Hey Girl,

The one you actually want looks just like the picture and is specifically called Hello Hydration. I have never tried the other versions but have heard they do not include ingredients that work with natural hair. If you do try them let me know how they work!

Ms D:

I tried Cantu....it was alright but I am not in love with it.

As for Hello Hydration, we are on condition wash 5 and I have NEVER received so many compliments on my hair as I have in the last two weeks!!! And, it is cheap!!

This product is the truth ladies! Next blog is on what I did after washing (for the natural ladies)

Re: Is Chivalry on Life Support?

Interesting response.

I agreee with you regarding the premise of chivalry and the basis for it. Yes, women were housewives and mothers and life has changed.

What amazes me is how roles have switched. It appears to me now that as men are more comforable with the independent woman they have started to slack on responsibilities or expect more from the woman while giving less in relationships than way back yon.

For instance, men want a woman who works and most don't want a housewife. So you want her to work, open her own doors, care for and educate your kids, cook, clean and etc. Meaning, men have given up their responsibility (working) and have picked up no other responsibilities. So, you work.....what else do you do. So, that being said, you could still pick up a tab, or open a door.

Women aren't the only ones with a heighened sense of entitlements. Men are expecting a lot without changing their game....Your roster is coming up short homey.

I write these things becasue I see the glaring inequalities in relationsihps. Instead of them being a balanced equation or folks adapting and changing. Gen Y does need a shock to the system and worry a lot less about self and more about the whole.

Here is a comment from Ms. Manners about door opening. I felt it was appropriate for the discusion

Gentle Reader,
Keep holding doors, please. You really do not want to learn manners from people who curse you out when you are trying to be courteous. Besides, that was a long time ago, and many such people have since learned that it was not a good idea to stomp out consideration of others.

However, Miss Manners suggests that you drop the bit about its being done to honor ladies. It should be done for anyone who needs it, male or female, simply because we all want to live in a world where not everyone is pushing everyone else out of the way to get in first.

i meant it was interesting in laying out a few of the lesser discussed sex topics. Heck it is even great for the male audience to read.

Re: Is An Emotional Man A Lame?

CocoaDiva — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:54:25 -0000

John...I'm not sure I understand how you say women emasculate a man when he shows a little emotion.

I would love for a man to tell me when he hurts so I can help, or allow me to be helpful in an emotional period in his life. I admit I don't want a man crying every 5 minutes but that is because I am not a big ball of emotions either.

However, I don't see women even given the opportunity to know a man is going through it. Maybe some woman in a prior relationship told the guy to man up but I dont see that happening with many women. Most times we don't even know what the problem is bc men bury their emotional pain.

I find that my hair is really moisturized when I rinse the conditioner out. I also use it as a leave in. I say give the conditioner a shot. For only around $5 its so cheap you could hate it or love it and not feel guilty like some of the more pricey products.

I could see your dermatologist saying scrap Shea. I love it but sometimes if I use it excessively or do not wrap my hair it causes oil issues with my face.

Re: Can You Turn A Hoe Into A Housewife?

Hey if Danger can smash the homies and still have a shot at love..... I kid I kid.

I am apprehensive about this situation. If a person was that promiscuous (male/or female) their past will always come up and rear its ugly head. I think it would take a secure person both secure in their relationship and secure with themselves to take on such a task. Otherwise, trust will always be a factor and you may feel like you are constantly looking over your shoulder.

I do think men have an unfair advantage in the hoation department. I agree with you John. You have to stop allowing that bed post dude into your house. Sometimes we get so excited about a prospect we don't think about the ramifications on our lives.

I really don't want to hold a persons past against them. But I think no matter how you try, under these circumstances, you will always be "that girl/dude."

Re: The Engagement Ring Is The Thing?

CocoaDiva — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:03:39 -0000

Diamonds may have bene enforced or made all shiny to the public but the tradition of engagement rings began way before DeBeers. DeBeers forced the idea of the diamond solitaire on the public.

The tradition of engagement rings as we currently know it arose in the medieval era, when, in 1215, Pope Innocent III instituted a mandatory waiting period from engagement to marriage. For the first few hundred years in the tradition of engagement rings, only the wealthiest nobles could afford precious stones for their rings, and most engagement rings were simple metal bands. Plain bands are still worn as engagement rings by both men and women in many countries, including Denmark, Germany, and Sweden.

Re: Casual Sex Is Screwing Relationships

"Women are coming along to view jump-offs as the thing (a step-down from part-time lady to someones full-time man), but guys still the jump-off is cool because that what we learn as men to an extent. if your parents, friends,etc taught you different and you practice dating, good."

Jumpoffs are the death of everything. My personal opinioin is this ...if you are a jumpoff there is no step up for you. Your promotion is never coming. You are in a dead end job for manual labor only. Women need to realize this and stop settling for being on tap va jay jay. If you want that....ride out. But, I know most of us don't so your settling is only going to lead to your emotional downfall when he stops screwing you and tells you he is in a relationship....
