How Long Should you Wait for Him to Propose? | Ask The Men
Dear OpinionatedMale.com, “Hi. My name is Monica. I must say your blog is very interesting. I have a question. I’m 24 and in college, and from time to time I think about marriage. My grandmother always says to me, “A man should know within 6 months if he wants to marry you. If he doesn’t ask you by the first year, leave him because he is waiting for something better to come along“. I agree with her, but I feel it could be more of a challenge because the world is so different [now] compared to the past. I was thinking a year and a half..maybe two. From an adult males perspective,…

10 Signs it’s Time to Move Into Your own Place
Aaaahhhh…here we are. You have reached adulthood and now the side eye-ing, innuendos, and sarcastic snarky comments start from the folks. You are now being monitored when you partake in food; your pockets are being watched to see if you’ll contribute to the bills, and you seemingly have to walk on eggshells being around your parents. Well, when those incidents take place you know it’s about that time. Now I understand people live at home with their parents should ‘father time’ get the absolute best of them (although your social and every other aspect of your life will dwindle considerably, but they’re your folks…right?!). I also acknowledge some may stay…

9 Signs Your Man is a D.L.B. (Down Low Brotha)
A while back I was engaged in conversation (aren’t I always) with the brothers and we were talking about playing R&B in the car with your friends in tow. Would you? or Wouldn’t you? Although I did a piece on this sometime back, my mind went to the left and I was thinking what songs would you ABSOLUTELY not play while hanging with your bros. I am an R&B fan especially with the old school tracks, but some I’d refrain from. Now this song is definitely a No-No hands down and I’ll give you a little back story on it. My brother and I have a mutual friend and sometimes we share unconventional…

2 Reasons why You Should Avoid ‘Break Up Sex’
During my leisure time, which is seldom I might add, I was reading an article in a magazine on break up sex. And coincidentally a day or two later, I overheard some women on the transit talking about it. One of the women involved in the conversation seemed emotionally confused because she engaged in this with her ex, and at the same time, thought that there was a chance of them getting back together because of it. Maybe there was an ‘I love you’ thrown in, an ‘oh baby’ here, an ‘oh baby‘ there; who knows. Anyway, it may be the best sex you’ve ever experienced, and maybe you do…

Why is Florida so Cloudy for African Americans?
Is Florida The ‘Sunshine State’ For Negroes? If it is, why has it become so cloudy for African Americans – or was it always that way and we just never took off our sunglasses to find out? So unless you’ve been living on a deserted island for the last 2 years you would know about the tragic tales of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis and the outcomes that followed. I understand we all have to defend ourselves but I’ve never understood the overkill of an individual. How about the absurd notion of you having a gun, I have fists and you have to shoot to kill me? Here ‘s my gripe: Why is…

Kobe at it Again? Somebody get This Brotha a Onesie
“Kobe Bryant’s wrath hasn’t just been felt by the front office this season. His poor teammates have certainly not been spared, according to Nick Young: Nick Young shares Kobe Bryant’s recent trash talk: “I don’t talk to players on teams that are 20 games under .500.” – Excerpt courtesy of SlamOnline.com I wrote an article on Bryant last season questioning whether he was a good teammate or petulant whiner. Well he’s at it again, this time chiding his teammates for having a losing record. I’m not going to go into another Kobe rant but that quote says it all right here. You know what… I will rant one more time (I think). The bottom…
