If you had a daughter or a loved one that's a woman like what would you do to prepare them
to like start dating men like what are some things you would do or tell them
to give them the proper tools mentally proper mental proper tools.
Well I think with a daughter I think and I've done work with kids I ain't never raised a girl but
it starts with the man she's watching how her daddy is moving and operating that's the type
of man that she's going to want however her daddy is operating every day if he's sweet to her talk
polite everything however he's moving that's the type of man she's going to be attracted to
I think yeah I was gonna if her daddy is sitting around at home all day every day and the mama
is working you know what type of man she's gonna get a man that sits at home while she's the one
going to work she's they're gonna emulate if they got a dad that's that's a workaholic she
gonna find a workaholic if they got a dad that's talking sweet to her that's what they're gonna
find them type of dudes I think it goes off the dad. So I guess I guess that's why you got these
ladies all over the place because they ain't got no dads in the crib. Well that's one of the biggest
issues in the black community and it starts when the kid is five months old six months old one two
three four five that's when it starts it's too late when they get in the teens it's too late.
But the question is what are you going to do to prepare them? So let me jump in on that real
quick Corey I want to I want to commend you I completely agree with that I got five girls man
five girls and two boys and what I know I my mom used to I'm not sure my mom somebody used to always
say or I heard a saying that a girl's first relationship is with a father their first
relationship is with their father and I can honestly say that that is true with my daughter.
So how do you prepare them you prepare them by being the man that they should aspire to be with
and then it comes from again to I'm an advocate of a two-parent household.
So their first relationship is with you as a father however their first example of how
how they should be or they should feel in the relationship is how they see you love their mother.
Those two things prepare them the nurturing the being a superhero the the carefulness
that individual relationship that that child has that little girl has from
infancy up to adolescence is the example that you're putting in front of them.
How they should be when they start to see themselves in their mother they start to see
how the role that their mother plays in the dynamic between the father and the mother and
that's how she understands the woman that she needs to be and I think those examples
are how you prepare your daughters. How I prepare my daughters as well is that when they became
teenagers when they got to the point where I knew there were going to be some male interactions
I kept it a hundred percent real with my daughters. I didn't sugarcoat anything I didn't
make anything seem like it was going to be hearts and rainbows when they first started
thinking about boyfriends and sex and I tried to tell them I said listen this is what it is
this is how the world is I want you to understand that I'm not with the first person I had sex with
but she felt just like you so I'm trying to let you know if you have any self-respect for yourself
you might as well wait. I did that all the way through high school so I got virgins mostly
through high school got to college I tried to tell them so a whole lot of women that thought they
that thought I loved them they thought we was gonna be together that I was with in college
not with none of them save yourself it took me 35 years to find who I was supposed to be with
I even went through a whole marriage and I didn't do it right so I give them real life examples
I tell them at 16 years old don't no boy love you a boy love what he ain't experienced well that's
that's all he's trying to get to and that's the truth now if you if you want to give that
understand you're giving that and there's nothing in return that you can get that's gonna be good
nothing the pleasure ain't worth it the satisfaction ain't worth it the smiles the
giggles none of that's worth it so I give my daughters the harsh reality and I think they
respect me for it what I also love about the fact that that I've been that way with my daughters
is that they can come talk to me all of my daughters have came and talked to me about
their first boyfriends their situations they've asked me advice and I tell them I didn't get
about nothing yeah so my thing is being honest being upfront can you tough on the outside but
you cotton candy on the inside you know that they don't know that they don't know that though
yeah but okay so I hear what y'all had to say but what about structure when it comes to dating
what about structure they should be looking for when it comes to how the man is you know setting
his life well that's the what about that's right up from one up until eight to twelve that's the
build-up so by the time she gets in the teens she kind of already kind of got it down pat because
you've been building it up over the years so by the time she doesn't I got you that still doesn't
teach you how to date what to look for right specifically what are the red flags um you
get what I'm saying like it's still yes it does and it still gets deeper than just looking at
what your parents are doing right so not really so what they did hold on what they did was laid
first now once you become of age of dating now you got to switch your parenting style from
a father to a mentor or coach like Kim was saying men only want one thing from the job
and after that it's up to you to provide more than that that's what I tell my daughter straight up and
down when a man looks at you and he's attracted to you he wants sex the same thing you look at him
when you look at a man you find him attractive you saying yourself I can see myself having sex
and that's just it it is what it is now let my daughter know these are normal feelings
to want to have sex with somebody to attract to that's wrong first and foremost because I don't
want my daughter to feel weird because you know or feel bad because she finds somebody attractive
we can't control who we're attracted to when you turn around and lock eyes with somebody you can't
turn it on and off if you're attracted so we get that out the way first that feeling is normal
it's natural the second thing I teach I try to teach because the daughter gotta listen to
but what I try to teach is action speaks louder than words women love to women fall in love with
words men fall in love with what we see I let them know out the gate a man we're hunters we're
the predator you're the prey we're gonna say we're gonna do we're gonna we're gonna keep going until
we get what we want I said it's up to you to protect yourself a man can say all he want and
it can sound as good as it's I mean it could just sound like you know sweet music from heaven but
if a man ain't walking that walk like you talking that talk beware as far as the sex I can't say it
wait they're not gonna listen though they got to go out there and bump their head but we still
we still man the seeds regardless because when they get out there and see that what we said was
true then they'll turn around and they'll turn around faster than they will if we didn't ever
give them the game right because they'll see the red flags early you set the foundation I've had
my kids come back and tell me dad you were right dad you were right dad you were right because we
just we give them the game we give them the game give them they think we old and stupid but we give
them the game and then they'd be like yeah yeah yeah and then they go out then they'd be like
dog he was right he was right everything you said he was right let me let me tell you why
that's really important you know the reason why that's important is the reason why I give my
daughters the truth is because when girls get out there and they get into these emotional situations
it's always the unknown it's the question mark does he like me does he really want me does he
does he is he gonna call me does he is he messing with somebody else a little boy and even some men
will never answer that question truthfully I give them the truth up front you ain't got a you ain't
got a question does this boy really like me or he just no he don't really like you he just want
to have sex is he gonna be faithful no he's not he just want to have sex um is he gonna be with
me forever no he's not gonna be with you forever the reason why I give them the truth is because
as they when they become grown right now you can make your decision based on the truth
if you want to control that situation say okay well I just want to have sex I ain't going to
be emotionally attached to this now it's your choice of what you're doing I don't ever want
my daughters and even though you can't prevent it I don't want them to be in a heartbreak situation
if my daughters get their heart broken it surely won't be for my lack of telling the truth in
front of them right I tell my daughters this too I let them know about their nature
women love an experience this is why women will sleep with kooky uh you know I'm saying future
type guys they love an experience they'll jump on the yacht they'll take they'll go on a date
with you they're not attracted to you you know I'm saying they love an experience yeah and
because they love the experience I feel like no matter how great of a parent you are they
don't throw that most of that out the window for that experience like that's why you give them the
guy from what I've seen women they live and die by the experience until they get in their 30s and
then they're like all right now I'm gonna listen to what my dad said and it's like it's too late
but joy that's why I give them the game because I know she's gonna run over their lights
but if you give if you drop those seeds or she does run that red light step in that room and
try to have an experience and she sees something off it'll click what she what was told to her
and then it's up to her at that point whether she's gonna listen to the words that was given
to her or run that red light I would rather arm them with the information because a woman gonna
do what they're gonna do period that's why I never been the guy with the shotgun at the
dance I don't like you can't do that nowadays man you're gonna get a case
I'm just saying but still it's those dads too they got it's like dude
if you lay out the foundation you won't need a shotgun right you know it's those yo
but your daughter's got a lesson too though like like Joey said your daughter got a lesson you
give her all the game you want if she want to give it up if she want to throw them legs in
exactly oh oh oh yeah you can go on a yacht girl all you gotta do is xyz
yeah I ain't never been on a yacht well I apologize I was a little distracted but
let me throw something else in there too bro I think this is very important so I'm never
my biggest thing was I don't ever want and I'll be honest with you um there have been a lot of
girls that I've gotten with let's just call it hooked up with that's what they call it nowadays
hooked up with and because they their self-esteem was low because I could bring value to them and
do things for them that they couldn't do they couldn't get done anywhere else right so what
I do with my daughters is I make sure that I got them so there's nothing that a dude can come and
entice them with that they can't get from me so anybody that they deal with gonna have to outdo
me it's crazy so I think that sets the standard as well right you see what I'm saying a lot of
men out there they play they play yeah they play they play prey on the insecurities they play on
what these women can't do and can't can't have it can't get so to have have a present father and
a father that cares and loves it's hard like bro I ain't gonna trip it was some chicks that I was
trying to get with when I found out your daddy got everything taking what what am I gonna do
all I could do is give you this d you know what I'm saying but it don't go so long you know what
I'm saying it's another thing Cam I told my daughters hold this one you are a walking brand
how you dress and how you act men are gonna size you up and they don't go for the kill
so if you're out here dressed a certain way if you're out here silly you know what I'm saying
just silly when a guy see a silly chick he don't look he don't think about nothing serious
he's thinking about one thing one thing only what she's useful for
there's no silly chick there's no silly chick you taking serious because you know you don't
want a silly chick by your side a goofy chick a chick that's always giggling and I always want
to party so I tell my daughter you could you're gonna do what you're gonna do but just know
if you if you're gonna be a walking brand and you uh put yourself out there in a certain way
these are the outcomes that you're gonna get man I don't know how y'all do it as
fathers man being being a father to a lady man it's tough man because it's like you know she's
gonna be naive to certain things and you can't be there to always save her man I don't I don't
know how I would be able to handle that man I don't know how y'all handle that's crazy it's tough
you know that's like that's like you being worth two million dollars and you're all your money's
on the line like I ain't gonna sleep like all my money's on the line 24 7 I can't sleep now
that's how I felt that's how I would feel about you know my daughter if I had one
I don't know how y'all do it man you know I think honestly too bro um I think I think my daughter's
respected I've always told them who I who I am as a father who I was as a man you know I mean
and they they can look at that and you know I I got a whole lot under my belt and I try to let
them know is that like I was savvy I understood I talked I played the game I you need to you need
to stay stay away from that because most of those little girls they lost something pause let me not
let me say that again most of those women they gave up they gave a part of their their selves
right and do you want to be that statistic what what what's your value like what's your brand
right so I think they could respect the reality of it and I think that um the way that I sleep at
night is that I know I know I put them out there with armor you know what I'm saying they they
all savvy they all understand they all have the truth and if you go sideways you know they got
their power pepper spray and they know how to shoot so you know I sleep pretty well at night
right even if even if my kids like you said my daughters go sideways they still arm with
the information to correct course and I just go down the rabbit hole I have six kids by four
different men you know I'm saying yeah nowadays have six kids by seven different men you know
all right man Corey explain it
