5 Things You Need to Unlearn About Men
Many moons ago, I wrote a piece titled the 7 Myths About Women That Men Really Hate and I’ve always meant to do one on men but never got around to it. Well I’ve gotten around to it and put together a short list of long-standing stereotypes about men that have had their run. Let’s put these myths to bed. Speaking of beds… [Black] men are well endowed I don’t spend a lot of time in men’s locker rooms nor have I been accused of being a wiener-screener or pecker-checker. Having said that, I think black men get a bad rap for having a full…er,…umm…package. Now hold on, I know what you’re…

6 Ways Women can Avoid Needless Drama in Their Lives
After having written Dear Men, Here’s 6 Simple Ways to Avoid Foolishly Ruining Your Lives, I would be remiss if I didn’t do the same for the softer sex. Let’s get right to it. Have Children too Young ‘Young’ can be open to interpretation and be quite a broad adjective. Allow me to be more specific in terms of what ‘young’ is meant here. And I won’t define it as ‘not being ready’ because you could be 32 years old making a very desirable salary, be totally financially independent and still not ready to have a child. If this were to occur you under these circumstances as described above, at least you would…

6 Ways Men can Avoid Needlessly Ruining Their Lives
I’m going to rewind to the age of 7. I was young, impressionable, had a ravenous appetite for reading, and I was in carefree mode (as all young kids are). I was watching a show called Zoobilee Zoo – go on Youtube to check it out (if you’re over 30 you should know the show). Anyhow, one of the characters made a mistake that cost him a friendship (for the duration of the show). The obligatory sing-a-long came at the end about making mistakes. The chorus was: “It’s a fact of life that you have to face, People maaaaakeeee mistakes” . There’s nothing wrong with making a mistake. Plain and simple we all tend…

Relationship Over? Why Great sex can Make it Cheaper to Keep Her
So you’ve come to terms with the inevitable – you’re dissatisfied with your relationship and/or partner and you want them both to be over. So what do you do? End your relationship, right? Seems easy enough. Everyone has contemplated a break up and has actually gone through with it at least once in their lifetime. But what is the true outcome once the relationship is over? Do you stand to gain or lose? In my decades on this planet I have gone through, seen, and heard my share of growing pains dealing with the trials and tribulations of the opposite sex. “It’s cheaper to keep her” I heard this expression…

21 Men Confess Their Sexual Deal Breakers & Turn Offs
Cortonio (yes I’m referring to myself in the 3rd person) figured he’d go a different direction this time with this post. But seriously, I recently read an article about women and their sexual deal breakers, so I figured why not do a post on men and feature their responses. Honestly, I was pretty curious as to the types of answers I would get, so I came up with a plan. Basically, I polled a number of men from varying age groups over the course of a week. Some I knew personally, others were random attendees from a social event I attended and a few others were literally just passers by. It…

Love Or Money – Which is More Important in Your Relationship?
Guy #1: “Yo I’m telling you relationships and marriage, especially marriages are investments”. Guy #2: “Dawg what are you talking about? You’re jaded man, marriage is and should be based on love…not money”. Guy #1: “No think about it, a marriage is like a business because…” This was a conversation I was involved in but didn’t have much to add as I was rather drawn into the viewpoints of it. I sat there taking it all in listening intently as these brothers used metaphors on marriages and the aspect of money. It went on for a while with lots of good banter back and forth. I had to think and…

The Subtle Ways a Man Shows he Adores You
“Her” – What is she? Who is she? My partner in crime Mr. SoBo wrote a masterful piece on “Her – The One Your Parents Never Told you About” and how she can be that man’s kryptonite. I’m sure plenty ladies sit and wonder to themselves: Was I ever Her? Will I ever be Her? Why haven’t I truly been someone’s Her? Some women know what it’s like and some don’t. Whether or not it’s deservedly so isn’t really for me to say. Now, not every man will do all these things mentioned below nor will it mean you are any less special to him if he doesn’t do these things. It truly depends…

The 6 Benefits of Going on a Date Alone
You have that ‘talk’ with your girl who is now going to become your ex. She didn’t want to be in a relationship anymore so now you’re single. You were a loyal guy throughout your relationship and spurned advances from other women; hence you have no one to turn to as a back up option. So…what do you do now? Well people have always contended (especially for women) that now is the time to get to know yourself. And dating yourself is probably not a bad idea at all. Am I saying it’s better to be single? No. But there are some benefits of actually practicing this endeavor. Such as…. You…

10 Movie Titles You Don’t Want Synonymous With Your Relationship
” I now pronounce you man and wife” “Will you marry me?” “What do you say we take this further” Nice words to hear aren’t they. Now during the course of our relationships we all go through a lot and do copious amounts of thinking. Can we improve this? Should we fix that? Did we spend too much on this? I wonder what he would think if I did that? Would she like this for her birthday? You can go all day. However, during the course of your deep reveling in thought have you thought about what you wouldn’t want in your relationship? Seriously, and if you’re a movie buff…

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…
