    Men are so great because all they need is a possibility and the sky is the limit for them. There’s nothing like the enthusiasm a guy has when he first lays eyes on a lady. That enthusiasm is almost infectious. He’s so enthralled with her magnificence and beauty. He gives her all the glory, almost as if she’d just discovered the cure for cancer. A woman could say almost anything and still be regarded as royalty in his eyes. In that moment, to him, she is the most interesting individual in the wor ...

Just below deadbeats on the blame pie for the ills of society are single moms.

    Living in Los Angeles, I’ve met a ton of over forty but never married women. These are beautiful, sane, successful women who you would think would have had no problem finding a man to marry. If you talk to these women casually they will tell you that they were unwilling to settle or men can’t handle independent women or they’re perfectly happy being single but if you get them to open up they’ll tell you about that guy. There’s always that one guy who led her on, wasted her time and left her brok ...

ARE YOU MARRIAGE MATERIAL?

I was having a conversation with my teenage daughter about a friend of ours who recently broke up with her boyfriend of three years. My daughter asked me if I thought the lady in question would ever get married to which I answered “sure, she’s definitely marriage material,” to which my daughter asked, “How do you know if you’re marriage material?”   The instant my daughter asked that question my mind flashed back to a famous federal case where a judge was asked to define obscenity the judge replied, “I can’t define it but I know it when I see […]

WHY THE ALPHA-MALE IS AVOIDING YOU

Some women have a lot of masculine energy, either by nature or nurture.  With an abundance of this masculine energy a woman will attract a man who may seem a bit delicate and/or bump heads with a man who himself gives off an abundance of masculine energy so don’t blame society for the ‘lack of strong men’, because they are out there.  The fact is, your energy simply repels them.       I actually used to have more masculine energy.  My mother was a Black Panther and a gangster, and very smart and demonstrative with her intelligence.  Under her roof, […]

How Weaves Are Destroying Black Relationships

WEAVE, it all seems so harmless, a pony tail here, a sew-in there.  This simple but lucrative industry has single handedly destroyed the black relationship and family structure.   The effects of heroin, alcoholism and crack where were painfully obvious.  As a community we were aware of the enemy and were able to fight against it.  Through it all we were able to maintain our family structure and core values but weave is different.  Weave is subtle.    In the past 20 years the black relationship has hit many icebergs that have left us unable to move forward.  It appears that the […]

Coping With Relationship Attention Deficit Disorder

We at Fresh Takes have discovered a new disorder we like to call RADD.  Relationship Attention Deficit Disorder which may be a major inhibitor for anyone with a social media account or online dating account who is trying to find that special person.  RADD is the inability to focus on any one person long enough to form a true connection due to the distractions of multiple suitors.        With Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the whole slew of other social media outlets, we are forming more connections than any other time in history. With just a click, you can get […]

Can You Handle An Alpha Male?

I’ll never forget the day my daughter, who was in sixth grade at the time, dashed into the family room to give me a blow by blow account of how Jared had beaten up Malik on her middle school’s playground.  As she rushed through the story I couldn’t help but notice how her face lit up as she described to me how the other boys gave Jared much respect and high fives after the fight.  Typical female to be attracted to an alpha male, I thought to myself.  Typical because females of all species throughout nature are genetically wired to […]

PUTTING YOUR EGGS IN A BROKE BASKET

Let me address you women who I like to call Investors.  You’re like the best girlfriend ever. You volunteers to help him organize his closet.  You cook his meals ahead of time so he can have a meal every day since you don’t live together.  You are just oh so helpful. You’re easy like Sunday Morning. You are so willing to assist him, accommodate him, help him, you makes life a breeze.   You compliment him all the time and are so appreciative of anything he does for you. What a blessing you are! However, let’s be honest, there’s a method […]

THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT CHILD SUPPORT

I stood outside looking out the window at the traffic on the street. Trying to figure out how we get here. A person who was my confidant had become someone I only communicated with via legal counsel. I stood looking out that window trying to figure out how this new twist in my life story is going to affect the rest of the book. My lawyer turned to me and said, “Ok it looks like since you will be awarded full custody, your child support payment of $3,100 will begin next month.  Just sign here.” I immediately became relieved. Relieved […]

THE PRACTICE WIFE

Recently I’ve discovered a new category of woman who I call “The Practice Wife.” These women are kind, articulate, smart, supportive and accomplished. Additionally, they are usually attractive and people consider them “catches” so nobody can figure out why they are single. I was intrigued by these women because when you take a closer look they all share something noteworthy. After a breakup, the men they were involved with, quickly find another woman and get married.  Usually there is no apparent upgrade from the practice wife to the actual wife so I really wanted to know what the heck was […]

Meet the Fresh Faces of Fresh Takes Magazine

Here are the contributors to Fresh Takes Magazine: Summer Adawn is an Atlanta area actress and a former radio personality.  Her controversial article “Divorced is the new sexy” was featured on a nationwide radio talk show and sparked an intense dialogue about why divorced women seem to find their way back to the alter faster than never married women.  Her comic style is a joy to read. Elaine Forte is Fresh Takes’ globe trotter.  Her travel agency business takes her to all corners of the globe but the Chicago native is quick to call men, even international men, on their BS.  Elaine’s epic Facebook battles have been known to humble […]

Marriage! What’s in it for Men?

I recently asked my Facebook friends why men should get married and to no surprise, there were a lot of crickets.  A few of my more religious friends quoted the scripture “He who finds a wife finds a good thing,” some made reference to tax breaks and of course there were the claims that married men live longer. Now I’m not one to contradict the good book but I really feel that passage should read “He who finds a good wife finds a good thing,” because a bad wife can mess up your life worse than a bad boss can.  […]

DIVORCED IS THE NEW SEXY!

5 Reasons Divorced Women are Marrying Faster than Single Women Divorced women are effortlessly finding Husband #2 while single women, with or without children, are having difficulty finding Husband #1. Once women hit the age of 30, the statistics become alarmingly worse. But why is that? What do divorced women have that makes their chances of matrimony greater? Here are the top five reasons why men are making a dash to the aisle faster with repeat offenders. Credibility: When a man sees a beautiful, intelligent woman over 30 who hasn’t jumped the broom yet, he thinks one thing, “What’s wrong […]

NICE GUYS AINT SHIT!

Attention nice guys, you ain’t shit! Now what I mean by that is, if the first thing people say about you is, “he’s a nice guy,” that means that there’s nothing else remarkable to say about you. Being nice simply means you’re not an asshole. Now don’t get me wrong, nice is a preferred quality over being an asshole but it’s not nearly enough in and of itself. Being nice should be a condiment not the main course. It’s not even important enough to be the icing not the cake, it’s more like the cherry on top. You want the […]
