After watching the season finale of Basketball Wives, I was appalled! I’ll admit, it was the first time I actually sat and watched the show, but boy did I pick a good episode to start watching. VH-1 has developed an entire series about women who have for lack of a better term “slept their way to the top!” These women have married, slept with, and dated athletes and have become famous. as a result. Now I will admit I do have respect for the one’s who “lucked” up and married the “right” man. Although, I do wonder where do I need to sign up to get one? I can take care of myself with no problem, but I could also enjoy an “upgrade” in life. I often wonder, where are the athletes who have met and married respectable hard-working women? Or have these “housewives” pulled a “Melanie” and sacrificed their dreams for to support her husbands’? Now, the REAL reason for my disgust at the entire “wives” phenomenon...Evelyn. This woman has very little class and has shown the entire viewing public that she has and will continue sleeping her way to the “top”. She slept with her castmate’s husband, had her own basketball-playing finance, and SLEPT WITH Ocho Cinco of the 1st date! They say that you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife, but Evelyn seems to be getting a lot of love from somebody. Here is my issue, as I look around my circle of successful, professional, well-educated, and classy women, many of us are single. I will admit that many of us are single because we have a low tolerance for bullshit that many of these “basketball wives” accept in exchange for the life of luxury. However, it really bothers me that Evelyn is enjoying a life of luxury because she’s probably given a few more rides than amtrak (that’s just me speculating). I pose a question to my men who are reading this - what do you look for in a woman? Would you rather turn the hoe into a housewife or strong woman holding her own? Your response won’t really have an impact on MY behavior...just curious to know what I’m dealing with as I “pursue love.”

Ho to a HOusewife vs Independent Women
