This past weekend I found myself channel surfing and happened upon an old episode of Sex and the City from season three titled “Frenemies”. As a recap, this is the episode where, among other things, Miranda attends the funeral of a “would be” boyfriend. While at the funeral she meets another man who expresses interest in her. As girlfriends do, she shares the news with Carrie about her new love interest. As luck would have it, it turns out that [...]

This year was met with a rash of articles and television programs all touting the abysmal numbers of black women who are single and want to be married. It’s no wonder any of us would go to great measures to close the deal when it’s within reach. Have you ever asked your girlfriends who are married what they did to close the deal with their man? The funny thing is, we all have or know someone who has implored a [...]

Pretty up and dumb down. Have you heard of that expression before? It’s the notion that women should highlight their looks and downplay their intelligence in order to find a man. I know lots of professional women with advanced degrees and career success and they (or I should say “we”) often get told that the reason we’re single is because our intelligence is intimidating to men. This explanation was always puzzling to me considering I could name several guy friends [...]

It only took a smoky, dimly lit lounge and a few glasses of adult beverages after work for a group of otherwise professionally conservative corporate folks to drop their inhibitions and launch into the mother of all discussions. A discussion about the age old question that seems to always come up when men and women are hanging out together, “what do men really want from women?” It seems no matter how many times this question gets asked and answered in [...]

There’s nothing like being out in New York City on a holiday weekend with your girls at a swanky spot. Such was the case last Labor Day weekend when we had drinks at Ink48 with our girl Danielle and a few other friends. The fancy (and might I add expensive) drinks were flowing and so was the conversation. At some point Danielle remembered an article she came across in GQ about “The Sweet Spot”. Here’s an excerpt: Somewhere between puberty [...]

Heartbreak. We’ve all experienced it. That feeling when your mind and body simultaneously realize that the man you’ve invested significant time and energy in and fantasized about the future with is no longer a part of your life. It’s that visceral response you have when you begin to imagine how your daily routine will change now that he is no longer a part of it. Often times the sadness of heartbreak can be so overwhelming that it paralyzes you. While [...]

Not long ago a good girlfriend of mine, whom I affectionately call “Gordy”, loaned me a book she received from her sister. It’s a self-help dating book called “Temptations of the Single Girl: The Ten Dating Traps You Must Avoid” by Nina Atwood. Lately, most dating self-help books that hit the market are some comics entertaining rendition of trite advice wrapped around a punch-line (no judgment). So I was eager to see what this book had to offer. I was [...]

By Keesha Boyd It must have been an optimist who said “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. To which a pessimist replied, “out of sight, out of mind”. This topic hits home for me. I’ve done the long distance thing and have several friends who have been or currently are in a LDR. Some stats: The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships (Director- Dr. Gregory Guldner) reports that 1 in 10 marriages are long distance not including military [...]

Work life balance. You’ve heard of it. You know what it means. But does anyone really have it? I recently had appetizers with my line sister, a neurosurgeon and avid Vyne reader. We talked about how easy it is to get wrapped up in work leaving considerably less time for the “life” side of work/life balance. Not to mention, if you’re a single, successful woman, the “life” side of the equation often includes your dating life, quality time with your friends/family [...]

Brunch with the ladies never ceases to disappoint. Amid the backdrop of Manhattan city life on a Saturday afternoon, Kailei (of The Vyne) played hostess with the “most-est” to several of us who gathered at her place for food, fun, conversation and fantastic homemade sangria. At some point, after catching up on our careers, random daily happenings and current pop culture hot topics (a la the Tiger Woods apology) the conversation turned to men. Specifically, as we popped bacon wrapped [...]
