So last night I participated in an event called Venus vs. Mars here in Atlanta. It was a relationship panel where some of the best and brightest minds in the entertainment industry came together to duke it out in the ultimate battle of the sexes. When the dust cleared, the men had came out on top (hey, was there any doubt that this would be the outcome?)

One of the major points of the evening was brought up by Issac Hayes III, aka Ike Dirty. He contended that it’s impossible for a man to be labeled as a whore—no matter how much a woman may try to throw around that label.

Well this morning, he wrote the argument in a blog that I wanted to share with you. Read. Comment. Share. Oh, and make sure you follow him on Twitter by clicking here.

Boy! this one is gonna get me in trouble!

In my never ending attempt to defend men as much as we get bashed by ladies and piss you all off at the same time, I couldn’t wait to write this one. “O.K.! I’M RELOADED!” Hee… Hee…

I’ve heard women call men hoes and sluts for years. I’ve had numerous debates about this issue constantly hearing all that senseless blabber by women.

News Flash ladies, MEN CAN’T BE HOES! I know, I know. Pots, Pans, Shoes, Tomatoes being thrown at my head. Boos and hisses from the crowd of angry women reading this right now. I know. But it’s the truth. Sorry ladies. The reason why men can’t be hoes and women can is very simple. When it comes to men, SEX IS AN ACQUISITION. Men acquire sex. WOMEN GIVE SEX AWAY. Women allow sex to happen. Outside the evil tragedy of rape and molestation, every time a woman has ever had sex SHE has allowed it to happen. The ultimate final decision is YOURS, AND YOURS ALONE to have sex. Men could want sex with you all they want, but if you don’t give it the green light it just isn’t goin to happen . You allow the panties to come down past your hips and off your ankles. THAT’S YOU LETTING IT HAPPEN! Men, we’re pretty much always down for sex. But women, you guys pick your sex partners. YOU CHOOSE. So if you choose to give your sex to a bunch of different men, that makes you a HOE. If a man gets a lot of sex given to him, that makes him good at acquiring sex. We’re only allowed to have the sex that is given to us. By no means does this mean a man can’t be promiscuous. Meaning he has no discretion with whom he tries to acquire sex from. So if he’s tryin to holla at every raggedy ass chick that gives their booty away like club flyers then yeah, he’s promiscuous. But that doesn’t make him a hoe, it just makes him have bad taste in women.

Good Looks, Charisma and Money increase the number of women that wanna give their sex away to men. WHICH IS USUALLY THE TYPE OF MAN THAT GETS CALLED A HOE. Truth! Attractive, Successful, Regular Dudes with Good Looks and all around Game or of course, Singers, Rappers, Athletes and Actors. Those types of men are gettin’ sex thrown at them all the time so they are usually not with one woman but are with several. Which inspire women that want them too to call them Hoes. Sounds like hatin’ to me. What? I don’t see any ugly, busted, buck-toothed dudes gettin called hoe! See, there’s a word rather than hoe that best describes a man that has lots of sex given to him. Ya know what it is?……

It’s called a “PLAYER”. So the next time you see that cute man that has all the ladies attention and you wanna get at him too. That’s not a Hoe, That’s a Player. He’s out doin’ him. So don’t hate the PLAYER, hate the GAME. Either get on the court or stay on the sidelines. No need to hate, name call and bash him from the stands. He’s a Player. And we all know what Players do…..

Players Play. Swish!

AT THE BUZZER!!! YES!!! IKE DIRTY DOES IT AGAIN! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

Til next time number 12, Dirty Out! Ha….

So what are you thoughts? Vote below and make your voice heard.

I’ve been sitting here for the past 30 minutes trying to remember the last time I approached a woman using a pick up line. The concept seems so foreign to me at this stage of my life. Long gone are the wild college days where I’d seemingly bump into a new “most beautiful woman” every three days … I was a trip. Well, those days are behind me, so you can imagine that it caught me off guard to witness a friend walk up to a woman and say, “I can’t really tell if you’re beautiful because I can’t get past your eyes.”

My mouth dropped … and hers did too, followed by a gut-busting laugh shared with her girlfriends.

As he trudged back to our group attempting to downplay the embarrassment, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. But my pity soon turned to bewilderment after replaying the scene in my head. Are the days of simply walking up to a woman and introducing yourself long gone? Have those honest, personal moments been replaced by over-rehearsed, overused “ladies man” recitations?

Apparently so…

When I got home that night, I conducted an internet search and uncovered hundreds of websites dedicated to the art of the clever pick up line. (Go figure.) Ironically enough, I even ran across the one I heard earlier that night. While some of the ones that I read were admittedly funny, I just find it hard to believe that anyone over the age of 18 would actually use these.

I guess I was wrong.

In fact, here are five of the more popular pick up lines that I uncovered.

1. “Let’s play a game of love. If I win, you’re mine. Otherwise, I’m yours.”

2. “Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?”

3. “If you were words on a page, you’d be what they call fine print.”

4. “Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”

5. “I may not have gotten your virginity, but can I at least have the box it came in?”

Fly Question of the Day: Describe the wildest pickup line you’ve ever experienced that actually worked? (Either on the giving or receiving end.)
