Good Morning Gentlemen, Today I’m going to discuss Image…. The one we project either publicly or in the social media arena
Without a doubt that men are visual creatures, we see a woman who we deem as attractive and we move. Her character, intelligence, or personality means little at this point… what we see is what we want!!!
So??? What’s the problem????? The problem is social networking is forcing some women to project images of themselves that isn’t reflective of who they are. You’ve seen the bootie shots, the cat suits, tattoos proudly displayed on cleavage and the like. What image is conjured up mentally when you see what may be a nice woman who’s made a bad decision about what image she’s going to project ??? HOOOCHIE.. that’s what you’re thinking.
Sex is on display with a big “for sale” sign on social media… MySpace, black planet and the like died b/c of this mentality of both men and women. Being comfortable in your skin and your sexuality is one thing… Displaying it on social media is something else..
Women don’t want to be called “HOE” yet the image that SOME project is just that. I take no issue with that, however, if you project “hoe” then expect that men will treat you as such. The same holds true for men. One cannot project one image and expect women will see something else in you. When you try to dress like a hip hop star then women naturally will assume you’re a thug…. Some men don’t mind this
This is more than the superficial of appearance… It’s a mindset in the culture that says “I’m just expressing myself”… kiddies, it’s time to grow up and leave the things of children behind. The old guy in the club is pathetic… but he’s just as pathetic as the maturing woman trying to relive her 20’s
People get frustrated by the types of people they attract.. There is wanted and unwanted attention. Just realize that the image you’re projecting may be the reason you’re attracting unwanted attention.
As you step out this morning project confidence… project style…. Project intelligence and women of character and standard will notice… Project the opposite and what you get is what you deserve..
For the record I don’t endorse treating women like trash, however, those women never get close enough to me for it to become an issue…
You’re image does mean something.. Garner it with a certain degree of respectability.

I agree wholeheartedly with this post. Even as a teen this image shouldn't be portrayed by young women. This is done when we feel that we have nothing else to offer and sadly if this mentality is maintained it reflects in a grown woman's persona of herself via back shot profile pictures on social networking sites. I think the solution is if more like minded individuals with class and character stepped up to the plate and mentored some of these young women and men. Just because they are not privileged to have been born to parents with sense doesn't mean they should be left by the waste side.
