Little to Nothin'...Excuse Me? [Potential to be Controversial]

Look, the fact that most of the men in today's generation act the way they do in romantic relationships (whether that relationship be "talking," dating, boyfriend-girlfriend, or whatever) disgusts me! I just don't understand the level of entitlement that most guys feel they have just because they spend a couple of dollars takin' a girl out to dinner or something. NEWSFLASH! You're the guy...that's what you're suppose to do! SMH. Also, why is it that when females who aren't so quick to pull out the duckets, labeled GOLD DIGGERS? Maybe this is just me being old-fashioned, but I believe that guys who expect a certain kind of relationship, should have to put in the work. No, "putting in work" doesn't just mean paying for the dates, but it also entails being there for emotional support consistently, not just when you feel like it. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that most guys percieve interaction with women as a "cost-benefit" equation...In other words, they're trying to figure what's the least amount of work they have to put in to get what they want....

Is It Okay to KEEP a Man?

Well for those of you who don't know what it means to be a {KEPT man}...it entails being a man who is financially supported by a wealthy, usually older, person (usually a woman) who is neither the man's spouse nor his close relative. Within this type of relationship, the man is offering this older woman [his time and body] in exchange for [material goods], and a [raise in his status] among other things. Personally, a woman should never have to be in a position to HAVE to "keep" a man. The sole purposes of being a kept man are to provide [quality time and sex], for lack of better terminology. If that woman was in a loving relationship with a man of her own, she wouldn't feel the need to basically "hire" this type of man to provide what she is lacking. Yet, a lot of times, these type of women don't desire these type of men because they are lacking something in their lives, they just want to feel a sense of empowerment...and, in this context, dealing out cash and/or other material things to men for whatever services they provide helps them achieve that goal.
