The Professional Side Smash
In today's day and age, cheating is rampant. With all the bussas, sluts, hoes, and grimy individuals in the world (both male and female), how can one stay faithful?? When we look at these scenarios, we often focus on the cheaters and those that have been wronged; but, I'd like to take this week to discuss the individuals in the equation least talked about but obviously prevalent: The Professional Side Smash.
Be clear (SN: Ladies, don't you love when T.I. says that?? Ha-ha), I'm not talking about the female or male that doesn't know that she/he is a side smash. I'm talking about the "flea"male (used interchangeably) who is a willing participant in the festivities. She’s the chick that has your phone number just in case he acts up and doesn't give her the money he promised. He’s the dude that welcomes your wifey with open arms to his bed when you think she's out with the girls. The breezy/brotha who thinks it's perfectly fine to stick her/his narrow ass in the crevices of your relationship.
“The best type of dip is the one that you don’t have to convince to be a DIP/Side Chick - the willing dipper, if I may.”
-Marcus E.
We always wanna give these textbook answers for people like this. Ya know, they don't respect themselves or they don't think they deserve better. Or my fave, oft quoted by my teetee (yes, I said teetee), "when you know better, you do better.” However, I'd like to disagree (and play Devil's advocate, for the sake of discussion). They respect themselves, they just don't respect YOU, the faithful mofo in the relationship OR the dumb ass cheater. Deserve better?? Excuse me while I laugh! They're getting, in a way only T.I. can say, the "CREME de la CREME homie." And they obviously know there are better options, but could care less cuz the other options aren’t as productive or rewarding. Side smashes want it this way and are getting everything they desire. They're getting the booty/d*ck, the money/benefits, enough “reciprocity of need” to keep the situation going, and the ability to still maintain that "single" status. What are you getting besides a headache from all the "where you been at" arguments?? Lol
We all know they exist. Hell, at the moment, we might even be one. I'm just here to point out what I've observed. And what I see is that, professional side smashes have tendencies and characteristics. Most particularly:
1. They prey on those that have a weakness for the booty/d*ck. This is mostly a problem for men who, by nature, are hunters and seek out the side booty! So, as we all know, the side chick is way more popular.
2. They are self-involved individuals. If they aren't coming out on top, the situation is null and void.
3. Side smashes also don't give a f*ck about yo Boo at home! So, please don't confuse them with the dumb ass mofos that are sitting on the side waiting patiently for the cheater to leave.
These are hard core mofos that are all about getting it in and can be seen in the club singing, "f*ck a n*gga, money make me cum!" ha-ha! Or one of my fave Dream hits, "I Love Yo Girl."
"There's a certain level on non-f*ck giving" (I had to include that, I LMMFBO @ it.)

I will openly admit that the words you are reading are biased (if you can't already tell). I am that faithful mofo! And I abhor the IDEA of a side chick/dip (don't twist my words to say that I hate side chicks/dips. I don't, do your dougie!). Moreover, the song "Boyfriend #2" blows me! So, I decided to open the discussion up to some friends, both single and boo’d up, and here's what feedback I got:
“I hate the side chick!!!!! What kinda woman would allow themselves to be the side chick?!?!? I don't even blame the guy, I blame the girl. If women would not allow themselves to be the side chick, then men would not have a side chick! You see, men only do what we allow them to do. We (women) have the power... or the cookie as Steve Harvey calls it. Lol… But if you KNOW that yo ass is the side chick, then you straight need to be bitch slapped!!!!! No questions asked!!!”
-Janelle W.
”Coming from a man who had no need for a sideline chick, there is no purpose or legitimate reason for a man to use/borrow and toy with another woman's emotions.”
-Drewsean W.
Much as I suspected, there is a general consensus among people that Side Smashes are not a positive thing. But somebody loves it. Unfortunately for me, those ppl who do are not willing to speak up (punks!). So I did one better…
A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, admitted to being a side smash and had this to say:
"I guess the best way to describe us is either beautiful with issues, or ugly with low self esteem… I never set out to be a side chick."
Although this adds to that afflicted persons excuse that I totally dismissed in the earlier part of this article, it does need to be presented so you understand that not ALL side smashes are created equal. There are multiple types and as I learned from a friend, where that person is in life can determine that as well (i.e. busy career woman). So, there are some that this quote applies to, but the ones that I'm speaking on are The Professional Side Smashes. No one seems to admit to being one of those. And those three aforementioned characteristics/tendencies apply. So, if you peeped someone with those qualities or you are embodying them yourself, need I say.... SIDE SMASH ALERT!!!
So, what have we learned today?....
- Professional Side smashes have characteristics and tendencies that we can look for
- Most ppl are not fond of the side smash, or won’t admit it.
- There are different types (Later to be explored)
I say all this to inform you, debate with you and inspire you to come back next week!
Peace & Bless
