The Source For Black Male Perspective
If you’re a man like me, you’ve known this woman. You’ve bought her drinks at the bar, she’s sat across the table from you on dates, and she’s laid next to you in bed. She’s been a lover, a significant other, a friend with benefits. She’s perfect, possessed with everything you might ever desire in [...]
Let’s be honest, we can’t get away from it. We’ll probably be dealing with the fad until at least the end of the month. If you guys follow me on Twitter, @DrJayJack, you know that I despise trending topics. I only get involved with a trending topic every once in a while, just to show [...]
