“A word to the wise ain’t necessary, its the stupid ones who need advice.”

11/01/2010

It’s been brought to my attention that I write about relationships alot, despite the fact that it’s been many years since I’ve actually been in one. To that, I say “so what.”

Just cause I’m not in one, doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about them, or that I don’t know how I like to be treated when in one or when being courted. And really, everything I write here is from my own point of view. I don’t speak for every women (or even man, whatever) and don’t claim to. Some people agree with me and the others… well, they’re just stupid (that was a joke, laugh).

But surprisingly, I do know a little something. Which brings me to a related topic. Single people are not the devil. It really is okay to ask us for advice and use it. I’ve read more than once that you shouldn’t take relationship advice from a single person. And quite frankly, that’s some bull. Just cause we don’t have a significant other, doesn’t mean we don’t have brains. When you come up to me every other day complaining about how your baby daddy done went and knocked another girl up, doesn’t give you money for your own kid and pretty much treats you like crap, well me telling you to leave him, is pretty genius advice. Yep. AND, if you don’t like the advice someone gives you, then all you have to do is say “thanks, but I think I’ll handle this on my own.” It’s really just that simple.

For the sake of diversity tho, I’ll try to branch out and write on something different next go round. Shoes, perhaps. You can’t go wrong with shoes.

ps. The title quote is via Bill Cosby. I knew I liked that man for a reason.

    WOOT! SHOES! :D

    i don’t think it should matter whether a person is in a relationship or single when it comes to seeking advice. just make sure its someone you trust and respect. hell, respect would probably suffice. asking someone with questionable behavior about your relationship simply because they’re the only other person in a relationship that you know is just.. well stupid.

    I agree with you 100%.

    Some single people have more insight on relationships than people who are in relationships……in my experience…but I’m no expert =)

    I hate it when people say “Why take advice from her, she’s single.” Like taking advice from someone who’s been with ONE mad for 5 years is golden as well? Most single people are single because they know what they want and haven’t found it yet. Therefore, they are able to tell you what to look for and what to run from.

    my problem isn’t with single people doling out advice. it’s the single, jaded, bitter people giving out weak advice due to their own shortcomings that piss me off. then again there’s bitter ass people in relationships too. i suppose you’d REALLY have to know who you’re talking to before you decide on taking their advice, whether they’re single or not. because i sure as hell don’t be asking my shallow ass manslut homeboys for relationship advice.
