by: Pretty Ricky

Every Friday, hip hop R&B's expert lovermen answer your questions about relationships, break-ups, casual dating, that wild freaknik ish, and everything else under the sun. To submit a question, email prettyricky@vibe.com.

Hey, I was wondering, why do you call yourselves Pretty Ricky? And how do you keep your body looking that good?

-Fazena aka 3rd; Kissimmee, Florida

We got our name from a '90s sitcom called MARTIN starring comedian Martin Laurence. There was an episode when Miguel Nunez played a character name Pretty Ricky Fauntain. Pretty Ricky was the ladies' man at their high school. During that time we were those dudes at our high school, feel me. We almost changed the name and Bishop Magic Dawn Juan told us he had a friend named Pretty Ricky, "Pretty Ricky what they call'em." He said the ladies love "Pretty Ricky and Pretty Ricky Love the Ladies. It flows off your tongue just right. If you ask me, "We always want to be on a lady's tongue just right"!!!

That's where it came from. Now what I want u and any other girl who loves Pretty Ricky to do is, go out and get a Pretty Ricky tattoo! When u see us in the streets and show us the tat, u will get more love than any other. My word is my bond!!! If u want u can get which ever group member u like and get the same response. Love ya shawty!

Oh yeah, the gym keeps the body right and milk does a body good! Great sex doesn't hurt either! It's actually a great cardio workout! LOL
Just kidding. But nah, I'm serious! LOL

Hey it's your girl out of H-town and I'm loving you boys. Hope to see ya'll in Miami Memorial Day Weekend. I got a question. I just got out of a 2-year relationship and I'mtrying to get back to dating. I don't know if it's just Houston men or men all over, but why are so many becoming golddiggers and groupies? I mean, when me and my girls go out, these dudeseither asking where you work, where you stay, or what kind of car you got.

I'm like WOW!!!!!!!! What is this all about? I mean I don't mind upgrading my man butthis is a bit much. I know when I step out I'm trying to be all fly but not for these fake dudes, you know. Where the real men that want something out of life?

And when are you boyz hitting H-Town? When you do shoot your girl an email. Me & my homegirls are looking for some real men & baby daddies. LOL!!!

-T, Houston

Really u can't blame these dudes. Its all Beyonce's fault with the independent woman phase yall girls are going through. Yall wanna be independent and men are looking at it like, why should they spend on you, when all you're going to do is throw it back at him about how much you don't need him to do so. So really, now the game has flipped. But no worries baby, there's hustlers and ambitious men out there. You just gotta find'em! One thing bout being an independent woman is a man who has something going on for his self will spot u before u spot him! Men don't wanna chick with no ambition. A give me, give me chick! They want a girl who offers to pick up a bill sometimes so they can feel like men and say, "I GOT IT," in the big voice! LOL

Let him have it! As for them gold diggin fellas! Stay away from'em! Even if the "you know what" is good! That's where yall girls get hooked. The "you know what" be banging and then yall can't let go and next thing you know, he living wit you and yo momma. You pregnant and he trying to put you on child support! Stay away from them scandalous men and get one of them Pretty Ricky boys who gone spend every dime they got on you! But remember one thing: nothing is free. If he spending on you, best believe he want something in return and if you ain't willing to put out, be willing to dish out yo own cash and keep control over the situation. Now before I hit the next question, I wanna give yall girls some game and just make sure I get my 20% when u see me.

If u wanna stay in his pockets, DON'T GIVE IT UP!
Soon as u give in, he's got what he wants and zoom zoom zoom, he's on to the next chick!

Last week my friend ask to hold my cell. A few hours later her man callin me back. Come to find out that's his cousin. He tellin me all kinds of shit I don't wanna hear. Tellin me he diggin me,he like my style,and I got a great body. Yea those are good compliments but hell naw. What Ireally want to say to him is "THERE WILL NEVER BE A ME AND YOU,I NEVER HAD FEELINGS FORYOU, JUST PRETEND I NEVER EXIST". He keep callin me 2 or 3 tymes in a row.All I want to be is his friend but he might not understand that either. Tell me what I'm supposed to do.

- Love ya, # 1 fan ...Mowkwesha

Let his ass know! Men can't stand rejection. Take away his manhood and let him know ain't none of that going on round here! Tell him ain't your type or something.  Whatever and however you feel when he calls you for that third time in the row, let it RIP!

What he gone do, call you a BITCH? Say FUCK YOU?
FUCK HIM!

And stop letting these females use your phone to call their man cause they man really gone be calling you in a minute. That's what men do. Try to hit the girlfriend and all her friends so they can brag about it! Don't be a statistic! Don't be a topic of conversation for these busters! Most men are so dumb. U give them some and they tell the world and all they end up doing is giving you all the reasons not to give them none anymore! Silly silly men! They need to learn a thang or two from Pretty Ricky. This is what you do. Get him a PR CD, tell hit check out this page or send his ass to myspace.com/prettyricky and we'll teach him to do right! We guarantee it or you can slap our daddy! LMAO

Hey guys, my name's Dai but every body calls me Lil Bit. I have two questions for ya'll.

1. I have an ex, we been goin out for two years off and on, which I don't understand because he says he loves me. We recently decided to just be friends, but somehow wealways wind up talking again or going together. Well this time I decided I wasn't going to just be waiting around for him to just all of a sudden be my boyfriend again so I decided to "see new ppl." I did it and I met a great guy that's even better than my ex... I really like him and I want us to work so should I cut off all contact wit my old boo so i wont get suck away from my new boo?

-U should never cut your old men off. You never know when they might come in handy - u might get a flat tire or something. Whateva it is, keep him hoping he can get it again but don't lead him on. Let your new man know that he'll always be around but that's only because yall are friends and knew each other for such a long time. If he can't understand that; he's drama waiting to happen. Yall girls need men who are understanding and know how to communicate. Those are the main things that keep a relationship together. It's not about finding the perfect man. Its more about understanding your man and vice versus!

2. My other question is bout me and my weight. In '06 and most of '07 I wore a size 0/1 in jeans. Then it jus kept goin up my jeans got tighter - so tight to the point it was time to throw em out...

Now i'm bringing in the new year as a size 3/4.... I'm a short girl and in what clothing store label as petite or small so do you think guys will still like a cute lil mama even after after she done got a little thicker ?

- Of course, men love woman all sizes, colors whateva. Men love woman period, and if you find a man who might feel the opposite; that's when you ask yourself, "IS HE GAY"! Woman are the most beautiful and elegant beings walking the face of the earth. There is no such thing as a woman who's not gorgeous! To each his own is what I tellem! Like I always say. If Buddy wanna slip, come my way! I don't discriminate! I luv juicy girls! "Can you make it juicy for me baaaaaby"???

Wats good Pretty Ricky, first of all let me say y'all r my favorite group.

Sometimes the boy I'm talking to (I'm single) thinks it's wrong for me to know everything about sports. Some boys think they need to know more than me, but I think it doesn'tmatter. Some boys think it's all right, but the boys I chill with think it'swrong. I mean when me n my girls go to our school basketball game, they ask me what's going on cause they don't know, and some of boys look at me, but it's whatever. I mean I know things about football and theystart to be like, how you know all that. But I just want to know is it wrong for me to know all these things about sports? I mean I ain't gonna change for nobody.

Hell naw! Some dudes like girls who into sports - I know I do! I'm pretty sure you'll find a man who'll enjoy playin ball wit you on Sundays or watching the game at night! The cats you talking bout gotta be immature, because u liking sports doesn't mean ur not feminine or any less of a woman! It just mean that you and him both have similar interests. That actually makes yall more compatible! Kick him to the curb if he keeps on with the nonsense.

It's time for my ladies to start standing up for their rights and beliefs! Yall are in a male dominated society that's populated majorilly by women! Think about it. Pretty Ricky worship women because we understand how strong a woman has to be in today's world! We Love All of You. Don't change who you are baby!

Hell make sure yall vote for yall girl Hillary, Pretty Ricky don't really do politics but women should stick together and ride strong! Just remember us when yall get there! We strippin at the after party!!!! LOL
