Recently I was enjoying some good old school reggae, when I heard Maxi Priest burst onto the air waves with the rhythmic “Hey Fatty, Fatty”.  I was always under the assumption that unlike the U.S., many African and Caribbean nations held fat women as desirable icons of beauty.  I paused to really listen to the words, only to realize Maxi Priest was actually berating her for being fat. He belts out– “Hey Fatty Fatty, why are you behaving like that (go long so)? When you come to the party/club (dance) you do your own thing! You move your hips like they are on a hinge. You do the “round-the-world”, you do the “electric move”, you do the “water-pumping”, and you say you want to “bubble” with me. You walk down the road as if you are slim, because you don’t know that in town you are the biggest thing.” As a young woman in the… [Read more]

We often hear the many ways that men mess up their chances with women, or turn women off with merely a few words out of their mouth.  It can be the difference between having a great time with someone, and having a boring time with the same person.  We are going to present four ways a woman can turn a man off, as this topic does not seem be covered all that much these days.  It is important to remember it does not take much to turn someone off, and if you follow these general guidelines it can help you keep a man’s interest in you. 1) Act Like A Flake One of the most common things I hear men complain about when dealing with women, they either can’t commit to plans or constantly flakes on them.  If you regularly pencil in your plans with a “maybe” and/or cancel plans at the last minute, you’re… [Read more]

If you are in a relationship that has run its course and you’re wondering whether it’s a good time to turn in or not consider this. How do you feel when you go out of your way to meet your lady? Do you anticipate a good time, is it no big deal or do you dread it because of an inevitable argument or bad experience? Most men will stick around, not for fear of loneliness, but because our analytic minds tend to weigh the good versus the bad and stick it out if it lean towards good. Godd for a man could mean that while she may be a total bitch, her looks makes for great arm candy and the envy of your friends. Maybe she only emasculates you when you’re with friends but when you two are alone she’s a sweetheart. It could be a number of things which were the tables turned, a… [Read more]

Ever wonder why some people stay alone regardless of want or desire to be in a relationship? Well chances are they are giving off an aura of hostility without even knowing it. Below we give five reasons why a person may be single for an extended period of time. If you’re single take a look and see if any of them apply to you. 1. You’re one part of a flock of birds Although it is safer to go partying with your girlfriends, you should be wary of this practice. Typically when a guy is brave enough to invade a flock, he will either be aiming for the best looking of the lot or the alpha female. If you are neither then you may want to separate from your buddies once you get inside. This is a heavy negative because most guys will not invade a circle of women to talk to any of them,… [Read more]

One of the goals that the Hall of The Black Dragon serves is to help young men realize their potential in the balance of gangster grit with a gentleman’s suave. We intend to help grow young James Bonds and preserve manliness in a world that is hell bent on telling us that manliness is wrong. So if at times I seem to harp on what you call “Neanderthal” principles and then contradict it with an article about pampering your lady, you must understand that the two are not mutually exclusive. You have to learn to be a knife my friends, your surface being smooth and refined, your edge being absolutely deadly. So it pains me to see a man play himself for the herb (an uncool person), chasing a woman who has no interest in him, to the point where he appears very much like a dog looking for a leg to hump. In this… [Read more]

I seem to come across articles daily bemoaning the plight of the single black female, no not women of color but black women specifically. I will say this to you black women, you aren’t the only ones that are sick and tired of reading these statistics and blog fodder so don’t feel like it’s the world against you. One of the reason these articles are so hot for journalists is because it inspires immediate emotion and bitterness from the accused. Hell go to any blog about the subject and hear the echoes of how sh-tty us black men are and how you all need to start looking elsewhere. Well the dragon is here to help you move on and break the stereotype. Unlike other blogs who wish to highlight the problem and air out your dirty laundry, we offer you suggestions and solutions, from the viewpoint of a black male. One thing that I keep… [Read more]

There are many vices that people use to make the lull of their everyday lifestyle have a sort of purpose. Some people choose religion and make sure that at the root of their efforts they do what is best for their chosen church. Others lean on family, that is their drive, and it is what makes the lull all the more liveable. But as a whole, I think the biggest vice to living the lives we do, is the cliché. People ue clichés unconsciously as if it is an ironclad law for life and the way we live it. Parents say “eat your food, there are starving kids in Africa”, as if to guilt a child into not wasting food – which wrongly asserts that the consumption of it all would do the starving kids one better than if it was left uneaten. Then as you get into your teenage years you get the “I… [Read more]
