It Ain't Rocket Science


Viral media ladies and gentlemen, viral media is here to stay! You would think with that we should all govern ourselves accordingly. Now with the advances of the internet and mobile technology information is sent out faster than the HOV lane during rush hour. Now for the last few years blogs have been flooded with "leaked" x rated photographs of celebrities. There's no question that these type of things are happening more often than ever more recently; I finally have something to say about it.

Now I will be the FIRST to tell you that I in no way mind these pictures...in fact I love them; I said it. Seeing the art and beauty that is Amber Rose, Kelly Rowland, and Rihanna etc. is quite fine with me. There is however a problem when you're constantly being caught in compromising positions or if your private stashes are constantly being "leaked."

Simply being out and about today I thought of this topic and then I thought that this whole issue is deeper than just leaked photos. This type of thing now commonly occurs and it's time people adapt. This not only goes for celebs but even people like you and me. This issue boils down to trust, who you trust with those fragile type things. It's evident many celebrities aren't responsible with who sees certain pictures or who they're sent to. If you're constantly in this predicament then change it. You need to start being intimate with a different type of person. This whole thing is an issue of respect, and if someone respects you they wouldn't so something that damaging as to air your private business in such a way. What sparked this post was a tweet I received from my friend Grace. The tweet was a link to see new leaked photos of Amber Rose. Now without question I was hype, I have no problem seeing Amber Rose naked. But I began to also think... well damn pictures of her just came out a few weeks ago. She has to try and control what she's putting out there, for her sake at least. As for right now I will continue to enjoy, but you all be smart with who you send the "good stuff" to ;-).

Be good

    Um...yeah, i doubt very highly that the majority of these "leaked" celeb photos are actually leaked at all. Its just another way of staying relevant. All publicity is good publicity as they say. So for (most) celebs, i think your advice is pretty much a moot point.

    But for the random people in the world that are keeping the "exposeing smuts" pages on fb in business by sending pics of themselves (or allowing themselves to be photographed/recorded doing nasty things), i think someone needs to step in and talk to these young girls. Cuz THAT is definitely getting out of control. It was bad enough when you heard Susie Q did xyz by word of mouth but literally, its nothing now to get on the 'net and see random naked photo of random teenage (sometimes even preteen, im inclined to believe) girl. Its sad. And definitely why i have no desire to have daughters.

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...
