Advice for a Hussy

By no way and in no means is this a "user guide to gold-digging and gold-diggers" or a "how to succeed in gold-digging" post. Consider it more of a "things I shouldn't forget when degrading myself" or "how not to annoy Syieve" tip sheet.

Gold-digging is probably as old as prostitution, but before the trendy renaming, I believe it was more commonly known as "seducing." You know, 'how to get what I want without working for it and making someone else think I'm interested in them.'

Now, considering the practice has been around for ages and we're in 2009--the age of strength, independence, and individuality....brace yourself for Tip #1.

• Tip #1: Be You. Do you. Get Your Own. Get yourself and your life together -- make a name for yourself, stand strong, take care of you, and get what's yours. Stop relying on others and don't spend your life saying "gimme" ... unless you're giving something as equally good (if not better) in return.
• Tip #2: Transparency isn't cute. If you do try to take advantage of another or others; have an A-Game, don't half step. Not sexy! Again, it's age-old and there are many competitors. Your ulterior motives should be smooth and unnoticeable. There's nothing less seductive than a tramp with a visible goal. Be smart, fool yourself if you have to, and don't wear your dreams on your sleeves.
• Tip #3: Be a sport about it; have a positive attitude. If someone calls you out as a Golddigger {see side note 3b}, don't be upset and have an attitude. It's your own damn fault. You're an amateur trying to be a professional and failed. Suck it up, deal with it, and follow-up on Tip #1. Be proactive.

Tip #3b: Being labeled a "gold-digger" isn't an honor, so don't gloat if you get labeled.

Take these tips with a grain of salt, if you want. I admit, I AM NOT A GOLD-DIGGER (contrary to popular belief), but I do know what a gold-digger should not be and should never do.

Now, take it to the bank and cash-in on it!
