Are Hoes Really Out Here Winning?

I think before we tackle the question at hand I think we must first define the affectionate term hoe. I will add the declaimer that this term can have different meanings to different people and that both men and women can be hoes, however bc I refuse to be a man basher I will only focus on women. I personally do not think the number of partners you have automatically deem you a hoe, I do, however believe the quality and circumstances in which you find these partners can make you a hoe. As a woman, I believe that some of my female counterparts have NO respect for the gift God has given them. They are willing to give into everyman they meet: married, single, whatever. Additionally i think age plays a large factor. To be promiscuous at the ages of 18-23 is called being misguided and experimenting with your sexuality, but to proudly call yourself a buss it baby and to willingly be a side piece at 25+ gets a HUGE side eye from me.  You obviously are lonely and have no love for yourself. At some point the sleeping around gets lonely. 
I know this from personal experience. It's coo to believe you can sleep with any man you want, I mean men aren't complicated creatures when it comes to sex, but do you honestly want to hold yourself to such low standards?I became fed up with the promiscuity at 22. I will say sleeping around does have its thrills, but after a while sex becomes just sex. Even good sex starts to become meaningless and less than enticing. I always prided myself in being able to separate sex from love but after a while I wanted my sex to be an expression of love. Unfortunately you can not do that if you're sleeping around. It comes back to a saying me and my bff coined "Its not about who your fucking, it's about who's waking up and going to bed with you every night. It's about who will consistently be there thru the good and bad ". The probability of finding that while sleeping w 2 or 3 men is slim to none, so I decided that I would take on a self imposed "celibacy". I place it in quotations bc sometimes you need that ole thang back. I basically decided I wasn't going to have any more partners until I found someone who could possibly fulfill the requirements of being there during the day and night. Me doing this came to a shock to several of my friends. However, it wasn't difficult. I just decided to put my energy into other things including me,myself and I. When I did stumble upon someone who could take on that day and night job, I made the choice to put energy into that. It has paid off pretty well. I won't lie and say that my life is rainbows and butterflies now or that temptation doesn't still present itself, but what I will say is that I am in the learning process of understanding self control. I think it has to do with knowing your worth. When you know what you deserve, you refuse to lower your self worth. That holds true whether your single, dating, or in a relationship. So back to the original question...are hoes really out here winning? In my opinion definitely not. Former free spirits may be winning, hoes always find themselves on the losing and lonely side.

  1. This blog is very interesting to me and i wish you had went a little more in depth with it as it is a great topic. "To be promiscuous at the ages of 18-23 is called being misguided and experimenting with your sexuality, but to proudly call yourself a buss it baby and to willingly be a side piece at 25+ gets a HUGE side eye from me"..this statement says a lot. I believe the older you get promiscuity(sp) is looked at differently. Not to excuse it but really at 30+ who going to check you on who you lay down with. Does the age make you any less a whore...of course not but at that age business is handled differently. Are there self-esteem issue if you lower your standards in such a manner..definitely. Good topic!
