Here’s an exchange between two people that I witnessed a few days ago: Person 1: “Yo shut the fcuk up. Get up outta my face!” Person 2: “What ni**a? Fcuk you! Eh yo suck my di*k lame a$$ ni**a”! Was this an exchange between: A) Two men B) A man and a woman If you guessed ‘B’ you’re right. The harsh proposition for oral sex was actually done by the woman in the argument.

Is Your Manhood in Check? Things That Make a Man Look Weak
Men in general since the beginning of time have been instilled with the the gene to be the provider, protector, and that stubborn “I can do it without any help” attitude – basically when you know you’re in a bind and your woman tries to help you and you shut her down. Men also have been injected with that medicine called ‘male pride’. *Disclaimer now some men can be no good pieces of crap and could care less about anyone but themselves*. All in all, even if it means putting their foot in their mouths, or having ‘egg on their face’, as long as a man feels he stuck to…

Guy Code: 10 Unspoken Rules Men Should Follow
Last week I wrote the post, “10 Rules Women Should Generally Follow” which were my cheeky additions to the unwritten ‘Woman Code’. So of course it’s only fair that I put the spotlight on the men and our unwritten ‘Man Code’ with this post. Here goes.
