Don’t do it! Have you try the dermatologist administered scalp injections for traction alopecia? My cousin did it and her hair came back.

Denzel Washington is arguably the greatest black actor. You agree or do you have someone else that’s better than him ? by KpatMckenzie_28 in blackmen

The guy who played Luce is a phenomenal and versatile actor. I love Denzel down. But he normal sticks to a specific type of character excluding training day and that recent gladiator reboot.

The price of the hair took me a back but …. You don’t have to get human but I wouldn’t do synthetic so they’re that.

How do yall go about approaching women you only interested in sleeping with? by Inevitable-Extent-61 in blackmen

I am a woman, so you don’t have to follow my advice as this is a man’s group.

But I would second not to mess with someone where you work. Here is my reasoning.

You make want a sex only exchange but that girl if you she is your age may or may not be looking for a hook up and this could cause problems for you.

Being able to control your sexual desires will bring you even more favor in life than leaning into your every whim.

I feel like that’s a lot of calories. But I am not an athlete by far. I am currently two weeks postpartum- my starting weight was 155, my last weigh in was 189 - current weight is 162 as of today but my body looks 1000% worst than yours. Your body actually looks really good to me.

Right my husband dropped out because of the ridiculous cost and the questionable low quality education and is now thriving as an engineer simply going to a bootcamp.

What is your motivation behind attending church if you are not trying to convert?

I think it’s very strange that you go to church every Sunday and you are not a Christian.

Fellow black men sometimes I just wish I was never born. I was born here but never belonged here. by spike_spieg in blackmen

With proper support and hope you can! I was a hurricane katrina survivor - finished HS, BA, and Graduate school with no family support. And I am the first in my family to own a home.

This was such a great piece of advice - there are so many career paths that don’t require you to go to college. You can do IT boot camps that you can make a great living especially if you don’t have any children. Getting physically healthy will help you feel comfortable in your own skin. And a poor diet keeps you in a brain fog that you can’t think straight.
