Also Tasha character was just right a everyday person but she always had a encouraging word to say to Lawrence and she made no bones about it she was interested in him. She was nice to him and also had a nice body as well lol!
I only began watching show after you and bgs commented on it. After the season finale I was amazed how many women I know disregarded Issa's actions (engineering a meetup w/ Daniel, avoiding and disrespecting Lawrence at his low point, sex with Daniel) only to go in on Lawrence. Just another lesson in female group preference.
DJAlisterCrane It seems to me that sistas want to compete with brothas instead of wanting to actually be loyal, supportive and encouraging to a brotha.
We all do know that when a man is at his lowest ebb financially, his woman disrespects him and shows no loyalty. What is even more surprising is that if the man thugs it out and things thaw out and he stands back on his feet once again, the lack of respect from his woman will not automatically disappear. She would continue. In most cases, the respect might come back if only she loses him. Women are wired like that.
Yes indeed! it was great to finally see the nice guy win. I started to watch insecure and wasn't feeling it at first for obvious reasons, but I chose to finish the series and man was it worthwhile. After watching your videos and listening to you, both you and BGS IBMOR are master teacher's in my eyes. Keep up the great work brother!
Just from the few comments on this video I got more videos coming on Insecure. I'll be doing one each on Tasha and Daniel. It'll be based on their general archetypes. The supportive sista and the Goodbar who wants something real.
Bro after seeing your 1st review on this show. I got HBO Now during the Christmas weekend and watched it this truly was a deep show. Why we relate to it the way we do we been there in some shape form or fashion as the good guy, what if guy, took a job that wasn't for you but make the best of it until you got a better opportunity to really move forward guy.
Don't forget that she kissed Daniel in the first episode and didn't tell Lawrence. She still didn't tell him, but you could say they were "technically" broken up I guess.
I'm a woman and I was cheering for lawrence. I've never had a man turn down a woman like he did with Tasha smh lol I would kill for a man like that....
Rom Wills at the same time, I don't see Tasha being so supportive of lawrence while he sits up in her house for 2 years with no job either lol she seems like she would be real stank with attitude after awhile especially if he forgot her b day...I don't think he was completely innocent. but I'm not mad at him for that final scene...Tasha had been throwing it at him and he used it to his advantage. that's how some women get played
These are both examples of the womb imprint (Daniel on Issa) and the positive mental male imprint (Tasha on Lawrence). They both happened how you explained they would in your two imprint videos that you did months ago. I think every man will be a Mr. Goodbar to a woman at least once in his life because good looks are subjective.
The movie"Why Do Fool's Fall in Love" covers the three types of sistas, brothas should seek out. The sweet country girl, the (good) around the way chick and the mature dime. All three are ride or die and easy to pull.
After listening to your reviews and seeing that screenshot of that scene I'm going to have to watch Insecure on Demand with Comcast bro. I thought that screen shot was from a porno scene LOL! No but the dynamics of the characters seems intriguing and very relatable.
It was deep fam. I watched the first few shows thinking it would be the typical "Black Men ain't sh*t" theme. It was very balanced and real. I give Issa Rae some credit because it's almost ground breaking to show Black women having to be accountable for their actions.
Diplo Fire Relationship such as that, always work in the man's favor, but it's up to him not to fuck it up. He got her nose wide open, which is a good thing. She's the type of black woman I need from a character perspective persa. Reality, it's hard to find black women like her character she diplays in the series.
Diplo Fire If all black women think this way like her character, we wouldn't be fueding at each other. This is what black men have been saying to these MATRIX DIVAS for years and I'm glad the director brought this to their attention. If they choose to ignore this, then it's their lost, next thing you know, the only companions that will keep them company is CATS. I understand that this is just a TV series, but this sista saw this man's potential at an early age in life and she pursued him, while ESA is looking dumbfounded and shit.

She was stupid for sleeping with Daniel. Issa should have just left Lawrence alone. Neither of them seemed to be into each other to me. Lawrence was waiting for his dream job to come along. That's not reality. You have to work until you get to that point and him and Issa didn't have a strong enough relationship to wait for him to get it together. Black women do not get a chance to lay about until we figure our lives out. He did not get his shit together for her. He did that for HIM! He was going to turn the Best Buy job down. We don't pay bills with air. If I can't sit home then a man won't be sitting home either. Bust your ass until you make it. No you don't get brownie points for admitting to another woman that you have a girlfriend! That's what you're supposed to do! I didn't view either of them as victims. I viewed them both as people who weren't interested in each other.
Well at the end of the day it is a TV show and they have a market to feed and products to sell. Don't be surprised if in season 2 that they go the route of 99% of female media and make Lawrence apologetic to placate their audience. HBO (and Issa Rae) really upset the typical narrative that women have built and paid for. They really want to see the women redeemed and the men vilified.
With it being a tv show, if he does take her back, he will fuck up so bad, that Issa cheating will not count against her anymore. But in real life, never!
That could be an angle. One thing Black women who are at that place between hood and "educated" will tend to have a more favorable view of the Lawrences of the world. These are women who tend to have more common sense and they are trying to better their circumstances.
I see it but I don't get it, there are people that still use the lame title on this guy because, his swag was not up from the start? We all have to begin somewhere, he was stuck for a minute but he was still young and did not stop trying to move even when he did not feel it. I expect women to feel a certain way but the males, just get to me for not being able to put themselves In another brothers shoes, just for a minute. Empathy is lost amongst you, then you get angry when nobody want to care about you. You slap a brother when he is down then turn and ask him for help. Compassion is something a man needs to learn and to teach, and to build, no wonder so many of us are going nowhere fast.
I went and finished the show about two weeks go, glad he didn't go back To Issa. Him having sex with Tasha, I don't really agree with because she basically became the rebound. Ain't really of substance.
I'm not cheering brother Lawrence because he was lame and weak their entire relationship. Finally in the end he mans up. A lady like Issa you need to put here on there place. Play nice to her is not the right strategy. But don't get it twisted the guy is very smart but needs to have game lesson from Daniel. Lawrence will be alright...
Yannick N.D. Just because a woman is in a "relationship" with a man she may not necessarily like the relationship. Lawrence was a simp for being in relationship with Issa because she really wanted Daniel the entire time.
Yannick N.D. I think you're being too hard on him. Lawrence was raised like most men are. With the mindset that simply being a good hardworking guy is enough to keep a good woman loyal. Through experience, we eventually become Daniel. The purpose of Lawrence's character dynamic is to show that the "assholes" black women bash were INITIALLY good men that got burned by (wait for it) black women. Lawrence represents the average man who was able to connect the dots and wake up.
I can see it from your point. My reaction was more from the part that thinks" come on men" you have everything yourself an education,the looks, but you miss confidence. If i was Lawrence i would tell Issa this "Listen you're not that special either so don't talk to me like you are are some kind of superwoman because you're not"! And than to keep it for real i will say" You are working at a job for 5 years but the only thing that you do is complaining about white people but the problem is you because you don't believe in yourself and you know what even youre boss sees that so that's why you wanna change jobs because you think they don't appreciate you but it's you not them that has the problem it's you"! The last thing that i would say is this "First and for all i dont like youre friend Molly because honest she's just an ohter educate hooker and even if she likes me i coulndt care less because she herself is ingnore good guys because she think she derserves Obama(if you know what i mean) but she is not true to her herself! But then again i would never be in a relationship of 5 years with women that gives vibes to me the entire time when we are toghetter and is not really interesting in me. He's a good but like you said the mentality of the good bar like Professor Rom always says is the mindset that you need to have for now regardless to women. I'm pretty straight but the reason for that is we are men and it's time to wake up and take control for real!
What Issa did was wrong and they BOTH should’ve communicated. Neither was both wrong and right. In the MOMENT Issa just wanted to feel wanted and deserving . Lawrence on the other didn’t satisfy Issa. (Not saying Issa is right) It takes two to make it relationship work. They both had body counts yet keep hurting other people .
Alvin Hollinger III Off the top with Tasha I see Elegant Rose with some Treasure Chest coming on line since she wants to rise in banking. Also a healthy dose of moon in her since she was nurturing him while he was down. Actually a woman with Rose and Moon energy is powerful beyond belief. Rare though since the energies are diametrically opposed.
Yep thats some superior woman shit. She may have that Seated hawk come online if they develop plans together. Alas, Ive seen this trope before. What may happen is Lawrence not done with Issa because he still attatched to her. Hes going to go back or at least have some incidental sex with her. And the other chick going to get damaged. Its always the female fantasy and viewership "moneyshot" for the female to be redeemed. If this goes this way the black manosphere gon riot. Issa know if the lose the black female viewership too much, HBO going to cut off that spigot or the series will be short lived. Women love the tension of those "Love" triangles. Spike Lee hit that chord with Shes gotta have it and Nola Darling's creating her perfect man out of 3 men and they all tolerating that setup.
What BM don't understand about this generation of women is that they don't realize that BM have to have their egos stroked everyday like brushing your teeth. My generation knows and my mother's generation knew it but since they don't have fathers in the house they think since men are adults they will do what a man is suppose to do. Women today take care of men. They are educated, have money in the bank, they own properties and run companies, so they think like men. They equate power with their money. They don't know any other way. They take charge because they feel they have too. Since their respect is with the confident man, they really don't respect a man that continue to struggle and can't seem to get it together. Older women know that you let your pride gets in the way and you don't communicate it. You take the hurt and brood, or feel sorry for yourself. Younger women don't have the patient to analyze that and they just assume you are being trifling. But BM straddle the fence. You will stay there and allow yourselves to be taken care of but at the same time you will be complaining. All these women see is that they are taking care of you which to any generation of women is a turn off. BM are so understanding when it happens to them but seriously, don't lie, How many BM would let a BW stay at their place for years without giving her an ultimatum or disrespecting her and bringing women home? And to guys you are not going to get respect just because you are a male. You have to earn respect. Even this generation of men want the women to be old fashion and cook for them but you have to be old fashion and date them. It works both ways
Why do so many Black women focus on the men who aren't doing anything with their lives? Many Black men have better education, finances, and material possessions than Black women. This is easily researched. Maybe the real issue is who Black women are choosing.
Also Tasha character was just right a everyday person but she always had a encouraging word to say to Lawrence and she made no bones about it she was interested in him.
She was nice to him and also had a nice body as well lol!
That's our fantasy woman.
Rom Wills yes sir!
Rom Wills where can I find this movie? Sorry I'm out of the loop lol
She does have a nice body but her face is meh..
And look how Lawrence repaid y’all’s “fantasy woman”... SMH
I only began watching show after you and bgs commented on it. After the season finale I was amazed how many women I know disregarded Issa's actions (engineering a meetup w/ Daniel, avoiding and disrespecting Lawrence at his low point, sex with Daniel) only to go in on Lawrence.

I'm going in on the sistas on that in some upcoming videos. That double standard has to go.
DJAlisterCrane It seems to me that sistas want to compete with brothas instead of wanting to actually be loyal, supportive and encouraging to a brotha.
I was breaking dancing when he was fucking home girl!
LMAO!!! The good guy got the girl.
Wilsonian Garveyite he was all over that Lofa
Wilsonian Garveyite
Yeah, poetic justice...or turnabout is fair play.
We all do know that when a man is at his lowest ebb financially, his woman disrespects him and shows no loyalty. What is even more surprising is that if the man thugs it out and things thaw out and he stands back on his feet once again, the lack of respect from his woman will not automatically disappear.

After watching your videos and listening to you, both you and BGS IBMOR are master teacher's in my eyes. Keep up the great work brother!
Thank you brotha.
Tru Dat... stand up and give standing ovation because any woman who believes in you and has your back if you could be able to move mountains
I'm going to talk about that in my upcoming video about Tasha. She's the REAL reason he got his shit together.
Exactly
Field Master Rom checking in
You inspired this Master Teacher. Your breakdown is classic. Brothas need to study your character sketches
Just from the few comments on this video I got more videos coming on Insecure. I'll be doing one each on Tasha and Daniel. It'll be based on their general archetypes. The supportive sista and the Goodbar who wants something real.

You sum it perfectly. We've all been there. If you think about it Daniel showed the other side of the game. I got a video coming on that.
Rom Wills You and BGS have been excellent with these break downs of this show. We dealt with all 4 grade types 85 87 89 92 as BGS broke down.
Don't forget that she kissed Daniel in the first episode and didn't tell Lawrence. She still didn't tell him, but you could say they were "technically" broken up I guess.
I got a feeling that Issa is going to switch it up in the next season because it put too much of the sisters mess out there.
I feel the same way.
Keith Klaxton Interesting angle and comment.
I think Issa Rae should give Rom Wills and BGS IBMOR a fat check for excellent publicity....
That's real talk brotha. There's about to be a third video about how Tasha supported Lawrence.
I'm a woman and I was cheering for lawrence. I've never had a man turn down a woman like he did with Tasha smh lol I would kill for a man like that....
Always said sensible sistas know a good man.
Rom Wills at the same time, I don't see Tasha being so supportive of lawrence while he sits up in her house for 2 years with no job either lol she seems like she would be real stank with attitude after awhile especially if he forgot her b day...I don't think he was completely innocent. but I'm not mad at him for that final scene...Tasha had been throwing it at him and he used it to his advantage. that's how some women get played
That's fair. Somebody like Tasha would've stayed on him though to do something.
Rom Wills somebody like Tasha might have found somebody else...we don't know what her loyalty level is
These are both examples of the womb imprint (Daniel on Issa) and the positive mental male imprint (Tasha on Lawrence). They both happened how you explained they would in your two imprint videos that you did months ago. I think every man will be a Mr. Goodbar to a woman at least once in his life because good looks are subjective.
Yeah that imprint is nothing to mess with.

Lawrence became Tasha's Mr.Goodbar while at the same time being the man on the come up she wanted.
Tasha had vision. I'm doing a video about women like her.
Diplo Fire Relationship such as that, always work in the man's favor, but it's up to him not to fuck it up.

It's a trip though that the sisters are still calling him a sorry ass dude.
I'm going to address that in a video. Notice that women go hard on decent men.
Rom Wills They go hard on decent brothas because we're not putting up with their shit.
She was stupid for sleeping with Daniel. Issa should have just left Lawrence alone. Neither of them seemed to be into each other to me. Lawrence was waiting for his dream job to come along.

Fair viewpoint.
I just finished the series. i stood and cheered at the end of the last episode lol
I watched the last scene several times. For research purposes of course.
+Rom Wills lol Tasha is tough!
Dreekuz LOL!
Believe little to nothing a woman says. And believe half of what you see!
Lawrence best not take Issa back!
If he does brotha across the country are going to call bullshit.
Well at the end of the day it is a TV show and they have a market to feed and products to sell. Don't be surprised if in season 2 that they go the route of 99% of female media and make Lawrence apologetic to placate their audience.
HBO (and Issa Rae) really upset the typical narrative that women have built and paid for. They really want to see the women redeemed and the men vilified.
Infinity MFG Black men have to change the narrative.
Rom Wills
That's why Obsidian is so well received by us Thinking Black Men.
With it being a tv show, if he does take her back, he will fuck up so bad, that Issa cheating will not count against her anymore. But in real life, never!
dont do anthing foe a woman. do what ever you want for your self.
After living overseas for a few years, I realized that EL (like myself) are overlooked by most American sistas. Great video.
Thank you.
One woman's trash is another woman's goodbar. Do you think Tasha appreciated him because she got burned in the past by some other playa?
That could be an angle. One thing Black women who are at that place between hood and "educated" will tend to have a more favorable view of the Lawrences of the world. These are women who tend to have more common sense and they are trying to better their circumstances.

This comment is fiyah!
I was like "Amen" Lawrence.
I went and finished the show about two weeks go, glad he didn't go back To Issa.
Him having sex with Tasha, I don't really agree with because she basically became the rebound. Ain't really of substance.
I have a feeling they might go with that angle for the second season.
The show isn't like most in it's genre so I can't really predict what season 2 is going to be about.
IWantMyVisionBack True. Issa will probably surprise everybody.
!!! 👍 No words are necessary.
I'm not cheering brother Lawrence because he was lame and weak their entire relationship. Finally in the end he mans up. A lady like Issa you need to put here on there place. Play nice to her is not the right strategy. But don't get it twisted the guy is very smart but needs to have game lesson from Daniel. Lawrence will be alright...

Dominique made my heart beat hard
I can relate to Lawrence, ive never been able to pull off the daniel type mystic . i consider myself a smart funny guy
Many men relate to Lawrence.
What Issa did was wrong and they BOTH should’ve communicated. Neither was both wrong and right. In the MOMENT Issa just wanted to feel wanted and deserving . Lawrence on the other didn’t satisfy Issa. (Not saying Issa is right) It takes two to make it relationship work. They both had body counts yet keep hurting other people .
Is an assertive man an intelligent badboy in your opinion?
He's just assertive.
I thought Lawrence was such a good guy
CHURCH!! I thought I has something deep and Profound to say but everyone knocked it out the Park!!
That's praise coming from you. Now if we can get Master Yao to watch the show. THAT would be a breakdown.
Rom Wills Bruh he'd see so many Archetypes and confirmations in there.
Alvin Hollinger III Off the top with Tasha I see Elegant Rose with some Treasure Chest coming on line since she wants to rise in banking. Also a healthy dose of moon in her since she was nurturing him while he was down. Actually a woman with Rose and Moon energy is powerful beyond belief. Rare though since the energies are diametrically opposed.
Yep thats some superior woman shit. She may have that Seated hawk come online if they develop plans together.
Alas, Ive seen this trope before. What may happen is Lawrence not done with Issa because he still attatched to her. Hes going to go back or at least have some incidental sex with her. And the other chick going to get damaged. Its always the female fantasy and viewership "moneyshot" for the female to be redeemed. If this goes this way the black manosphere gon riot.
Issa know if the lose the black female viewership too much, HBO going to cut off that spigot or the series will be short lived.
Women love the tension of those "Love" triangles. Spike Lee hit that chord with Shes gotta have it and Nola Darling's creating her perfect man out of 3 men and they all tolerating that setup.
Alvin Hollinger III That's my fear in all of this which is why need to create independent media. In the end it's about the ratings.
Well okay now
IM A CHECK THAT SHOW OUT
wow som3ething is happening somethuing big is happening the awakening
Truth.
What BM don't understand about this generation of women is that they don't realize that BM have to have their egos stroked everyday like brushing your teeth. My generation knows and my mother's generation knew it but since they don't have fathers in the house they think since men are adults they will do what a man is suppose to do.
