This isn’t a bait and switch, the title reflects exactly what I am about to write here. I’ve noticed that as the tide of tolerance comes in, some men (and I’m sure women too, but I can only speak about the men), okay some men will not change their views on sexism and racism. I have a zero tolerance attitude towards bigots for this reason. A guy may act tolerant and nice to your face, but behind closed doors he takes off the mask and goes to sleep the same monster that he was when he put the mask on before leaving work. When I wrote the article on nerds being sexist and racist, I recalled an incident at an old job where a man went on a rant for minutes to me about the prequels having female Jedis in it. He was a good ‘ol boy from Florida so I am not sure why… [Read more]

Despite what movies and books depict, you are not guaranteed to do better than the cool people in your High School just because you were a social reject. The one part of being the social reject that people tend to ignore in movies (and in life) is that the social reject that becomes the baller has a few necessary components to achieve success. Being intelligent is great but do you have drive with that intelligence? Do you finish what you start? Are you the type to stay up nights obsessing over your business plan, your invention, and your future money maker? Many of you don’t but you assume that being the outcast in high school has afforded you the privilege of attending the class reunion in 10 years to laugh at all the hecklers who are now clerks at the local mall or mopping floors for the hospital that you own. While this may sound… [Read more]

One night I was with this beauty on our 4th session of the horizontal mambo and things were really beginning to heat up. It was college, we were horny & experimental (isn’t that what college is all about) and I wanted to show her my talents. Going at it the way an 18 yr old with an agenda does, this girl raises up out of her cowgirl and straight hit me with a stream of golden you-know-what. Pause! The hell just happened? It happened so quick that I didn’t know what to do… should I channel my inner Mr. Marcus and continue to beat the dust off of “that thing” or do I go Bugsy Siegel and throw her off of me like “what’s the matter with you!?” I won’t say which way I went with that one but the two extremes I considered are not the way to deal with something that you are… [Read more]

My first “smart phone” was a Blackberry. I came into the game late bypassing the large, full qwerty pad monstrosities (that business people carried like a badge of honor) and started my fellowship with a smaller phone that lumped the letters together. Today, I own the newest brand of T-Mobile’s family of Blackberries, it’s small, has a full qwerty keyboard and a touch pad for all the sliding that I need on apps. The phone is great for my needs; I answer my client’s emails, write hundreds of articles and tweet nonsense whenever I have a break. Little did I know that loving this phone had put me on the uncool team of a popularity contest. The iPhone craze of yesteryear ushered in a cult following to Apple that has caused the geeks of the world to look down on the company. To them IPhones are now dumb, useless toys, meant to cull the ignorant… [Read more]

Nothing strokes a culture of mediocrity like Social Networking, I mean it is absolutely scary the way it works. Being a part of a Social Network is like being in a population of people forced to share one giant apartment complex on an island. See within that analogy you will have some people that want to know and get along with everyone (because this makes them “popular”), some who want to become famous and others who hide out in their rooms listening silently to the chatter going on outside. On Facebook – the king of all Social Networks I have found that the only people that cherish the space are those who can play the game, or those who are somewhat delusional about their importance. Playing the game If you were to take the time to examine your massive friends list of ex-classmates, ex-lovers, people from your job and family members who you’ve blocked your… [Read more]

The real world is rather entertaining these days. No… not the television series (although I’m sure some of you would say that is too). The actual world that we live in. And while I could easily run off examples of diseases, famine, violence, natural disaster, and other bizarre worldly acts, I shall address something far simpler. The world, those things and people,  that each of us experience every day. Yeah those you come across from the time your alarm jolts you out of sleep and pisses you off until you succumb to weariness and close your eyes. All that stuff that you encounter in between – real world. But just how real is it? Remember that time when everything we saw on TV and heard on radio was scripted? More importantly we KNEW it was scripted. In those days (insert flashback sequence), conformity was normal. Everyone wanted to “fit in” somewhere. Anything and anyone that… [Read more]

Two of our most popular articles are: “A List of Disrespectful Sh-t Women Do to Men” and “Dating a Married Man? You Are Carrying Watering a Basket”.  People are searching for these topics all over the world because men cheat and women do passive aggressive things to find out and ultimately get back at us. The other day a lady friend of mine got off of the phone upset because some dumb bird called her to inquire “why is my man calling you!?” The man in question was a teacher and he had called to let her know of a fight that occurred in his classroom which involved her son. Yup, this was a teacher’s wife calling a parent to bitch her out over her cheating husband; Gotta love it. Imagine how embarrassed that woman was when she went into bitch mode only to realize that her cards were wrong… and showing? She was out of pocket…. [Read more]

“hey baby, hey baby, damn shawty you fine! Hey red! Come here!” – Editor’s note: Some women respond to this. Here on the Hall we refer to them as birds! There are certain things that men will do that will not vibe with others but they will continue to do it with some fools notion that it is part of the man code. One of the most annoying examples of this is when a man sees a woman by the side of the road and he decides to pursue her by slowly driving or parking in the middle of the street. This happens a lot in the hood and on college campuses where a dude will hold up traffic in order to try and talk to a woman despite whether or not she’s giving him positive feedback. What makes it annoying is he will look back at you – another male – with that look… [Read more]
