Money & Power

"Humphies lacked the most important thing it takes to keep a woman like this!"

When you were a youngster all you were  concerned about was being able to walk into a room with the baddest chick in school. You didn't care what was on her mind or what type of personality she had. All you wanted was the finest thing you could find. The cosmetic 10, a dime piece, if you will, was all that you wanted. That was the goal because at that time you weren't looking for a wife. You were simply looking for props from the fella's and to be the envy of all of the other women. Remember, nobody wanted you unless you had somebody and that rule still applies.

Well, I guess that's what the NBA's Chris Humphies got for the 72 days he was married to Kim Kardashian because now she's filed for divorce. In a statement she said, "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision," said the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star. "I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned."

Listen up all of my young brothers class is in session. You never marry a woman based on how fine she is. That's a teenage and early twenties move bruh. You're only supposed to date those women, not marry them. The girl that every body thinks is the best thing since the invention of the IPod is thinking the same thing too bruh!

For that reason she's never going to be content. The cosmetic 10 that will always have guys standing in line to date them will always be looking for a better deal. You can't satisfy her unless you've got all of the money and power. Why do you think dimes like Halle Berry or Gabrielle Union aren't married? Now they'll tell you that they don't want to get married but that's a front. Don't get it twisted, brothers are in line willing to put a ring on their fingers! The problem is, they're always looking for a better deal.

In 2006 Beyonce' released a song entitled "To the left." The hook went something like this, "To the left To the left, Everything you own in the box to the left, In the closet, that’s my stuff, Yes, if I bought it, then please don't touch." She goes on to say, "You must not know 'bout me I could have another you in a minute. Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute." Women like that will make those types of statements because there's always a guy on deck.

I hear you saying under your breath, "Jayz's got Beyonce' and he's been with her for a while now. Why hasn't she taken off?" Great question but keep in mind that JayZ has more money and power than anybody that she would remotely be attracted to. So there is no better deal. That locks the joint down for JayZ. She proves my point in being that type of woman because she never would have been inspired to write the song if she didn't think that way. Now Beyonce' has her own money so she's not in it for the bread. She's in it because she's secure in who JayZ is because he's more powerful than anybody she'll meet that she'd want.

See all women are attracted to money and power. I don't care how much money they have made for themselves. Even before guys started making money that concept applied. When you were in school who got all of the women? The most popular guys in school! The athletes, the Greeks, the well dressed etc! Typically, they were all the same dude. Why, because they had all of the power! They didn't need money at the time because everybody would let them into the parties for free and when they went out to dinner they always ate for free as well.

So fast forward to Kim and Chris. Chris Humphries tried to get into the game with a woman that plays it well. She's always looking for the better deal and he wasn't it. Let's keep it real! We'd never even heard of Chris Humphries until he got with Kim Kardashian. So you know he was in way over his head bruh! Kim was recently spotted eating lunch with ex-boyfriend, Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush, over the weekend. Why? Because she's playing the game and he's got more money and power than Humphries.

The key here fella's is to find a woman with some substance. Now she's still going to be attracted to money and power but if she has substance she won't bail because some cat has more than you do. The game is what it is but you've got to build your team with the right free agent. Step out of the Pop Warner League and stop chasing looks only and step into the Grown Man League by getting the whole package like I did bruh. My wife's got brains, beauty and substance! Holla At Ya Boy!

 Even with all of that I've still got to have some bread and power. I didn't make up the rules, I've just learned how to play inbounds. Any woman worth her weight in self-esteem shouldn't be satisfied with a man that can't produce.

The word of God says in Genesis 2:15, The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. That means he gave him a job(money) and put him in charge(power). He didn't give him a wife until verse 22, so the rules were put in place at the beginning of time!

Remember back in the day when boyz would say, "Don't get yo woman took." That still applies today! Chris Humphries just fell victim of the oldest game in the book! Trying to get with a shallow woman without being the most powerful and paid guy in the room!

Holla At Ya Boy!
