Where You Can Find Me


Damn, He Got A Point "The Pioneer" (C.W. Post) Newspaper
 In 2010 I had already been blogging for about a year. Going into my fifth and last year of undergrad I was looking to add a new experience. I wanted to have some experience writing for a publication. Secondly I thought that writing for students on my campus would add a great dimension to my articles. At this link you'll find all the material I wrote for that publication during my final year. Feel free to check it out.

Damn, He Got A Point -Viral Status Magazine
In August of 2011 I was fresh out of college. Upon leaving I got an opportunity to write for this young up and coming online magazine.Upon graduation a friend of mine encouraged me to continue writing. This opportunity arose and I decided to take it. I still write for Viral Status from time to time. I encourage you all to take a look at some of my material there.

Single Black Male
In February of 2013 I was able to publish my first post on Single Black Male. A quick back story is that when I first started blogging in 2009 some of the writers on this site were people who definitely influenced me. A girl I was dating back then would send me links to a site called "Bitchie Life." It was a site run by famous blogger Necole Bitchie. On there you had blog entries from a bunch of different writers. the subjects varied. What this girl would send me were links to the relationship columns. Dr.Jay and Rich Jones were two guys whom I read so much from. Four years later it's been a pleasure to contribute to a site in which they do the same. Check out my latest material here, feel free to leave comments.

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...
