Hey Guys, Can We (Men) Please Stop Trying So Hard to Convince Everyone That We’re Stupid?
Budd: Larry, there ain’t nobody out there!
My Significant Other Made Up an Elaborate Backstory to Steal My Shirt
The following words were approved by my household.
Is He Playing With Your Emotions and Wasting Your Time?
Sometimes we want someone so badly, we overlook all the warning signs and red flags that should send us running in the opposite direction. Other times, we are already waist-deep in emotions and feelings before we realize that the dude has no intentions toward us, accepts no accountability for his actions and is really…
If You Think the #MeToo Movement Means You Can’t Hug a Woman Anymore, You’re a Simpleton Who Needs to Hug a Wet Electric Socket
I swear on the immaculate weave on Janet Jackson’s head that men are ridiculous, and if I weren’t sexually attracted to them, I’d join the calls to ban them permanently. Yes, I am a man, but like 2Chainz, I’m different, so don’t lump me in with these fools who continually give me the gender equivalent of white guilt.…
The Natural-Hair Movement Should Extend to Men’s Hairlines
Black women’s overall progress is reflected in their heightened investment in natural hair. The current natural-hair movement is more a consequence of black women’s empowerment than it is a cause. Nevertheless, by claiming natural hair as the standard of beauty, black men can also encourage grooming practices that…
Why I'm Comfortable Being an Angry Black Man
I was first called an angry black man while a student in college.
Let’s Go Ahead And Talk About That Birth Control Piece
Yesterday, I wrote a piece entitled, “Male Birth Control Trials Halted Because of Side Effects. Good.” where I discussed recent reports about trials that have been halted for what is an effective injection for males that could serve as an additional alternative on the birth control market.
‘Project Pat’ Buchanan Really Needs to Stop It With This ‘Death of the White Middle Class’ Nonsense
When it comes to the subgenre of punditry best described as “crotchety, delusional conservative white man,” Pat Buchanan has long been its shining star. To Buchanan’s credit, he’s been consistently curmudgeonly about America’s shifting demographics for decades. In 1992 Buchanan infamously spoke of a “culture war”…
Seven Remarkably Simple-Ass And Cheap-Ass Tips For Men Having Trouble Meeting Women
There have been a few pieces on VSB recently that some of our readers felt were kinda hard on and/or insensitive to "good guys" who legitimately have trouble meeting and interacting with women. Namely, Panama Jackson's "Dear Black Men:Black Women Always (Always!) Show Up To Events. Why Don't You?" and a piece I wrote…
Dear Black Men: Black Women Always (Always!) Show Up To Events. Why Don't You?
In 1999, girl group 702 (which included my boo-in-my-head at the time, Kameelah Williams) released the song “Where My Girls At?” It is a great song from a great group from the ’90s that brings me much joy and happiness.
Who Is Full Of The Most Shit In Regards To Penis Size?
After examining over 15,000 people — men ages 17 to 91 in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States — researchers have determined that the average erect penis length is 5.14 inches. This, and other findings of this study, means many people are up to their necks in bullshit. Who exactly is up to their neck in…
Actually, Some Men Do Trust Women
Because I’m the type of guy who is prone to document a personal ah-ha moment in a blog post, I appreciated what Damon wrote here the other day on inherently not trusting women; specifically, with their feelings. He wrote:
Men Just Don't Trust Women. And This Is A Problem
It took five months of marriage, eight months of being engaged, and another year of whatever the hell we were doing before we got engaged for me to learn something about my wife. Actually, that's misleading. I've learned many things about my wife in that time period. I learned that she owns both a snuggie and a…
