You ever watch a movie and say.. "YEAH RIGHT! Not For real!" Especially at the ending?
Well thats what I'm saying. Somethings are ok and we nkow it's for entertainment but I'm just saying, some of it we have to face reality. Take "The Best Man" for example. Sorry guys but tell the truth... that many guys are not going to find time to read a hole novel in one week. Theres barely enough time for y'all to get as drunk as you want to with a wedding around the corner, work, women, more women, sports.. and Lord knows that marriage would not have went on! Oh and lets not for get the last proposal in the movie. *pah-leeease!* You know what else I refuse to believe...? "Waiting To Exhale" You mean to tell me that Black man came home and told his wife he was leaving her.. and she was getting dressed, to go out.. on New Years Eve!!!!!? and leaving her for his side chick.. a white girl!!!? first of all don't get it twisted, he wouldn't have walked out that room without a fight. And I am in agreeance with biracial relationships but I call "Bullshxt" on that one! and most importantly men don't leave the WIFE for the SIDE CHICK! Lets be serious, don't give these "#2s" that much hope! *moment of silence* "Deliver Us From Eva" Lets start with the most obvious... "and he rides the streets on a white horse, the one she had hoped for all her life and asks for her forgiveness"..................If you have seen this in real life, please leave a comment and a picture because I will NOT believe you! Out of these four black sisters, 2 married, one in a serious relationship and the other is the oldest and NONE of them have kids?! And lets not mention "Love Jones". Sorry but statistics don't agree. I mean enjoy your movies but don't get too caught up thinking you're not going to get married until you find your Morris Chestnut, L.L Cool J and your Taye Diggs life is not that simple and the end of the movie isn't really the end of the story.
I do agree that movies do sell us dreams of happily ever afters but Brown Sugar is more realistic! He loves you but wont admit it, she didn't either. So instead of going through the BS, dating other people and just being unhappy men and women just need to just be honest about their feelings. SN: I was recently told that I needed to bring my dating standard down, I said "hell naw." To settle for less than I want is unrealistic to me, I'm not waiting for a fairytale ending but dang I don't want end up like all of the women my age>> broke, unhappy, 2kids and 1 on the way, waiting on my ebt on the 15th. No thanks!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to end up like that and you should to. Theres a difference. Standards are developed once you have established a self worth, If I have standards I'm worth the work! ;] Thanks Latasha-Marie, for your reading and support
