This is a long read. So pop some popcorn log off from your twitter and prepare to read

ps: the above pictured wonderful woman are not in any way related to this article..#disclaimer lol

WELCOME TO THE LOCKER ROOM. LADIES YALL BEEN WARNED..THIS IS GEARED TOWARDS MY FELLOWS OUT THERE WHOM SEEM TO WANT TO DATE A WOMAN BASED ON HER “CELEBRITY” AND NOT WHO SHE TRULY IS

I AM NO FANBOY, I BEEN DOWN THE ROAD ENOUGH TO KNOW KID, LOL. I DONT KISS AND TELL SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND DON’T BELIEVE ME..GOOD..IT MEANS YOU SEEK MY VALIDATION

ANYWAY :0)

……READY?? TAKE A DEEP BREATH…NOW LETS GO PEOPLE….

***********TOP 5 REASONS NOT TO DATE A CELEBRITY**************

1) BACKSEAT DRIVER.

-You will never be first–EVER. There will always be an interview before you, a tour date before you, a nightclub appearance before you..etc

-Expect to be chauffeured on her time (or his time for the female readers out there). You are a BACKSEAT DRIVER to her schedule..get used to it. Complain and she will simply list the millions of other things she could be doing..and you can bet your whiskers she is RIGHT….GOOGLE “CELEBRITY TOUR RIDERS” AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN

2) ALPHA PROOFING

-Fellas, a little man-talk 101…

In order to date ANY woman of high caliber or status..YOU MUST BE HIGHLY SOCIALISED. Well-traveled, roll with high status friends/network (teachers, hospital administrators, lawyers, even publicists, high profile marketing professionals)

And you MUST be a bit of a BAD BOY (not saying you need to get shot 31 times or indicted for securities fraud lol). I mean adding edge to her outlandishly extravagant life..call her head big and tease her. Take her to Nathans or Six flags Great Adventures on an odd day…sky dive with masks on to avoid the paparazzi’s

-You must be an alpha male of all alphas, able to HUMANIZE HER EVERY CHANCE YOU GET!!! HER FANS THINK SHE IS LARGER THAN LIFE ITSELF..IMAGINE THE PRESSURE! lol.

(SIDEBAR: I believe I just had a flash of anger at those folks who sadly make gods out of CELEBRITIES. sad to say the least really–#fail.)
4) EGO

-You checked your ego at the door since you drove your first truck, took your first bar exam, finish plumbing your first house or closed your first big client. NOW ITS YOUR TURN TO CHECK HER EGO

GOOD LUCK PAL!! Not to say all celebrities have egos but you cannot  BE THREATENED if she does have an ego the size of Texas

You see, you cannot be THREATENED by:

*the supermodel males on her video shoot

*your favorite NBA NHL NFL MLB athletes making LIGHT FLIRTY chit-chat with her at benefit concerts or food drives

*the eager international media sites who follow her every move- TMZ, bossip, popcrunch, Perez Hilton, SOHH..endless!

*or even her judgmental friends..who will try to weigh your worth from the car you drive to the house you bought.  NOT SAYING ALL CELEBRITIES ARE LIKE THIS..but I refuse to sugar-coat it.

This article is for the 9 to 5er Joes out there (or Sallys out there aka my female readers)

On to numero cinco FOR WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE A CELEBRITY!!……

5) TRUST

-Now I know you were expecting to see jealousy, money, groupies..but ALL OF THOSE THINGS are directly related to trust.

Let me explain…..

Any relationship must have trust as the glue to bond so many pieces of what makes a relationship work: TRUST that you will not expose your lovers secrets…TRUST that you wont splurge on his/her credit card..TRUST that she will not take up some 6-foot tall supermodel on his offer to go to Paris for the weekend. TRUST that you will both take care of the mortgage and expenditures of the household (if it even gets to that point)

-SHE ALSO TRUSTS THAT YOU WILL try to develop a relationship based on her character, not her stardom

Again, try to develop a relationship based on the character, not the stardom.

-TRUST that with your 80 followers on twitter and her 500,000 followers, you will not talk about your dates, excursions or any other juicy gossip. IN FACT…DONT EVEN FOLLOW THEM OR REQUEST THEM ON ANY SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE.

Trust me that you instantly lose cool points by doing so UNLESS you have an equal amount of social proofing to back up your online presence. IS IT THAT SERIOUS? YES..ABSOLUTELY! Name one NON FAMOUS person who has dated another famous person from a friendly myspace, blackplanet, twitter, bebo or facebook message..EXACTLY!!

CONCLUSION: Fellas (and my female readers out there who have snuck into this locker room lol) dating someone for their stardom is the lowest form of validation around...SO DONT DATE CELEBRITIES..DATE PEOPLE!! celebrities=people who must be dated following certain rules.

i know…rules suck..but I invite you to even make it to the ego issue..find out how hard it is and see if you love or like the person enough to stick around. besides, if you dont like them for who they are (which I did but just didnt trust the CELEBRITY i was courting :) ) then WHY EVEN DATE THEM?

PEACE guys
