Wifey, according to Urban Dictionary is "A REAL Lady, Not your only but your favorite, different from them hood rat chicks. Wife Material".
Well honestly, this term is bullshit. I hate it with all of my being and more. And to be quite frank, I don't ever hate anything because it goes against who I am as a person... hence the idiocy that comes with this term. Now let's define the word a little more so that our generation can truly rethink its usage.
So, "wifey" is a new term to describe a girl that is of wife material. She has goals, she is driven, and most of all she is loyal. Basically, she portrays most if not all the characteristics and qualities of a wife. What could be wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. In fact, there is no problem with this newly invented term. The issue lies deep within people that use it, for they (being the current male population) often misuse this term for young woman that are too naive. Let me put this in perspective: a young couple has been seeing each other for some time now. They go out, they have fun, they are intimate. The young man labels the girl he is seeing as wifey to all of his friends... meaning she displays relationship qualities even though they are far from dating and probably won't ever. She is not what men would define her as a "hoe," "thot" or "bitch." To say the least, this is a pathetic compliment to the young woman. But even still there comes disappointment with the way the young man will use this term. For instance, as he continues to see his "wifey", he will also continue to sleep around with other girls because he is technically not tied down to just her. He does so because he receives all the relationship benefits with this young woman, but does not have to put in the effort for anything else.
Essentially, "wifey" is an idiotic term targeted towards naive young woman that do not understand their self-worth quite yet, for if they did, they wouldn't waste their time with those that categorize them as such. Henceforth, I am truly sick and tired of hearing this term being tossed around. There should not be a distinguished factor between woman you just sleep with and woman that portray relationship qualities. All people, men and woman, need to truly rethink our current dating habits and be honest about what is wanted. Consequently, we are only hurting ourselves in the end.
All in all, the term coined as wifey is not necessarily a negative thing. I believe that the literal meaning is admirable and is supposed to target woman with self-confidence, worth and independence. However, I have found that most of this generation has de-valued the word. Consequently, to notion a woman as "wifey" is disrespectful due to the situations that arise from it.
