Men

To be completely honest, something has to be done about men who have children with multiple women without any means to take care of them. I’m sure the chances of those children ending up in bad situations later on in life sky rockets when you have an absentee parent who compounds the mistake by not providing any […]

Why Do Men Kiss and Tell?

May 8, 2014 Dr. J

A long time ago, I had an older guy friend who showed me the ropes once I arrived on the college campus scene. I attribute a lot of what I learned about courting women and how to keep women happy to this friend. He didn’t give me the traditional knowledge, my dad always provided that […]

Is Your Girl On Your Team Or Are You On Hers?

How Does He Decide That Your Relationship “Break” Can End?

April 25, 2014 Dr. J

This week I wrote a post over for the good folks over at MadameNoire. Now the premise of this post was what factors into when a man will go from the “we on a break” phase and get to the “let’s get back right” phase. Although I feel that ultimatums are the absolute worst […]

April 11, 2014 Dr. J

I came across this video today. Funny story, this weekend I was discussing what my plans were and whereas about 5-6 years ago I would think the sky is the limit it’s not anymore. My list of options involved more of the things I would not do rather than the things I would do. I’m […]

April 7, 2014 Dr. J

I think it’s important that we realize that a lot of the behavior that goes on between both genders is predicated on the simple premise that it’s allowed.
