Cybercheating??


http://www.ashleymadison.com/

The above website is a site that one of my homegirls put me on to. Ashleymadison.com is a website geared towards assisting people who are looking to have affairs. I think a lot of times websites,movies and music serve as a barometer to where society is at at the time. And it's my feeling that this site gives off a message than having affairs are welcomed. It has always been my mentality that if I want to be alone to be with who I want when I feel, I'd stay single. When I'm ready to put effort into a healthy relationship then I'd do the same. But why the affairs? I tell people around my age why rush for something serious? We have so much time to settle, but people really sweat these situations. I really was just taken back by seeing a site blatantly advocating and cheating, and consequently damaging marriages. This was just a quick observation, how you feel about it?

    yeah I heard about this site...it really made me uneasy. I dont know about condoning, let alone setting up, people in a relationship to cheat. All I can say is Karma is a bitch, and i dont play with her lightly

    They talked about this on Tyra! I haven't actually visited any sites. I'm not sure if I would like or need to see, but they even have some sites DEDICATED to married people looking to have affairs! Ridiculous.

Why Does The "WYD Guy" Exist and How Do We Get Rid of Him?

Image
It baffles me that in my late 20's I still hear stories about guys who lack conversational skills. I've alluded to this in past pieces, one of which you can check out here . That piece was written over 3 years ago. Today this type of guy is labeled as the "wyd guy." He's the dude that texts "wyd" ad nauseam throughout a given day.  Over the past few months, I've noticed that women continue to deal with this kind of person. I was curious to know what some experiences were like for you ladies. I reached out to a few good women to pick their brain. Hopefully you all share the goods. Let's get into it. Have you seen a decline in male conversational skills through the years? Tass :  First question. I haven't seen any studies suggesting a decline in the conversational skills of men. What I personally see is the continuation of low expectations and accountability for men unable to have strong communication skills outside of business/sport

Maybe Men Are Trash

Image
Admittedly, in younger years I was one of those "not all men" type of men.  Please bare with me as I feel the collective eye rolls of any woman reading this. But in recent times I'm noticing that what I was doing in those former moments was not taking myself out of the equation. At the time I thought that I was, but I really wasn't. In recent years, through my dating journeys and speaking with different women, I realize that there are just way too many horror stories about men out there. In the past I've touched on subjects like first date conversations , or the corniness of leaking nudes , or guys being selfish in bed , but the issues I continue to hear far surpass even any of those things. I mean I've heard stories of men lacking taking initiative or just not possessing common courtesy. Hell, men paying on dates still rile up anyone's timeline. I began to think that there are way too many egregious transgressions we commit as men to disagree with what th

Maybe A Man Should Love A Woman More Than She Loves Him?

Image
Courtesy: Everything Girls Love It's been 6 years since The Best Man Holiday released.  After going out to catch that movie, a conversation ensued where I heard the phrase that a man should love a woman more than she loves him. Naturally, I wrote about it. You can read the piece here.  At the time I didn't agree with the phrase and I saw it more at a surface level. But with time, experience and growth, I now view the phrase differently. Initially I felt like people should go into relationships as equals in pretty much every sense. But as of late, I've been thinking about what kind of man I'd want a future child of mine to date, or my niece, or any other lady family member for that matter. What began to occur was that I started thinking about what it means to date deliberately. What is trying to be accomplished? I realized that no matter what, I'm trying to convey that the said person is my clear choice. The whole idea of a man "loving" a
