Each week we do our best to create articles that can start a conversation with our readers, and many of the topics come from our own experiences in our everyday lives. We can only assume that these top articles from 2010 were so popular because many of you can relate to them, learn from them or, at the very least, they’ve given you something to think about. Enjoy this recap: 1. Date Older Men: The Answer to a Single Girl’s [...]

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 [...]

All last year choruses of women raised their left hands to sing along with Beyonce that “if he liked it then he shoulda put a ring on it!” Even the Chipettes got in on the action. Whether it’s a solitaire or surrounded by baguettes, diamonds have maintained the reputation of being a girl’s best friend, especially when it comes to proposals. Jewelry companies pander to the fantasies of women that if he really means it, if he really loves you, [...]
