~ Gold Diggers & Beauty Seekers
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? And a man is well within his right to be attracted to whomever he deems beautiful. Everyone has their own preferences and someone nice to look at and date seems perfectly normal. A man sees a beautiful woman and he does whatever it takes to get her, in most cases. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. (more)
~ What Men Really Want
An Independent or a Self-sufficient Woman?
The bold statement of being an Independent Woman has died down a bit but the atmosphere of the movement hasn’t. “I can buy my own drink. I can pay my own bills. And I can take care of that other need (truth be told, better than you can) if need be.”
Interestingly enough, there were and are many men turned off by the ideology of the new millennium woman. Yes, real men still want to be needed and desired, and are not looking for a pass on taking care of their women. That is one blurred line they are not interested in. (more)

~ 4 Wrong Reasons to Get Married
You have concluded that you want to be married. Great! But have you asked yourself why? There is nothing wrong with joining another in wedded bliss, but if your reasons are less than wholesome, you should stop yourself quickly. Getting married with the wrong motivations will have you headed for a disaster.
Here are 4 awful reasons to seek marriage.
“I wish I had someone to pay my bills.”
It’s true that a husband can provide and protect, but if this is your reason for wanting a husband you are in for a rude awakening.

~ Dating: 10 Things Men Don't Do Anymore
I haven’t done a lot of dating recently but I have done my fair share over the years. So, at the risk of sounding frustrated by today’s dating scene, I am going to go there. I know I share the sentiments of many women, especially those women who have had the fortunate experience, like myself, of being treated well by men. When you’ve been treated well, you just can’t accept the BS that goes on with today’s dating scene. Things that were once taken for granted are now just memories and sometimes those things are all together forgotten because the nonsense seems to be the status quo.
Here is a countdown of things men don't bother with anymore:

They’re called “Meet Ups” now... (more)

Can You Answer 'Yes' To These 3 Questions?
You have been dating for a while and thoughts and discussions of marriage have come up. Your partner is wonderful and would make a great spouse. All that is cool, but will he or she make a good partner for you? Just because someone is husband or wife material doesn’t mean that you should be designing a plan for marriage with him or her in mind. “For better or worse, for richer for poorer” are not just poetic verses recited by an officiator when joining two people together. That is real talk. So, here is a quick test for you to take, and if you’re on the right track, you will easily answer YES to all of these questions. (more)

~ 5 Signs You're An Angry Black Woman
We could use this time to go over all of the good reasons why black women should be angry, but I have always lived by the mantra: a problem defined, is a problem half solved. We know there is a large demographic of black women who are angry—let’s forget WHY they’re angry and move into solution mode. Now that we’ve determined we are mad at the world (for a good reason or not), we can move onto RELAX, RELATE and RELEASE mode.
Here are some identifying qualities for black women who are angry and the ones who are not sure if they fall into this category.
Sign 5:
If strangers and those you don’t know well find you unapproachable, this is a really good sign that you are an angry black woman. When people are uneasy and unsure around you, you are giving off vibes that they should proceed with caution...(more)
