“If you wish to join the Association, you should feel free to do so through www.sweetboys association.com”, the president stated.
Meanwhile many twitter users have reacted to the formation of this Association. According to some of them “Sweet Boys Association is an association for guys who are good looking and trendy”, but some see the group as “just low budget gigolos and male slay queens who make their money off women as they manipulate the unsuspecting ladies”.
The women on twitter feel that so long as men have turned every label that women try to own into derogating word, case in point, slay queen and small girl, big God, as a result, they have decided to turn the tables and do some sweet boys association. Some even went as far as twitting the urban dictionary meaning of sweet boys and the definition is derogatory.
