Your competition isn't women, it's other men, as someone said before the RP is all about brotherhood but put a pretty gal in the room and watch "brotherhood" go out the window. Have seen it to many times not just in BP spaces but also in RP spaces

"Marable shows that the inner circle of the NOI was an emotional wastelandsuffused with enmity, pettiness, and corruption. He describes NOI officials inflicting beatings on followers as a mode of discipline and demanding increased tithes to pay for expensive automobiles. He establishes that Malcolm X's marriage to Betty Shabazz was a loveless affair, marked by neglect (his) and infidelity (hers). He makes clear beyond any doubt that Elijah Muhammad, while married, seduced young followers, got them pregnant, and then abandoned them and their children, all the while preaching the virtue of chastity and patriarchal duty.
Marable notes how Elijah Muhammad cruelly manipulated those who viewed him as a prophet, insisting, for example, that his ministers desist from buying life insurance so that they would be all the more subject to him out of fear for their families in the event of their incapacitation or death. Marable sets forth in sobering detail the salience of betrayal and revenge in the lives of people who purportedly cherished racial loyalty and unity. Malcolm X served as Muhammad Ali's mentor. But he was summarily ostracized by "The Greatest" when he sought independence from the NOI. Malcolm X offered friendly advice and support to Louis X. But when Malcolm deigned to leave the NOI and publicly expose its leader's messy and multiple sexual dalliances, his former friend targeted him as a man "worthy of death."
