And ode to the great African-American Gigolo , Jonathan Plummer.
I can’t believe she didn’t see that. I mean he looks like a feminine Prince.
So I was asked the question the other day… “Can men be Gold Diggers?” And the only reply I could think of was, “Is John McCain Old?” Of course men can be Gold Diggers. But to be honest any man that tries to live off a woman, and cannot contribute anything, can’t really be called a man.
Well the background story to this question was that this young lady had a man trying to court her. Before they ever went on a date he was asking for phone bill money. She told him no and he went on to the next John… or Jeannette. My prostitution allusion didn’t go as well as I thought it would right there. Moving along… Anyway ladies yes there are male gold diggers. And here are 5 signs of the male Gold Digger:
- He wants you to take him out for the first or subsequent dates. Now I don’t have a problem if every once in a while my lady wanted to take me out. But I wouldn’t want to make it a habit where she is taking me out all the time.
- He’s asking for help on specific bills. Your first question should be… “How were you getting by before you met me?”
- He seems to have possessions that can’t be paid for by his current salary. He has a high rise apartment downtown with new furniture, but works at McDonald’s. See also drug dealer, robber, etc.
- He’s always talking about something he needs and mentioning the upcoming holidays. Almost hinting at something.
- He’s always talking about how broke he is.
I just noticed these same rules apply to women. Well these are your rules for the day. Please govern yourselves accordingly. And if you have a few signs go ahead and drop me a few.

The other day, I was having a conversation with some friends about Scotch. One friend mentioned he had bought a cheaper scotch, and then bought a more expensive aged brand that he said basically made the other scotch taste like Heaven’s Hill. And if you been broke and in college , you know what Heaven’s Hill is… Or Maybe Quality House was your cup of tea! Anyway… Another friend chimed in and basically said that people buy things like 10 year old Scotch because they want to be seen, not because they actually like it. And to some extent I can agree with him. But on the other hand I do a lot of bougie stuff because I like it… Things such as going to nice restaurants, staying in nice hotel rooms, etc. The other side to it is things that cost more are better. This may be true to an extent, but not always. But trust me there is a difference between Grey Goose and Moonshine. There is a difference between the Motel 6 and the W. So I have to ask you guys: When are you being bougie for the sake of being bougie, and when are you doing it because you like or it’s just better? Here are some rules for me:
1. If you don’t like it but you buy it anyway, you’re being bougie. I smoked a cigar the other day. And I hated it. (I think anybody that gets to the point of even being a smoker has some serious psychological issues.) But I was in an atmosphere where that’s what people did. They smoked expensive cigars. So I had to have me an expensive cigar wit my bougie butt.
2. If you have to tell everybody you doing it, you are being bougie. A person truly comfortable with themselves will never have to flaunt the fact that they have something nice. Wit yo’ bougie butt.
3. When you buy the more expensive brand even when the cheaper brand is the same. I have found supermarket brand is okay for me. Great Value & Equate will suffice. So stop buying the expensive stuff. Wit yo’ shopping, bougie butt!!!
4. When you only open yourself up to one kind of culture. I can just as easily be seen listening to Lil’ Wayne and playing spades drinking a beer as I can be seen drinking wine at an art gallery opening. Stop taking yourself too seriously… Wit yo’ drunk, bougie butt!!!
That’s all I got. What about you? Any other ways to know you are bougie and not just enjoying yourself? Do you have any stories of you or someone else acting bougie and you felt like slapping the bougie out of them? Let me know.
