The Professional

I don’t know if you know this or not but, when a group of women all live together, their cycles will sync up. It’s nature’s way of trying to keep a man monogamous. So is the same with the emotional state of the women in your life. When one woman starts trippin’, they all start trippin’. This week alone I’ve been called a joke, I’ve been asked to buy a whole car, I was told I’m not who I think I am, and to top it all off, a person I just met last weekend hit me with the infamous line, "You’re pissing me off!”

At this point of the article, I would like to discuss once again…Batman. One thing about Batman, he’s always anticipating the bullshit. Because of this anticipation, can’t nobody get Batman out of character. He always has a pick to get himself out of some handcuffs, a gas mask, an antidote, and some kind of laser…because you never know. Not once have you ever seen this man caught off guard. And that is exactly our problem gentlemen. Women always catch us off guard with some bullshit. While you’re out eating at a restaurant, here she comes telling you that she been fucking your homie, for weeks, and she’s leaving you. As soon as you get home from a long day of work, she wants to ask you to go to Walgreens for medicine because she doesn’t feel well, even though she sounded just fine an hour ago, and pick some food up for the kids. Or how about after you’ve spent your hard-earned money on alcohol and the hotel room, she tells you she’s on her period and can’t make it. They deliver 24 karat bullshit to our front door time and time again, yet still, we never expect it. On top of this, we make the fatal mistake of letting them feed off of our emotions by arguing and fussing with them.

Here’s an example of what happens to you in the midst of a woman’s bullshit.

You’re at peace… chillin’…not a care in the world… life is too good. You assume you’re woman is at peace as well….infact, her state of mind is not even on your radar. Unbeknownst to you, she is mad… about… something. Out of nowhere, she hits you with the bullshit. You feel your emotions stirring up, but you remain calm, you attempt to use some logic. You fail miserably. She hits you with more bullshit except now, she’s gone too far with her words. Now you’re furious… you yell and you shout. She suddenly shuts down. She has gotten you to react. You don’t know what just happened. You’re irate and confused as hell with a stupid ass look on your face…and nobody gives a fuck. Hold this L.

Because we don’t anticipate their bullshit… we lose. Because we get comfortable…we lose. Because of our pride and the foolish need to be right…we lose. Because we react instead of using our most powerful asset…our minds…WE LOSE.

Let’s use LeBron James from the Los Angeles Lakers for another example.

He just lost a big game. His team played like shit. He tried to do everything to win and still came up short. He misses his wife and kids due to this long ass road trip. And now, on top of all that, he still has to answer a shit load of post-game questions from reporters. On the very 1st question a reporter asks him, “Lebron, what do you have to say about Kyrie Irving getting suspended over his antisemitic comments?” You and I both know what LeBron wants to say… “Mann, I don’t give a FUCK about no gotdamn Kyrie Irving bruh! Didn’t you just see we lost a whole fucking game cuz my team is trash, don’t ever ask me no stupid ass shit like that again, next question!” But, instead, what LeBron doesn’t do, is react, because that’s what they’re hoping and praying for. In miliseconds…he calms himself down, tells his ego and pride to sit, gathers his thoughts, and responds with a nice, cool, and collected answer. How is LeBron able to do this? By being a motherfucking PROFESSIONAL! By staying ready and prepared for the bullshit and keeping a PROFESSIONAL mindset at all times. And this, is how you too must ALWAYS conduct yourself when dealing with any woman in your life…as a gotdamn PROFESSIONAL. That’s right!

Give up the need to be right. Because you my dear sir, will be right in the long run. If you let them win their bullshit battles you will win the glorious war. And what is the end goal of war? PEACE. Logic is 47 steps ahead of emotion. But if you try to play emotion for emotion with women, you will lose every battle AND the war.

When you get up today… expect the bullshit. When you hear that text notification…expect the bullshit. ANYTIME you decide to converse with a woman…expect the bullshit. And when the bullshit does come, you’ll be prepared. When you feel those emotions rising up inside you, recognize them, acknowledge them, but don’t react. Breathe… deep, take your time… what’s the rush fam, think to yourself, “I don’t need to be right, the need to be right is nothing but hidden insecurity, I am a very secure man and it’s peace over pride all day, it’s a small loss now but it’s a big win later, I AM A PROFESSIONAL.” The only thing that needs to verbally come out of your mouth when bullshit is upon you is… “Okay.” She will think she has won, so what, let her have that meaningless victory. Let her enjoy it now, because one day, no one will be able to take you off your square, absolutely no one.

Now, this won’t be overnight. You must practice, just as I do. Every single time a woman comes with some bull you should get excited because it’s another opportunity for you to practice your professionalism.

Be like LeBron. Be like Batman. Stay professional outchea.
