"Ask the Guys: Question #4"
QUESTION: I used to be really laid back with my boyfriends, but never got what I wanted out of my relationships. Recently I started nagging my man and all of a sudden he became much more loving and attentive. Do men really like to be nagged, even if they complain about it to their friends?

Bachelor #1 - According to the Mac dictionary: Nag 1 |nag| verb (nagged, nagging) [trans.] annoy or irritate (a person) with persistent faultfinding or continuous urging.
To answer this, we need to assume a few things that were not stated, but inferred. We can assume that the relationship that you didn’t “nag” in ended. You weren’t getting what you wanted out of the relationship, so we can also assume that you probably ended it. You were also concerned about your boyfriend complaining to his friends, so you might be very concerned with what other people think. Now, you say, you’re “bossing” your new man around. It’s tough to say for sure, but I would bet a six-month eHarmoney membership that you don’t necessarily “boss” your man, but you are more assertive about your needs because of the way you were treated in your previous relationship.

Her words followed me home.
Last week was the kind of week that made me wish I wasn’t single, glad I am single, hate being single, and then appreciate my singleness. Confused? So am I.
It's my birthday this week, so for this blog I thought I’d write about the best and worst gifts I’ve ever received from past flings. This train of thought kills two very important birds with one stone, one: writing the blog, duh, sorry to test your patience/intellect. two: it allows my editor to stop pistol whipping me and get down to editing. BUT I digress! 
Some black women feel that light skinned women have it easier. Do you feel that way too? What about white women who have fair or medium skin, or Latin ladies who have a dark olive skin tone? Do you think skin tone plays a role in every race? 
After over a week of “online dating” without actually going on dates, I decide to give the in-person thing a shot. Several of the guys I’ve been conversing with have asked me out—and dozens of guys to whom I have no intention of responding —have asked me out. But I’m eventually won over by “Johnny” when he, in our online chatter, calls Taboo (my favorite board game of all time) the “thinking man/woman’s Cranium.” 
Try some organic sugar. Whether you bake or not, when the alternative sweeteners like agave don't quite fit the recipe, organic versions of a sweet tooth's fave drug taste way better than artificial sweeteners, and fewer pesticides help sweeten the deal.
