SingleBlackMale.org isn’t your typical sex & relationship blog. It’s a diverse group of six Black men providing perspective on single life, dating, and marriage in addition to less discussed topics like health, empowerment, and networking. Who knew it was possible to get that many Black men on the same page and agenda for a common goal? You ain’t seen this since the Million Man March! SingleBlackMale.org is “The Source For Black Male Perspective.” Come join us 5 days a week to laugh, debate, get edutained, and maybe even get your feelings bruised. Because hey, the truth hurts. Now that we got the site formalities out the way, let us take a few to introduce ourselves:

Black men think about more than just sex (it’s true) and relationships, so I write about any and everything. Sometimes I’m funny. Sometimes I’m serious. Sometimes I scribe what everybody else is thinking, but doesn’t want to say. I’m also the most introspective of the bunch (Pisces Power), so I like to go deep. Pause.
Oh yeah, I’m from Upstate New York (not prison), but currently living in Harlem. I did a five year stint in Boston, which led me to believe smart black people don’t like to talk to each other. That led me to desperately seek jobs in NYC until I landed one and became a much happier person…who became the basis for a movie on Lifetime…who became an overnight celebrity…who then lost it all because of an addiction to sour patch kids…who was then relegated to appearances on VH-1.
Sean “SBM” Blackman – Founder of SBM
I’m single. I’m black. I’m a male. Being single all my life isn’t my goal … but I’m loving it now and its makes a catchy site name
Born in DC, raised in Maryland, with some prolonged visits around the country … I have amassed theories, observations, and beliefs on dating, love & life. The internet is the best medium to share ideas with the rest of the world, so I promise to deliver advice, theories, observations … but most importantly … A look at dating, love, & relationships from a Young Black & Male perspective … a rarity.
Me … I’m in my mid 20′s and a recent college grad. I’m your typical “knowledge worker” in Washington, D.C. I’m a programmer by trade and an undercover nerd, but my “Billy Dee Like” personality masks all of that.
If you want honest talk … from a male perspective … you have found the place.
Mr. Spradley aka TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld – Content Editor
Ok, so, I’m not really TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld – not yet anyway but I do think I’m a pretty interesting guy. I also look nothing like the old dude in my avatar. In real life, I’m a twenty something black man trying to carve his own niche in this world. I’ve been happily married almost half a decade, and I think my wife is happy too. Here on singleblackmale.org I try to add that married perspective along with a dash of social commentary to the usual debauchery we get into ’round these parts.

I’m a worldly individual with a New York State of mind. If you ever felt like your life was a movie, sitcom, drama, and documentary combined, then we share something in common. From my travel stories, to the crazy world of sex and dating, I chronicle these hilarious, controversial, and off the wall experiences to the internets through blogging. I cover my random thoughts and opinions via Streetztalk.net. You can also find my collection of the craziest things on and offline at MrWriteNowWhen I’m not writing about sex and relationships, I’m tackling various aspects of entertainment, fashion, and hip hop culture at The Foxx Files. Why? Why not?!

Dr. J… I’m really trying to find the words to sum it up, but I can’t. I go by several names, the Doctor, Jay Jack, or most notably, We Love. (Ladies do me a favor, please refer to me as We Love, it really pisses off the fellas.) Anyway, I’m here to bring the noise. My style is no nonsense, tell you the truth straight up. I’m all about real talk. I’m the type of dude who tells you about the stereotypes and then tells you why there’s nothing you can do about it. I don’t have a problem telling you to your face that you are less than wifey material or high maintenance and will not find a man. However, I also don’t have problem putting the men on notification for their Tom Foolery. What am I trying to say? I guess, I just want you to know I’m here to give you the advice you need, not necessarily want. Dr. J is now taking walk-ins.

Hello, my name is WisdomIsMisery and I rights reel good.
I am a Scorpio. This does not matter much to me but some people seem to think it explains everything, so I like to get that fact out of the way. I was also born and raised in the Great State of Texas. Once more, this seems to explain a lot about me for some people.
WisdomIsMisery the man, the legend, the writer is a byproduct of Generation Y – an 80s baby – and proud of it. I do not know everything but I know a little about a lot and a thing or two about a thing or three. I am not always right but, in my mind, I am seldom wrong. For better or for worse, I am not shy about giving my opinion and I rarely, if ever, apologize for doing so.
