A couple years ago, I remember one of my homegirls telling me that she was having a big problem with meeting men who STATED they were childless, but after a couple of conversations, dates, or even MONTHS, ended up revealing to her that they DO have children. She went on to say that this was one of the hardest parts of dating men these days, because once they live on their own and maintain minimal interaction with their kids (whether due to ... Read More

Anyone who has been following these 52 Week Pledge posts should know by now that I am an avid supporter of AVOIDING analysis-paralysis. This occurs when you are trying to achieve a goal, but you spend so much time overanalyzing every possible detail and every possible outcome, that you never eventually get around to beginning your dream-chasing journey. I am the kind of man that just wants to 'get right to it' but the PROBLEM with that way of thinking is that ... Read More

Last week, 33 students from the Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego were suspended for making a p*ssy-popping video on school grounds, using the school equipment to record it, and screaming out “Welcome to the Scripps Ranch High School Twerk Team!” all in the video. As anyone who frequents this site should know by now, the T-word is NO LONGER allowed to be used (it rhymes with "work" and it's the first word in the name of a ratchet dance crew). ... Read More

[caption id="attachment_13967" align="aligncenter" width="550"] "Dis gon' get me some pum-pum brah!"[/caption] As I sit here writing this with a lot on my mind and a lot of work that I need to get finished on tight deadlines, I'm seriously wondering what the HELL is going on in the world of dating lately - and why have more than two different women asked me 'why do men they just meet send unsolicited richard-pics before our first date even occurs?'. I know I've been off ... Read More

[caption id="attachment_13964" align="aligncenter" width="541"] Looks hard huh? Well, imagine both grew up in Trelawny...[/caption] There's a MILLION blogs all over the internet where people talk about interracial dating and how difficult it is and truthfully, I think it's ALL true. The reality is that racism, prejudice and stereotyping is still very alive and well in our community and there's nothing that will change that anytime soon. Not to sound like a downer, but our collective xenophobia as human beings is not just going ... Read More

Yes, the billboard above is VERY real. It's not a photoshop job, nor is it a prop for a Saturday Night Live skit or a parody movie from Shawn & Marlon Wayans - it's REAL. Believe it or not, there were MANY high level members of the Republican party who were genuinely SHOCKED that Mitt Romney lost to Barack Obama. Truthfully, the race was a lot closer than most Democrats expected it to be, but many outsiders looking in would have only ... Read More

On this week's podcast we talk about how it's a GOOD thing that 33 high school cheerleaders got suspended for p*ssy-poppin' on camera at school, why women need to NEVER utter the phrase "a real man...", and why some men are actually INTIMIDATED by women who make more money than them. Read More

The picture above is from Mountain Dew's new commercial created by "rapper" Tyler The Creator. I would love to show you a clip of the video, but that is NOWHERE to be found on these E-streets because it's been pulled by Mountain Dew's parent company, PepsiCo. Why you ask? Because after 1 short day of being on the internet, it was lauded by Dr. Boyce Watkins as "The Most RACIST commercial ever". Read More

I remember when I was 21 and fresh out of my first serious relationship, I was at a house party with some friends playing dominoes and, as usual, listening to old West Indian men giving us "young bucks" as much unsolicited relationship advice as we could handle. Around these times I was very unreceptive to these dudes messages because, like most people dealing with recent heartbreak, I was on my Eric Benet sh*t: F*^K everything (to steal a line from Joe Budden). ...

Recently I read an article in USA Today about women becoming the new breadwinners in modern American society, and some of the statistics within it were alarming. Wives are out-earning their husbands 28% of the time when BOTH work, up from 16% 25 years ago. Women earned 57% of bachelor's degrees, 60% of master's degrees and 52% of doctoral degrees in 2010 (and NO this is NOT race-based, this is EVERYONE). Also, when one spouse works full-time and the other stays home, ... Read More
