Hello Champ, Everyone,

Since today is the day of the week ruled by Mars, and since Mars is in the lusty, yet plainspoken sign of the Bull, I thought a bit of Call & Response was in order, per today's topic:

"Boy approaches girl at annual Delta Sigma Theta waffle-making contest/boat ride." (O: Not bad, such outings are Target-rich environs, we're off to a good start; the trick is, that with this sort of crowd, your Game must be calibrated accordingly; ideally, "Makashi Game" is what's called for, but since most guys aren't anywhere near that verbally facile or refined, good ole solid "Shii-Cho Game" will do)

"Girl, impressed with Boy’s uncanny resemblance to Derek Fisher, gives Boy her email address and Twitter handle." (O: Fatal mistake far too many Brothas make, but is understandable, in that Sistas tend to be wowed by Male Eye Candy a bit moreso than Women of other races. The downside of this is that far too many good looking Brothas FAIL, FAIL, FAIL to have any understanding of that which truly turns a Woman on sexually, which is, let's all say it together, PSYCHOSEXUAL DOMINANCE, aka GAME - which is something that is NOT, I repeat, N O T, NOT dependant on looks alone. If that weren't the case pretty boys wouldn't routinely get blown all out the frame from lack of same, and guys like the late Biggie wouldn't be Mackin' it to high heaven. A lot of good looking Brothas think that all they gotta do is "show up" like Pretty Women do - bzzzzz, WRONG. Always remember Obsidian Maxim #11: Vince Vaughn with tight Game beats Brad Pitt with none - every single time. Also, getting an email address and a Twitter thingy don't a real close make - getting her digits, is. If your Game is strong enough, you'll get this w/very little in the way of resistance)

"Boy and Girl connect through each other’s appreciation for ‘that’s what she said” jokes and squirters, and they decide to go to a movie and dinner." (O: Yet another fatal flaw and a telltale sign that Bruh's Game is virtually nonexistant - she should be laughing at YOUR jokes, which you dole out intermittently and per your timetable (more on this below), delivered in a smooth, off the cuff manner. Not sure what the "squirters" reference means, so can't comment...anyway, the "dinner and a movie" is yet another telltale sign of a Lame Brotha. Gamesmen know well that those who get all the cookies do in part, because they do that which the rest of the Lame, No-Booty-Getting Multitudes do not - the last thing you want to do is take a gal that you have not already covered thrice plus a Security Shot, is take her out to the dinner and a movie. This will guarantee you a spot in the Friend Zone...)

"After a nice — not spectacular, but pleasant — date, Boy drops Girl off at her place, walks her to her door, and they exchange the type of hug that allows each to assess the other’s body (both were pleased) without it being too obvious. Boy drives off, and Girl enters the house, pleasantly surprised with how well the date went. It’s late, so Girl hops in the shower. When she gets out, she notices that her phone is vibrating. She checks it, and sees the following message from Boy: “I miss you soooooo much right now. I didn’t think it was possible to miss a woman like this. Well, a woman other than my momma.” (O: Fatality; supplication to the max. Your cover's been blown, Mr. AFC Beta Boy. Might was well hang it up.)

"Girl immediately checks the time on her phone to make sure that she didn’t unknowingly fall into a coma for 6 weeks. When realizing that she hasn’t been unconscious for 6 weeks and that it’s only been 26 minutes since she last saw Boy, Girl immediately deletes Boy’s number, gets in bed, and fantasizes about Christina Hendricks while playing “Man Down” on her iPad." (O: Yet another Brotha bites the proverbial dust. What else is new?)

While it's true that, comparitively speaking, Black Men have more sex with more Women than their White, Asian or even Hispanic counterparts, that's only part of the story; once one enters Black America herself, one quickly finds that in truth, the following only applies to a much smaller subset of Brothas, those who either are born naturals when it comes to Seduction, or the even smaller sub-subset of Brothas who take the whole ball of wax seriously enough to apply themselves to a consistent and studied analysis of the Art of Love and Science of Seduction. This should come as no shock to anyone even remotely understanding the rudiments of Human Sociosexual Dynamics - in any given era or locale, the majority of the Men there will NOT be getting laid with any regularity or choice; a sizable chunk will NOT be getting laid AT ALL. People in general, and Women in particular, simply do not know, understand or care, just how incredibly easy it is for Men to go YEARS without so much as even coming anywhere near busting a nut that involves a real, flesh and blood Woman. And because of all the evo-based hangups Men in general have, coupled with immense pressures in this regard when it comes to Brothas, you can bet your bottom dollah that said Brothas are highly unlikely to come into the Light that is Game and correct his situation - so, as is the case in so many other areas of Black Male life, he/they continue to suffer in silence. 

To paraphrase the Good Book: you have no Game because you ask for no Game, and when you do call yourself trying to get some, to get it all twisted. This is the 21st century, Brothas. There is a SCIENCE to this thing, here. Learn it. 

A bit more C&A to close out:

2. The dry finger finger-pop

3. The double date

4. The first date dinner and a movie

5. The unprompted dick pic

6. The female to male hook-up

7. The break

8. The long-distance relationship.

9. The randomly arbitrary waiting period

10. The drunk dial

Y'all be cool
