    IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW HE REALLY FEELS, SLEEP WITH HIM!

    Men are so great because all they need is a possibility and the sky is the limit for them. There’s nothing like the enthusiasm a guy has when he first lays eyes on a lady. That enthusiasm is almost infectious. He’s so enthralled with her magnificence and beauty. He gives her all the glory, almost as if she’d just discovered the cure for cancer. A woman could say almost anything and still be regarded as royalty in his eyes. In that moment, to him, she is the most interesting individual in the wor ...

    WHY MEN SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO BE FATHERS.

    Deadbeat Dads, few labels in our society are more contemptible. The thought of a man not providing for his offspring is incomprehensible to most, especially to those of us who have experienced the joys of raising children. Just below deadbeats on the blame pie for the ills of society are single moms. Despite the horror stories connected to women having children out of wedlock or at least in a common law marriage situations, women continue to reproduce without benefit of clergy at an alarming rat ...

    FIVE MEN WHO WON’T MARRY YOU

    Living in Los Angeles, I’ve met a ton of over forty but never married women. These are beautiful, sane, successful women who you would think would have had no problem finding a man to marry. If you talk to these women casually they will tell you that they were unwilling to settle or men can’t handle independent women or they’re perfectly happy being single but if you get them to open up they’ll tell you about that guy. There’s always that one guy who led her on, wasted her time and left her brok ...

    SHOPPING FOR MEN

    I was recently shopping in the local farmers market with my daughter and begun a ritual handed down by many women in my family. As we shopped, I taught her how to select the best products that a store had to offer. I explained to her about sizing up fruits and vegetables, inspecting cans for dents, smelling the plants because if you are going to spend your money why not be selective. Money is after all energy. It’s the result of hard work, good decisions and planning. Your money habits say a lot ...

    CHRISTMAS TIME WHEN IT’S COMPLICATED

    Another holiday season is upon us. It’s the happiest time of the year. It’s the time for peace and Joy and good will toward men. It’s the time to celebrate with family, spouses, friends, co-workers and of course lovers, that is unless your relationship status is “complicated.” For those in complicated relationships the holiday season is all too often a time for uncertainty, stress, embarrassment and sometimes even subterfuge. It’s Complicated is one of Facebook’s options for “Relationship Status ...

    ONE DEGREE OF SEPARATION: THE PRINCE WE NEVER KNEW

    You never know who you know. I’ve been playing pickup basketball with my friend Paul Mitchell (#12 in the Bryant Middle School team photo) for years but it wasn’t until today that I learned he was a boyhood friend of Prince Rogers Nelson #3 and Prince’s brother Duane #21. Imagine that, all this time I was one degree of separation from my all-time favorite artist and the world’s greatest entertainer! Paul has recently been approached by CNN to give an interview regarding his relationship with pri ...

    BLACK WOMEN AND STRUGGLE LOVE

    Black women should immediately end our fight for the Black man. Before you get your pitchforks and matches hear me out. The Black community has been so engrossed with the protection, uplifting and advancement of the Black man that it has totally unequivocally neglected the Black woman. We Black women have made the Black man our burden and load. As with all loads they have become heavy and we can’t carry them anymore. Through slavery, rape, miseducation, ridicule, murder and abandonment Black wom ...

WHY THE ALPHA-MALE IS AVOIDING YOU

Some women have a lot of masculine energy, either by nature or nurture.  With an abundance of this masculine energy a woman will attract a man who may seem a bit delicate and/or bump heads with a man who himself gives off an abundance of masculine energy so don’t blame society for the ‘lack of strong men’, because they are out there.  The fact is, your energy simply repels them.       I actually used to have more masculine energy.  My mother was a Black Panther and a gangster, and very smart and demonstrative with her intelligence.  Under her roof, […]

How Weaves Are Destroying Black Relationships

WEAVE, it all seems so harmless, a pony tail here, a sew-in there.  This simple but lucrative industry has single handedly destroyed the black relationship and family structure.   The effects of heroin, alcoholism and crack where were painfully obvious.  As a community we were aware of the enemy and were able to fight against it.  Through it all we were able to maintain our family structure and core values but weave is different.  Weave is subtle.    In the past 20 years the black relationship has hit many icebergs that have left us unable to move forward.  It appears that the […]

Coping With Relationship Attention Deficit Disorder

We at Fresh Takes have discovered a new disorder we like to call RADD.  Relationship Attention Deficit Disorder which may be a major inhibitor for anyone with a social media account or online dating account who is trying to find that special person.  RADD is the inability to focus on any one person long enough to form a true connection due to the distractions of multiple suitors.        With Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the whole slew of other social media outlets, we are forming more connections than any other time in history. With just a click, you can get […]

IS YOUR HUSBAND IN YOUR FRIEND ZONE?

          Lauren was bubbling over with joy as she floated down the hallway, her feet not even touching the floor, or so it felt.  Her boss had just informed her that she had been promoted to case manager, a position she had coveted for quite some time.  Her first thought was to tell Greg.  Their text conversation went like this: LAUREN:       Hey I got the promotion! GREG:           That’s GREAT!!! LAUREN:       They loved that PowerPoint presentation you helped me with. GREG:           Good!  I was glad to help.  You should celebrate. LAUREN:       Yeah, I should!  Let me tell Mike.  […]

Can You Handle An Alpha Male?

I’ll never forget the day my daughter, who was in sixth grade at the time, dashed into the family room to give me a blow by blow account of how Jared had beaten up Malik on her middle school’s playground.  As she rushed through the story I couldn’t help but notice how her face lit up as she described to me how the other boys gave Jared much respect and high fives after the fight.  Typical female to be attracted to an alpha male, I thought to myself.  Typical because females of all species throughout nature are genetically wired to […]

BABY MOMMA DRAMA

So you’re in love with the man of your dreams.  He’s kind, considerate, funny, romantic, a great provider, charming, and a beast in the sack.  In all of his life, he’s never loved a woman the way he loves you.  The two of you want a life time together filled with peace, passion, and positivity.  No problem, right?  Wrong, enter the dreaded baby mama!  You know that ex-girlfriend or ex-wife whom he regards as the “biggest mistake of his life.”  She’s the one who’s always there, hanging around begging for money (even though he pays child support), nagging for time and […]

Addicted to FACEBOOK

When asked about the social networking site Facebook, most will try to downplay the role that it plays in their day to day lives. Lately, I have been thinking about this on a deeper level.  Why is Facebook so addicting? Why do we desire to know what others are doing every second of the day? Why do we seek the validation of people we otherwise would never interact with? Is the non-virtual world not enough?  On the surface, Facebook is a useful tool for connecting and sharing stories, pictures, etc. with friends and family. It is also a great networking tool. One […]

Choosing Life Over Suicide

On May 1, 2012, at approximately 10:30 am, this writer was ambushed with a demand for a divorce.  Much of my identity was tied up in my role as a husband and father so this hit me extremely hard.  For the rest of the day I was in a daze and about 8:00 pm I started having very, very dark thoughts.  Fortunately a beautiful young Canadian National choose that time to ask me how my day was going.  I’m sure she got much more of an answer than she bargained for but she suggested that we Skype.  She refused to […]
