Enough Already: If You Can’t Afford To Date Then Just Don’t Date

February 27, 2015 Dr. J

Y’all really intending on this never ending debate about $200 dates and plane tickets, aren’t you? That’s my reaction each time I see the Twitter timeline begin a discussion about if there is actually a preferred or correct range that one should spend on a date. I must say it is very difficult to have […]

Do We Even Need To Date Anymore?

August 29, 2014 Dr. J

Perusing the internet searching for a topic for this week’s blog I found a lot of the topics were all about the same thing. I think that most blog sites are always trying to convince people that something is missing or something went away that used to be here. Now at times they could be […]

Chivalry in the 21st Century

August 28, 2012 WisdomIsMisery

I’ll keep this short, SBM family. I was recently forwarded the following video over on Twitter called What Gentlemen Think. I had my doubts, but it turned out to be a pretty hilarious video. As a side note, it reminded me of an awkward encounter I had a few weeks ago as I stood dry-as-can-be under […]

I was out with Shonna at one of her favorite spots. We’d been there for about an hour. She was laughing. I was smiling. We were having the best night we’d had together since we started dating. I put my drink on the bar, and let her know I had to make a pit stop […]

Chivalry is Alive, But Accountability is Dying.

I was on Twitter yesterday doing what I normally do when Paul Brunson, the Modern Day Matchmaker, posted a question about chivalry. He cited a Yahoo/Maxim survey which stated that 55% of the women that participated didn’t believe chivalry was important. He asked what people thought and you can imagine what it turned into from […]

We have had numerous conversations on the topic of chivalry. The most classic being SBM’s warning shot and declaration against chivalry in all forms. I sat back and thought about it, and while there are some points I agree with, I feel that there are basic elements of chivalry for dummies that all men should […]

Where is my Dowry?!?!?!

Chivalry and the “old school way” of dating are hot topics here at SingleBlackMale.net. Apparently there are a lot of women lurking in the comments section who yearn for the old school chivalry (which is dead) that used to be so prevalent. They want to reminisce … Well … SBM wants to live in the […]

I was gonna take this day off and go relax … but comments yesterday forced me to say a few words on the subject. If there is one thing the “blogoshpere” is not lacking … its some woman begging, pleading, and compaining about chivalry, the lack of it, or why it has degnerated over time. […]
