Rappers’ Top Ten Rules For Dating

I hate dating rules. People are not all the same and men should not do all the work or dictate the relationship.

But what are the top 10 rules for getting a man to keep coming back for more?

Rappers Am8er and Lil Kim have teamed up to let us all know what they think.

1. Never give him some on the first night

But why not? Obviously they think if you keep him at a distance he’ll want more and will keep trying, but what if you’re both really horny? Who cares? As long as it’s consensual go have fun!

2. Never bring your man around your crew

This one bothers me. I want my man to know my friends. I want them to get along. They can judge him and point out any problems I might be missing because of my hormone-induced coma. And if you have to hide a relationship from your friends, no matter how casual, that suggests to me that there is something very wrong with it.

3. Never call him first; let him call you

I completely disagree with this. Of course, don’t be pushy and harass the poor man, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with calling him first. This idea that a man doesn’t call you because he’s just not that into you is absurd. There are all kinds of things that could be preventing him from calling (he’s shy, he’s sick, he’s on holiday) and even if he is not that into you, but you call anyway, maybe you will be able to start the  most amazing relationship you’ve ever had that you would have missed out on if you’d followed this ridiculous rule.

4. Never let him know your every move

Of course we all deserve some privacy and time away from each other, that I can agree with. But also don’t hide things from him.

5. Never tell him about your past

This will depend on where you want the relationship to go and how much you like him. If you withhold parts of your past that looks suspicious, but you also don’t need to tell him absolutely everything all at once. Who you are and what you’ve done will come out as you get to know each other.

6. Never mix business with pleasure

I have no idea what they mean by this. Is it don’t date people you work with? Maybe, but maybe not. We spend so much  of our time at work if we passed up every opportunity we would miss out on a lot of good people. So long as you are both mature and there’s not too much of a power difference in your positions at work, I don’t see a problem. Just remember you might need a new job if it gets ugly.

7. Never move in unless he asks

Again, what’s with all these rules saying that the man has to dictate the relationship? Obviously the two of you need to agree to live together, but who says the woman can’t bring up the topic? If we waited for men to make all the moves in every relationship there would be a lot less couples cohabiting and married. Just because he doesn’t bring it up first doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to do it.

8. Never tell your friends about your bedroom

Again, this doesn’t have any meaning. Do they mean don’t tell them about your bedroom and how it’s decorated? Or what you do in it together? Talking about sex is fun and letting your friends know what’s going on (good or bad) is a great way to get advice.

9. Never let them know his shoe size

I’m sorry, but this one is just absurd.

10. Rule number 10 should have been rule number 1: ‘Cos If you give in on the first night, make sure you ride that thing

Why does it have to be giving in? Like she tried to resist but his manly powers wore her down. Sorry, no. Adult women are allowed to want to have sex and experience that with whoever they choose. Perhaps she wore him down! And of course, it’s great to have great sex, whether it’s the first time or the four hundredth.
