    Why do you make it a point to say that you are a grown man? Not once, but twice. Just curious.. :)

    So, yes, I’m going to be honest here: …your blog is…well it gets to me. The honest and open male opinion…it’s fascinating, really. Sometimes you say things that as a woman, I already know, but needed to hear from a man. And sometimes you write things and I’m like…um…really, or is he kidding? Either way, it’s always an enlightening pleasure to hear your perception of the world.Makes me smile, makes me think, sometimes makes my heart hurt for past affections, but it’s always good. Definitely appreciate your writing…!! Thx for sharing.

    This entire blog is idiotic. I pity anyone who finds this entertaining or enlightening.

  • Belledaball

    You can’t find it that idiotic, because you took the time to post on it. Maybe you should stop sipping that Jezebel Kool-Aid.

  • Mipo

    You just mad cause he aint praising it.

  • Misho

    I wonder what he’s say after marriage, if his friend was in the hospital and needed to be picked up? Would he say “I gotta take care of my hubby/wifey so no”

  • Mschatman

    Great blog. It’s very refreshing to get the male perspective on love & relationships, without the need to disrespect women.

  • Blackmenshealth

    Nice site, I have bookmarked your site yet and I will come back again! You have a greatest site. I believe that conditions like Impotence are serious disorders and should not be taken lightly at all. Thus, through my detailed articles and blogs, I hope to raise awareness amongst the men regarding various sexual health issues faced by men.
