So If youre looking to get inside the mind of your man the ESSENCE article, "What Black Men Wish Black Women Knew (But Don't Tell Them)" might just fit the bill. In it brothers are dishing on everything from sex to their finances. Apprently we all need to be perking up our ears for this one. For instance in response to the all too common, "Why wont you talk to me??", one brother offers this gem of wisdom:
"Silence doesn't mean that I'm bored with you."
This is for the woman who thinks her man's quiet nature is a sign the relationship is in trouble. Silence to a Black man does not mean we have run out of things to talk about or we're unhappy with you. It actually means we're so comfortable around you that we don't feel the need to say anything at all.
On quiet Sunday afternoons, some men don't like to interact with anyone outside of their home, and they don't want to be in work mode. Some guys cut their cell phone off to avoid talking to family and friends about anything. There are those times when we just want to do nothing and say nothing. (And yes, playing Madden NFL on our Xbox counts.) I love when I am in my woman's company relaxing and not feeling the need to show her "attention." I'm on the couch watching a movie and she's at the other end reading a book. On our chill days, the silence is usually broken with one of us saying, "I'm hungry." Then we just stare at each other because we're both too lazy to move.
Yeah....Im thinking of heading the Walgreens to pick up a copy asap
Here's to getting the inside scoop..
