It’s Not Tricking If You Got It…
…or is it?
My people, I come here today to proclaim that KING Magazine is the African-American focused men’s magazine equivalent to Dr. Martin Luther King. Before anyone gets offended, think about it: Nothing brings more men together of different race, creed or background than the appreciation of hot chicks in little-to-no clothing. NOTHING. Not even free food.
So since we’re a proud group of tang appreciators here at KING-Mag.com, I must ask a question to my brethren. Ladies are also welcome to offer their input, too. That question is: How true is the statement “It ain’t tricking if you got it?”
I, for one, am fundamentally opposed to most forms of tricking. Spending money unnecessarily for the right to meet someone or lure them into bed is never good. Let me explain why:
* First off, it makes you look like a sucker from the jump. For one, you already let her know that you want what she has, to the point that you’re trying to win favor. Basically, you’ve all but given up control of the situation, unless she’s already that into the way you look.
* Second, she has done NOTHING to deserve a free drink. I see nothing wrong with buying a woman a drink who is interesting, and whose company I truly enjoy. She has earned it, so it’s like buying a drink for one of your boys. If all she brings to the table is her looks, or we haven’t even exchanged names yet, then I’ll be damned if I’m giving her anything.
* Third, you are raising the price of pussy when you go overboard with lavish gifts for acts most chicks will do for free. Women talk, you know…Soon, the ones that equate their vagina to dollar signs will want more and more in return for their affections, and those of you who do partake in tricking will see the impact in your wallets, just like at the
gas pump. Stop gassing ‘em up so much, and maintain the proper balance to avoid a recession.
* Finally, there are more original ways to start a conversation. If the best approach you can come up with is “So what’chu drinking?” It might be a long night for you…I say this, because someone with the gift of gab may come and take that chick from you, for the price of FREE. Observe this example from last Friday…
I went to the bar over near where I live, and there was a 40-something Ethiopian man in there, with a young lady who could be no more than 21 years old. As the night progressed, I held court, keeping folks at the bar laughing and telling everyone about my comedy site, www.ListenToLeon.net.
*SHAMELESS SELF-PROMO TIME* That’s right, www.ListenToLeon.net, Best Humor Blog winner in the 2006 and 2008 Black Weblog Awards *END OF SHAMELESS SELF-PROMO*
Every now and then, the older fellow would try to sweet talk the young girl, and soon afterward, she’d give me a compliment, or smile my way whenever he’d start talking to someone else. She was hot, but I felt kind of bad about the fact that I considered taking her from him, since he was older and friendly…
“But OOOOOOH, NOT THAT BAD!” - The Dream, 2007
When I overheard him trying to convince her to quit her job and fly to Vegas with him, I had to truly think about the tricking question. In most cases, this would be a GROSS violation. Then again, I think there should be exceptions for older dudes sometimes. If you’re at a certain point in life, you should be allowed to partake in young trophy vagina every now and then. You’re paying for it, but they have to do ungodly acts with an old naked man…so it balances out.
The funny thing is, the young chick hollered at me later that night, and told me that was her “friend.” So you see, the same end result can potentially be had whether you’re talking about taking the same pretty girl to Vegas, or three blocks up the street to your apartment.
Now, it’s your turn to chime in. Let me know what you think about the phrase “It ain’t tricking if you got it”

if you truly “got it” then you wouldn’t need shit to “get it”. if your game/swag was that slick then the panties would drop regardless

I think personally some guys live by the motto “by any means nessecary”.but those certain guys tend to have a low self esteem cuz most independent ladies u don’t have to buy or give them much except.companionship

I’m definitely not paying to have a conversation with a woman. It trips me out tho how many “independent women” always seem to have the hand out looking for freebies

Lames make me sick. I was raised so diffrent from this new generation of weak ass wanksters. I let my chain talk. I let my car talk. Check my footwork. In other words get your game right. Check your swag and stop paying these chicks snd fooling your self that you a pimp. These news niggers sponsering random chicks that we hit in middle school. What part of the game is that?

Paper Pimps taint the game, and make it bad for everyone.
Now women judge a brother on his assets,not his intellect.
I have no respect for these ’steak daddies’.
Always leading with their wallets. It’s pathetic.

If you pay for it… Then you are a Trick. Because that is the meaning of it. Hands down. No matter how much money you have. In Thailand it cost $5 to get in some fine and pretty chick. But I never pay. I just talked her back to my hotel and handled it.

Like Snoop Dogg Said:
“But trickin ain’t the route (route), that’s even if you got it
There’s a method to you holdin it when they can’t do without it
Just put the key up in it nigga if she ’bout it
You can have her and her partner, fuckin with it for a dolla
If she a balla, she gon’ ride with a shot caller”

It is tricking even if you do “got it”. As a female nothing is less attractive than when a man flashes his wallet thinking she is supposed to jump on him because of it.I am ired of guys thinking they can buy us, how about u take ur tired ass to an escort service if thats the case, and leave us self-respecting women alone, cuz lots of us have our own money, own car and own house, and can do for ourselves just fine.

I Miss You Guys | Yeah...I said it says:
[…] The introduction of my new column at a brand-new site launching very soon. That, and more Fine Sh*terature. I have decided to devote the King column to writings about the manliest of thoughts that enter my head, as evidenced by my last entry over there. It’s like getting a blender and mixing creatine, 100-proof Wild Turkey, Steel Reserve, 151, beef jerkey, chewing tobacco and Brut Faberge after shave. Then take that God-awful concoction, serve it to a bar full of Hell’s Angels bikers, and single handedly fight your way to the front door after they attempt to drink it. It doesn’t get much manlier than that. If you let your five year-old child read it, don’t be suprised if he walks in the kitchen for breakfast that next morning with a hairy chest and a toothpick in his mouth, insisting that you take back that punk-assed bowl of Fruity Pebbles and fix him up a steak, medium-well. That’s how much testoterone will be flying around Fine Sh*terature! The new column will be a little more universal, and less prone to incite riots at biker taverns. […]

I agree with the statement, it aint tricking if you got it. Nothing is free in this world so why would you purposely date a man that can’t give you anything. Men you should know that you got to wine and dine a lady before you get any of the goods.
