It Ain’t Trickin’ If It’s Worth It

At this point in our lives, most of us have come to realize that you have to spend a little to date successfully in the modern world. Be it on drinks, dinner, or the occasional hotel stay, even the most prolific players have come out of pocket at one time or another. It’s a part of the game, just as sure and essential as the 3 point shot in Lebron’s league.
That is, unless you favor hoodrats. If that’s the case, all you need is fifth of something dark and a (relatively) unoccupied space to go to town all over that tattooed, aspiring shake’em-club ass. Even then however, at some point (hopefully) in your own personal growth the quality of your female company will improve, and when it does, be prepared to pay for more than her two-piece at Popeye’s. It’s a necessary evil, and we all have to spend, but we don’t all have to trick.

Tricking right now is an epidemic, seen everywhere from the aforementioned shake’em clubs where pseudo ballers make it rain for the women on the clock, to the infamous Plies line as heard on 106 & Park: “Soon as I seen shorty, told her I’ll pay for it”. Shit is outta hand. Where I come from tricking is described as spending money you don’t really have- usually to bag a bitch, but not always- on shit you don’t need. Like for instance, getting a room for the type woman who was perfectly willing to do the damn thang in the backseat of your bucket. Classy.

So, you ask, when is it tricking and when is it just a necessary evil? Good question, glad you brought it up. Let’s say you’re D. Wade, and you’re in some random NBA town, away from your wife, and some random model is throwing it at you. If you feel so inclined as to give that model a couple thousand in hush money after you do what you do, clearly that isn’t tricking. One, because you got it (and a lot more), and two because if you didn’t you open yourself up to a whole world of liability. Just ask Kobe. But you’re not D’Wayne, or Kobe, or Diddy. You can’t quite live by the same standards regardless of what level you see yourself on financially. For you, tricking could be as simple as stunting gone wrong: when you could have looked bossy buying a shot of Louie XII but instead opted to grab that bottle of pink. Yeah, you may have closed the deal, but now you’re forced to eat ramen for a week.

There is only one circumstance when tricking isn’t tricking: when it’s worth it. If the experience to be had is worth the cost of doing business, then by all means go forth. Example: you happen to be a guy who looks more like an actual gorilla than any member of G-Unit but you’ve got a 36-24-42 model type giving you some rhythm. You might just wanna go ahead and get that room, the bottle and whatever else because this could either be the start of your new life or a once in a lifetime opportunity. In any case, the value of the experience is clear. If you can see yourself with your latest conquest longer than a week, a year, a decade; by all means my brother, whatever you plan to spend to impress this woman is justified and therefore isn’t tricking, but an investment. Now if you can’t see yourself with her when you wake up tomorrow then you shouldn’t spend anything more than you have to, i.e. condoms, fast food, etc. If she ain’t you’re wife and don’t have the credentials to one day be wife, its tricking… Unless you’re in Brazil, then it’s just fun. But again, it’s the experience…

I guess that’s what it comes down to in the end. The potential of the woman you’re splurging on and the quality of the experience to be had. That, in a nutshell are the only factors that could ever make tricking off your hard earned dollars even remotely worth it.

And FYI, if a woman you’ve never been intimate with asks if you want to go to the mall with her on your first outing together, the answer is always no.
