Guy#11: Mr. “Straight-up punk”

Who wants to be with a punk?

Now I’m not saying that I want to be with a gangsta either (see #27) but if there’s one thing that I can’t stand is a soft-ass guy. A man is a MAN, strong, thorough, in-control (but not dominating), respected; able to take care of his woman, his kids and himself. Can’t nobody push around a real man. This kind of guy might be very intelligent but then again he might be dumb as hell. But I don’t care how many other positive or negative qualities he might have, being soft trumps them all! No chick should be tougher than her man! And I’m not just talking about physically tough. Most chicks I know can’t stand no weak-minded man!

If your man is a punk, believe me, everybody knows it. Being a punk is a label that sticks with a guy for all of his life and the only way he can change that perception is by going around talking shit and knocking other dudes out! But he ain’t cut out for that. Once a guy is labeled a punk, once he has that reputation, others will prey on him, whether it’s on the job or in the streets. If you’re out in public with this kind of guy other guys will blatantly flirt with you right in front of him! Other chicks will clown you, laughing as they walk past or right to your face! People can sense weakness in others.

That brings me to another point: Some so-called tough guys are really punks; they just haven’t been exposed yet!

So, if you’re involved with Mr. “Straight up punk” and you think one day you might actually marry this guy....

Girl, don’t do it!!
