Attention Young Men:

I am surrounded by 20 year old girls in my life that are smart, capable, hard working and cute. Nobody is dating them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don’t get it.

Step 1: Stop playing video games

Step 2: Head to great clips and get that lettuce cleaned up

Step 3: Hit a shower (when dating hygiene is critical)

Step 4: Go clean your car

Step 5: Sign up for a yoga class

Step 6: Go to the yoga class

Step 7: Ask a cute for her phone number at yoga class (yes you can meet girls IRL and not just on the apps - 10/10 the Dirt Dog highly recommends)

Step 8: Follow up within 2 days with a phone call and ask them out for this coming weekend Friday or Saturday night.

Step 9: IMPORTANT - come up with a good game plane for date night. Get a dinner reservation, get an activity planned. Let them know in advance what you are doing so they can dress appropriately. I know you are gunna roll off the couch and head to date night, but they are not. They are going to stress about what to wear and call at least 6 different people on FaceTime to ask their opinion.

Step 10: I highly recommend you bring flowers to the door step. I’m not covering that you go to the doorstep, because if you don’t do that you have no hope here. Women want men to date them. You don’t need to break the bank on flowers. Head to Trader Joe’s. Grab 2 different kinds of flowers. If you don’t know what matches find the closest looking lady to your mom at TJ’s and ask her. Wrap the 2 flowers into 1 bouquet with paper. Bonus Points you can cut open a TJ bag and use that as the paper.

Step 11: Be a gentleman on the date. She isn’t there to hear your life story. Ask her about her. For every 1 question you answer, ask her 3. Open Doors, pay for the meal, be polite.

Provided you follow most of this guideline you are highly likely to get yourself an opportunity for date number 2.

Keep going until you find someone that you can’t imagine not being around all the time. That’s when you have found a good one for you.

My life is complete with my wife as my companion. I wish you the same fortune in life. Happy Hunting.

In 1997, five old men were flown to the White House so that a President of the United States could apologise to them in person.

They were the last survivors of the Tuskegee syphilis study.

The oldest man to speak was ninety-four. He had been lied to by the United States government for forty years.
Herman Shaw.

The study ran from 1932 to 1972. Six hundred Black men in Macon County, Alabama — three hundred and ninety-nine of them with syphilis — were told they were being treated for "bad blood."

They were not treated. That was the point. The researchers wanted to watch the disease run its full course to death and then examine the bodies.

When penicillin became the standard cure in the 1940s, the men were deliberately kept away from it.

The study's staff intervened to stop them being treated elsewhere, including through the draft board.

It was ended in 1972 only because a whistleblower went to the press.

By the time of the apology, only eight of the men were still alive. Five were well enough to travel.

Herman Shaw stood at the podium in the East Room, at ninety-four, and spoke. He said the wounds that were inflicted could never be undone, but that he was there in the hope that it would never happen again and that it could begin to heal.

He had been a farmer his whole life. He had gone to the clinic because he was told he was being cared for.

The President apologised and said what the government had done was shameful.

That is the whole story. Forty years of being watched. Twenty-five more years of nothing. Then an hour in a nice room, and five old men, and the word sorry.

The Tuskegee survivors deserved more than an apology—they deserved to have what was done to them remembered. We created an ebook to keep these histories from being buried again https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

if trauma is stored in the hips than wtf is in the shoulders because damn.

[Matthew Coast @MatthewCoast]

I don’t care how INDEPENDENT or self sufficient she seems to be, treat her well. Buy her things. Take her out. Court her. PURSUE her. She’s only doing everything alone because she HAS to, not because she wants to.

sometimes I don’t want an apology. I want you to experience the exact situation you put me through so I can see if you still think that the shit was okay. 🧐

Yes I'm currently reading a book.

No it's not a book about making money or stopping procrastination.

Yes it's a fictional book about people that don't exist.

Yes I feel happy and fulfilled.

Shawn and Nikki went back and forth like a real housewives of Atlanta reunion! #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight

[NOTYOURDOLLY @dollycuteass]

Infidelity is such an interesting concept because you’re cheating on somebody YOU chose to be with. Nobody forced you to be in that relationship. You made a conscious decision to choose that person, commit to them, and then turn around and betray them. Cheating isn’t some random accident it’s a choice you made while knowing exactly who you were hurting. 💯

NO!

[Lady Yak 🌪️ @Nisha_Booh]

A nigga knowing all the fucked up shit he did to you & still thinking he deserves any type of grace from you is mind boggling.
