PETTY....PETTY....PETTY....PETTY

Ok how many times have you heard the phrase or phrases

"Stop being so petty"

"Oooh you're just so petty"

"Petty is as petty does"

 

Well if you're anything like me you've heard an overuse of the word but also guilty of using it yourself a time or two. Since I know we as people have our own version of what every word in the "urban" dictionary means I decided to just research it for myself and here is what I found....

 

1. When someone takes a small subject & blows it out of proportion

Basically making a mountain out of a mole hill.

 

2. Being deliberately nasty or rude for no reason

Basically being childish.

 

Now with all that being said & reading the meaning of the word I want to say this, it's bad enough that so called grown women are going around being all petty, especially on social media but when you run across a grown man that's doing it, it's a major turnoff. There is nothing appealing to a grown woman about a petty man, the same way I'm sure no grown man likes a petty woman & if they do then they both have some growing up to do. If you find yourself acting out of character all because of what someone else has done or is doing then you're really making a fool out of yourself & not even realizing you're actually pushing that person away & not drawing them to you, being petty is the worse thing a person can do in a relationship. So while you're sitting back thinking "Bam I got them", what you've really gotten yourself is a single status.

 

If you're confused as to what I'm talking about let me explain it real quick.....

1. Don't call me, I won't call you {petty}

2. Won't answer my questions in a timely fashion, I'll ignore you {petty}

3. Won't like my stuff, I won't like yours {petty}

4. Your phone is locked I'll lock mine {petty}

5. Won't help me, I won't help you {petty}

 

Now back to what I was saying, I hate a petty female but since most females are naturally jealous of other females for no reason it's kind of to be expected, but I truly despise a petty man/boy. You see I feel men are suppose to be strong, show strength & stand their grounds but when they resort going tit for tat then that becomes a major turnoff & will push a person away from them quicker than cheating will. Changing your actions to become petty all because you think it will draw the person to you is a sure fire way to get yourself 1st place in the singles line.

 

But to those who choose to act petty here's a little something from me to you....
