Gold Digger or Scrub

[Jim Neusom]

Greetings Family,
(Contact Information At The Bottom Of The Page)

It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again...smile

BlackPlanet.com is arguable the largest Black social networking site on the Net. Before the social networking craze kicked off on MySpace, BlackPlanet was essentially the BET of the Internet.

Lately they have stepped up their game over at BlackPlanet, filling their home page with informative and entertaining content from their online partners, NewsOne and HelloBeautiful.

I’m impressed with the changes…I’ve been a member since 2005 and find the new look and content well worth the wait. I’ve always complained about BlackPlanet being white owned, but now with the $38 Million dollar purchase by Kathy Hughes’s Radio One, BlackPlanet has morphed into a true portal with over 18 million subscribers.

Below is a small sample of the entertaining, and socially relevant content, you’ll find on BlackPlanet. I recommend you click on the links below, and check out the celebrity slideshow of who is, and isn’t a Gold Digger or Scrub

Remember, We Must Share The Knowledge (Network)….To Share The Dollars!

Signs You’re A Gold Digger?

1. She asks you to buy her something or borrow money early on in the relationship.
Unless you are fine with the idea of paying for your sex and the company of this woman, this is a red flag.

2. She wears a long weave down her back, cakes on the make-up and doesn’t have a job.
This is probably controversial for a lot of people, but we need to throw the political correctness in the trash if we are talking about saving you money, embarrassment and extended headaches. Trust me; if she has a long fake weave down her back, sans the job, you should be “extra suspicious” of her intentions. If you must, make sure you put these types under several stress tests to determine if they’re genuine or not.

3. She never offers to pay and only says thank you occasionally…as if she’s entitled to your spending.
A man should pay for the first date and a thank you is necessary. In terms of indentifying diggers, a thank you after a small dinner means more than her going down on you when you get her back to the crib. If after several dates she has never offered to pay for anything, you should be suspicious.

4. She only wants to go to expensive restaurants.
After impressing her on the first or second date, take her to a few inexpensive places like Red Lobster and see how she reacts. If she reacts unappreciative or complains, she is either a digger, or may be too high maintenance. Don’t be a punk or weak for the panties and call the digger back. If you do, you may as well hire a dime quality call girl which will save you some money and more than a few migraine headaches in the long run.


How To Tell If Your Man Is A Scrub

1. He is in “transition.”
Sistas hate to hear that dreaded word, which translates to unemployed. If a man says he’s in “transition” then he has no job and more than likely can’t name a profession, skill or trade that he’s practiced for more than 3 years, consecutively. If he is an able body and free of felony convictions, he should be working, end of story.

2. He has no means of transportation.
Ladies, if the man has no car, this is more than likely his excuse for not having a job! This will also excuse his need to borrow your whip while you’re out working. If your man is driving your car around town from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., then he’s probably putting it down in intimate afterhours. Suggestion: Detach, somebody out there can do it better, and he may just have a job and a car.

3. He has trouble explaining/verifying his living situation.
If you’ve been seeing a guy for more than 90 days and you have yet to be invited his place, you have a bonafide live-in ex situation. Run. Or, if your dude is squatting at various family members pads and can hardly remember where he last left his toothbrush and toiletries, not only is he a scrub, he’s a scrub with no direction. Run fast.

4. He has several children with several women.
If your dude has more than two kids with more than two women, this is a problem. No child is a mistake, but these kind of slip-ups should only happen once, MAYBE twice. Otherwise, he’s reckless with his seed and you’d be foolish to try and venture down a path of longevity with him. Furthermore, a man with children should NOT have the time to be at your house all day and night, and you should encourage him to be with his babies by any means necessary.
