Once in awhile us single folks will have to bear the annoying sense of responsibility that a married friend puts on him/her self to marry us off. While in their minds they feel that they are doing you a service, the fact of the matter is they should probably mind their own business. One of the people I know even had the audacity to suggest parties where they could pool the resources of his wife’s single friends and his in what I assume would be a huge hook-up party. What was he thinking you ask? The answer is he wasn’t, he was just being the typical married guy who is high on his fulfillment delusions. Gauge your single friends All of us have THAT guy or girl in our lives who whines continuously about not having anyone to love or how they were meant to be married by now. In cases with a person like… [Read more]

Do not mistake this for another sophomorish frat-boy list of “rules” that is written for cheap chuckles. The Hall of The Black Dragon’s version of The Man Laws is not of the typical, our rules are the result of years of study, research and principle. To put it short guys, if you follow the laws then you will be a man amongst men, a gentleman’s gangster and a better man. Read and obey the Man Laws. Rule 01 (Girlfriends): If asked, your buddy’s girl is both beautiful and funny but she isn’t your type. Rule 02 (Medal of Honor): A good friend jumps on a grenade whenever his main man goes in for the kill. Translation: Normally women roll in pairs or more, although birds of a feather flock together, sometimes you may see a diamond with a piece of coal cock blocking all pursuers. At this time a good friend will swallow his pride… [Read more]

Is it realistic to “date” a married man? I don’t mean the dude who has moved out on his own and is just waiting for the ink to dry on his divorce papers. I mean the dude who goes home to his wife after he is through hugged up with you! And you know for the few that has “worked out”, it is like counting the number of people you personally know that have won the lottery. For me? That is zero! A friend of mine had her heart serious broken recently, because her boyfriend went on vacation with his wife!!! Get freakin’ real. You are trying to carry water in a basket! What is the purpose of asking who is she? What’s her name? Why are you still with her? Where are we going… While you are creeping? Some women see an advantage in dating a married man, because she doesn’t have to do… [Read more]

I’m Sorry I Messed Up, Are You Dating Anybody Right Now? The game of courtship can be a rewarding one, men earn themselves a beautiful, loving mate and women earn romance stories to brag to their girlfriends about. One of my best friends planted his wife’s engagement ring amongst the branches of the tree that they first kissed under. It is no doubt that she will tell that story forever – they just celebrated the birth of their second child, it’s a beautiful thing. The majority of my friends are seemingly happy in their marriages, so the statistics of divorce rates, alimony and child support woes that I read about daily gets balanced out just by hanging out with them. One thing I’ve noticed however is that all of them were either married out of High School or a few years after college – the younger 20s. As myself and other men of my age… [Read more]

As I peruse many blogs daily on the internet there seems to be a very popular theme with marriage and why men won’t commit. The argument is largely one-sided as it is mostly women chiming in on it and hardly men. If you were to go on these blogs and take the testimonies and the feedback from their female commenters, you would think that most men are immature, clueless, or just plain stupid. The reason for this is there doesn’t seem to be much self-reflection from these women when it comes to why their 5+ year relationship hasn’t resulted in a proposal from the guy. While an extremely complex situation, what a lot of women don’t understand is that many times there are underlying issues why you as a great girlfriend is not guaranteed to be a potential wife. 1. You’re already a wife without paperwork Many women assume that because a guy is of… [Read more]

Have you ever been walking along listening to you ipod and a song comes on that either moves you to want to break out in full Flashdance mode, or break down crying like the end of “Imitation of Life?”  And all you can think is that you want someone else to hear it and feel what you feel…but you cant.  Later, you try to describe the song  and how it made you feel to someone, but they look at you like you’re crazy, but offer you affirmative responses, like they get it, when you both know they don’t.  You both know that they can’t get it; it’s impossible.  Because it wasn’t just that song it was that moment.  It was yours, alone. That’s what a argument between two people who love each other is like.  Everyone walking through life with uncomfortable, ill-fitting ear buds in, listening to our own soundtrack.  Taking them off only long… [Read more]
