Sometimes falling into the spaces of being alone, feeling alone.” Michael B. then went on to discuss his feelings towards dating right now and admits he’s conflicted.

Shannon Sharpe Says He Made More Money From His Katt Williams Interview Than He Did In The NFL.  BOSSIP reports…Shannon Sharpe is embracing the haters and reveals his Katt Williams interview made him more than any season playing in the NFL. Since leaving UNDISPUTED Shannon Sharpe has been on a winning streak that you’d have to be blind to miss.

With success always comes hate which is coming his way from every direction. When his Katt Williams interview dropped, people immediately attacked him for not being a journalist. Recently, Mike Epps and Antonio Brown have both spoken openly about the former Tight End but Sharpe has shrugged it off.

“Everybody was talking about how much money I made doing the Katt Williams interview,” Sharpe said on his show Nightcap. “I just got the check. So whatever you think I made, 3x it. So if you think I made $500,000, 3x it. If you think I made a million, 3x it. If you think I made $2 million, 3x it.” He added, “I made more money on Katt Williams alone than I made in any year that I played the NFL.

Janie: “I liked him up to the point, when he took off his shoes upon entering my home, which he did reluctantly, and had a hole in his sock.  To me, when a man gets dressed to go out with a hole in his sock, it says a lot about his self-esteem.   MORE

The Dating Chronicles

The Strategy

Peter sipped his drink slowly as he stared across the room at a tall striking woman.  He had noticed her when she first walked into the party.  She was beautiful and distinctive as she moved slowly through the crowd.  He decided that he wanted to meet her but he couldn’t be ordinary and walk over to introduce himself.  He had to make her notice him.  After all, he thought to himself, how could she not?  He knew he was irresistible with a handsome face and bulging biceps that stretched against the cloth of his jacket.  MORE

The Anatomy Of

Broken Heart

 by Kenyatta Colbert

It was my idea to surprise him, but it was not supported by my peers and loved ones.  They all tried to warn me that my plan was idiotic, but through my made-up mind, I pretended they approved.  It was his birthday and the third year in a row he had spent it out of town on a business trip.  The plan was to arrive at his hotel and wait in the lobby for his return from his meeting.  I had a small gourmet birthday cake packed in an exquisite box topped with an inscription I had labored over.  It read, “To the only man I’ll ever love.”  However, he never got a chance to see the cake.    MORE

Disaster Dates

by Coco Diong

 These are the dates that are seldom talked about.  They’re the ones where maybe you started with a lot of hope and your hope died before the evening was over because something bizarre and unexpected happened.  Check out these examples… Selena – “On the first date with a guy, who I thought had a lot of potential, he took me to his friend’s house on our first date for what he called a small get-together.  I was sitting in the kitchen involved in a big political discussion with him and some of his friends when a new group of people came in the door.  MORE

Hygiene Principles

The Big Debate…

by M.K. Allison

Everyone does not define body hygiene the same way.  The past debate among Hollywood’s elite like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson illuminated that fact. For me, the road to this revelation began one day, when I was having a conversation with a friend about what happened when I ran into a handsome ex-co-worker I used to admire.  He was always dressed to the nines in the most expensive clothes, and this day was no different.   MORE

Q.   My boyfriend of four months cries broke all the time because of his “responsibilities.” Whenever we go out, I spend the money. I do this, so we can be together. Most of the time, we’re home. I loaned him $100.00 once, and he never mentioned it again. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to do anything to spoil our time together. However, last week on my birthday, he gave me a beautiful card, no gift, and took me to a fast food place for dinner. I was so hurt, I cried all night. My friends, who don’t have boyfriends) say, he doesn’t care and I should drop him. I just don’t want to be alone again. What do you say?    MORE

Women Don’t Know

What They Want!”

By Carl Leland

In my work, I talk to women frequently, who complain about the shortage of good black men.  However, I am personally aware of a number of good guys who are single and interested in marriage, but they have the hardest time getting to first base with the women who interest them. Ironically, these are the same women who are fervently looking for husbands in every crook and cranny of the road, who seldom fit the standards they are in search of.     MORE

Dumped… But

Not Damaged

by Theo McNee

Everyone cannot handle being dumped or rejected by a lover. One friend tried to hang himself when his girlfriend dumped him for another man.  A cousin tried to slit her wrists when a long-distance love dumped her to go back to his ex-wife.  I’ve heard too many stories of folk who just couldn’t get over being rejected and were unable to recover. So, it was encouraging to find several people who had some wild tales of being dumped but were able to overcome it and bounce back.   MORE

Socializing:

The Classy Thing To Do…

by Sierra Silverspoon

Never tell someone something said about him/her that was unflattering, degrading, or maligning, and put it under the banner of friendship or truth-telling. A bad report should never be reported.  After an arranged blind date didn’t work for a cousin,  her “best” friend informed her that the guy said she was “too overweight.”    MORE
