There’s this sentiment out there that men these days aren’t like they used to be. And many believe they haven’t changed for the better. Instead there are several who think that men are just too soft. We made our way to 125th street to see what the good people of Harlem had to say about this. Check out their responses in the video above.

For centuries, and even today, you might catch black people talking about the notion of good hair. Stereotypically, the phrase “good hair” has been used to describe hair that is thinner, finer and curlier than the thick, coarse hair that is often associated with Africans and African Americans. Many in the black community have debunked the notion that one type of hair is better than other; but we took to the streets of Harlem, just to make sure everybody was on the same page. See what folks up on 125th street had to say.

If you’ve been a woman for more than a day or two, you know that men can be a bit reckless with their pick up lines. You know the cat calls and street hollers. We swung by Harlem’s notorious 125th street to ask the men over there what are their pickup lines and how successful they’ve been. See what they had to say.

When you’re in a new relationship, there are some pieces of information you just have to divulge. Whether or not you have children, whether you’re still married and certainly if you have a disease. But there are a couple of pieces of information that fall into the gray area, like whether or not you should be honest about the number of sexual partners you’ve had. We posed this question to some New Yorkers. See what they had to say.

What about you, do you disclose your number?

You know what they say, women can’t get along with each other and men and women can’t just be friends. So that kind of limits the friend pool. We all know men with a whole bunch of girlfriends and women who roll with nothing but dudes. But the question is, do you trust these types of people? Would you date someone, a heterosexual someone, who only had friends of the opposite sex? We posed this question to a few people on the street? See what they had to say.
