The Source For Black Male Perspective
Today’s post is a Guest Post from a good friend of mine, Ayanna Abrams, Psy. D. She graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and is completing a postdoctoral fellowship as a Psychotherapist at Emory University Student Counseling Ctr. I thought this would be a good way to present this post. I had long thought about [...]
I recently watched the movie, She’s Out of My League. It’s actually pretty good. I will qualify that compliment with the fact that I began watching it with the lowest of expectations, so you may want to keep that in mind. At one point in the movie, the characters break down the spread one [...]
If you believe this; I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn, I would love to sell you. “Because if you gonna do something egregious, you might as well go balls to the wall. If not, just be the hot ass mess that you are.” That’s one of my favorite quotes. There are those situations that we find ourselves in that cause us a [...]
Double Standards are everywhere! I mean … some of them really suck … some of them are helpful … some of them just …well, don’t make sense. Most of the people that complain about double standards benefit from some of them simultaneaously. Double Standards are everywhere when it come to the sexes. There are [...]

Then, months, or years later, something happens. It’s almost inevitable. Because we men [...]
I had just finished dropping some groceries off at my grandmother’s house when I said in frustration, “I actually have to get going because I got a million errands to run today, I’m about to take my phone home and leave it there.” The only part that was frustration was the fact that I [...]
One of the more interesting things I’ve noticed over the past few years has been the particular set of struggles and tribulations experienced by women whose moral code is the most influencing factor in their love life. These are women who desire romantic connections as deeply as anyone else but who also have a strict [...]
The most common question I’m asked by my single friends is: “How did you know that she was the one?” This is the holy grail of questions when it comes to choosing to settle down with a woman and, not surprisingly, the answer is not so simple. In today’s post I want to talk about [...]
It’s probably not a good idea as a relationship blogger to admit this, but there are a few things I just don’t get about men. Why they lie about the dumbest things, why they seem to love crazy girls, and why they always come slithering out of their holes after they’ve left you. But if [...]
