  • Don't Call Me Beautiful

    Welcome to to the Simply Straight Talk show, today Reggie is hosting a conversation on why some women prefer guys not to call them beautiful. For some people, this may come across as strange or insensitive to a person attempting to be polite. 

    Well in this episode we are finding out that some women actually have an extremely valid case for not falling for the "your so beautiful line". Honestly, what does it mean to you when you approach a person you just met and you automatically tell them they are beautiful. 

    Because the thing is: Men and women who find people of the other gender attractive may want to let them know that. And that’s fine. In fact, a lot of us love getting compliments.

    in some cases, despite your best intentions, some women will probably be turned off by a stranger giving them a compliment. Additionally, women may feel like their bodies are being judged for a person's entertainment – and that’s not a good feeling.

  • Celebrity Influence on People

    On Today's Show, your host Reggie is discussing the influence of celebrities through social media. Singers, actors, athletes and other high profile entertainers will not only affect our youth but the older generations as well. 

    Celebrities are everywhere and whether you realize it or not, they can easily change the way you look or act. They rely on social media sites to boost their career, but how does that affect you?

    One of the key factors for making someone a celebrity is their ability to gain a large following.  If millions of people are watching them then obviously they are impacting someone in one way or another.

    People are swayed by things they see every day. So how does social media and content on it affect us? If you have ever seen a picture of a celebrity, you have most likely noticed how flawless they look or how perfect their life seems. Most people look down on themselves after comparing their look to the pictures, causing them to want to change who they are in order to look like their favorite celebrity. For example, many people seek to emulate the looks of the Kardashians.

    We have to also consider the vulgar language, sensual photos and lewd behavior that cause our youth to think that this behavior is the standard for being successful.

  • What Scares You About The World Today?

    In today's episode of Simply Straight Talk, Reggie is sharing some information on the most common fears of people. This discussion makes us ask the following questions.  What do Americans really fear? Are their fears exaggerated compared to their real lives? Do fears vary with gender?

    The top fears of society have shifted from year to year, which was heavily based in economic and 'big brother' type issues to include more health and financial fears.  People often fear what they cannot control. 

    Do you ever wonder if our fears have caused us to live our lives in a manner that is constructed around caution? At some point, I wonder if we have slowly begun to lose faith in humanity as a whole.

  • Should I Speak Up or Shut Up

    In this episode of Simply Straight Talk, Reggie is discussing the topic of "Should I Speak Up or Shut Up. At some point, we have all experienced the dilemma of voicing our thoughts on other people's situations or problems.

    When it comes to voicing your opinions or just remaining speechless, you'll most likely run across various views of conflicting advice. So, how can you know when you should voice your thoughts and when you're better off holding your tongue?

    On today's show, Reggie will help listeners explore the advantages and disadvantages of being silent or speaking up. 

    In life, we will always be confronted with some kind of conflict. This will require us to find a balance when it comes to finding a resolution. While some situations are easier than others to reach that satisfying conclusion.

    The trick is understanding when to pick your battles. There are numerous circumstances in which people argue and never establish a resolution. Arguing just take too much energy at the risk of never finding common ground. At other times, it may be beneficial to share your thoughts with others.

  • Politics and Scandals: Have You Had Enough

    In this episode of Simply Straight Talk, Reggie is discussing the problems of the world and how the negative talk can affect your behavior. 

    You don’t need to look far to find negativity these days. Simply check the headlines or turn on your TV and you could quickly come to the assumption that we live in a depressing and bitter place. Often times, when you turn on your cell phone or computer the top trending stories, consist of some mournful moments.

    But you can change that — both your belief about the world, and the world itself.

    My purpose, I believe, involves sharing positivity in the world. Today we will be discussing some ways to help you keep your sanity and how to maintain a positive mindset.

  • Men vs Women: The Competition

    In this episode of Simply Straight Talk, Reggie will ge discussing the conflict between men and women. Some people would suggest the relationship between men and women was once simple. In the early years (30's, 40.s and 50's), the men worked and most women were considered homemakers. In the  later years, women became more active in the workplace, balancing family and work life became a prime aspiration of modern mothers. Feminism movements were steadily growing. For men the MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) movement would later begin to grown. 

    The reality of time would prove that men and women  are not truly prepared for the change in relationships and workplace positions. Modern day relationships consist of women making more money and in some cases taking the role as the head of households. While some men still maintain their position as role model for their family. Most media platforms use the male as the stage for jokes regarding a mans ability to raise kids. 

    Have you ever wondered why are men and women in such competition with each other? Why does certain words such as independent and strong create a verbal boxing match between men and women? Let's discuss it on this episode of Simply Straight Talk.
