Hate Is NOT Always Hating – Sometimes It’s Just Being HONEST [By: Mista Harsh]

Categories: Guest Contributor

No. This is not an article patting myself on the pack, nor am I a smarmy know-it-all. I’m extremely honest. For people with this quality you’ll often find yourself engaged in a broad spectrum from intriguing debates to heated arguments simply because you tried to tell the truth. Read More

Ladies, If Your “Girlfriends” Aren’t Helping You Move FORWARD – They Are Pulling You BACKWARDS [By: Independent Woman]

Categories: Guest Contributor

Every night I come home after work, step out of my dress clothes into something more comfortable (a pink sweatsuit for the pervy men reading this!), and check my PVR to see what good shows I missed during my 12-hour workday.

Categories: Guest Contributor

Earlier this year, my girlfriend and I went to breakfast and discussed the issues we have encountered on the dating scene and have heard from various different individuals alike.
