"Dime" vs. "around the way girl"

SOO the other day I had a conversation I haven’t had in a min... The whole "type of girl" kinda conversation with one of my male friends. In terms of type of girl, we were discusing the girls that like to act like everything about them is on point from their hair to their shoes to what ever new trending accessory is out: the self proclaimed "DIME"... then you have the girls that "keep it real" still look fly but dosent point out every "fly" thing they own; the so called "AROUND THE WAY GIRL". The way the conversation carried out started with the comparison of Beyonce and Keyshia Cole. First let me state the comparison had nothin to do with vocal abilities, performances, or any other skill related quality but the actual self image they portray to their fans


The BEYONCE followers:

Now first let me state these are my own views no offense to anyone! The Beyonce followers are usually from middle class families. They might not have a silver spoon but they are well off. They typically are materialistic, set non-tangible goals for themselves in terms of: appearances because they are consumed with following the latest trends, diets and etc. Most try to have the same appearance as Beyonce, from weaves, to fake lashes.


The KEYSHIA COLE followers:

Usually from middle or lower income families. Most had a challenging lifestyle which makes them appear to have a sort of bleak feeling about life events. Because of their upbringing they usually have a tight knit family, be it immediate or an extended family. These followers are similar to Beyonce's being that they like to look nice and wear nice things, however the difference between the two is the K.C followers are usualy more modest and don’t sweat the latest trends as long as they look good in what they have on. Yes!! They rock weaves and fakes lashes too but not for every new trend... ex. the new"Amber Rose " look is a Beyonce follower all day!

From my own encounter with BEYONCE followers I find them to have their priorities confused. If your in college (big ups to Hampton U) your not there to rock the new Louis Vuitton bag or not go to class because you "dont have nothin to wear". Thats just ridiculous.. throw on some sweats and call it a "bad day" I just feel that the image Beyonce has made for herself sets false standards for young girls. Some feel that they need to keep up with the trends she continues to follow and set, and some focus on her physical appearance tryin to achieve that for themselves. Now again I feel I need to emphasize im not talkin about actual fans because I am a BEYONCE fan, I'm talkin about the girls who create this façade and relate to BEYONCE and I guess SASHA FIERCE lol
I find my encounters with the KEYSHIA COLE followers to be different. The conversation held is more in depth and can range from fashion to political views big ups OBAMA!! These are the girls who are quick to throw on some cute sweats if its a bad day and make it to class because that's "what they gotta do!" The image KEYSHIA COLE has made is different depending on the viewer. Most find her image to be the hood girl some think its ghetto, some think she' just "real". Whichever reason the K.C fans follow her, they too relate to Keyshia Cole (the old and the new KEYSH lol) the same way BEYONCE followers relate to her.

As the conversation I had with my friend carried on he expressed how these different type of girls make it harder for him in the dating world. I guess because guys can find themselves attracted to the BEYONCE followers because they're all glamed up but they find it easier to relate to a K.C follower. My friend stated when he dates they type of girl that is a BEYONCE follower that they are more concerned with the latest fashion gadget rather then the more imporant things in life. He said he found them to have blinded goals and priorties. He then continued to speak about the K.C followers saying he finds it easier to relate to those He found them to be more upfront, "keep it real" and understands the struggles they may have had to over come growing up.
My question is which do guys prefer the BEYONCE or K,C type of girl? Which do they find themselves more compatible with? and ladies which are you a B or K.C? I think I'ma K.C type of girl and I AM PROUD OF IT! :)

Again I am not talking about BEYONCE FANS or KEYSHIA COLE fans but the images people try to portray. I honestly feel that BEYONCE as a brand has created a lot of materialistic confused girls who value the wrong things in! I choose BEYONCE and KEYSHIA COLE because I felt they were the epitome of the " dime" vs. the "around the way girl" and thats all!
