In relationships and dating, traditionally women go for older men and men go for younger women.
Since today is the opening for the second SATC movie, we'd like to honor it with a couple of videos. Enjoy!
Out of the several guys I've dated, there's still some genres of the male dating pool that I have yet to cross. I'm sure that I'm not the only person that has sat down and thought about different types of guys/girls I want to 'try' out. (well maybe I am but i'm weird like that) My list of guys that I am interested in dating
if I ever before I settle down goes as followed...
As an experienced man in my late twenties I have learned a few tricks in my day. I may not be able to cook well, and I may be a little too arrogant at times, but I know how to please a woman. As a young man I didn't always know what exactly would 'do it' for each woman. I thought that I could do the same thing to each one and they would be equally pleased. I was wrong. Different women like different things, and it's our jobs to figure out what those things are. My first real girlfriend clued me in on this as I tried to make her 'finish' to no avail. That's when she broke it down to me, and after our break up I took her advice and learned that she was on to something. Here goes...
If a man is attracted to you, there is no reason why he wouldn't step up to you and ask for your number right? Wrong! It's true that men are visual creatures and they will overlook quite a lot for a hot face or bod, but there are exceptions. I've thought about typical reasons why a man may pass on a physically attractive woman, and choose her not-as-attractive friend.
I often wonder when it comes to men, when does deal-breakers go from practical to just too darn picky. I was once turned off by a guy because I didn't like the way his fingers looked. It sounds ridiculous now thinking back on it, but trust me, if you had seen them you would understand. Thinking back on this guy made me think of an old episode of
Girlfriends. On this particular one, the main character Joan was turned off by
T.C. from Passions her man of the moment because he had hips so therefore wore a girdle. As I watched that episode I could almost understand her feelings. The thought of seeing my man in a girdle, which is expected to be for women, would definitely turn me off.
This is the first of many Cultural Spotlights we will feature. We here at PMC believe that positive efforts such as expression through literature and art, specifically in the black community should be recognized. Natelege Whaley, a 21-year-old native of Brooklyn, New York and senior at Howard University, is curating a book of poems, songs, letters, raps, artwork and photography from people of color, ages 18-25, showing the generation’s thoughts about the opposite sex in friendship, dating, relationships and more.

In case you missed it, Vh1 devoted a special about things that men do that makes them "undateable." It was actually pretty entertaining. They were on point with a lot of it.
I know you all have heard the endless complaints about Black men preferring White women. Frankly I think it's time to accept the reality that every brotha is not going to go for the sistas. Something very enlightening dawned on me the other day. Maybe it's environmental. Think about it...
Since this blog is relatively new, you guys don’t know that both myself & TheOpinionated1 are huge Sex and the City fans. With that said, I thought it would only be right to devote a series of posts to it. For those of you who are not familiar with the HBO series, here’s the rundown. The show is centered around four single women living and dating in NYC.
The Japanese anime cartoon written and illustrated by Tite Kubo has become very popular in the U.S. within the last few years. From being used as inspiration for
cosplay, to being dubbed all over the Internet, it has truly become an underground phenomenon. You can find the original Japanese version with subtext, or the English version easily on the net, and can also watch several of the seasons in English on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. If you are more into reading they also have manga books which are like a Japanese version of a comic book. There are many reasons why I think the show is awesome but I'll name just a few...
1.
It’s a great concept-Who doesn't like complicated story lines, and this one is just that. The show follows the main character Ichigo Kurosaki and his accidental becoming of a Soul Reaper-a Japanese death personification similar to the Grim Reaper.
We've all been there...
You're really really feeling this guy (or girl). You like the way he smiles, the way he dresses, the way he smells, you even like the way he talks. Maybe you see him all the time at your gym, or maybe at work. Eventually, fueled by the stares that you shoot his way when you think he's not looking, he asks for your number. You two talk on the phone for a week or so and he seems pretty cool. Now it's time for the first date. You're on for dinner, a movie, or that local poetry spot that's hot. The date is over and he drops you off at your house. Before leaving, he gives you a hug and tells you he will call you tomorrow. You guys go out a few more times. He's really feeling you, but somewhere in between dinner and the movies, he fell into the dreaded...
FRIEND ZONE.
Ok Guys, we weren't trying to leave you out with our article called
10 Places To Meet Mr. Right, but the truth of the matter is that it's much more simple for you, unless of course you are facially challenged, then you may want to rely on your wit and charm. Nonetheless, you can literally walk outside your apartment and a great and available woman will likely be around. I thought about four normal everyday things that you can do to meet Ms. Right that doesn't include stepping foot in a club. Believe me, you guys don't HAVE to do much of anything to meet her, now it's keeping her that's the challenge. That's when you have to work at it.
1.
Go to work-Lots of women work, and unless you have an uber manly job then there will probably be countless single women there ready and willing to date you.
2.
Go to the grocery store-I can't stress enough how men can follow their normal routine and still find a good woman. Self-explanatory.
It started as a typical day. I woke up, watched videos on VH1, ate breakfast, showered, brushed my teeth and put on clothes. Soon after, I jumped into my car & headed to my 10 am hair appointment. As I opened the door to enter the Beauty Shop, I realized something. People STILL pay to get jheri curls.

When it comes to interracial dating, lets be real. Black men are having their cake and eating it too. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the truth is that they are getting their swirl on while the
sistas are staying loyal to the
brothas. I’ll take a chance and say that men of color are probably the most open to dating outside of their race. Hey, who needs statistics?

1. WORK- Depending on the job, work can be a great place to find a potential mate. Jobs such as call centers, hospitals, or basically any place with a large quantity of people are ideal. Now, it’s up to you to choose wisely. For example if you work at a hospital we’re talking about the doctors not the patients or if you work at a prison let’s date the guards not the inmates. You don’t want to jeopardize your job over someone that’s off limits. But hey the great thing about dating in the workplace is that you know he does have a job. WARNING: Be careful though because if it goes sour your relationship may not be the only thing that suffers, your job/work reputation may be put on the line.
2. SCHOOL- Whether you’re in high school or college, school is swarming with men. Not only are these men most likely unmarried, but they are educated and on every campus corner. So next time you are contemplating skipping school you may want to remember that while you’re getting your education you could also be having a ‘special’ study session with that handsome David from biology 101.
