If J-Lo & Halle Can’t Keep a Man How Can You?
or the record, this is not another bash single (Black) women post. There’ve been enough of those to date. Now that that’s out the way let’s begin… Last week news broke that Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony were filing for divorce. While I may be in the minority, I though that this one would last [...]
What’s Your Favorite Cereal Ever? #FlashbackFriday
was walking by a co-worker’s desk the other morning and I noticed she was eating Pops cereal with no milk. It’s not like she asked, but I commented, “I never liked Pops, but Honey Smacks was my ish.” She looked back at me with a blank stare indicative of how most 80s babies respond when [...]
Should Men Get Engagement Rings Too?
ife isn’t fair. That’s one of life’s sad truths. Still, it seems a bit unbalanced that in the business of marriage women walk away with not one but two rings while men only get one (and the receipt). It’s like a game of tag that ends on an odd number. She gets a pricey engagement [...]

How Do I Look? (Still Naked Just With Different Socks On)
elcome back to the new and improved Naked With Socks On. The site’s been around for three years now and it’s been a two-and-a-half years since the last redesign so I figured it was time to shake things up again. I know not everyone likes change but I hope that you’ll agree the new layout [...]
5 Confessions – How I Knew My Spouse Was “the One”
or this edition of my “Why I Got Married” series I decided to switch things up by making it co-ed. Instead of just polling my male married friends, I reached out to a couple happily married wives for their perspective for us single folks as well. The question I posed to my married brain trust [...]
