His Point of View

2009, has been the year of infidelity: ministers, politicians, athletes, singers, and pretty much every other type of celebrity has been exposed as having cheated on their spouse this year alone.  Is marriage as important as it used to be?  Do people value the concept of marriage as they did decades ago?  I am not saying that people have not cheated since the idea of monogamy sprouted… but it seems as if it were handled in a more civilized manner in years gone by.   The other man/woman stayed in their lane, and families were not as disposable.   It might be true that in the past women stayed with a cheating husband because they were less educated and unemployed, or maybe it was because the milkman was delivering

This week I read an article on INC.com which stated that 48% of entrepreneurship is genetic. (Read article here)  This conclusion was reached by studying identical and fraternal twins and tracking which became entrepreneurs.  Apparently some business schools with entrepreneurship majors or minors are upset about the idea that almost half of the world’s entrepreneurs can be made regardless of their education level.

To all of the entrepreneurs reading this… (continue reading…)

When we meet people on the dating scene occasionally we meet people (that we are attracted to) that logically would be a good fit in our lives, and in rare cases we may meet a person who may substantially enhance our lives. On the other hand there are those people who we are attracted to (because they are sexy, rich, exciting, etc…)but they add no real value to our lives and as a result they will undoubtedly drain your energy or resources without a return on your investment.

How often do you choose to invest your time and energy with the person who is good for you, instead of the person who you want to be with for no logical reason other than some superficial attraction (e.g. money, physical appearance, or their “abilities”). We all (should)know that the best option long term is to seek relationships which will fortify our future, but so many people seem to get caught up in relationships with people who are not a good match for the long haul.

Are money, “swagger”, or physical appearances more important than your long term happiness, success, and family stability?

I know that many people will not recognize the bad decisions they have made, and others will not admit to their bad choices in life. We should always learn from our mistakes, and as we grow older we should have learned what traits to we are incompatible with. When we notice incompatible traits in others we should recognize them as signs that its time to move on, and stop wasting time with the person exhibiting those characteristics.   All too often we hear people complain about meeting the same type of guy/girl… I say that if that’s the case you are not modifying your actions based on what you should have learned in the past.  Until you  make changes in who you associate with, where you spend time, what you are involved in, and the number of times you ignore the signs to move on, you will continue to have the same results from your romantic relationships.

You may wonder where this guy came from and why do you care about what I have to say…. well I’m gonna tell you. But first let me tell you why I am here. Today I saw a photo of a couple pairs of shoes by BCBG…

And I was feeling them… so I sent out a Twitter ( find me there @mrggfep) and I said that if I had a lady I would buy her these shoes…. Well somebody made it known how awful these shoes were, so I challenged her to see what others thought.   So the challenge was born to figure out if in fact I could match or beat here sense of style… so here we are. But me being me… I am expanding on this idea, not only will I cover women’s fashion, but also men’s fashion, gifts for him & her, romantic/memorable vacation locations, and everything else that young people who are on a journey to being grown and sexy might find useful.

FYI: this is my first official “real” blog so there will undoubtedly be some growing pains… so please be forgiving

Now a little bit about me…

I am a 29 year old guy (as of 04/30/2009) living in the metro DC area who was born and raised in the metro Atlanta (born in ATL, lived in East Point, GA from ages 8-18) who has traveled to all 4 corners of the world, seen and experienced the best and some of the worst that the world has to offer. I am college educated ( FAMU class of 2003) , I have a wonderful son, I have broken my back as a blue collar worker, and I have facilitated meetings in corporate boardrooms and in cabinet level government organizations from coast to coast. At the time this blog is being created (05/19/2009) I am single. I love women, and women only…(but everyone is encouraged to come, experience, and participate in “hispointofview”) but I appreciate the finer things in life (whether I can use these things personally or not) and I want to share my world with you. Now some of the luxury items you will see here are far beyond my price range (for the moment) so I will not give you the impression that I consume all of these goods, but our time is coming soon.

Well enough talking… its time to get your dose of “HisPointofView”

Your man,

It's me snitches!!!!
