Men And Marriage: Why They Are Scared Of The Shackle

Let’s get one thing clear from the jump: men not named George Clooney are not averse to marriage as an institution. The characters in black love flicks (often starring Taye Diggs or Omar Epps) might have folks convinced that men would rather be garroted in the scrotum before they settle down, but that’s not the case….we’re just really, really cautious about who gets the Magic Stick for life. I tried to think of at least five things that freak men out about getting hitched, but for me, it all fits under three umbrellas… Continued at MadameNoire.com

Take My Black Card: 8 Things We Don’t Really Mess With

It’s a beautiful thing being black. The shared jokes, cultural references and overall sense of pride I feel being a black woman is something I truly treasure. But that being said there are certain references, jokes and shared experiences that just weren’t a part of my life as a black person. Which is why blackness varies from person to person. Here are a few things that tend to raise eyebrows and cause confusion… Continued at MadameNoire.com

Ask A Very Smart Brotha: Dating Online And The “Big Brother” Types

Dear Very Smart Brotha, I am a young girl who has known this brotha for a minute, met at church, and I look to him as my big brother, even though I have one. He is in the army and only comes to visit every 3 months or so. Recently he came back and we did the regular. Hang out with the rest of the church youth and what not. As he was leaving I leaned in to hug him and ended up getting a kiss instead, on my lips, that lasted for some minutes. I have NEVER looked at him in such way, have NEVER thought of him in such way, all he was to me was someone I could look up to when my brother acts like a jackass. After the kiss, we hung out again, this time just me and him, a day before he went back to base and the expected happened, but we didn’t go the whole 9 yards cos I’m still a virgin (and proud of it too). He said he’s been watching my character since he met me, and looks at me like his little sister, and also a lover….(should I be alarmed?) Continue reading at MadameNoire.com

7 Ways You Can Tell Chivalry is Dead and Gone

You’ve probably heard someone say “chivalry is dead” thousands of time. And that individual was probably a disappointed woman. Not all men have forgotten the rules to being a gentleman (SEE! I’m not generalizing!), but many just don’t care anymore. Maybe it has something to do with the whole independent woman stance many of us have taken over the years. Perhaps some men think “if you’re so independent, then what do you need me to pay for dinner for?” And no, we’re definitely not meek and helpless, we can indeed do things for ourselves too. But it’s not like we’re asking men to bring us flowers everyday and recklessly paint our toenails, but just a little display of respect from time to time, showing off what I know your parents taught you, would be nice. Here are seven ways you know there needs to be some slow singing and flower bringing on behalf of our dear friend chivalry. Continued at MadameNoire.com

Black Child Actors That Are Succeeding…And Struggling

Being a child actor in Hollywood is no joke. Especially if you’re a black one. You can’t help that you’re eventually going to grow up and possibly not be as cute-as-a-button like you used to be. And once you try to cross into more adult roles (if you can find any) you might be criticized for raunchier portrayals. Check Out More At MadameNoire.com

The Seven Worst Places To Meet A Guy

Birds of a feather flock together and some men are bad just by association with particular locations. A book shouldn’t be judged entirely by its cover, but a few things should be taken into consideration. Men are drawn to different places for different reasons and most people are not the exception. So, if you’re in the market for a good guy, cut your losses (as much as possible) and avoid looking for love in these places… Continued at MadameNoire.com

If He’s Lyin’ He’s Flyin’: Nigerian Scam Artist Breached Security At Several Airports With Fake Boarding Passes And ID

How the hell did someone not check THIS ninja out?! Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, 24, a Nigerian-born man who was found with the stolen ID and up to 10 old boarding passes containing various names, was arrested Wednesday after attempting to board a flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta; five days after passing through layers of airport security at New York’s JFK airport to board a plane with a day-old boarding pass, federal authorities said… Noibi was charged with being a stowaway aboard an aircraft, according to FBI Special Agent Kevin R. Hogg. He is being held at a Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center and is expected to be in court Friday. Noibi allegedly managed to get through every layer of security with a fake ID and numerous boarding passes, at least one of which came from another passenger’s pocket. The arrest came after Noibi allegedly boarded a plane Saturday under similar circumstances at JFK and travel to Los Angeles. Noibi boarded Virgin America flight 415 at JFK bound for L.A., according to an FBI affidavit. Virgin Atlantic confirmed in a statement to ABC News that Noibi was allowed to board at the gate with a boarding pass for a flight on a different date, and that its agent “may have missed an alert when the passenger presented a boarding pass from an earlier flight.” “It’s the human factor that’s involved in everything,” said Joseph Morris, a retired Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police officer and former security director at JFK Airport. “We can have the best technology. You can have the best processes and plans, but again it comes down to the human factor and human error. It’s sad how they put us through all this embarrassing bullsh*t with pat-downs and advanced screening, but some a**hole with a student ID and stolen boarding passes can hop a couple planes around the country…SMH Source
