Quit Playing Games...The Sequel

Okay so there was a comment on my recent post, "Quit Playing Games," and it got me thinking. First off, in response to the young ladies comment, I want to say I appreciate her opinion, however I disagree 35,000%. If a girl gives me her number (which I did not ask for), and brushes me off when I call, SHE'S PLAYING GAMES!! More importantly, I'll be damned if I say, "oh well she has the right to play me because men play women all the time."

ATTENTION LADIES: I Don't Have Anything To Do With The Guy(s) That Played You.

That being said, no man or woman should have to suffer presently, because somebody did you wrong in the past. This eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth dating is the quickest way for everybody to stay single. Men and women, especially black men and women, need to stop communicating with a chip on our shoulder. If you think the worst of someone before you get to know them, then they never stood a chance to begin with. All this does is perpetuate the cycle of miscommunication, lying, lack of standards and misguided hostility among the sexes. Additionally, to think that you can do somebody wrong because someone did you wrong, shows that you lack the same morality that the former person was missing.

Ladies, having suffered or seen another woman suffer through trials related to a man, does not excuse you to perpetrate those same indiscretions nor does it exclude you from the ridicule and contempt that comes with mistreating someone who is undeserving. What's wrong is wrong, regardless of which sex is the facilitator. She gave me her number, I gave her a call, she gave me no response. By all means, tell where I messed up...
