  • Subtitles section
  • I'm gonna try to close out each one of my podcast episodes with some dating advice, based on some of the stuff getting said to me.
  • I'm down for it.
  • Y'all down for it?
  • I'm down for it.
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • I can do that.
  • So Paul Pierce gave advice and I'm very serious with my advice.
  • I take my advice very seriously because it's important to me that it works.
  • If anybody comes to me and they say, Stephen A, the advice didn't work for me, I'm upset.
  • Now there's plenty of men and women over the years listening to me when I was doing radio shows and television shows.
  • They're like, damn, Stephen A, that really, really worked, bro.
  • It really helped my relationship.
  • You the man.
  • So I take this very, very seriously.
  • And I was a disc jockey in college too.
  • I had my own show at night, at least two, three nights a week where I was playing nothing but slow jams, R&B.
  • They still thank me to this day, by the way.
  • But anyway, so Paul Pierce says, sends this out.
  • This tweet just the other day.
  • He said, if a girl ask a guy on a date and make the reservation and invite her girlfriend and you are the only guy, does the guy have to pay even if he got a lot of money?
  • Well, how that works?
  • It's what he said.
  • It's what he said.
  • Let me help the brother out.
  • The answer is no.
  • No, you do not have to pay If you can afford it.
  • You see, relationships come and go.
  • Stuff don't always work.
  • You're in love, then you're not in love.
  • You're in lust, then you're not in lust.
  • Infatuation ebbs and flows, depends on your mood.
  • For a woman, it's how he looks at her, how he makes her feel, because she always remember.
  • For a man, we're more visual in Our certain ways.
  • We covet what we see, and the more we like it, the more we like it.
  • There have been times in my life when I've gotten into an argument.
  • I recall one time, many, many years ago, I got into an argument, and an ex got on my damn nerves, and I said, you know what?
  • Go home.
  • Call her a car service, take her home.
  • She was pouting, she walked.
  • She walked into the bedroom.
  • When she walked into the bedroom, Her figure was sticking out in a very voluptuous and entertaining way.
  • And you know what I said to her when I saw that?
  • I said, can you come here, please?
  • I said, what we were arguing about, it's really not that important.
  • It's really not that important.
  • Forget all that stuff that I said.
  • It ain't even that important no more.
  • It's not that important, my bad, my bad, I'm sorry.
  • Because I knew I was going to want her when I saw her.
  • See what I'm saying?
  • What I'm saying to you is this.
  • That's lust.
  • Lust and love and all of that stuff, in terms of your desire for somebody, it ebbs and flows.
  • But you know what should never ebb and flow?
  • Your core decency when it comes to your treatment of her.
  • You can get in arguments and curse out.
  • She gonna get in arguments and curse you out.
  • Lord knows you're calling each other stuff that can't be repeated, especially for FCC airways.
  • That stuff happens in relationships.
  • But the core of who you are, when it gets really, really thick, how you treat her matters.
  • And you know how you should treat her?
  • You should think about the women you love, Your mama, your sisters, your nieces, your daughter, stuff like that.
  • How would you want them treated?
  • Even if they could afford it, if they were out with a man and that man had it, you know you would want him to pick up, dig into his pocket, pull out of his wallet and pay for that meal.
  • Just as much as you would want him to get up and pull the chair out from her when she's standing up, push the chair in for her when she's sitting down, open that car door for her when she's getting in,
  • Close that car door once she's in.
  • It's called class.
  • It's called decency.
  • It's called etiquette.
  • It's called manhood.
  • Never deviate from that, no matter how they make you feel.
  • Because when you alone at home in the mirror, all you see is you, the best of you or the worst of you.
  • Now get on out of here.
