I just went through too much with the last woman and it has made me realized that I have other things to do with my life other mess with these women who have no respect for us. They love the thugs. They love being cheated on and beaten on. It's been my experience to just stay out and have fun doing me... Trust me... I'm letting God do his thing... This is why I have found happiness in just hanging with my daughter on the weekends and working on my goal to complete my degree by 2014... It's all good.. Let the young bucks have this window... I love being in my 50's and seeing life from this perspective...

These two just don't get it... I'm praying for them...

I applaud you... Stay true to yourself... I guess maybe one day I will come out of my jadedness when GOD see fit to place a woman in from me that I can truly say makes me happy to my likings... Until then I will enjoy my life hanging out with and raising my daughter... Although I am now over the woman that truly broke my heart, I am just as happy spending a great deal of me time with myself... After a failed marriage and then a truly loving relationship that went south due to circumstances beyond my control, I have learned to look within and not from the outside... I am almost finish with my book on "Black men and our heartaches Pain" which is truly a rewarding piece of work that I can say really gave me some insight on all of my relationships and of those I have interviewed for my book... Your story gave me even more inspiration... Thanks for sharing... I am truly happy for you my brother... Stay up...

Once it gets physical, it's time to move on... As my father always told me, "if you have to beat her, you don't need her..." It goes both ways... Tunde your jadedness is different from mine, but I seriously understand how you feel ace...

Our generation is the throw away generation... the first sign of trouble we throw it all away... Everyone is so concerned about being messed up financially and not look at how together you can build an empire together... We are not our parents Generation that's for sure...

I just decided to work on me... I'm back in school working on my degree... I'm writing a book on black men and the broken heart... Interesting interviews to say the least... I'm jaded now, but who knows what the future brings... I would never say that GOD couldn't do his thing on me... Who can deny the almighty... I feel for anyone who gets their heart broken... It's not a pleasant situation to be in... It hurts like hell as Aretha Franklin sang on the movie soundtrack "Waiting Exhale" I hope your friend well...

Second, I feel your pain. I kind of figure that this woman Stacey wasn't worth your time anyway... She is the reason why good brothers become jaded... I had a Stacey too.. She torn my heart to pieces... The main reason I am out of the game today... I don't have any advice for you... My jadedness has me still angry and bitter... Maybe one day, I'll try again, but as of this moment, GOD hasn't created a woman for me to love... She doesn't exist... I'm sorry for anyone who gets their heart broken, both men and women... it's a bitter pill to swallow... Stay up my brother...

I pray I'm wrong, I need a new way to see love and all it has to offer...

This is too funny.... I was just thinking of a way to get out of a date tonight.... Thanks guys.... LMAO..... As most of you know, I had retired from the dating scene. Well, this woman finally convinced me to have dinner with her tonight... Problem with this whole thing, I'm not interested in her or her hot A$$ body.... I was just thinking of way to get out of it and now I have plenty of choices.... LOL, thank you so much..... Have a great weekend everyone and be safe....

Some women are becoming CEOs of companies that was once dominated by men... The end of men? I would go that far, but I have witness a dramatic change in who I see getting on the subway going to work and who isn't... This morning while riding into work, I witness more women than men riding the subway... Just my opinion, but I feel there is major shifted in what used to be a male dominated work force... Thus it changes the dynamic of the household in general...

Especially the question "what are your strength/weakness... These questions are never answered truthfully... My sister hit me with a new set of questions that will certainly jar a future mates brain... 1. Now that you have told me all the things that are right with you, tell me what is wrong with you... What are your faults and pets peeves....? Do you snore? Do pass gas in the bed? etc... 2. Other than than your last romantic sexual partner, how many sexual partners in between me and him/her was the sex meaningless...? 3. If there is anyone in this world I would have to worry about you cheating on me with? Who would that person be and why??? I thought these were good questions, what do you think...?
