the lightbulb: 8 simple inner “voila!” statements that would make vsb (and every other relationship advice website) obsolete

by The Champ on November 18, 2009 · 282 comments

in attraction, bedside manner, lists, mandom, theory

hmmm. maybe "i dont do commitment" actually isn't mancode for "i'll change my mind if you keep sleeping with me"
maybe “i dont do commitment” actually isn’t mancode for “i’ll change my mind if you keep sleeping with me”

you know, after we reach each of our crime-fighting and world domination goals, our plan is to live in a world where vsb has been rendered obsolete, a universe where the sage wisdom of panama, the champ, and liz’s boobs is no longer needed because everyone is making wise relationship-related decisions on their own.

thing is, we’re really not that far from that day, as much of the dating and mating acrimony we face (and the advice received) would be thwarted if we just started asking ourselves simple questions and began making simple mental comments and observations before acting, “voila!” statements if you will.

here’s 8 of them

1. “hmmm: would i be forced to kill somebody if i got her pregnant?”

from a man’s perspective, there are two distinct types of mental reactions to unplanned pregnancies.

a) “well, even though we weren’t expecting this, we can make this work”

b) “somebody (me, her, or the seed) has to die. now.”

there’d be no need for vsb if we stopped f*cking all of the potential “b’s”

2. “you know, maybe my perpetually single and unhappy girlfriends aren’t the best people to get relationship advice from”

3. “all of my friends seem to want to sleep with my man, and its getting pretty frustrating. i wonder if my daily tweets, emails, and facebook status messages about his d*ck have anything to do with that?”

4. “i love my stringent female beauty standards just the way they are. but, until i move out of my grandma’s basement, maybe i should either adjust them or just start keeping them to myself”

imagine, a world where lame men don’t hold all women to unrealistically and unattainably attractive standards, and where the rest of the men don’t have to listen to women incessantly b*tching about the men who do this, even though they only comprise 6% of the male population

5. “damn. another month has passed without a single man approaching me. i probably should try this new ‘sileing‘ or ‘miling‘ or whatever facial expression thing everybody keeps raving about.”

6. “even though he’s been really nice and sweet to me, i wonder if i should be more bothered by the man i saw him murder last weekend”

if i had a dollar for every woman i’ve known who’s attracted to shady dudes and needed consolation after he did some shady sh*t to her, i’d have at least 11 f*cking dollars. i know that doesn’t seem like alot of money, but it’s a recession, and that can get you a month’s worth of meals in pittsburgh

7. “f*ck! shot down again. maybe i should retire my genius ‘do you know the difference between my d*ck and a chicken leg? no? well, let’s go on a picnic and find out.‘ pick-up line”

8. “i should probably stop by the weight scale store at the mall some time next weekend. while i’m there, it wouldn’t hurt to peek inside the mirror store next door for a minute as well.”

i’m sure i’m missing a few.

people of vsb.com, can you think of any more inner “voila” statements that could make the dating and relationship game much easier?

“OK, so I know we just broke up a few weeks ago, and we had that random night of sex last night, but maybe telling him that I might be pregnant, even though it is a lie, won’t make him want to be with me again.”

or

“Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to be her friend RIGHT AFTER I broke up with her. Yea… letting her breathe for a month will make things better for the both of us”

this is for a friend of mine…

*actually, giving him a bl*w job isn’t that big a deal. let me just try it…”

girlfriend INSISTS that ‘oral love’ is a filthy business and she’ll NEVER do it… she is beautiful, smart, and sweet (with the juiciest, most promising lips) – but cannot sustain a relationship beyond month 1 (either they leave, or cheat- no doubt with an oral love giver). i’m convinced the lack of oral love is a real factor…

i’m not one for holding people ransom for not performing certain s3xual activities, but she’s got this weird judgemental attitude towards it, and the d!ck in general – to the extent that i’m often like “my friend, do you even LIKE pen!ses???” coz she talks about them with such disdain….

well…they are ugly. i went through a phase where i was all about the oral–with my 1 boyfriend. but then one day there was a little too much sunlight in the room and i saw too much. um…i’m not gonna lie. i haven’t done it since. uh uh. and, clearly, that was years ago. hell, i might be the friend you’re talkin about.

i would never just straight up tell a man that i won’t do it or that i’m disgusted by it though. some things you have to figure out on your own, guy.

I’m filing this under “Rationalization.” Female parts create a lot more visual issues than male parts, so I hope you’re at least being consistent on what you give and receive. And I don’t know a guy who doesn’t find that to be a deal breaker (which I’m sure you’re well aware of).

I am cosigning this sentence… but will add that in the defense of women, it’s been my experience that men may have a harder time dealing with that type of honesty from a woman… There all kinds of connotations attached to statements like these: “I really like s3x and expect it to play an important role in our relationship” or “s3xual satisfaction is a deciding factor of whether or not a relationship lasts in my opinion”… unfortunately too many of your brethren read that as “Negro you did not handle your business to the point that I had to say something” or “I probably have more experience than you and I would like you to be aware of that fact” or even worst “I have been around the block”…. all statements that may or may not be true. All I am saying is it’s less comfortable for a woman to voice her opinions about the importance of s3x in a relationship… at least at the beginning…

By the time, she has to voice them aloud, she has already been fantasized about Tony the mailman to get off while chexing you… which we all know does not bode well.

How about…
–Maybe I should keep a life of my own and not drop everything for my boo…or take on all of his/her interests because I think that makes me more appealing.
–I should probably take it down a notch and not try to marry any man that shows interest in me.
–Maybe if there is something major I’m desiring to change about someone, I should cut my losses early cause change probably ain’t coming.

Lastly, maybe I should just gain some common sense. That should solve a few problems. I’m just sayin…

First off…congrats on knowing about a good strip club to go to for tutoring…yes tutoring. We should make a fieldtrip out of it.

I would not recommend too many other places for average women to go learn. Some places are just too much like whore houses. Magic city on the other hand…you’ll see alumni licence plates on a number of the dancer’s cars…and you would never guess that the trainer in your gym or SOME of your coworkers moonlight there.

Go in places like this to learn how to walk around in your underwear…some of yall don’t have a clue. And no…you don’t have to buy expensive lingerie. If you learn how to carry that azz…it can be sexy in your comfy granny time of the month with part of the wing/string hanging out panties with the elastic coming apart because you done had em for 10 years.

@atltx, Dont get me effed up…. Magic city chix…is bad chix…..but when me and the crew go to a fine gentlemen’s establishment….i feel it is awkward that some of them know “the exotic dancers” on a first name basis…..

second im not sure a field trip is warranted or appropriate as I have done quite a bit of research…..(Blacklaw is a board certified bootyologist and a grown a$$ MAN *not sure if the name was throwin u off on my gender*)

third u and i are in total agreement on the possible skill level enhancement that such an establishment will have on a chick’s day to day walking ability….i prefer heels and them thigh high stockings if anybody asking

But back to our “raison d’etre” I think over stimulation of the male libido is part of the reason dudes need “niagra” and the rest of them pills and find themselves dissatisfied with the chick they got who would be the baddest nastiest freakiest chick on earth if they would just say something instead of using “Wett” (look her up she tha ish) as their amateur psychologist.

Panama Jackson Reply:

@atltx, i dont know man…expecting women to adhere to stripper standards is a bit much. i mean, regardless to what we think, a lot of those women are the physical dimes we talk about. you can’t just manufacture the fineness. hell, the first stripper i ever saw in my life amazed me. i was like, gotdamn, how is this the finest women i’ve seen thus far in life.

i was only 12 but you get the point.

I honestly had a “voila!” moment last night around 10:30. I immediately reached for the phone to call my girl to share it but realized it was 10:30 and she prolly didn’t wanna hear my drama just before bed.

“Maybe I don’t need to ruin his life by divulging to his gf all the nasty sh*t he’s been doing behind her back. Maybe I should just let him ruin his relationship on his own, as he undoubtedly will, and I’ll just stay on the sidelines and not let any of the nasty drama splatter off on me in the process.”

Being the vengeful person that I am, it’s gonna be difficult, but I felt such clarity when that thought came to me last night that it almost, ALMOST rendered VSB obsolete right here in my humble abode.

I’d add to that, many “other woman” calls do NOT end well with both chicks taking a skillet upside dude’s head. It’s like a powder keg of drama, no matter who initiates contact.

Story: My friend lied and told some dude she was pregnant so that he’d stop calling her. His girl found the text message and called my friend. So my friend being the a*hole she is (I love this bish) tells his girl “Yeah I’m pregnant and the baby is your man’s”. So dude is in the backg’d pleading with the girl. The girl is crying in Spanglish all dramatic. And my homie is all “I know he betta make that court date next week!”. LMAO!! The best part? She never even slept with this dude! They met like a week prior to all this! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! I still laugh about this isht.

…maybe the fact that he doesn’t want me up under him 24/7 does not mean he’s cheating.

…maybe he wants “me” time is an indication that I’m smothering him and should back the hell up.

…maybe he/she won’t return my calls because he/she is simply not interested.

…maybe if I didn’t dominate the conversation talking about me he’d call more often. (…if we’ve been on our first phone conversation for an hour and I still know nothing about him, maybe I talk too much.)

…maybe the reason he only calls me late at night to come over doesn’t mean he’s just a busy person who’s still trying to make our relationship work.

…maybe the fact that we’ve dated for a year and I haven’t been to his house indicates something ain’t right.

…maybe if his mom doesn’t like me and makes hurtful statements like “I don’t know why you’re messing with a married man” means he really might be married…especially since in our 13 years together he’s left me at the alter once, then cancelled our wedding trip to Jamaica a few years afterwards.

…perhaps he wasn’t telling the entire truth when he said that the reason his name appears in the county records as married to ole girl was because he needed his mom to think he was married so they only filled out the paperwork but didn’t get married.

On the flip side of this, since the VSBrethren are all about crimefighting and whatnot, can ya’ll invent some smiling detector or something so that every man doesn’t think a smile is an invite to the pantalones? Sometimes a smile is just a polite one?

“can you think of any more inner “voila” statements that could make the dating and relationship game much easier?”

1. Maybe I should get the eff over myself.
2. There is no “change we can believe in” when it comes to a man. If I want to change him, I don’t want him.
3. Hmm, maybe having 10 babies with 15 baby mamas is not what’s parching on the pavement unless my boo is named “The Learning Channel” and/or “Maury Povich”.
4.Maybe “[insert word here] deez” is the right comeback to any relationship argument and/or convo. For example:

Woman: Boy, I called you 50-lem times today? Where you been at? Why you ain’t call me?
Man: 50-lem deez.

OR
Man: Hey, boo, I’m home. Tired as all get out. What’s for dinner?
Woman: Dinner deez.

It might solve a lot of relationship mishaps. *Kanyeshrug*

@The Champ,

This ain’t a definitive guide (as folks have all kinds of smiles and whatnot), but a nice little A-B-C formula to go by is:

A. Tight-lipped smile: Just being polite. The kind there your lips are mushed together. 2520s do this a lot to Black folk when passing them by in the hallway. It says, “I acknowledge you even though I’ont really know you”

B. Regular smile: Could be, “Hey, I know YOU! Nice to see you!” or “I don’t hate you and would like to be your friend” or even “I don’t know you, but you seem nice”.

C. Smile w/teeth or otherwise huge smile equipped with bedroom eyes: “I want you to sperminate me.”

95% of ninjas interpret A, B, and/or C to all mean the exact same thing, which is C’s meaning.

Haha. Last night I was at the club and saw a dude I went to HS with. So I smile and wave him over to confirm that it’s him. Did the small talk thing (How are you? Who you here with?) and was ready to cut the convo short when dude starts all grabbing my arm and tryna make a night of it. Uh…maybe it was cuz I was drunk and I look frisky love this word; makes me feel 80) when I drink but…no. Ima need brothas to act like they’re used to friendly women even if they’re not. lol!

maybe i should stop pretending that i have my sh*t together and my life is all peaches and cream, to get my ex jealous and make him see what he’s missing

maybe what ppl say about never getting over your first love is nothing but a crock of sh*t that poisons your mind and leaves you stuck in a 4 yr rut

And he texts back ” Yeah you sexy, juicy, fine and very wet” .. Umm ya’ll aint on the same page and it’s time to move on- Voila!

…perhaps if every time she calls you, she wants to go out to some fancy show, order a bottle of wine and two entrees while you know that if she went solo or with her girls she wouldn’t do the same- and on top of that, she asks you to drop her off at the front gate and she’ll walk to her apartment without giving you so much as a kiss on the cheek, she’s probably sticking you for yo paper. Either stop answering her damn calls or redirect her to cook you dinner!! :(

Maybe when he says he’s not ready for a relationship and is not sure if he’ll ever get married again, his real intentions are to add you to the rotation and die a single dirty old man.

I just wanna say I’m very pleased with all the new VSS and VSB that came out the lurk for this one today. Check out the blog lmbao.org

And Champ I think you need a “C” to your number 1. I mean even if I got Oprah pregnant right now, I think I’ll be on some “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Lemme die now!!!” Ok maybe not with oprah but you know someone pretty desirable to have a baby with nonetheless

The first one is sooo true. My mother always said pick the father of your children carefully, so yea don’t have sex with a guy you wouldn’t want to be a father to your child.

But anyways, if he only texts/calls after 10pm then he really isn’t looking for a relationship.

On the flip side, if he texts/calls every hour and throws a hissy fit if you don’t answer within 10mins. then he could just be kinda crazy or controlling.

Excuse me sir…I sure did think that you were a woman. I must say though…you are breaking all types and kinds of man law. Like seriously man…nothing but brotherly love here…but…saying it’s not right to know a stripper’s first name and complaining about us as men desiring womb too much is like complaining about swolen labia or something.

Plus…you brought up another dude’s name that acts as if though he wears slips and frequents the MAC counter…without being forced to go there by his lady.

I’m just saying…I apologize for thinking that you were a woman.

How about if he actually changes his address across state lines after I move to his city to be with him, then maybe he really didn’t mean, “If only you lived near me girl.”

This is gonna first time for me sooooo I got few:
“Maybe I should stop being so insecure and realizes that he/she wants to be me even though I don’t have a body like trey songz or ass like a KING model.”

“Mayb women aren’t attracted to me wearing tight, bright-ass colored, sagging off my ass jeans. And notice H&M makes clothes for my black-ass to wear.”

“Maybe if I shave and clean my balls more she would be more willingly to do oral”

I heard the last to in a round-table discussion between men and women at before i graduated
