The Source For Black Male Perspective
Last Thursday, WIM presented us with his list of the 10 most critical #ManLaw Commandments. All of ‘em had me doing the Hallelujah dance in the Church of Latter Day SBM. But there was 1 in particular that caught my attention and led me to the post for today: 5. Come to us with a [...]
Let me paint a picture for you: You get a woman’s phone number/bbm and you start chatting. You hit her with all your classic lines, your charm, and she’s FEELING it! You have no doubt in your mind that you can and will score. You set up a rendezvous with this woman, and have a [...]
