Men Land Down Under (Part 2) (11.30.09) Economics 101 taught me the relationship between supply and demand in the market place. It's rather simple; the theory makes dollars and sense. Watching said theory being put into practice from the floor of a department store.... Read Post |

5 Things About Metro-Savvy Men (11.25.09) Definition is half the battle. About a year ago, I found myself struggling to put my life and lifestyle into language. As a writer/blogger, being able to articulate who I am is oxygen. Read Post |

Locker Room or Male Nudist Colony? (11.23.09) Plain talk. I'm not keen on the gratuitous male nudity that I'm exposed to every time I go enter a locker room at one of these fitness facilities. And, if you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that I'm not ... Read Post |

Men Cheat Up? Women Cheat Down? (11.20.09) The other day my attention was turned to the Black Voices Forums, where the subject of cheating was getting heat. What lit the match was the suggestion that men "cheat down" (with less attractive women) and women... Read Post |

Men
in Black (11.16.09) Disclosure: I consider myself to be a well dressed man. I pay attention to fashion, fabrics and fit. I care about the color, contour and cut. Yes, I can be a little extra sometimes. But even the best of us... Read Post |

Men Marry Smart & Live Longer (11.13.09) A new study shows that men who marry highly educated women have longer life expectancy. I can go a lot of different directions with this one. I can caution my unmarried brethren to... Read Post |

Memo to Men About Lesbians (11.06.09) This originally posted September 16, 2009. It's one of my favorites. And since my readership has grown significantly since then, I thought I'd run this one again. Read Post |

The Chop Up With RiPPa (11.04.09) Last week, I had the opportunity to chop it up with my man RiPPa from The Intersection of Madness & Reality . As with my first session of "The Chop Up" with Goddess Intellect (GI), there was a whole lot more conversation than anticipated. Read Post |

Why Bigger Isn't Always Better (11.02.09) Despite the seemingly gratuitous photo, this one is actually a public service announcement for women. Those of you contemplating augmentation of your lower frontal lobes, stop. Hear me on this. Unless you have ambitions of being... Read Post |

Halloween Big Pimpin'. Bad Idea. (10.30.09) Twelve months later and here we go again. Grown folk letting their inner child come out and play, as they get set, costumes and all, for Halloween parties this weekend. Maybe I enjoy being an adult way too much. Read Post |

Comes A Time In Every Man's Life (10.26.09) Sometimes men don't know when to let it go. It's an unfortunate display of poor judgment, which only becomes funnier the older we get. As men, if our job is to age gracefully, some of us are sleeping at the wheel. Read Post | ||

Boomin' Systems / Invisible Men (10.23.09) I hate it, although I get it. But since hating something is like a natural born instinct that humans share, let me start with the latter because 'getting it' requires a more thoughtful process. So I get that people, of a certain age demographic, like... Read Post | ||

The 'Five Wells' at Morehouse (10.23.09) Well-read, well-spoken, well-traveled, well-dressed and well-balanced. These are the 'Five Wells' recently issued to the student body of Morehouse. Who can be mad at that? Wait a minute...okay...just in. Apparently, some are actually mad at that. Read Post | ||

Commerce of the Heart. Suckers. (10.18.09) Suckers. Maybe even the word Sucker Emcees, as my man Nathan Ivey would say. That's the word that comes to mind. And, perhaps, I need to shoulder some of the blame, fellas, for not speaking up sooner. At this point... Read Post | ||

Grass is Greener. @SS is Leaner. (10.12.09) Personally, I found it easy to usher my cynicism to the back pew because, like a lot of you, I could care less about their marriage or the origins of it. This quizzical union, however, does provide some relationship fodder. Read Post | ||

The Man in the Land Down Under. (10.08.09) In this post, I explore the choices men make when it comes to their underwear. The most troubling and most egregious are what I refer to as "man panties". Read Post | ||

To Catch a Predator.
(10.01.09) I just stumbled across some words that, apparently, women can say but men, under no circumstances, should ever utter. Actually, they are words that a woman shouldn't say either. However, in this context and due to the politics of gender... Read Post |

To Catch a Predator.
(09.28.09) I'm trying to refrain from political rants nowadays but every now and then I will still take a stroll through the intersection where the political and the personal converge. This would be one of those instances. Read Post |

Bored Wtih Halle...Well
Kinda (09.25.09) Late last week, I caught Halle Berry on the new Jay Leno Show. Stunning. I can see why men often wonder out loud why any other man (including two ex-husbands) could screw up what appears to be the equivalent of hitting the lotto. Not so fast. Read Post |

Memo About Dance Competitions (09.23.09) Men, stand up and protect the borders. And no, I'm not talking about the U.S. / Mexican border. I'm referring to the borders that protect us from ourselves. I'm all for re-defining the terms and conditions of masculinity, but there must be lines that we don't cross. Read Post |
