Here is a questions I'm sure a lot of single women ask
themselves day in and day out, "Where are all the good brothers?" This was one of the many questions that arose in my head this morning when I woke up. Whatever happened to the guy who held the door open for you, who helped you carry your shopping bags, who took you out on a real date, and who enjoyed sharing intimate moments with you that didn't involve sex?
Being single has its perks but it also has its difficulties. I feel I'm at a time in my life when I'm ready for love-- maybe not marriage but love. A one on one committed
monogamous relationship. But how can I find love in a world where men avoid old fashioned commitment? What happened? What went wrong? Most of my friends are single and some are okay with that and some aren't. We're constantly asking each other where are all the good men. None of us seem to have a clue. Is there anyone out there who can answer this seemingly unanswerable question?
Recently I read an article in
Jewel Magazine (a cute new urban magazine) ca
lle
d "
The Hitch Doctor Improving Your Odds of Snagging a Great Mate" by
relationship expert
LaDawn Black who has written several books on relationship, and her article gave excellent advice from"knowing your the
ish" and "changing your criteria" to "learning to listen" and I agreed with everything she had to say but the only question I have is how do you find a good man to snag? It's certainly not at the clubs where most guys only go after the girl they feel will give it up the first night and if he is
trying to talk you, you best believe you probably weren't the only one and not only that most clubs the male to female ratio is like 1 guy to every 5 girls. Is it church cause the only thing those guys seem to be interested in are other guys. Someone please point me in the direction of the
Goooood men and not just any old body, been there done that. One of the things
LaDawn Black mentions in her article that I didn't particular agree with is "changing criteria" like what you expect in a man. I mean some women do go overboard, but am I wrong for wanting a guy the share the same
character traits as I do. I'm beautiful, intelligent, smart, educated, talented, some what independent, etc. etc. the list goes on and on. Is there something wrong for wanting more? Mood: Dazed and Confused!

This is my "must have" for this holiday season. Carol's Daughter are products you can use from head to toe. Lisa Price, a beautiful woman of color, has created a multi-million dollar franchise in her very own kitchen. She has appeared on numerous television shows such as The Tyra Show, The View, The Today Show and Oprah. Lisa Price has created over 300 products for hair, (for all my sistas who like to wear their hair natural) face, body, and the home. Tons of celebrities are now using Carol's Daughter products. Including Brad Pitt who uses Lisa's haircare products on his daughter Z,Mary J. Blige and Jada Pinkett Smith are spokespersons for Lisa's products. I must say I haven't tried out these products yet, but you better believe they're on my Christmas list right now. I can wait to lather myself in her famous "Almond Cookie Butter" ummmm!
