What Do Dating Sites Offer? | Single Independent Sistah
https://singleindependentsistah.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/what-do-dating-sites-offer
What Do Dating Sites Offer? Dating someone with whom you have common interests makes perfect sense. If you’re a sci-fi. Enthusiast, finding a mate who appreciates aliens and paranormal activities not only means you’ll likely enjoy the same movies and TV shows, but also that your significant other won’t ridicule you for suggesting the two of you attend the Star Trek convention. That beats the alternatives which are (1) your partner learning to. However, there’s also the possibility that it’s about accepta...

Author Archive for Single Sistah. When TOEs (Terms of Endearment) Stink. I’ve heard it said that more than any other word on the planet, a woman loves to hear the sound of her own name, but I won’t deny that hearing a tenderly uttered and perfectly timed baby or honey from the right person can sometimes send a little chill up the spine. It’s not that it’s completely unappreciated now, but maybe it wasn’t quite as deep as you thought. Most would likely find that sort of personalization preferable to being...

Don’t Ask For a Smile | Single Independent Sistah
https://singleindependentsistah.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/dont-ask-for-a-smile
Don’t Ask For a Smile. I consider myself a pretty reasonable person. I try not to let little things irritate me, but I’m human and like many, I have a few pet peeves. They may not seem like huge deals to others, but when confronted with these things, it’s easy to find me slowly counting backwards from 100 or repeating the serenity prayer to myself like an enraged Bruce Banner trying not to change into the Hulk. It’s not that bad. Your Face is Whack:. Basically, what I’m being told is that my face looks s...

The ‘Taxi-Cab Theory’ Is Real | Single Independent Sistah
https://singleindependentsistah.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/the-taxi-cab-theory-is-real
The ‘Taxi-Cab Theory’ Is Real. My friends and I refer to it as the Taxi-Cab Theory. I didn’t consider it too valid, since it’s impossible to know what really goes on in others’ relationships, so I was surprised to hear it addressed in the recent ABC Nightline special. It turns out we were on to something. What’s the Taxi-Cab Theory? Some men get to a point, a maturity level and it clicks in them, ‘Well, nobody I ever dated was perfect. So, the next person I’m gonna date’s not gonna be perfect either,...

Re-examining the Deal Breakers | Single Independent Sistah
https://singleindependentsistah.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/re-examining-the-deal-breakers
Re-examining the Deal Breakers. Some people suggest that I’m still single because I have high standards. I won’t disagree with that. It wasn’t long ago that my list of deal breakers and pet peeves reached from the floor to the ceiling. Anyone with horrible grammar, dirty nails, a four-syllable last name, who admired Lil Wayne or didn’t know at least the first verse of Rapper’s Delight was automatically eliminated as a potential candidate. Where does the compromise end? In a perfect world, a guy would fit...

Steve Harvey: Thanks, but No Thanks | Single Independent Sistah
https://singleindependentsistah.wordpress.com/2011/01/22/steve-harvey-thanks-but-no-thanks
Steve Harvey: Thanks, but No Thanks. Maybe if he makes it to his golden anniversary this time around, I’ll change my tune. One could argue that he’s speaking from experience. So, maybe his failed marriages have taught him how to make relationships work. However, from what I’ve read of his books and from what I’ve heard him preach, his shtick is more about telling single sistahs what to do to get a man than it is about instructing couples on how to maintain healthy relationships. Whether you’re on Team Ha...
