Women like the drama until it's time to get real with life. What's sad is when the fool they messed around with got them knocked up. If I know a woman has dated some shady characters I won't seriously date her. That kind of tells me where her mind is.
As for me I can date all the trollips and tramps on the planet. There's a double standard for men.
I was noticing over the years that I have seen gangster men, some who have even been incarcerated dating attractive women and in some cases even impregnating these women. What is it that these women see in a man who look gangster, and has no career other then being a career criminal?
I don't know what the attraction is for women who date "bad boys" or "criminals". My first husband was a "bad boy" and the attraction I think was that he wasn't afraid of anything, was wild, and just didn't care about anything even our son when he was born. My time with him was limited so I guess you could say eventually we all figure out that a bad boy isn't a good thing to have. Don't go all gangster or bad boy now just to attract a woman. I eventually "got it" and married a great guy who does care about my son, does care about a LEGAL job and life is good. You can also find that some of the women who do hook up with those bad boys are not so nice themselves. I am or was ok back in the day when I married my bad boy but like I said, it only brought me grief..learned the hard way.
Really, he sounds like an idiot and merely being a broker on Wall Street doesn't mean he's headed for the corner office.
We actually agree on something.

Cultural standards of behavior are constantly changing. THerefore, a particular behavior in one context could be considered classless while in another historical context it may not have been perceived as classless. You're using your modern wordview to classify what is classless, when that's irrelevant because it's the historical context that you ignore.
What difference does historical context make?

But hey, I guess we're in a post-racial society. ( with a muslim president who was born in Kenya )
You've got to be kidding. This has to do with choices, people making a choice to make fools of themselves or not.

I'm sure it still looks like an "L", which would signify loser. Is that what people are doing at sporting events?

Um, I don't think so. The women who are dating these gangster types only have a certain segment of men available to them and the men dating these women likewise only have a certain type available to them. Men who date tramps don't get to date just anybody.
Lol most of them are wannabes, dressing like little wayne and having tats doesn't make you tough. Mostlt posers who do it as a sign of rebellion, women like it cuz its a fast life. Also these tough guys look more serious and look like they can go all night long in a women's eyes. It's just basically a front, you're selling a woman who image.

Yeah alot of them now are over 30 amd single. They got pregnant by this tough guy and know expect to meet a career oriented man who can take care of her and her child and when it doesn't happen they get bitter.

If I were your mother, I would caution you that this could be a very dangerous thing to do. Please reconsider this behavior.
And real men with class don't throw up that middle finger either
Well you ain’t my d&*$ mother, so why did you anyway? What are you the morality police or Buzz Killington’s wife?
Well maybe your “real men” don’t but real men don’t waste time on something so trivial.

I bet some of these posters would run with fright if they saw like 5 or 6 black guys just hanging out on the corner talking and doing nothing else.

Wouldn't be my cup of tea, but I'm all for families having their own private jokes and ways of teasing.
Flipping the bird is really rude when you do it to strangers or in anger, or both
Once you have driven in DC or Louisville traffic, you’d understand why some let the bird fly easily. Plus where is there any harm in flashing when out with friends as a joke?
Okay is the F bomb any better?

It is explained THAT “L” stands for University of Louisville. We put it up when our Cardinals are playing, classic example I watched the Final Four downtown a few weeks ago and middle fingers and “L” were going up all game.

Of course it would look like that to someone outside of the city of Louisville. It is not our fault our team starts with an L.
