Today is the day of love, although everyday we should remember to spread #LOVE the #PRIMPLIFE way! Look in the mirror and start by telling yourself you love #YOU. You can't spread love if you don't love yourself too.
Sincerely,
Most people think Valentine's day is only for couples but.... NOT TRUE! This day is for singles, crushes, couples, and exes too. Because #ThePrimplifePlan is dedicated to helping you make the right choices we are gonna give you some relationship advice on the type of guys you may want to avoid today... and well any other day. We may even talk about some of the misters you should keep around.
1) Mr. Perfect aka Prince Charming
As females this is what we should all be aiming for, this is what all those Disney movies teaches us, this is the perfect boyfriend of our dreams, the husbands your fathers want you to have, the man you are supposed to pray for, and the son in law mothers dream of... also known as your dream guy!
*this is where you say aaaaaaaw!*
Unfortunately, he does not exist! Not to be blunt but no one is perfect, so there’s a reason you’ve only seen Prince Charming in movies.
But, Mr. Perfect still has a purpose. He teaches us that you don’t have to settle for less but, also not to set unrealistic standards. For example, if your dream guys is a super nice, super wealthy, super talented, and super attractive athlete with a sensitive side ...... that’s a bit much.
A girl can dream though!
A more respectable dream would be a hardworking, established, and respectful guy who is the apple of your eye.
Keep a look out for your prince charming but do not become obsessed with the idea of him. Fall for reality and not potential.

2) Mr. Almost Perfect SIKE NAW Not Really
Sorry for the long names but this one is a must and a necessary to explain. #Primpgirl insisted that I warn you of the shamefulness of this mister! With that being said,“Mr. Almost Perfect SIKE NAW Not Really” is a bootleg “Prince Charming”.
He is just what we described...“almost perfect but...NOT REALLY". For instance, say you meet this guy and he has all the qualities you are looking for and it seems like nothing can go wrong, but to your tragic dismay you find out he already has a girlfriend :-( even though he was treating you like his so called girlfriend! Then the distrust begins and your inner kermit starts to talk.
And then it all hits the fan when you find out the ultimate truth... that he is not the one! You may feel disappointed and upset with yourself because you allowed this trickery to happen, but don't, because almost perfect is really close to perfect (especially since Mr. Perfect doesn't exist, see above).
This is a basic act of deception and it happens to the best of us. Just remember "almost doesn't count"... not when it comes to your heart! Beware of this mister and watch for signs of his clever trickery such as....
Inconvenient lies ex.) "My phone died"; "I was with my boys"; etc.
Ignoring you
Sudden changes
Not claiming you in public

The best way to avoid this type is to know what you want and don't settle for less or what "seems" like more. If you come across this mister don't let him change your perception of all men because all men aren't bad and they aren't all "almost perfect". So really take caution or you will be telling yourself SIKE NAW!
3) Mr.Wannabe Rapper aka The Surreal Dreamer
We all have aspirations and dreams that we hope to fulfill and achieve. Most women say they want a guy who has dreams and aspirations too because that means they are ambitious and goal oriented . And as females we all want to be the one who helps motivate him to achieve his goals in life. Am I right? Now, a dreamer is a great thing but, when the dreamer turns into Mr. Wannabe Rapper then that can get your inner miss piggy talking.
But if you are really serious about him make sure he has a back up plan so he want spend his whole life and your whole life NOT making his dreams a reality. Remember believing and dreaming is only half the work. We aren’t saying that he can’t be the next J. Cole, or the next Lebron James or even the next Will Smith. We are just saying that everyone has a purpose and sometimes you have to let them find it first!
4) Mr. Good Guy aka The Realistic Prince Charming
Not to end this Valentine's Day on a sour note... this is the Mister that you shouldn't avoid! Mr. Good Guy is the Mister we should all be aiming for, but because we can get a little superficial, we often want the wrong ones or get tricked by them is more like it.
Let us tell you about Mr. Good Guy
Mr. Good Guy is probably not what you think he is because to our disbelief he isn’t gonna be the best at everything but, they are surely going to have a good heart and a good mind with goals, ambitions, and they are going to show you they care. THIS IS WHAT MATTERS PEOPLE! It is not going to be easy having Mr. Good Guy because you all might have arguments or you may even feel like he cares way too much, but no relationship is perfect and you must KNOW that. I can’t even fully explain Mr. Good Guy because I haven’t encountered him that much. If I have encountered them then, I may have missed him.
Often times Mr. Good Guy is right there in front of us. All I am saying is Mr. Good Guy is your soulmate, he is the one that is heaven sent and is the one actually worth fighting for and because he is Mr. Good Guy the fight won't be a total headache. If you are a little miss #primpgirl fan’ reading this blog then Mr. Good Guy may look like the one who shares his animal crackers with you when you don’t have any left ( AAAAAWWW emoji ). In brief, be on the lookout for Mr. Good Guy and as our mothers say pray for Mr. Good Guy now. Although, he probably is already looking and/or praying for you!
He is the realistic prince charming, he will have a career and respect your dreams and appreciate you along with your flaws.
Mr. Good Guy will always have a sense of humor (you can’t be with someone you think is boring) and keep you motivated... so please don’t miss out and I will try not to do the same. I'm taking notes from #Primpgirl too lol
Now that we got all that out the way here are some self care tips for all my single Valentines out there!
