Single Black Women and Workplace Sexual Harassment
In an effort to “be nice” or out of fear of retaliation, single women allow men on their jobs to speak to them disrespectfully, touch them, or make crude comments or jokes. Women are also blamed for men’s behavior and feel guilty as they question what they did to “make him” take such illegal liberties. I’m here to tell you that no matter how small and insignificant others may view the emotional or psychic pain you feel after being subjected to such nasty behaviors, you are the ultimate decider of what is injurious. No one else gets to decide that for you!
How Do Relationships Become “Official” These Days?
Single men and women must never assume that they have a committed relationship or a “boyfriend/girlfriend” just because they’ve been on 5, 10 or even 500 dates, slept together, are living together, or have even had a baby. Unless the details of their association have been discussed in great detail, expectations and abilities to meet said expectations have been ironed out, and both parties sign on the dotted line, there is no “relationship.”
Why Did The Almighty Waste Ears on Men When They Never Listen Anyway?
Men wonder why women file for 75% of the divorces in this country.

Older Woman/Younger Man… How Old is TOO Old?

Really, women are more suited for dating younger men, and every woman over 35 should let her Inner Cougar out!
Why Are So Many Women Opting to STAY Single?
The vision that most people have of marriage and what they expect to get out of such a union is nothing but a mirage… a vision that they imagine exists but which does not and probably never has. Alvin Hollinger III and Deborrah Cooper give their gender-based opinions on single women and the issue of marriage.
Are Black Men Judgmental Haters of Black Women?
My Dad raised me to never worry about pleasing other people or to care what they thought about anything with regards to me. Too many women did not get that message, and bend themselves into pretzels with each new man they meet, trying in vain to be “good enough” for him. Women need to be whatever they want to be as long as they are happy and satisfied, and stop trying to be the fantasy woman of men’s dreams. It never works anyway.
Time to Dismantle The Jump Off
I hate texting. A few months ago I met a guy that seemed really cool. Tall, good looking, single father raising his daughter, well educated, with a great family and job. We went out on one lunch date, then talked on the phone a few times. He was wonderful face to face and fine […]
Interracial Dating: Black Men with Non-Black Women
Over the past 10 years, the numbers of African American women that have dated and married White men has dramatically increased. I believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that Black women are tired of waiting for Black men to choose them, to commit, to love.
