Friday Love Notes: Is It Better To Be A Jump Off Or A Wife?
In an age where it seems evil is good and ying is yang, jump off's are getting better perks than wives are. How is that you're a jumpoff yet you're cast on the Real Housewives Of Atlanta? While the wife of the same man who paid for the jumpoff's boobs, lips and "makeup" has to grin and bear it, albeit with some benefits of her own I'm sure. Wouldn't want to give up that title of Mrs. Big would we? Why should she? What is the purpose of getting married in this new age of celebrity fanatics (stans) and reality ...

Friday Love Notes: Should She Put Her Career On Hold For Babies?
It's Friday night in the Knowles-Carter household and Beyonce has had an amazing week. Her new perfume Heat is the number #1 selling fragrance and she just took home 6 Grammy's, a first for any woman ever. She's at home sleeping in his T-shirt when in walks Jay-Z who just came back from sitting courtside, Knicks and Nets giving him high-5's. After this amazingly successful week for his loving wife all he has to say is: "You just won 6 Grammy's, you smell good, now what about that baby you promised me in Dangerously In Love?" I don't think it's meant ...
Friday Love Notes: Is Your Value System A Major Influence When Choosing A Lifelong Mate?
A value system is defined as a set of consistent ethic values (more specifically the personal and cultural values) and measures used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity. A well defined value system is a moral code. Most children are taught & shown different things by their parents & neighbors that shape who we are for years to come. At that age we have a limited sight distance that consists of our family, schoolmates & members of our place of worship. When we turn 18 and venture off into the world how much of these teachings do we carry ...
Friday Love Notes: I Love The Sex…But I Can’t Stand Him! [NSFW]
What is a girl to do if she still on it? This week I received a very interesting email in my box. It seems a reader feel's compelled to be in a situation that SHE THINKS know one can understand but her. In short, she slipped up and got dickmatized by a coworker!

He was cool enough to let me get a quick interview with him for the site. CMONGOOD:What made you want to start designing jewelry?

Friday Love Notes: What’s It Take For A Down Ass Bitch To Become Wifey?
As ambitious men navigating your way through perilous, rocky crossroads in your career, it would seem likely that when you arrive to the top of your game you want the lovely lady standing next to you to be at your level. They say to get to the top you have to step on a lot of people on the way up. Is your down ass chick someone that gets sacrificed in the climb? In several songs in pop culture, women have been told that we need to stick with our men through ups and downs, thick and thins, ...

What is the purpose of getting married in this new age of celebrity fanatics (stans) and reality TV? Love and marriage in a mere 3 months? Our desire for instant gratification has tarnished the age old marriage union. Phylicia Rashād’s (Claire Huxtable) ex husband is now on his fourth marriage. He left her for billionaire Sale Johnson who is the ex wife of New York Jets and Johnson & Johnson owner Woody Johnson. Not to mention Shaq and Shaunie, Jill Scott and Lyzel, Dwayne and Siohvaughn, A-Rod and Cynthia, Madonna and Guy, Melinda and D-Nice, Allen Iverson and Tawanna etc. These marriages, divorces and remarriages all make my head spin.

This is all makes me wonder what’s the big deal about being a wifey nowadays? I mean I could live a pretty lavish life, minus some of the stress and pain if I just became a mistress, a libertine, a kept woman. Wearing the brand of scarlet letter sure ain’t as damning as it has been in decades past. Homewrecker? Please. Tiger’s lil “homewrecker” landed a correspondent job on Extra.
Who really has it better? While the wife is lied to and has everything hidden from them, the mistress knows the deal coming into the situation. But to be in love with a married man and have to hide your true feelings from the world, his family and sometimes yourself is a tremendous burden on your soul.
Obviously, the big draw in being with a cheating man seems to be his money. More After The Jump »
