Self-Reflect and Accept Change By Mel

I NEVER understand why people are so desperate to get into a relationship without focusing on themselves. Cuffing season has become the new norm in today's dating age and no wonder why there are so many incomplete relationships. Shortcomings are bound to happen when you put in shortcoming efforts which equals shortcoming results...it's not rocket science. When people market themselves in a particular way by showing their romantic side or being independent it is completely opposite when they are in a relationship. For example, they unleash their bag of unlucky charms which cursed them from their last relationship hoping that their significant other will accept them.

By not practicing what you ...

And ladies, you shouldn’t be out getting your drink on, leaving your fourteen year old teenager to watch your younger kids. The fact is, even when we were all young, the chances that men and women could find a meaning full relationship in a club was next to zero, but closer to 5%. “Wait a minute”, you may ask, “how can that be quantified?” I’ll explain. Simply, when we go out to the clubs, 90% of the men are trying to get with 10% of the women and 90% of the women are trying to get with 10% of the men. So, the likelihood that there will be any kind of real hookup is 5%, half of 10%. Besides, the club is a terrible place to meet someone. They are overly hyped by the radio station and promoters, who make it seem like your life will end if you don’t go to their club Friday and Saturday nights. Additionally, the mixed alco...
