Chivalry today is a personal choice that a man should not seek kudos or suffer objections on from outsiders. It is simply your personal choice of behavior and it has nothing to do with “what men are suppose to do” or any such nonsense. Let us think of it like offering out free samples of your world’s famous pork ribs to a Mall filled with women. Your goal in offering these samples is that a woman will eat it, appreciate the offer and think strongly about buying an actual dish. While you walk about with your tray full of samples you will encounter 4 types of people: 1. The opportunist – This person will eat your sample, stay in your face and ask for more and more. They don’t plan to buy your food, or even tell their friends how succulent the pig is – they just see you offering free food and they want… [Read more]

Let’s face it, a lot of our social eating has to do with sitting and listening to someone prattle on about the drama of their day while we listen and force conversation in between, playing the role as it were. While I love social eating, mixing it up with friends, girlfriend and others; there are times when the best therapy is alone time with a plate of food and nothing but restaurant noise in the background. The therapy of “alone time” is not restricted to eating either; some of us find a nice long drive to be the best and then there is that visit to the theater, the long walk home or sitting on the shores of a beach just closing our eyes and listening. There are times when people are just stressful, and if you aren’t a social butterfly whose entire life is bent on the approval of others… alone time is golden…. [Read more]

Gladys Knight & Ron Winans’ Chicken and Waffles gladysandron.net 529 Peachtree Street NE | Atlanta, GA 30308 404-874-9393 For years I’ve wanted to try the famous Gladys and Ron’s chicken and waffles in downtown Atlanta. I’ve heard so much about it and since it’s such a different mixture of tastes in one sitting, I felt like I had to have it. Well, today I finally had the chance to go,  and I’m sad to say that it was a little bit of a let down in terms of what I was expecting. Granted, the food was very good in that my buckwheat waffle was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the chicken wings were perfectly fried, but I just wanted more from it. From the itty bitty parking lot, to the seating for two where the four of us were forced to sit, to the greasy spoon-esque bathroom (complete with a can… [Read more]

It’s amazing how monolithic women assume men’s tastes to be, so to prove a point I conducted a rather random survey of men from different walks of life to glean which celeb if any could be crowned as the prototype for any man’s lust. Would it surprise you if I said that no names were repeated by over 25 different men? In other words, I didn’t get an overwhelming vote for Natalie Portman or Halle Berry… though strangely enough more than a few men admitted that if the poll were based on “celebs we would instantly marry” Portman would be automatic. Padme has us boys in a daze I see. But this was about sexual attraction, not Natalie Portman’s intelligent, yet strangely sexy visage walking with us to the altar. So who did 7 men choose as their “sexual crush”? I think that the results will shock you. #1 Carla Gugino Chosen by: Peter, a… [Read more]

I have two close friends that are similar in tastes, likes and interests, the only difference between the two is that one has been through several annoying relationships with women and the other has been in few. The one with the relationship experience likes to introduce his women to us friends fast – we’re talking the 2nd week of dating sometimes, they hang out, get all of our phone numbers, befriend us and before long I am having to avoid both of them when their drama boils over. As a group we have grown tired of this song and dance so for the new women he introduces us to, we stay extremely distant and uninterested. Now, if the 2nd friend were to introduce us to his new girl, we would break our backs to make sure that she feels accepted and loved. The reason for this is because him introducing her to us is a… [Read more]

There is a common understanding amongst men that most guys have a flavor (type of woman) that they are predisposed to. While the lusting for extremely young, old or muscular women is seen as taboo and disturbing to a number of guys, having an exclusivity to a race really isn’t as abnormal as the media makes it out to be. I know white guys who have blonde fetishes, redhead fetishes, Asian fetishes and I use fetish to mean women they go nuts for just because they are within that pool. I know black men who have Latina fetishes, Russian accent fetishes and light-skinned, caramel bi-racial fetishes. I even know Asian men who have fetishes for blond girl-next-door types. These are all lusts that are seen as a big horrible, racial issue when it comes to relationship chats about race. Embittered women will bemoan the constant of seeing white men with Asian women, or black men… [Read more]

As I get older and arguably wiser, I begin to notice certain things about the English language and the misunderstanding of simple concepts by its users. Being an admirer of the female body and being around fellow admirers who talk, I sometimes notice that a lot of guys don’t get it when the word “sexy” is used. We all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but so is the aspect of sexy, the term is purely subjective. What is sexy for me should have a lot of supporters but I shouldn’t be surprised when someone disagrees – this is the reasoning behind fetishes, tastes etc. While some men will look for a banging body (some like a big ass, some like a big bosom, others need both) others just require a beautiful face or killer legs. The thing that brings these men together in agreement however is the sexiness factor. What… [Read more]
