Bol Bol may have gotten some sense, but too many men haven’t, and until more of them do, expect the sexual marketplace imbalance to continue.

Denver Nuggets player Bol Bol has apparently ended his relationship with Instagram and Onlyfans model Mulan Hernandez, and the speculation is that he ended the relationship after she participated in a Tik Tok trend in which women admit to being gold diggers for life. Bol Bol may have gotten some sense, but until more men do, occurrences like this will be rare and the imbalance in dating and relationships will continue.

Why the Onlyfans Sexually Explicit Content Ban Changes Nothing

As long as there is a market, the service providers will remain.

Beginning in October, Onlyfans will ban sexually explicit content – content that it has become most famous for – in an attempt to de-stigmatize itself as an amateur porn site and become a more mainstream premium content creator space. While some people think this is a win for the good guys, it actually changes nothing because as long as today’s man is willing to line the pockets of women for virtual love, the market will dictate a steady demand for the service. If Onlyfans bows out of the sex trade, another platform will step in to fill the void. As I’ve always said, if you want Onlyfans and social media models to be taken down a peg, men need to stop creating the demand for the marketplace.

Once again, we have another cautionary tale as to why men need to make better decisions when it comes to correcting the current state of dating.

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington is staring down the barrel of relationship disfunction and child support hell after the ending of his relationship with social media star and Instagram model, Brittany Renner. While everyone is entitled to be with who they want to be with, it is nevertheless reasonable to question the judgment of a man who willfully enters into a relationship with a woman who wrote a book detailing her sexual relationships with men in the sports and entertainment industries. I keep saying that the current chaotic state of dating and relationships is mostly the result of men’s poor decision-making habits. If we want it to change, men are going to have to make better choices.

Why are we still talking about the problems with interracial relationships?

When NFL quarterback Robert Griffin, III posted a video on Instagram showing appreciation to his white wife, people naturally went off the handle and resumed the discussion on why it is bad for black men to date interracially. This is a discussion that is getting old by the minute for two reasons. First, as society changes and black people continue to climb the socioeconomic ladder, their dating preferences will evolve along with them. Second, and most important, if black women want to see black men “stay home”, all they have to do is listen to what black men say they want and provide that!

Whether women prefer men who are wanted by other women shouldn’t be up for debate. Rather, we need to discuss how women being honest about that can help to foster better relationships for everyone.

During a recent episode of his podcast “ExpediTIously”, rapper and entrepreneur T.I. asserted that women are only attracted to men who keep other women and have options. We discuss whether this is valid, and the importance of women being honest with themselves so that we can try to retain some semblance of the notion of “relationships”.

What Paul George being clowned for his relationship with an ex-stripper can teach men about simping, knowing their value, and how to seek successful relationships.

We talk about the remarks that Damian Lillard’s sister made toward Paul George when she involved herself in her brother’s social media back-and-forth with George, who infamously got with a stripper and now shares two children with her. We talk about simping, whether it’s a real thing, and how it has fundamentally changed dating, relationships, and the way men and women interact with one another.

Good judgement when it comes to the women you keep company with is just as important to sustaining your career as anything else.

During the 2020 NFL Draft, Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb attracted humorous attention when a domestic tiff between he and his girlfriend was caught on camera. While much ado about nothing on the surface, this can serve as a great example of the need for good judgement on the part of pro athletes and entertainers, especially when it comes to the women they choose to spend their time with.
