I was driving home the other night and came to a stop light in the middle of my town, Herndon, VA, when a group of “Brothas” hollered out to me….”What’s up shawty? Wanna hang?”. At first I was startled to see so many black men (5) in Herndon in one location. LOL Then I thought “Shawty”… I’m 5’8. “Wanna Hang???”… and do what? Become the next breaking news story on CNN.
But as the light changed to green and I started to drive away, I thought to myself “What the hell….” I'm 38 and they appeared to be in my age group. At what age do men grow up and stop hollering at women the most ignorant callings? “holla holla holla, let me holla at ya”, “What’s up baby?”, “Can I come?”, “Lookin good foxy lady”, “hollar back girl”. I mean really, does that actually work? What ever happened to the art of dating? Have we embarked upon a state where woman embrace being a “hollar back girl’? It 's been a really long time since I've been on the dating scene so I really do hope that this incident was just an exception to and not the rule.

I ain't no hollar back girl...

About Me

- I am a native of New Orleans but currently live in the DC metro area. The things that I enjoy the most in life are photography, lending a helping a hand to those around me, traveling, cooking, and the taste of great wines. I believe that life should be lived out loud and that the greatest tradjedy is to not live your life to the absolute fullest and that you should do so without fear of failure to just simply try.
