Seymour Monet has some thoughts on who you should be giving your love and attention to.

LEGAL TENDER RONI

So it’s wedding season, as they say.  Top that off with one of my buddies walking the plank soon.  Splash in the constant questions about why I’m not married from friends and family; and you get a special concoction I like to call “The Million Dollar Dream and the Five Dollar Lie.”

Marriage.

Yeah weddings are beautiful.  Yes marriage is the ultimate display of love.  It’s inside that I cry…seriously.  While they are all of these things, a lot of men are putting the trunk before the Hemi.  I’ll explain.

Ritual and expectations have us fucked up in the game fellas.  It has been argued that all of the actions that men take to better themselves are to attract women.  An arguable point I must say.  I say take it a step further.  Marry the money!  Once again for posterity.  MARRY THE MONEY!  (save the Jerry Maguire jokes)  Make the dough your partner for life.  Get betrothed to that dollar bill.  The vows are already built for it.  “To have and to hold from this day forward.”  (Yes, please!)  “For better or for worse, for richer, for poorer.”  (Sound like the stock market to anyone?)  “In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”  (Some of your wallets look sick right now but some green would bring it right back to life…and we all know we can’t take it with us.)  The value of the dollar will always fluctuate, but you will always need/want it.  Can you say that about your current lady?  (don’t answer that out loud)  Money was there before you could get it up, and will be there to buy the pills when you can’t get it up.  How can you not love that!  Don’t forsake her gentleman.

It’s no secret that we are outnumbered men.  However, this fact seems to be forgotten or ignored.  Wide nostriled dudes chasing women, fronting like they have long paper.  “It aint tricking if you got it”  Stop it silly man.  Yes it is…you can just afford it.  Does a thin pancake become a crepe just because you pay more for it?  No.  All non-herbs listen up; when you earnestly honor and respect the dollar everything else will follow.  Excuse my pimp rhetoric but it’s the only way I know to approach the subject.  When you look, feel and smell like money you are transformed into the Pied Piper.  I’m not talking R. Kelly trolling playgrounds Pied Piper mind you.  I’m talking about, “did that hot ass bartender just slide me her number?” Pied Piper.  For men money equals confidence.  Confidence attracts women.  Period.  And before I get roasted here let me say that all women aren’t miners.  I firmly believe that.  But if you show me one that says she doesn’t want security and I’ll show you a damn lie.

In marriage you have to put the needs of your mate before your own.  Imagine what your bottom line would look like if you treated money better than yourself?  Protected it like a loved one?  Yep.  You guessed it.  She’ll love you back and stay with you forever.  Then the women will always be there…..I PROMISE.  I leave you with words from the genteel Gwen Guthrie and the honorable Huey Freeman.

“Cause nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’  You got to have somethin’ if you wanna be with me….no romance without finance!”—Gwen Guthrie

“Bitches aint checkin for ni**as with beat up rides!”—Huey Freeman

  1. Mmm, sounds like you need the Morton’s Make it Rain award………I do have to say, you made some very good points and said some things that were true - but MARRY THE MONEY is a little extreme, don’t you think? Sure, every woman wants security but who in the world doesn’t - really? That doesn’t mean that in order to provide security, you have to have a million dollars and live in a mansion and drive the best car. What security means, is that you can provide for you and your family - which doesn’t mean an extravagant lifestyle. However, what I just described is only for grounded women and it seems like you’re not speaking of those women. Yes, knowing a man has money will keep a woman satisfied, but if you get with the RIGHT woman who is there for the RIGHT reasons, you and your money will get left behind in the dust if that’s the only thing that you have going for yourself. I’m sure that type of woman can hold her own until the God-send comes her way. Oh, but then again, you’re the Pied Piper and that will free you up to get with that hot-ass bartender, right? Hopefully Viagra will do the trick for you for the rest of your life!

  2. I’m quite sure if my man Icky Haight (btw, readers he loooves that name. Call him that repeatedly…please!) read these comments he’d be calling you to the podium for that award. Being neither here nor there…I’ll move on. I concede the point that all people want some form of security. However, men do not look for that as a trait when choosing a mate. Women do. You said it yourself…”knowing a man has money will keep a woman satisfied” Right now over half of marriages end in divorce, so apparently the current model isn’t working. One of the major arguments for newlyweds is over finances. If men took to the time to root themselves financially then their marriage can blossom later. (I think I’m going to throw up after writing that) Also, I never said anything about an extravagant lifestyle. You can live comfortably while married to money. The whole issue of the RIGHT woman and how men are supposed to treat women are a separate blog. The point of this is to tell guys where to start so they can be successful later. And by successful I do mean that hot ass bartender….I won’t know if she is a God send if I don’t call her…..right?

  3. Ok, those last two lines got me and you are so RIGHT!……. Most men don’t look for that trait when choosing a mate, but when ask ourselves why, the answer is in the true ROLE of a man/woman. I guess that’s where it gets complicated b/c what’s TRUE in one’s eyes may not be the same in another’s. You’ve made your point, however “married to the money” is a little extreme to me. Fellas, (and ladies) take it to the next level! Get yourself GROUNDED - in all aspects; spiritually, financially, emotionally, etc. That right there will make you successful, and not just for a mate……………..

  4. Touche might be the word you are looking for. It is extreme and I think something extreme is necessary to break this current marriage/divorce cycle. You make a good point in saying that the roles for one another in a relationship can vary greatly….and that being grounded across the board is important. I thank you for your opinion and trying to understand mine.

    P.S. And tell me how you respond when that spiritually grounded, emotionally stable “entrepeneur” (aka unemployed) brother hollas at ya!

Have your say!
