Friends vs. Associates: How Do You Know Who’s Who?

tlccd_e_jpgw_h

Friend is a term that I see thrown around carelessly on a daily basis. I think that as children, we are ingrained with the notion that friend should be used in a broad sense. Anyone that you didn’t hate, but knew randomly, was a friend. As we grow older and experience these so-called friends disappoint, deceive, and [...]

The Friend Zone: Where Good Men Are Punished for Being Good Men

The Friend Zone

Let me open by stating that men and women can be friends. That issue, as far as I am concerned, is dead. However, you will find that women typically dictate the course of these “friendships.” Telling a man who likes you as more than a friend that you see him as “just a friend” is the [...]

I Need My Personal Space (Only Child Syndrome and More) feat. The Most Interesting Man in the World

A man asks for his space and now it's the silent treatment.

  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 [...]

Girls Are Not Your Friend

ciara-and-the-dream- just friends

I don’t want to be friends with any woman. If I am your friend it’s because A) I screwed up somewhere along the line or B) we’re related. I’m not talking about work associates or we have a class together buddy. I’m talking friend. My homie has nearly 80 bbm contacts 70 something are cute [...]

Habitual Line-Steppers like Delonte West

There should never be a rumor that someone slept with your mother on the street. And why would you want to have sex with your running buddy’s mother? This is not American Pie, it is not cool for Finch to sleep with your mom. Especially when she’s not that hot, at all. Have you ever [...]

Let’s Be Friends

right coast lex steel rcls

The title of today’s post is the bullsh*t line most people hear during a break up in between the other bullsh*t lines of  “It’s not you, it’s me” and “I’d rather have you as a friend than not in my life at all.”  (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.)   Unless one [...]

Why I Will Never Play Matchmaker Again!

Me: What’s up? Miss Esquire: What’s up with your boy J? Me: What do you mean? Miss Esq.: Your boy that you introduced me to at Pranna? Me: Oh you mean Mike? Miss Esq.: Yeah, he call himself being slick. He invited me out to the movies and can you believe that he decided to [...]

Dr. J, How would you classify my friend?

To date, the terms; Gold Digger, Groupie and Jumpoff have been thrown around local nightclubs and social circles way too loosely. It would surprise you that most people can’t really define any of the terms. Most people say that it’s like porno, “I can’t tell you what it is, but I know when I see [...]

The Claim Game: Revisited

*** Admin Note *** A little “snafu” earlier this week cause Streetz’ masterpiece to get posted way to late in the day (yeah … I f*’d up … I got a lot going on). So … enjoy it all over again – SBM ******************* Whether you hit a house party, a club, wedding, or other [...]

The Claim Game

black_love_2

Whether you hit a house party, a club, wedding, or other social gathering with groups of friends, you’ll always come across a team of  people that the crew is feeling. One of the funniest situations between men and women when it comes to courting, is something I like to call “The Claim Game”. We, have [...]
