Spotlight: Poet Janette...Ikz

So I came across this awesome christian poet and had to share! Her words are laced with wisdom and humor that give her poems life. This specific poem focuses on the struggles of a single woman! A-MAZE-ING!

Three is a crowd.

Meet Rebecca, a 25 year old real estate agent who is caught in a love triangle. Many would consider her "the other woman" but you may walk away thinking differently after reading this interview. CR sat down and spoke candidly with this intellectual beauty and captured her perspective...

CR: How long was it into your current "relationship" before you discovered he already had a girlfriend?

Rebecca: It was about seven weeks into the relationship when I started to be concerned. I discovered her presence, but I wasn't exactly sure of the status of the relationship. When I confronted him about it, he assured me that she was not his girlfriend. Initially I bought into the lie. But, after I started to see her "around" more and more I knew what the deal was.

CR: Did you consider getting out of the situation before emotions got any deeper?

Rebecca: I contemplated my next move and at the end of the day I liked dating this guy. I have a lot of fun with him and he treats me like I want to be treated. So, I made the decision to allow him to believe that I actually believed his lie. Sad to say but, I got to the point of wanting to knock the "girlfriend" out of the picture. My frame of mind was that if she had as much control over him as she thought then he would not be so easy for the taking.

The Writer's Block

This segment was created to allow the writers of Cupid's Reality speak their minds. Your thoughts and feedback are more than encouraged...


A wise man (my ex) once told me that within 15 minutes of meeting a woman, a man has placed her in a "category". Now, these categories change with each man pending on what stage of life he is in. For instance, for the man who just got out of a long term relationship, the category of "wifey" may not be an option, no matter how well the woman carries herself, because he is not willing to commit again at this point in his life. Categories can range from “friend”, wifey””, “freak”, “let’s see where this goes” to party girl etc. According to my ex, just a brief conversation with him has placed you in your rightful category. I asked him if a woman can start off in one category and move to another. His answer...Absolutely, but its easier to be promoted from the “friend” category than it is to move up from the "freak" or “wacko”. He ended this theory by saying first impressions are everything. When a man walks in with you on his arm he wants other men to think "Damn, I wouldn’t mind her being my girl” vs. "Damn, I’m going to fuck his girl". So CR readers, do you think there is some validity to this category theory???

Cupid's Chronicle: Life on the Side Line.

Cupid’s Chronicle is back in a new way! This time we’re placing the spot light on Bria a 28 year old Houstonian beauty. She is freeing herself from a past of heartbreak and long term relationships and taking on single life in the big city! Read her weekly updates and buckle up for the ride…


Pretty interesting headline but it sums up my situation best. I met my ex when I was 19. The relationship grew into something very serious very quickly. Within a month we were in a committed relationship although in retrospect he was not ready to give up the chicks that were existent prior to my arrival. So very soon into relationship I began to receive phone calls from the "side chicks" detailing their sexual encounters with MY boyfriend. I was hurt, mad and upset each time I caught him cheating but stayed partly because I viewed these women as "side chicks" who weren't receiving the same benefits I was getting as the "main chick". They didn't meet his family, go on dinner dates, drive his car, or get their tuition paid. Needless to say the relationship lasted about 4 years too long and ended when he got one of his "side chicks" pregnant.

Soon after that break up I start a new relationship in the same fashion. Within in a month we were committed and the roller coaster began! We'd argue constantly and make up passionately but there was always a thought in the back of my mind that something was off. I just couldn't put my finger on it. I soon found out that I wasn't the only girl in his life and in fact was HIS "side chick"! I was devastated to say the least. He tried so hard to keep me in his life but wanted to also continue his relationship with his "main chick". How in the world did I go from being someone’s main chick to the side chick? I ended that situation. Now I am on a quest to be a man’s ONLY chick. So let the dates begin! I will keep you all posted on my dating adventures. With my track record it should be quite interesting.

Debate of the Week 6/13/11

    It’s safe to say there are some significant differences found in men and women of the millennium vs. the 1920's. The evolution of genders is astounding. It seems "independence" is now being worn as a pendent of pride by many of our women and encouraged by most men. Specifically, women are becoming 'bread winners', claiming cooperate positions formerly dominated by men and utilizing the microwave far more than the oven. While many men are more than willing to pass the tab on a dinner date, and content with being "stay at home dads". Does our society's embrace of independence and intermingling of gender roles work against an ultimate goal of developing a successful union between two individuals?




In other words: Can you have a successful relationship/marriage without "traditional" gender roles.

Girl Talk

We're baaaaaackkk!!! Once again myself and five of my best lady friends were asked to let you all in on things we women talk about during our "male free" nights. If you follow the blog, you see we've touched on everything ranging from the over wieght lover to our secret attraction to 'girl on girl' porn. We are all excited to have the blog back. Now let’s get on with it... The other day we got on the topic of SIZE. My girl was telling a hilarious story of this 6'5" chiseled specimen with a penis the size of a light switch! I'm sure she was exaggerating but you get the point. So I mentioned my preference. The average (6-7 inches) is more than enough for me. I mean the ‘anaconda’ is a great conversation piece but other than that all it can contribute is pain and discomfort. Three of my girls strongly disagreed, stating there is nothing better than a sexy man with a huge D---! So readers, we need a tie breaker. Does size matter?!

Cupid's Chronicles:: Candace: So I guess this is goodbye...

CC asked me to sum up my love life and say goodbye to you all! I am sad to know I won't be able to vent with you all anymore lol. But on to the JUICE!!! I am still single and had been going on some dates but that all came to a screeching hault when...I got burnt! I swear I could not make this up if I wanted to! Okay, before you get all grossed out I must say it wasn't one of the major STD's but a common one caused by bacteria usually carried by the male. It has some long drawn out name but the street term is "trick". So I had a crazy night of sex with this guy I've actually know for about a year. We've made out in the past but never really went past that until last month. I must say I went into a major depression after my "discovery". I even considered "switching to the other side". I was so against men I actually thought about becoming a lesbian!! Long story short, getting a sexually transmitted desease was the best thing that could have ever happen to me! lol I am completely changed. I use to feel down about being single and sexually frustrated but now I realize there are worse things that could happen. Okay, here is the part where you will all be mad at me...I didn't tell him he gave me a STD. I just couldn't bring myself to do it! For some reason even though HE was the one who gave it to ME I still didn't want him to think I was some dirty chick who doesn't take care of herself! I promise within the next 2 months I will get the nerve to tell him. He should know so he doesn't go around giving "it" to anyone else. Anyway, Thank you guys for being my therapists. I'm considering starting my own blog so I hope CC will keep you guys posted! Have a happy 2010!!!!
