Groupie love?

Another interesting conversation on the ride to work today. I was talking about how fast girls are now adays in high school, and my carpool buddy, a self proclaimed high school basketball star, proceeded to tell me about how fast girls have apparently always been in high school. He told me about how girls (at his high school)would write notes, folded with condoms in them and sleep with the basketball players in all different areas of the school. Or how they went to a tournament, and the opposing school's players were having sex with much older women (30+) on the balcony of their hotel rooms all night long. He said it was because these women knew that these young men would eventually go to the league.

that got me thinking....

I always joke around. and say man if I had gone to Ohio State I might have had to mess with some football players. Or that if I met Common it would be on. But in real life, I have entirely too much self respect. Don't get me wrong, I would be flattered because these people showed interest, but at the end of the day I know that me sleeping with them would mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. and frankly I don't find it cool to brag about who I've slept with, these men wouldn't even remember me, and if we were in high school or college they would probably act like they didn't even know me anymore. Can we say embarrassing? I just gave you my cookies, and you don't know me? Sorry, hdizzle isn't down for that.

But alot of women are. Alot of women think its cool to sleep with someone because of their status. In my logical mind I cannot make sense of this. I can understand why you might want to have a baby with someone with status, because you'd be paid for life. I understand it, I don't condone it. Either way I think its foul. But having sex with someone famous, or with power, or with money, just cause? I can't wrap my mind around it.
Urban Dictionary defines a groupie as :

"A young woman, often under age, who seeks to achieve status by having sex with rock musicians, roadies, security, and other band-related guys" gq.com has an article about the Days and Nights of an NBA groupie. They define the groupies as such: The Gutter Groupies. These are the women who will wait outside the arena gates after a game and do anything, sometimes right there in the parking lot. If a player is feeling particularly chivalrous, he might let one service him in his Bentley. Gutter Groupies don't spring for airfare and hotel rooms for NBA All-Star weekend. They won't go that far to give a free blow job. The Working Girls. The most prevalent category. Working Girls will bang a player if the opportunity arises, yes, but they won't do just anything, and they don't wait in parking lots. "They're the ones reading In Style magazine but doing the Look for Less," Brenda says. They're mostly blue-collar, often from the hood, and more likely to be swept up by the "culture of the NBA"—which is to say, hip-hop—than by the actual game or the players. "They're notch-in-the-belt party girls," says Brenda, "who'd be happy with a fling with a bodyguard." She pauses. "Basically, this is their hobby. Working Girls have a helluva lot more fun." The Fly Girls. These are the women who are just classy enough to merit a second encounter with a player. They might even get a piece of jewelry or a ride on the team's private plane. To be a Fly Girl, you need to be toting real Louis Vuitton. "You also have to be really gorgeous," says Brenda. A great many Fly Girls are often in denial, she says. "They refuse to see themselves as groupies. They need All-Star rehab or something." **read the full article here: http://www.gq.com/sports/profiles/200606/nba-men-women-groupies** I think a groupie is just a misguided individual. I hate to judge. I've done my dirt too. But have some more worth. Having sex with someone just because they are a rapper, or a ball player, or a politician, will literally get you no where. I mean cool you can write a book about your sexapades, and yea we are all gonna read it, but guess what, none of us respect you. And do you know why? Because despite popular belief its not awesome to sleep with all the famous people and then talk about it. What's awesome is doing what you do, and keeping it to yourself. What's awesome is having enough respect for yourself to keep your naked pictures for someone who actually knows you, not someone you just met on facebook. What's awesome is knowing your worth, and choosing to be with someone who will remember your name in the morning, and call you next week!! Y'all do what you do. I don't know what the world is coming to. But all this excessive groupie love is starting to make me sick. I'm keeping my legs closed....
