Why are successful Black women still single?

According to a recent Yale study, …

Since I started this blog I get alot of feedback offline including questions about relationship advice. I’ve been asked:
What qualities do you think make a good man? Where are the good men? How come I can’t get a good man? 
And even more direct questions concerning my relationship. By …

Lil Webbie’s INDEPENDENT was the theme song for a lot of women in 2008.  Even women that did not have a job, their own cars or houses were singing it! They wanted all the men in the world to know that they could make it on their own and did …

Guest Blogger: Old, Strong and Alone

Sometimes, my dear friend, Mookie Jones jokes around and gives me a pretty good saying…. One day he playfully uttered “You’re going to end up old, strong and alone if you don’t watch it”… This was probably in response to something I did that was out of the male/female gender role (like opening the door or paying for a bill or something, which totally annoys him). However, his sly utterance still sticks with me, and I sometimes ponder on it…I’m probably not going to be very popular with saying this thought, but “If you are single, that is because of the choices you have made, so stop the external blame game”….

Nothing is wrong with dreaming but maybe if we curtailed that dream a bit to reality, I think heartache and confusion would cease in the world of dating and finding a life partner would seem more feasible. My friends say things about guys they meet like he’s too short, he doesn’t make enough money, I don’t like where he lives…etc. Instead ladies try asking where his head is? does he have a good heart? does he love God? does he want better? does he respect women?
