The story isn’t about Dave Chappelle the superstar, it’s about the fourteen-year-old boy that we were introduced to in t

Not being loyal to your friends. I’ve been with men who would sabotage their friendships to get ahead in their careers. I’d be kidding myself not to assume they’d do the same to me if they had the chance.,But the story doesn’t end there. At his lowest ebb, Dave plays his trump card. He asks the audience for their help. He asks us to help that child get back what was taken from him by refusing to help the networks profit from his work. He asks us to boycott him. Not the networks, him.,Trying to sleep with someone after a mediocre date. I’d like to think that men know when there’s a great connection and when there isn’t. Yet, plenty of men continue to assume that a first date will lead to spending the night together. If you’re looking for a serious relationship, your best bet is to wait for anything sexual to happen and get to know the woman first.,Having too high of expectations from your partner. If you need a woman who always wears makeup, works out four times a week, and dresses in heels, please be upfront. It will save the woman you’re on a date with a night wasted with someone whose expectations are superficial.,Bad hygiene. When you meet someone new, first impressions are everything. If you smell bad or look like you slept in the clothes you’re wearing, it’s a major turn-off. That’s not superficial. It’s simply sanitary.,Talking about your ex (a lot). If they naturally come up in the conversation, great. But if you’re talking too much about them, your date will start to wonder if you’re still hung up on your ex. If you are, that’s OK, but maybe you’re not ready to date yet.,Verify that as soon as the baby starts crying you receive a notification on your phone. If you don’t you may other review the labels you applied to your audio samples, the architecture and parameters of your neural network, or the sample length/window/frequency band parameters.,Needing always to be right. You won’t always be right. The odds aren’t on your side. Disrespecting our views along your quest for an ego boost will leave us asking for the bill.,The story folds back on itself gracefully, like a decorative fan, and as it does, we’re brought back to that first image of Dave as a child, being robbed of his work by an enemy who’s too big to fight.,You’re not working on yourself. We know you follow Gary Vee and the likes for hustling hard to make money. You can put in the effort to recognizing your childhood traumas and not letting them affect the people in your life.,The assumption that we need to be saved. The trope of prince-charming coming in to save the princess might’ve made for great Disney movies, but this is 2020. We don’t need you to save us because we’re not failing. In fact, we’re thriving.,Treating your mother badly. It’s one thing not to have a relationship with your mom, but it’s a whole other thing to have a relationship but treat her like she’s a burden you never asked for. Women know that how a man treats his mom is usually indicative of how they treat women altogether.,Acting like you’re a highly wanted man. No woman is going to hear that and think, “oh wow, I need to get him before someone else does!” It’ll either offend someone with high self-esteem or make your date feel insecure. Neither of those is a good outcome for you.,“I’m begging you. If you ever liked me. If you ever think there was anything worthwhile about me, I’m begging you. Please don’t watch that show. I’m not asking you to boycott any network, boycott me. Boycott the Chappelle Show. Do not watch it unless they pay me.”,Not being able to laugh at yourself. A charming quality in a guy is humility. No one is perfect, and if you can’t admit when you mess-up and learn to move past it, the relationship will feel too fragile.
