I no longer abide by that after finding out most of my friends are jerks. If they can't look after themselves, they should move back with their parents. I'm all about the ladies.
I'll always come back for 'ya KC. ^-^ I'm kinda buzy late. I'm saving up money to shoot a film, go to Thailand, and I've started livng on the road.
Okay... I was gonna say if you're with the right person it shouldn't be an issue. Because they are your friend as well and anyone that has a problem with anyone you care about, that's their deal. There is time for everyone.
Eh, I just follow my heart. It usually tells me to go several ways at once. If I followed my brain I'd be pretty confused.
I try to mesh the two. It doesn't work well. I've had periods where I followed one more then the other- a period of my life where I followed my heart almost exclusively and I got hurt really bad and the reliance on the heart was part of the blame... so I toughed up and followed only my brain for a few years.... the result? Safety, but not happiness and a loss of the soul. I'm ready not to life an authentic life and hope I have enough wisdom to do so because I'm jumping in.
Before we got married, my DH definitely believed in the "bros before hos" philosophy. After a while though, He started to realize that his friends were idiots. They may have tried to be good friends to him, but they were always more worried about what was gonna get them fucked up faster, rather than possible consequences, or whether it was in their "friend's" best interest. So he's kinda realized the statement is idiotic. Plus he realized that his friends aren't the ones he has to sleep next to after spouting that remark. Just kidding. But whether it's "just an expression" or not, it's not really ever a great idea to refer to your g/f as a ho in mixed company.
You’re right most women are not ho’s. And any guy who would call his squeeze a ho, is more reflective of his secret inner hatred of women (more specifically his mother) than anything else Hotwater
my boyfriend told me he believed in that mantra not long after we started going out and i nodded and smiled but i thought he was naive at the time. (he didnt say bros before hos tho, he said mates before dates) now he sees the error in his thinking
Much nicer way of putting it. And while I agree that obviously not all women are hos, this phrase has kinda been appropriated. It's no longer only used in reference to "hos", but it seems to be used by any guy who wants to let his current squeeze know that his friends come first.
And what if they are both the same? Why this distinction? Anyone I'm gonna be with is gonna be a true friend.
