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 [...]
I’ll be honest with you. I haven’t given too much thought to the overall wedding process. It’s always been one of those things that I knew I’d experience when the time was right, but I haven’t fantasized about what it’ll be like to take a knee and ask her to trust me with the rest [...]
I’ve got tons of friends, but contrary to the way others might approach their friends, I manage my friends with expectations. Some people use categories such as; associates, acquaintances, homies, friends, or whatever other terms they develop to explain their relationship with a person, but I use expectations. For this very reason, there are many [...]
I Worry. If I don’t grind hard enough, I won’t be rich. If I don’t set at least 2 alarms, I’ll miss my flight. Sh*t happens and I try hard to make sure it doesn’t happen to me. Now I find myself about to get married. I am about to commit the rest of my [...]
I always knew I would get married. But Jay lied to you. I didn’t see her across a room and think “I’m going to marry that”. I did not envision our kids before I knew her name. Marriage was the furthest thing from my mind … 90% of men are slowly drug into marriage, usually [...]

Today’s post is part of a new series: Engaged Black Male. I’ll talk about being engaged, my upcoming life of commitment, and all of the thoughts [...]
Your television set is obsessed with showing you other people’s faults so that you spend time telling yourself that you’re at least better than that person. That’s why reality TV is so popular and the shows have nothing to do with where they began. Think about this logically, the shows that we grew up watching [...]
Recently a married friend of mine admitted she cheated on her husband with an ex-boyfriend. The affair lasted about 6-months before she called it off. She didn’t think her husband would ever find out and she didn’t have any plans of ever telling him. However, she admitted that every time she looks at her husband now [...]
I listen to a syndicated talk radio show and it seems like their sole purpose is to come up with inflammatory questions to ask their listeners each week.
