Don’t Be a Flower Dude

Back in the Leave it to Beaver days, it was customary when a gentleman took a young lady out he would come to her door with a dozen roses and a box of chocolates.
It was his way of “courting” her and impressing her family.  Fast forward to 2010 where Rick Ross is considering “love making” music and things have change a little bit.
Men have changed and women have changed.

A lot of people believe when I am talking about reggiewayning I am saying you should never spend money on a woman.
That would be untrue.

Sex is Like Boxing

Fellas sex is like boxing and lets be real none of us are undefeated. Many suffered a lot of first round knockouts, but that is about to change.
It is time we stop being “Glass Joe” and start being the champ.
Make no mistake, women hold the belts. They have what we want. They are the star attraction.
We are contenders who have to fight our way up the ranks (dates, gifts, long conversations we don’t want to have, going to her stupid family BBQ & etc) to get that title …

Black Men + White Women = Truth

You might not like what I am about to write, but it needs to be written and I think I am uniquely qualified to handle this subject.
Until I was 14 years old the only white women I ever saw was at my mom’s job.  Then I was shipped off to a private catholic predominantly white High School where in four years there was only seven black girls that attended  the school (and they weren’t cute).  From that point I moved on to The Ohio State University the second biggest university …

My Dissertation on Black Women

What is ironic when I posted a picture of Reggie Bush on the cover of Essence shirtless on BlackSportsOnline I did it because I thought women would like it.  Little did I know the controversy it would start.
I have Google alerts set up so I know any time people are talking about me or any of my various projects (you will be shocked how many people mention break lamps and nohos in a day).
In is very rare that a twitter conversation sets off an alert, but after the very long …

The 10 BonaFide Commandments For The Cheating Man

THE 10 BONA FIDE COMMANDMENTS FOR THE CHEATING MAN:
I- THOU SHOULDN’T CHEAT.
Cheating is wrong. If you are in a committed relationship and you cheat then why were you in the relationship in the first place?
Sounds simple right? Unfortunately as men our urge to break lamps is very strong. Which is why I estimate out of every 10 men you talk to 9 of them have cheated at least once in their past and I will tell you why.
Men cheat because it is genetic, women have no clue how …

I have the answer ladies, so I suggest you take out your pad and pen because I am about to save some relationships (or destroy some, but I digress).

The Opposite Sex Contract

I am a sports journalist, so it isn’t unusual for me to equate matters of the heart with sports analogies. One of my favorites to explain to people, and now to you, is the art of:

“Contract Negotiations”
This is going to be told from a male perspective, but it can apply to anyone because the premise is the same.
When a team has the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft, that team will spend millions of dollars and many hours scouting to make sure their pick will be the one that …

Relationships in The Age of Ambiguity

Welcome to 2010: The Age of Ambiguity. Well, in regard to relationships, that is. I recently took an impromptu poll amongst friends in the 21-35 age range and learned something that I’ve suspected for quite some time… None of them are technically in a relationship. Now, don’t get me wrong – all of the people that were polled seem to be in some fascimile of a relationship. If my opinion were asked, I would label them as being in a relationship. In reality? None of these people sat down and …

I’ve been lucky to be the recipient of good times, great drinks, and even greater love of some amazing men friends. Some I have lost contact with as I’ve run through the years and boyfriends, but as long as I remember, I’ve had a guy friend only a phone call away. They’ve all had different personalities, appearances, characteristics, and always the varying sexualities, but they all have been there for me. Some more than my women friends. This is not unusual. I’m certain you all have friends of the opposite …
