April 16, 2014 DamnPops

Most times when I begin to write, I listen to a song or two just to get my mind right. Today the ipod was on shuffle and “Tap Out” comes on. How fitting, right? Maybe it’s more ironic considering today’s discussion. Last week I wrote a post entitled “Ladies, This Can be Why Round 2 […]

October 31, 2013 DamnPops

I have a question for everyone and I want your opinion. Do you think most women feel that they are “wifey” material? I’m inclined to feel that most women feel that they are entitled to the wonderful world of monogamy, and that they may not play a part in the reasons as to why they […]

August 15, 2013 DamnPops

HBO has outdone themselves with the summer series Documentary called “Americans In Bed.” Americans In Bed chronicles ten couples and their stories of love and how they arrived at that place.

Levels To This Ish: Dating versus Hanging Out

July 18, 2013 DamnPops

Over the last couple weeks a whole lot has been made about the subject of dating. Last week Ms. Keita Wheats wrote a great discussion piece. It dealt with the blurred lines in respect to what a first date really was. It was evident that there has to be clearer discourse between men and women. […]

Why Do Women End Most Relationships Before Men?

June 17, 2013 WisdomIsMisery

Last week, I wrote about the fact that black men and women take longer than every other race to get married. What I didn’t touch on in that post is according to a Census Report from 2011, blacks also have the highest divorce rate (see table below). There isn’t a census study on divorce initiations by […]
