Would You Sign a Dating Contract? (What’s Mine is Mine)

March 11th 2010

Maybe I’ve been too busy to notice but according to a February 23 New York Post article, more and more people are signing pre-prenups. Basically, it’s a dating contract.
Now why on Earth would people need a dating contract, you ask? Well, according to the US Census Bureau, the number of unmarried couples living together shot [...]

Did Your Parents Set a Bad Example For How to Love?

March 9th 2010

WORDS BY SKYE BLUE
The other day while I was visiting my mother we got to talking about our extended family, and I made the mistake of mentioning that Charmaine, one of my younger cousins, was “thinking about” moving in with her boyfriend, Dean. I say mistake because as soon as she heard the words “moving [...]

Would You Use the Female Condom? (Safe Sex For the Win)

March 8th 2010

Safe sex is mandatory. Or, at least it should be. However, based on the numerous paternity tests that keep Maury Povich on air and troubling statistics that say “HIV/AIDS infection is the leading cause of death for Black women 25-34 nationwide,” a lot of people still aren’t strapping up.
Aside from celibacy or abstinence, the only [...]

Are You Willing to Invest in Love? (Successful & Lonely)

March 6th 2010

Greetings, Sock Heads,
Last weekend, I made a couple of announcements. The first was the launch of the @ThatsABadLook Twitter page (full dot com coming sooner) and the second was regular video content on Saturdays. Yup, that means six days of NWSO—even God rested on the seventh day.
With that said, I’d like to introduce y’all to [...]

Are Open Relationships Better? (Honesty is Best)

March 4th 2010

As I was trolling through the Internet yesterday, I came across an interesting article on Gawker entitled “What Hollywood (and the World) Needs is More Open Relationships.” You probably have the same WTF look on your face that I had when I read that headline.
What really drew me in, though, was the accompanying picture of [...]

Should She Give the Ring Back? (The Engagement’s Off)

March 1st 2010

I noticed something interesting the other day that I’m not sure anyone else caught. As I was reading through the comments on Thursday’s blog, “Do You Keep Relationship Mementos? (Metal Memories),” one in particular stood out.
NWSO regular, Elle, wrote:
“I have keepsakes such as cards, photos, movie tix, plane tix, items which remind me of a [...]

Do Aggressive Women Get More Dates? (She Asked Him Out)

February 26th 2010

A lot of women often complain about not being able to find a good man or only being approached by jerks. A while back I suggested that the ladies just flip the script and actually do the asking out. For the most part, female readers balked at the idea because they were just too scared [...]

Do You Keep Relationship Mementos? (Metal Memories)

February 25th 2010

“I don’t wanna get tucked away in your little metal box and forgotten,” My ex, circa 2001
Let’s backtrack a little…
I have this little metal box that holds a lot of my memories. Not sure whom I got it from or when I got it, but I received a few years back as part of a [...]

Men Lie, Women Lie, But Do They Really Have To?

February 23rd 2010

Adapted from “You Don’t Have To Lie to Kick It,” by Zach Davis
I initially decided to write this after I had heard some troubling headlines in the news. One of my favorite football players was murdered, and another man had boiling water poured on his genitals. Both were done by women they were dealing with [...]

Does [Breast] Size Matter? (What Real Men Think)

February 19th 2010

Week before last I polled my female friends to answer the age old question: Does Size Matter? (What Women Say Behind Men’s Backs). The end result was a very interesting and honest discussion on what women really think about a man’s packaging.
At some point in the discussion, Da ThRONe—you’ve probably heard of him—said how the [...]

Do You Know When You’ve Met the Person of Your Dreams?

February 16th 2010

Am I the woman of your dreams?
She said, I was unresponsive. I heard her but my mind was suddenly blank, strangely blank considering she was snuggled up to me. I heard every word, I understood what she was asking, but my usually glib response eluded me.
Was she the woman of my dreams?
She was… and [...]
