Should Hair Styles Matter in 2016?????

 

 

 

Hairstyles in the work place has gone thru many a change since the 1970's, but does that mean that society is all the better off??? If I was insensitive, I would say just look at the average NBA player, but I won't go there (on this blog) because.......well because.
Note that Midge Wilson, PhD, professor of psychology at DePaul University is quoted as saying "Though policies of what hairstyles are acceptable in the workplace have loosened, hair can still signify certain levels of professionalism"! The question is what sort of messages does your hair  send to the public? Is your hair helping you rise to the top at work—or holding you back? Are you perceived as a certain way because of your personal expressions? Do others look at you and turn away quickly or whisper to someone else, as they both look at you like you are on display at the Smithsonian?
Consider this, hair is one of the first things others notice about you and one of the main ways we declare our identity to them! In fact, hair can play at least 2 basic roles for a person. 1). Its personal, growing directly out of our bodies for all the public to view. 2). Its Malleable, allowing us to change it more or less at a whim! Its not surprising that we use our hair to project our identity and that others see our hair as a reflection of our identity. I do think that hair is more important to women because studies have shown that attractive people tend to get better grades in school, more dates, marriage proposals, higher salaries, better job offers and so! I thought it was unfair, but when you really think about it, most attractive people take time to hook their hair up- Right????
What about men? Sure we like a nice hair cut and shave. Heck, I am a licensed barber and I can see the confidence that men have as they leave the shop! Don't act like I am the only one who has ever seen a facially challenged brother with a fine woman and thought.....How did they hook up? I am sure it was more than his hair, but I feel confident thinking that his barber had something to do with that union!
Anywho, I know I must be getting older because sometimes when I see some of these modern hairstyles, I have to keep my reactions in check. That is how most fights start: when people stare at each other! Look again at the pics above. These are some of the safer pics I found on Google! I don't know if I would hire these people to represent my company. Perhaps I am prejudiced, but then again, I am a business man, who likes my business to make money. I just don't know on this one or rather how I feel about having to 2nd guess my views.
I asked a good friend about this and was told that hair shouldn't matter if one can do the job. Interesting point, but I must ponder.

4 thangz every man wants from his woman......

If you want to win the right man's heart, you need to know what it is that makes a man love and cherish you then listen up suckers,  I'm going to take you inside a man's mind you so you understand what it takes to trigger this kind of connection. And I'm talking about a real man — one who is mature and grounded on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

1). Men love to be active and enjoy sports. We were raised to express ourselves and connect with those around us through action. Unfortunately, too many women seem to forget this and want to talk their way into a man's heart. Some men don't go for that, especially in the 2016! 
It's not your words that make a man attracted to you; it's the experiences you create with him. Watch or play sports together, be competitive in casual games like ping pong, and even add a little teasing and sarcasm here and there.  The key is enjoying each other, without being competitors- because men tend to want to WIN at completion lol!

2). Lots of women mistakenly believe that men are looking for a "weaker" woman who will make them feel like they're smarter and more powerful. We already know we are smarter than yall-lol!  Real men want a woman who inspires them because she has great things going on her own life. We want a woman who has her own purpose other than being in a relationship and getting fat!
Great guyz are not intimidated by independence and success. What matters to a man is that a woman still has space in her life for a great relationship and is grounded and present when she's with him. The best way to communicate this to a man is to stay busy in your own life and not suddenly make him your world. Don't drop your own interests, responsibilities, and friends just to be with us unless its mutual.

3). A woman who has the maturity to not blame or criticize a man for what she's feeling, but to share her feelings in an honest and authentic way that helps a man better understand her, will be attractive to a us! How a woman handles her emotions is one of the most important things we men look for when deciding whether or not to get serious with a woman.
If she lets her emotions get out of control, this is a big red flag 4 reeelz. On the other hand, if she can present her feelings to him in a calm, non-dramatic manner, she will win our respect and make us feel like she's the kind of woman who will be a real partner. Dudes will see that she can handle things with a cool head rather than become a damsel in distress he has to rescue. Captain Save Em is dead!

4). Men aren't as scared of commitment and relationships as they are scared of being in a relationship with a woman where there's no passion and attraction. A common way women accidentally kill the attraction men might be feeling is by either trying too hard to get him to like you, or by being a nagging detective, wanting to know his every move while thinking that he should do or think everything that you would do. If men thought like women.......nevermind-lol!
Make sure you do and say things that interject fun and humor into your relationship from the very start. There's nothing more appealing to a man than a great woman who knows how to relax and have fun without trying to be his mother! You can do this through great conversations (read or learn something and share with him), becoming spiritual and displaying those qualities while putting God first in your life. Also, be a good listener and a person who can follow the path your dude has outlined for your union with him (He is the head of the house-right)

OWN your OWN!!!!!

 

It's always better to OWN...A man who has a basket full of apples for sell will never beat the man who has an apple tree. I am not saying quit your day job, just strive to have your own thing. Trust me, you employer is making waaaaaayyyyyy more $$$ off you than they are paying you to do your job....

This man  "Dan Gilbert" (Cleveland Cavz Owner) had a major melt down when Lebron James left his team a few years ago, so hopefully you all understand why? (He pays LeBron 20 million a year while earning billionaire status). The sad thing is fans got mad like they was the one loosing money until he came back. SMH!

Money Talks...........SUBWAY STYLE......

 

Due to prison overcrowding, Jared Fogle, who recently stuck a deal to serve between five and 12 and a half years in prison for child molestation and possession of child pornography, has been released from federal custody and will serve the remainder of his time on house arrest.
Federal authorities stated that it is not uncommon for non-violent offenders to be given the option to serve their sentences on house arrest. Joseph Rory, a representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, stated, “Mr. Fogle’s case was considered carefully and it was determined that he is not a threat to society and was eligible to serve his time outside of Federal custody. His movements will be closely monitored, and he will not be allowed outside of his home for more than 1 hour per day. All efforts have been made to keep the public safe. Unfortunately, our prisons are operating at nearly 200% over capacity, and it has become impossible to continue to stuff more inmates into buildings that are coming apart at the seams.”
According to the Washington Post, “At the end of 2013, Illinois was housing 48,653 prisoners, according to data published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The state’s prison facilities are designed to hold just 32,075 prisoners, meaning the system is operating at 151 percent of capacity. North Dakota’s 1,571 prisoners live in space meant for 1,044 people, 150 percent of capacity. Nebraska, Ohio, Delaware, Colorado, Iowa and Hawaii are all holding a prison population equal to more than 110 percent of capacity.”

Know what you don't KnoW........

The late king of my community had 10 wild dogs. He used them to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake. 1 of the servants gave an opinion which was wrong, and the king didn't like it at all. So he ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs.
The servant said, "I served you for 10 years and you do this to me? Please give me 10 days before throwing me to those dogs!" The King Agreed.

In those 10 days, the servant went to the guard who looked after the dogs and told him that he would like to serve the dogs for the next 10 days. The guard was discombobulated but agreed, and the servant started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them.

When the 10 days had past, the king remembered and ordered the that servant be thrown 2 the dogs for his punishment. When he was thrown in, ALL were amazed to see that the ravenous dogs only licked the feet of the servant. The King was baffled at what he was seeing, said, "what happened to my dogs????"

The servant replied, "I served the dogs for only 10 days, and they did not forget my service. Yet I severed you for a whole 10 years and you forgot all, at my 1st mistake". The King realized his mistake and ordered the servant to be set free!

The point is  a slight continuation from the previous blog entry. All those who forget the good things a person did for them as soon as the person makes a mistake towards them. Please don't put out the history that is filled with good because of a mistake that you didn't like......

Man Born once, but dies a thousand times.......

When you are the new kid on the block, the new employee at the job or just the new face in the place, everybody loves you, do they not? They are all glad you came. Everybody wants to know your name. Its as if a new baby has come into the world. All bright eye'd and full of hope and dreams to make everything better! Something invariable happens along the way (Earth-Wind and Fire). Do the masses no longer enjoy his new car smell of said new person? Are they no longer interesting to others? Or could it just be that "U ain't NEW no more?????
I say that because the new person can make a mistake and be forgiven many times, but the old or established person gets a tongue lashing for an unintentional error in judgment after years of work.  I have come to reason that a person who made has made a mistake, hass often times done this due to trying to do something better or faster for everyone. I believe we should consider giving the person a pass, if they can explain their actions otherwise logically, that person's creativity could be stifled otherwise.
I read an article in which Eddie Murphy was asked why did he do so many sucky movies when he could have stayed with the Beverly Hills Cop theme a few more times?  Eddie replied " In Hollywood, you are born once and die a 1,000 times". He said he was prasised for 48 hours and Beverly Hills Cop, but treated like a leper for movies like Pluto Nash and I am Dave. Dude wasn't afraid to try something new, but the world doesn't like change. But he felt the need to be true to be true to himself. He got no props for Norbit (a move that he played several characters that you would actually forget is him) and it was Oscar worthy in my views but who am I????
Seems like that in relationships too. When you first meet, its infatuation, but fast 4 ward 3 years later and you may see that same couple on an episode of snapped!!!! Nothing changes unless something changes.
We, as a people, should stop judging people on their past and accepting them for their present. Just because we did something in 2004 doesn't mean I still feel that way or even like those same things. Take me for example. I don't believe in fighting in wars, but that in no way indicates that I don't love the people who participate in them. If I like putting loud speakers and rimz on my car in my 20's does mean I feel that way in my 40's. We grow and try more things and learn things at our own pace.
My simple point is this: I don't know how long anyone has on this Earth, but I do know the day of my impending death is closer than the day of my birth. So why not get along with others (at least try) accept that others evolve and go with the changes that life brings us.If you look at the pic on this blog closely, you may ask your self, Did this man's views of life and others stay the same from a child to manhood? Did his views on issues every change and should he be allowed to have had a past -and still have wonder future nonetheless?
