Local writer wants no scrubs, will not give them love

Put this dude on your vagina’s Do Not Fly list. via Metropark

Ladies! Have you fallen victim to the subset of date grifters known as “broke-ass dudes with no shame?” Our own Karina Briski has dealt with them, and over at The Billfold, she’s laid out her case that women should want these mother-effing dudes off their mother-effing plane of existence. After all, everyone is broke, so despite the tiny lady boner that pops up at the prospect of a starving artist, there’s nothing but missing Oreos and missing towels down that road. This revelation occurs after a date with a guy ends with him not being able to pay for his own beers and then having the audacity to ask for a kiss anyway. The meat of her thesis:

Remember TLC’s “No Scrubs?” The late-90s pop song-cum-PSA which immortalized the type and provided tags for identifying one? In case you don’t, here’s a reminder: a scrub is someone who hangs out of his best friend’s ride, lives with his momma, and most importantly, “can’t get no love from me.” No love! So I ask: What happened to this zero-tolerance policy? Instead of left-eying Mr. Scrub, many women seem to have grown extra sympathetic to his plight. Because, crappy as it is, it’s a lot like our own.

To see Karina tell some bustas to talk to the hand, check out her out at Words With Beers tomorrow night, at Bedford Hill
