So you want to be a pimp do you? This process isn't as hard as you might think it is but neither is the road to pimpdom easy. We must learn from our elders, Bruce Lee, Richard Roundtree (Shaft), Ron O'Neal(Superfly). What we must learn is the number one rule to being a pimp.
1)Stay cool Man.
The key to being a pimp is to sit there and shut up. The man of few words always ends up looking
tougher, and therfore more of a pimp than the person who is running their mouth off. Case and point
Michael Jordon -vs- Gary Payton. Who has more respect in the NBA? Mike does. Who is a better
player? Mike is. Who wins championships? Mike does. Who has a cooler nickname? That's a toss-up
While "His Airness" is a pretty good nickname, "The Glove" is cool. Mike is quiet, not because
he doesn't have a lot to say, it's just that Mike KNOWS pimp rule number two.
2)Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
If you talk all day about how you can get women and kick peoples asses, you are just hyping yourself
out to be what you arent. I don't care if you think you CAN get all the women in the world,
the more you talk about it, the more people hear it, and when you do get a girl, or kick
someones ass(Which is NOT a pimp move, see rule #7), people will be let down, because what you
say leaves marks in peoples minds. If you say nothing, and day after day people see you bringing
girls back to your place, or if some Nazis are picking on a gay guy, jewish person, afro-american,
and you step up to help him, THEN you look like a pimp. Personally, the people that talk about
kicking ass and getting girls are the ones I least respect.
3)Dress To Impress, ALWAYS.
There are very few people who are going to be able to score girls in a pair of sweat pants and a
set of Garfield slippers. Maybe a little more people can get a girl in a pair of baggy crack
showing jeans, and a starter jacket, but I think that it is universally accepted that, both
of those styles of dress are not appealing to women. While I cant exactly tell you what to buy
I can guide you in HOW to buy. Here is something I would avoid: Owning clothes of all the same
brand. I am sort of guilty in this. I own a LOT of Ralph Lauren:POLO clothes. I mean a lot. There
is a reason to it though. Back when I wasn't a pimp, I was asked one day in school "Do you
only have 3 shirts?". That comment hurt me a lot. I mean, here I was, just trying to be chummy
and a woman dogs me. So I vowed that never again would I let someone rip on my clothes. But I
didnt go buy Polo because it was Polo, I bought Polo because I like the quality of the clothing.
I own shirts from many different companies, and out of all of them, the R.L Polo is by FAR the
longest lasting as far as color staying, and cloth durability. Anyways, here is how to shop, and
how NOT to shop. I am not a big fan of jeans, and I'll tell you why not. I feel that one should
always be able to go out to dinner in what they are wearing, barring sports dress. That is why
I only own one pair of jeans. Jeans are O.K when you are hanging out with your boys, but a true
pimp always has a pair of Khakis, Slacks, or Cords on. Here is another fashion no-no. T-Shirts.
Unless you are built like a stallion, you just aren't going to get away with wearing a T-Shirt.
Instead, pick up a button-up oxford, or button up short sleeve shirt. Wear a nice rugby shirt
(No numbers on the back PLEASE), or MAYBE a henley, but don't over indulge in those, they are
more of a playtime shirt. Some pimps prefer to wear jewelry, but I don't. I don't like jewelry
because I feel that it is effeminate. Perhaps it's a personal preference thing, but I wouldn't
like my girlfriend asking me if she could borrow my earrings. Shoes are also a very important
part of being a pimp. I will admit I break this next rule a LOT, but then again, I don't have to
be an A+ pimp, since I have a girlfriend. DO NOT WEAR TENNIS SHOES WITH KHAKIS. It is a HUGE
no-no, and the type of girl a pimp wants is someone who DOES recognize everything, down to the shoes.
My parting words are this: Never buy clothes that your girlfriend likes. She is trying to
customize you to her tastes, and that is a no-no. It is better to dress to your tastes, because
you know what you like, and a true pimp listens to no one.
5)Speak Well
Nothing will have your degree in pimpology taken away quicker than poor english. I live in
Minnesota right now. I'll tell you something, Minnesota is VERY low on pimps. People say such
abhorrent things as "Borrow me a dollar"(yikes!) and "Aint no such thing" and "Gimme a dollar,hey"
I want to gather them up and put them in third grade again. I won't go over the logistics as
to why those phrases are wrong, just TRUST me, they are, truly. So you say "Matt, D.O.P"(Doctor
Of Pimpology), "I have shit hole grammer, how can I be learned?". Here's how. Watch T.V. That's
right. No one speaks poorly on T.V except perhaps the people on Hee-Haw, and a pimp wouldnt
be watching TNN anyways.
6)If You're Not Funny, Shut up.
I am a very funny guy. Period. Im not being cocky, or lying to you. I am funny, I am witty, and
I am looked at for these qualities because I know what is funny and what isn't. If you don't
have this quality,then don't make jokes. No one likes someone that doesnt know when the joke is
over, I look at it like this: It's like the Me too way of speaking. If someone makes a good snap,
if you are prepared, make yours. Yours in the "Me Too" that makes sense, "Me Three" doesn't rarely
will the third person attempting to make a funny get anything but a polite laugh. Look for
the right times to make a joke. If you are on a first date, make fun of your date. I don't mean
"Bitch, that a weave you got in?" that is plain mean. "I mean something like an inside joke. Make
a humorous passing comment on a story they told that is relevant to something happening. It's
hard to explain. If you cannot understand the intricacies of it, don't do it, more than not
it will get you in trouble.
7)Girls HATE fighting.
I have yet to meet a girl that thought fighting was cool. It is better not to fight than to
mix it up. If you absolutely have to , don't tell your girlfriend, it will only piss her off.
In the 1860's, I'm sure that fighting was romantic, but now it looks like you are an inner
city punk, and we all know, that punk and pimp just don't mix.
