Does The Word "Hustler" Suggests One Is A Criminal

[Borrowdale Barron]

Why do some women suspect you are running a criminal enterprise if you tell them I am a hustler after she asks you what is your line of work?

 

[Black Panther]

The word "hustle" these days actually has a negative connotation. So them daiges are right. ?

If you watch contemporary movies and web series, you will understand that "hustle" has criminal/crime undertone.

But doesn't that depend on its usage by different people -- you know how certain words can mean something else in different parts of the world because of culture and whatnot.

It's the same everywhere. For example, in the U.S it has that "selling coke, heroin, pills and other drugs" undertone.

Facts ? "hustle" sounds bad globally. It’s called semantic progression, Words change meaning over time.

No woman in her right mind should take any man seriously who responds to a question about what he does by saying he is a 'hustler.'

That's a dead giveaway.

What if the roles are reversed and she describes herself as a slay queen and a lover of things?

Still, that's self-explanatory. What more do you need to know? She is basically telling you she is a high maintenance daige -- so 'no finance, no romance' or better yet 'no money, no honey!' ??

Worse still if that slay queen says on her sosho media bio profile she is an entrepreneur with "CLIENTS." -- boy, oh boy. ?

Clients... ummm m'kay.

'Client' isn't as negative as compared to 'hustler' though. But I understand where you are coming from. Perhaps slowly with time it will eventually get there.

'Hustle' or 'hustler' doesn't sound reputable anymore! Of course, there's informal and formal English. And then there's slang. However, 'hustle' still just doesn't sound right.

Running a legit business does not mean you're not fraudulent, some legit business owners are fraudulent too.

My point is that it's better to make money that will give you peace. This is why most women tend to shun men who are hustlers because they don't want to deal with any drama that comes with it.
