Don’t you hate nosy people? I know I do. Many of us men come up being extremely private to the point where we turn off family members and friends just by the amount of silence we keep about our love lives. Oft times this code of silence comes from being burnt one too many times by big-mouthed people who make us feel uncomfortable for our preferences and choices throughout our dating lives. Having dated a number of different women from across the spectrum of race, style and class – I know all too well the comments and hurtful jokes that gets thrown at single men for their choices. When I was in college I dated a number of light-skinned black girls, not because that was my thing, but because they were the ones who were talking back to me. You know the game denizens, hell if you read my articles enough, you know why this… [Read more]

  “Dear Dragon, I read your site often and I am a big Jessica Alba fan (seen her on your top 100) but my girl is giving me all sorts of grief about her. What do you say about a girl who gets jealous about your celebrity crush? I notice that she even talks about dudes like Bradley Cooper and I don’t even trip over it but she get mad over Alba? Sup with that?” – Frustrated Fred Men of the Hall, take this however you want to take it but if you are with a new girl and she freaks out over your liking a celebrity woman or watching porn then you are in for a world of hurt if you stick around. There is nothing positive that comes out of dating a control freak with low self-esteem and that chick will ruin you and waste your time by the time she’s finished. A… [Read more]

You know the confusion and misinformation on men and our choice of hairdos will never come to an end in the black community but maybe I can shed some light on the observations I’ve made amongst my fellow “men of color”. The natural hair movement is in full effect as former perms are being replaced rapidly by ceasers, afros and natural braids. With this movement there will be those who tell you that they made “the big chop” for hair health reasons and others who say that it is only another hairstyle that they are trying out. The stigma with natural women however seems to be that they are all stuck-up, Erykah Badu types that point fingers at women who kept a perm or weave. Just Look Good in Your Tresses One of the other tired attack memes on black males (besides our inherent love for fat blondes and prison… rolls eyes) is that we… [Read more]

And the award for best Super Bowl campaign goes to Doritos! It was a pleasure to watch their ads amongst the confusing nonsense of “Go Green”, GoDaddy yawn ads and the pathetic chicken commercials of Denny’s (seriously millions of dollars in Ad space just to move a friggin grand slam meal?) The Doritos and Bud Light ads were the only ones worth paying attention to outside of Megan Fox bathing… and the one that garnered the most laughter had to be the baby bitch slapping his mother’s boyfriend. I lolled and you will too, which goes to show that 1. Babies are always funny and 2. People getting bitch slapped is always funny on film. The next funny one was probably the new (not as cute as the older) E-Trade baby scamming on his girl with another. Still the Super Bowl as a whole was boring, the halftime show featured  safe, old people and ads… [Read more]
