  How about we create a resume to give to new dating partners that lists our best skills, our experience at the "job", our training, education and background? How many times have you been "written up" or fired? Why would anyone want to "hire" you for their mate? What are your "salary" requirements? If you had a relationship resume, what would be on it?
  
  The call-in number is 347-327-9215. Join me to discuss the qualifications you THINK you have for the job as boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.

  Why Black Women Should Consider Dating Interracially

  Ms. HeartBeat

  Date / Time: 11/22/2009 2:00 AM UTC

  Category: Romance

  
  

  
  Millions of White men are interested in dating Black women, and outnumber the Black women available for interracial dating several to one. A 10/2/95 article which appeared in Jet Magazine proclaimed that 57% of single White men are open to interracial dating, compared to 51% of single Black women. Almost half the Black female population over the age of 18 in the U.S. is single. We'll explore the nuances of love between races, what Black women need that they aren't getting from Black men, and the fears and stereotypes which may be preventing Black women from opening their arms and hearts to White men. Does love really have a color?
  Cheryl Y. Judice, Ph.D., is a sociologist and professor of African American Studies at Northwestern University and the author of the only scholarly treatise on black females with White men entitled "Interracial Relationships - Black Women and White Men."
  Karyn Folan is the author of a soon to be released book on the same subject entitled "Don't Bring Home A White Boy and other Notions that Keep Black Women From Dating Out." Karyn feels that "Black women aren't doing anything 'wrong' as far as dating goes... but the math is against us if we're only looking at black men. We outnumber them in some major cities at a ratio which some experts say could be as high as 10:1. That means we have two choices: look beyond race for romantic partners or remain single."
  Cicely J. is the author of the soon to be released book Black Men vs. White Men – The Black Woman's Choice. Cicely feels that more and more Black women are falling for their Mr. Right in the form of blonde hair and blue eyes because Darnell, DaQuan, and Tyrone are not equipped to meet her halfway.
  Join me and my guests as we discuss the pros, cons and controversy associated with interracial relationships between White men and Black women!

  Nice Guys - Why Are Nice Guys Losers in the Dating Game?

  Nice guys are confused about why they can't get the woman they want and why players get all the girls.
  
  This was the subject of discussion on March 19th on the Sucka Free Dating Talk Show. And I discovered some interesting facts as well as wildly negative perceptions of nice guys, especially by men!
  
  Nice guys were labeled as losers, social rejects, short, angry little dickheads with no skills, weak and effeminate. Nice guys are angry at players. But players understand women's needs and give them what they want, make them feel hot and sexy and womanly and attractive.
  
  Nice guys instead try to befriend women and approach in a way that makes a woman see him as a brother, not a lover. Nice guys also tended to be overly giving, supplicating, and much too agreeable which made women feel like they could walk all over him and he'd just lay there and take it.
  
  Women hate that kind of thing, and want a man to be strong - mentally, physically, and emotionally.
  
  Rom Wills, author of the book "Nice Guys and Players - Becoming The Man Women Want" concluded the interview with three action items for nice guys:
  

  1. Hit the gym and get your body into shape. Looking like a Tele-Tubby, soft and fat, or soft and skinny does not inspire lust in women. Muscle up and look manly!
  2. Learn to recognize when a woman is showing an interest in you. Women flirt in subtle ways and what players have over nice guys is the ability to pick up on that interest and exploit it!
  3. Respect yourself and feel that you have value. Stop putting yourself down and sucking up to women trying to get their approval all the time. Mental strength means you are confident and comfortable in your skin as a man, whether a particular woman wants you or not.

  Listen to the March 19th broadcast for the full story!

  Definition of the Term Sucka and What it Means to Love Sucka Free

  Apparently, there are still people around that are so out of the loop, they don't know what the term "sucka" means.  A few of them called tonight's broadcast attempting to tell me that a sucka isn't a real world. I guess if you live in the COUNTRY and you are ignorant of other cultures and their terminology and use of language, you might think that.  So in an effort to educate such people, I'm going to explain it. 
  
  A "sucka" can be anyone, male or female, young or old - any race, color, creed or nationality.  We define a "sucka" as an insincere, emotionally unavailable, game playing, opportunistic user.  Player types are included in this hit parade.  Suckas can also be those on the other side of the fence and includes men and women that allow themselves to repeatedly be put into situations where they are loving and giving to someone that is insincere, emotionally unavailable, a user (aka "suckas!").
  
  In my book "Sucka Free Love - How to Avoid Dating The Dumb, The Deceitful, The Dastardly, The Dysfunctional & The Deranged!" readers are presented with tips and techniques to recognize and avoid suckas of all types, reducing the risk of enduring unnecessary trauma and heartbreak.
  
  Loving "Sucka Free" means that you vow to wisely SELECT your partners, not let them select you.  It also means that you refuse to settle for whatever comes along just to avoid being by yourself.  Loving SUCKA FREE means you love smart and in your own best interest!
  
  If you have any questions about what a "sucka" is or how to know if someone you are dating IS a sucka, visit the link above and order your copy.  Listen in to this broadcast each week as well.
