The Single Black Male

I have to give credit where it is due and this guy that writes this blog is VERY funny. Check out some of his posts and let me know what you think.

Virginia's biggest loser +1

So, William Taylor (left) really messed up. And his wife made him pay by wearing this silly sign admitting his adultery.
------------------------------------

Manlaw: Is this the new punishment for adultery? I hope not because no one is winning here.

William is "suffering" temporary embarrassment by wearing this silly sign but did he really learn his lesson and will he never cheat on his wife again?

We don't know that for sure.

His wife doesn't win either because the world now knows her husband stepped out on her and her marriage. I hope there are no kids in this family because they've been exposed to unnecessary shame not to mention family and friends that know these two idiots.

So, Mrs. Taylor if you really want to make a statement next time, do it quietly and file for divorce or better yet...stop with the gimmicks and make your cheating husband sleep on the couch with no sex for a month...that's if you plan to forgive him. If not, go with option No. 1 and keep the rest of the world out of your marriage.

"My Affair Wasn't 'Legally Wrong' "

John Ensign Article

That quote above was said by esteemed US Senator John Ensign. He used this in comparing his affair to Bill Clinton when asked if he should resign.

This is the most wack excuse ever. I am sure every cheating man in America has considered using that excuse. However, I am sure Ensign is the only guy to ever actually use it. If I was to ever cheat, I am going to use a better line. Here are some good examples:

"Babe, it was an accident. I kind of slipped, fell, and landed in the va-jay-jay"

" I was drunk"

" My heart ain't got nothing to do with my penis. He says that you are still his favorite (Thanks Kanye)"

All of these are better than "my affair wasn't legally wrong".

50 Grand a month for some....

I can't even finish the phrase from Method Man talking about the $55,000 Kelis was awarded in child support and spousal support from Nas recently. I saw that 75 percent of that money is for spousal support and the other 25 percent is for child support.

You can search on Youtube for the NC-17 rated clip as Method Man and Redman voice their opinion on child support and spousal support.

Removing the "derogatory lines" out of straight frustration. I agree 1 million percent with the underlying message that Method Man and Redman are saying.

Long term spousal support is wrong.
My thoughts: If you were making an income, then spousal support should be a
one-time payment equal to your total earnings from the previous tax year. If you
were not making an income, then spousal support should be a one-time payment
equaled to what the richer party spent on the spouse the previous tax year.

College fund as part of child support.
My thoughts: I don't know if this is standard but it probably should be. As part
of the child support package, I would like to see men have to dedicate money to
a college fund THAT THE MOTHER CAN'T TOUCH and only the child can reclaim on
their 18th birthday. If the child should die before their 18th birthday, the
mother should then get the money or have the money split between the mother and
father.

He Shoots, He Scores

I never thought anyone could give the Shawn Kemp's (seven kids by six women) or the Travis Henry's (11 kids by 10 women) a run for their money but I've got a name for you.

Desmond Hatchet

He's 29 and get this (insert drum roll music)...he's got 21 kids by 11 women. Mr. Hatchet you sir are a winner. Of course, I'm being facetious.

Yes. He's got Kemp beat by 2 touchdowns and he's got Henry, a football player for that matter, beat by a touchdown and a field goal. And here's the kicker: he's got a minimum wage job (which wasn't identified in the clip). So, if you are a resident of the state of Tennessee, you should be angry because you are paying for all those "x" and "y" chromosomes

I understand everyone has civil rights and the government shouldn't be telling people how many kids they can have BUT...Mr. Hatchet's case is utterly ridiculous. According to the clip, the state of Tennessee can only take half of his wages but considering he's on minimum wage that can't be a lot. And when you start dividing that 21 ways...we are probably talking a few dollars and even a fewer cents.

Obviously, Hatchet deserves every ounce of blame thrown his way but wait a minute, the women in this case are not angels and obviously they are not too bright either. It is not like he's worth millions and we can clearly see you are just after a piece of his money. That I can begrudgingly accept...I'm going to still call you trifling but we at least know you had a plan.

A friend had the best Facebook status to describe how I feel about the women: "Clearly Mr. "I'm 29 and I have 20-21 kids" is pitiful. But what's the adjective for baby momma #3-#11? Ignorance is bliss and it will also get you $1.89 in child support."

I laughed when I read the status message but clearly this isn't funny and baby momma No. 3 to No. 11 have some explaining to do. I can only imagine what they said to their parents. "Hey....mom and dad. I've got a surprise for you. I'm having a baby with Desmond. Yeah. He's got...um....I'm not sure how many kids he's got really."

Well, baby momma "No. 3 to No. 11" you should checked how many kids he had. You also should have done some research (based on the state you live in) on the child support laws. Most importantly, you should have made him wear a condom. Because clearly, you are not ready to be a mother if you are depending on a man with a minimum wage job and an exponential amount of illegitimate kids to support you. I thought people took STDs, STIs, HIV and AIDS seriously but we've found one extreme example of adults who don't get it.

Let's be real. This guy's game can't be that good that he convinced 11 women to let him go raw. It may be true but I just can't buy it. I also can't believe that there were nine women that just wanted to add onto this family tree. That may be true too but I just can't buy it.

Manlaw and womanlaw: This will probably never happen (because of civil rights laws) but the state of Tennessee needs to make an example of Mr. Hatchet and his bevy of women. The state shouldn't support any more kids that he has. Period. Not one penny. Also, the state should change the laws to go after 75 percent of his check or change the law that says after a certain amount of kids the percentage the state takes goes up. I'm not sure how you punish the women but I think if you start educating young women about the child support laws that might be a start. The basic premise should be this: the more kids a man has the less in child support you are going to get. So, it probably isn't wise to be baby momma No. 3 to No. 11. Let me backtrack again, maybe the state of Tennessee needs to get tough and start pushing vasectomies and tubal ligations. At least, these careless individuals can screw up their own lives and not bring innocent children into the world. Maybe even create a baby daddy or baby momma registry.

If you live in the NYC area...

and would like to attend a live discussion of Steve Harvey's "Act Like a Lady: Think Like a Man...then come to Phillip Marie on Sunday, May 3rd at 1 p.m. sharp.

I'll be there co-hosting with a friend of mine. It is sure to be a lively discussion. The deal is unlimited mimosas for brunch for $25/per person. So, bring cash. Any other questions e-mail me at brothersmanlaw@yahoo.com.

Act Like a Lady: Think Like a Man Discussion (Part 2)

I want to say thank you to the 165 people that tuned into the live chat on Easter Sunday. I'm not sure if all the chatters were women but I suspect a very good portion were that night. Thank you for the support.

I hope you enjoyed the comments from my man Keith and I about the topics that Steve Harvey mentioned in his book. Someone asked when are we going to do a chat like this again and the honest answer is, I don't know.

If someone wants our thoughts (the male perspective...that is) on a specific topic about dating e-mail us at brothersmanlaw@yahoo.com and I'll see if I can't turn it into a blog entry or another chat.

Once again thanks for making the 4 hour and 47 minute chat (I was only planning on 2 hours max...lol) a total success.
