Money dont make the man but the man makes the money...
Hmm early morning epiphany: Perception is a funny thing. Hate to say this...Actually, I dont. I love saying the truth. Many females want a man that looks like he has money rather than a man that actually has money...
I'm on the train one day with my classmate. There's this guy sitting across from us with some dingy, faded, torn jeans. Dirty white-t. Timbalands that have seen better days. It's time to visit a barber. And he has this regular ol' duffle bag. Automatically, my classmate is shitting on him. "Damn, you see that nigga Sha?" Im like yea, I see him, he must had a hard day at work. She's convinced that the clothes he's wearing is an everyday look for him because she must have really thought he walked the street like that just because its a trending style for him. She paid so much attention to his clothing she didnt notice his Apple Iphone 4, the decked out wedding band on his finger, and his work ID hanging out his back pocket.
On the outside to a basic bitch, he looks like a bum. To me, his appearance just showed me these 4 things: a) he is employed, probably by a construction company($$$), b) if his ring was blinged out, imagine what his wifes ring looks like, c) he is the marrying type which means but doesnt necessarily have to be true that he's capable of commitment, d) he likes the finer things in life but doesnt care if he looks like it or not because he lives for him, his wife, and maybe, a family. Last but not least e) though he was rugged-looking, he was kinda cute ;).
Women (some) dont know quality when they see it. They always go for the Ralph Lauren, Burberry, and Gucci wearing nigga ASSUMING he has flocks of dough. The flashy nigga who has all that fly shit because of his girl, his momma or a car accident settlement.This doesnt mean he is a man of quality. Those are often the jerks, the players, and the users. And ya bitches just fall for it all the time. "My man get fly! My man rock Gucci!, My man got money!" No sweetie, ya man LOOKS like he has money but cant afford Popeyes.
This is why boys trying to grow up into men think that showing that you got it is more important than actually having it. They are trying to live up to that same woman who thinks the same way, that looking like a million bucks is by far, more better than actually trying to have a million bucks. Dont get me wrong, physical appearance is VERY important, its the FIRST impression you receive when you meet a person. We all judge each other by our appearance whether its in a good way or a bad way. And trust me, I like a well dressed man just as much as the next chick does. And I'm not saying theres anything wrong with spending money and treating yourself either. All im saying is look at the bigger picture. Dont front on a nigga because his shirt dont cost 500 dollars. Dont play him cus he works so much that he doesnt have time to sit in the barber. Stop feening for that warped piece of glass you think is a diamond.
Quality is always better than quantity.
