Be Mine!!!


February 14th. NO! It's not just any old day is it? Sorry it isn't. For some it's a day filled with bliss, affection, romance, and admiration. And for others is just a plain old bad day. Of course if you haven't guessed by now, it's Valentine's Day. Whether you want to admit it or not, it's one of the days where most women want to be wanted. NOTHING is wrong with that. Problem is this reoccurring theme is my blogs about women not feeling good about themselves.
I say to the ladies that don;t have valentine's, don't ever be mad. How many people have a Valentine every year? I have gone years upon years where my only Valentine was my Mommy. I was fine with that. Some ladies are not so hot on this day due to past experiences with knuckleheads. I understand that too but life is what you make it. If you have no Valentine, then treat yourself. Pamper yourself, take yourself out, build yourself up. This day isn't about the guy that likes you, it should be more about loving yourself enough to give some love to someone else.
I want any lady who reads this to know that this day is highly commercialized, don't fall into those movie traps of over the top theatrics. If you ask me this is the day when you do the most sentimental thing for yourself or your Valentine. The littlest things can make the biggest of differences. One of the greatest lessons I learned in my life was from a High School Math teacher who always said "Pay attention to detail." Till this day that has paid off dividends for me. I wish all you lovely ladies a Happy valentine's day, and if I know you, you will be on my mind. So you can take my wishes personally. Have a great day, and hopefully.....a GOOD NIGHT!

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 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 ...

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...
