It’s been just over a week since I moved from my small Harlem abode to my brolick Brooklyn apartment. And I couldn’t be happier. What I’m not happy about is the process of unpacking. It sucks. A lot. And as much as I hate to admit it, I’m prone to mini bouts of hoarding. I’ve [...]
On April 23, 2013 France passed their “Marriage For All” law that extends marriage and adoption rights to gay couples. France is the 14th country in the world to pass such a law. I couldn’t be happier for France because rights such as this shouldn’t be limited to certain parts of a country but should [...]
It’s so easy for us to give up faith in relationships. Many of us have thought about quitting several times. People will tell you, “When you fall off a horse, you have to get back on.” That’s provided you haven’t concluded that you don’t even want to be on that damn horse. Relationships can be [...]
Women far and wide hate having to approach men. Whether it’s a fear of rejection or some trite quotation stating how “women don’t find men, men find women,” most women are content with leaving the “hunting” to the men. Every once in a while though, a woman will find herself in a predicament where she [...]
For those of you who have grown with me and the site, you remember “simping” and my hatred of all simps, living and dead. I wait for the day where I can freely throw around “simp” and have it understood by all, but until then … you get the definition. Simp: A man that puts himself [...]
Let’s crunch some numbers. According to the most recent Census data, the median paycheck for Americans is $26,364, which means half of Americans made more and half made less. If most women can’t see themselves dating a man who makes $26,000 or less, then we have our answer: No, the average man cannot afford a girlfriend. [...]

Many will personally experience or know someone that has or will experience the role of step-parent or having a step parent. Like many things in life, there is no cut and dry, right or wrong way to parents. However, there are certain rules we can follow (or not follow) to make the experience better or worse for [...]
All along it was a fever A cold sweat hot-headed believer I threw my hands in the air and said, “Show me something,” He said, “If you dare come a little closer.” There are some lucky people who meet the person of their dreams and go on to lead a normal life. Normal lives aren’t [...]
There’s one conversation we hate having with that one ex who always could make us feel that way. Especially if they know their former bf/gf has a new #him or #her. I’m not talking about a specifically sexual way, even though they probably were top shelf with that as well. I’m talking about the feeling where the two of us felt like Darius [...]
