I want to party, smoke some weed, and drink more champagne. There are lovely ladies around me and I want to know who will vibe with me best. I am feeling the energy and have enough money to enjoy myself!

I am asking if I can be your protector in every aspect of your life. Many men want to control you, but you don't let them bother you or lecture you about things like power tools or cars. These men are toxic and can spread negative energy. You know your worth, so you won't let them affect you!

There are many men trying to get close to these ladies, but they are getting tired of the fakers and pretenders. They only want to hang out with the cool guys and riders, and they won't be fooled by smooth-talking liars or flatterers. Some of these men are trying to hide their lack of money, while others are trying to move secretly like Spider Man. The ladies won't fall for their tricks and won't open up to them!
