Ladies, help brothers out. Since we seem to have such a failure to communicate, help us out. Tell us what you like. Tell us how to date you.

What should we consider during our approach?

What form of communication do you prefer and how often would you like to be contacted?

What kind of things do you like to do on the first date.

Sisters, if we are missing certain signs, make us aware so we can make the necessary adjustments. Hopefully, we will come up with some answers on tonight's episode of The Intellectual Stew.

Tonight we will be discussing the popular Tyler Perry movie, Acrimony. In 2018, Taraji P Henson starred in the movie, Acrimony, playing the character Melinda Gayle. The movie depicted a woman relentlessly supporting her man (Robert, played by Lyriq Bent) through all of his ups and downs-from dating to marriage, including infidelity, joblessness, poverty, all with the hopes of seeing his dream come into fruition. Throughout their marriage, they faced ridicule from family who witnessed what they interpreted as unreciprocated and wasted support from one member of the marriage- Melinda. After finally having enough and at the recommendation of her sister, Melinda decided to leave her husband.

Fast forward:

Not long after their divorce and after connecting with another woman, Robert’s dream was finally realized, and he received a very lucrative deal for his invention.

This leads me to ask a few questions:

1. Did Melinda stay too long?

2. Do you think Robert grew up in the marriage?

3. Did it take another woman to help him accomplish his ultimate goal?

4. Was he required to compensate Melinda for her sacrifices?

We will answer these questions and others?

Anika Truss and John Wilson will join the MNL Crew in the discussion.  She says her opinion might be a little different from most women. Join in to listen at 9 PM EST on Facebook or YouTube Live.

This episode of Thought Therapy was an amendment to Monday Night's (04/18/2022) episode of The Intellectual Stew, entitled The Cam Newton Conundrum.

#BlackFamily #ThoughtTherapy #TraditionalValues

Cam Newton was on the Million Dollars Worth of Game podcast and made some controversial statements that caused a firestorm in the media. Some labeled them as sexist. Some labeled them as antiquated, out of touch, and disrespectful. Then, there was another crowd that says that Cam is misunderstood and that his words were taken out of context.

The MNL Crew and I will be discuss this issue on The Intellectual Stew at 9 P.M. EST/8 P.M.

Join in on the conversation.

Does falling in "love at first sight" still exist? Some suggest that it is impossible. Their thoughts are that the individuals making that claim are experiencing lust, not love. However, there are those who ascribe to the theory that falling in love at first sight can be linked to scientific reasoning. What do you think?

In this episode, James and the MNL Crew will discuss this issue, along with others.
