time “hanging out” at clubs (never with you) or with his friends. Never mind that YOU are the one that has to make all the adjustments and compromises and withstand all the drama just to keep him around.
The key reason women catch Pretty Boy Disease is that they foolishly believe they must have a man that other people admire and find attractive or they are nothing themselves. These women sadly are happy to pay the price. When your choice of men for a “relationship” is based upon sex and/or bragging rights you will then pick a guy based on his financial resources or ownership of material goods; pick a guy based upon his status (athlete, musician, drug dealer); or pick a guy based upon his looks.
Using those superficial, materialistic criteria is where you make your fatal mistake and set yourself up for a game tournament!
My goal is to go over some of the common games run by Pretty Boys so you ladies can recognize when game is being thrown your way. Of course I can’t include each and every trick game, but I’ll cover the most frequently played.
Game-playing generally revolves around these three key points:
The game-player is playing on your body and sexual services;
The game-player is playing on your money — financial or other material resources;
The game-player is a collector and out for quantity — to get as many women as he can that will all (in varying combined amounts) meet his needs for sex, money, discounts on bus fare, free admission to nightclubs or the movies for him and his “boys,” cook home cooked meals, clean up his apartment, whatever.
