Price Tag Dating

Good morning wonderful people of the internet community. Welcome back for another session with yours truly. I have so much to express about today’s topic that I decided to make it a two week series.

How many of you HONEST blog fanatics are guilty of price tag dating? I will be the first to admit to it. Is it so wrong? For those who are unaware of price tag dating, let me break it down. By definition (my definition of course), price tag dating is 1) the value of a person’s worth which can benefit you while dating; 2) involves the “popping tag” syndrome on the behalf of the other party; 3) dating someone for an economic advantage that will contribute to your social well being. (Note: Webster should definitely be paying me for these definitions) I actually have a couple more descriptions but for the sake of time I will spare everyone. I believe most of us are price tag dater’s now then before. Let’s look a little deeper.

Back in the day, around our teenage years, women were known for price tag dating. Come on ladies; remember talking to that guy because of the car he drove or if he had the new pair of J’s. Maybe it was because of his social worth like because he was the star basketball or football player at school. Most guys only cared about ass and tits in high school, and to a certain extent, majority of men still only care about that. You were young and it was just a phase right? WRONG!!! You still do it today, but it is kind of generally accepted now on both women and men part.

I think it is safe to say that most of us are planning for our future. Time is money, and no one really wants to talk to anyone who is a waste of time. So what do we find ourselves doing before we seriously start talking to someone? You got it!!! Valuing their worth. Does he/she have a college degree? Where is this person going in life? What is her/his occupation? Before you know it, we have successfully come to a rough potential worth for this person. We all do it, but why do we do it? Why not throw all that out of the window and just talk to someone based solely on them? Separate their occupation and what they do for a living away from their social life. I think that’s enough for today. Next week will feed off this but in another area of price tag dating.

Be productive, Be persistent, Be prudent.

Learn it, use it, and apply it to your vocabulary.
