Respect Yourself Damnit!

I'm of the general opinion that HELL TO THE NAW do you "advertise" on the internet. If you are that inclined to show off your assets, then go into porn, hell.

There is an individual on MySpace who added me a while ago, who is no long a friend on MySpace, and I was like "This is cool." Then I read his various display names, and bulletins, and somehow looked at some of his pictures. I wish I wasn't naturally drawn to that, not in a turns me on kind of way, but in a "really, is he really doing that shit" kind of way. His bulletins always talk about how he's a male diva or a bad bitch, his bulletins talk about all sorts of stuff, and his pictures... Well, I'm still kind of nauseous.

Let's get on me for a second. I had the inclination to look at what he was doing. The fact that I am now blogging about it doesn't bode well for my credibility or image. I chose to add him, to check out the various objects that I am opposed to. Glad we got that out the way.

Now, why? I have some pictures on FB from Halloween where I wore jeans, a vest, and a bowtie (I was poor!). I feign to add pictures of myself lacking any article of clothes besides shoes, though I appreciate and admire my own body. I've thought about it, but if someone really wants to see, they'll ask or try, and even still they may not get the chance. My goodies aren't advertisements. My goodies are my goodies, and I'm not always the one to share. Why blast all that stuff on the internet? I heard once, keep the man or woman in surprise. Don't put it all out there.

I have a lack of respect for people who do that. It's not attractive. It's actually counter productive. Who's going to comment on stuff like that? The people who are either so loose that they get it from everywhere, and not in an admirable way, or the people who are so desperate they'll clamour for any bit of skin they can see. Ever see someone who posts pictures like that and who responds? Their friends and skeezes. Please, please correct me if I'm wrong.

This definitely put things into perspective.
