Fellas, Don't Do This Stuff Anymore, Yo!

And this is coming from the same dude that admitted earlier today that he used to watch Felicity and that he has a Febreze scented oil warmer that smells like cookies... For real, my man, don't do this stuff, yo! It makes you look suspect. All drawn from real life experiences. I don't expect you to agree with all of them. This is a Rashan moment.

Don't ride around in your whip, leaned back in the seat, pimpin playing female empowerment songs. It's not cool to have Chrissette Michelle pumping out your Blaupunkt. You can't look manly doing the "pat yo weave, ladies" dance in your whip. I like Anita Baker too. But "Body and Soul" bumpin from your ride? Might wanna check that.

Don't use Victoria Secret's lotion in public. I don't care how much you like the vanilla joints, its not made for a man. Nothing against you getting your moisturizer on, but when you pull out the Vicky from your man purse, you look a little suspect.

Don't talk about your manicure. No, scratch that... Don't talk about your manicurist... in glowing terms. I'm not hating on you taking care of your hands. I probably should get that done too. But for real, being on a first name basis with her and saying "I don't let no one else touch these nails" is taking it a little too far. Again, get your manicure, I don't care, but for real don't call your manicurist "my nail girl."

Don't be dancing around with your homeboys. All up in the club doing choreographed steps and shit. Shaking your dreads in a synchronized fashion. Not dancing with any of the girls in the spot, but popping, locking and dropping at the same time as your boys. Cut that stuff out, yo! The only time you should be doing the exact same step as your homeboy is if you got on matching outfits and are performing ON STAGE. Not the dance floor, ON STAGE with thousands of teenyboppers screaming the name of your R&B group. The only excuse for male choreography is if you A. in a boy band or B) trying to start a boy band or C) in a dance competetion presented by Randy Jackson. or D) in the sequel to You Got Served. (speaking of which, anyone else find that You Got Served episode of South Park utterly hilarious?)

Dont use the phrase "no homo." Where the hell did this come from? I first saw it on the internet, but now people in real life are saying this mess too. Is it really that deep that you can't give another man props without saying "no homo?" Do you really think that saying that makes us think you are not gay, or if you forgot to say it, we would think you are? Example. I like Jay-Z (no homo.) Just crazy to me. Nobody was even thinking you were gay until you decided to clarify stuff.

That's all I got. I'm going back to sleep now. What you think men shouldn't do?
