The thing about relationship blogs is...

Hello! Oh, you weren’t expecting the next blog so quickly huh? Well, what can I say? When I do it I DO IT!

Gbontwi is indeed back. I figure a good way to stroll back into the blogging scene is to talk about other blogs.

How is that the relationship blog is so popular?

Of all the blogs I’ve ever read or discussed on various forms the relationship blog is always HUGE. I see you Dr Rob! I see you too Evelyn!

It means people –male and female want to be in relationships even though we’re all independent and so on. Blogs about just successfully having sex are out there too but blogs on how to comport yourself in coupledom are more than holding their own (see what I did there)so I take them all as a good sign.

How Gbontwi gets women can’t really be put in writing. I smile at a woman and string together funny words in a order she's never heard before and tell her I'll need my number if she wants to hear more. And she does. And have sex.

That's it.

That's it?

No more to see here.

Now, what kind of blog would my approach make for? Yes, a boring one.

You might even be a woman reading this but I have no idea if you'd be the type I would disturb at a debate evening or dairy aisle at Tesco.

The scenarios in the relationship blogs (or 'case studies' if you will) are always so extreme to the point that if they even existed I hope they have no children or no more in addtion to the three by different partners they already have. I feel like I've lived a sheltered life when I read most relationship blogs because the East London (read European ghetto Brooklyn styled ghetto) population I've grown up besides seem like a Jehovah's Witness convention compared to moral-free men and women running threw these blogs and permanently putting the writer of the writer's friends off people of a certain colour, age or particular social welfare.

How is it (I ask myself or the blogger if I have the opportunity) do I never meet these lawless unforgivable people. They're like those wild and those acute designs in catwalk fashion shows -I never see em out here in the real world. Men in the blogs find out that their fiance has previously slept with whole crew/entourage/family. I find that my woman while lovely is a little bit too troublesome to consider spending the rest of my life with her. Mt Blogman woman leaves him when his car is reposessed outside the club. My women are very obliging of the fact that IO only drive a Peugeout (yes, that's the same brand of car as Columbo's) and have still been willing to do things in the backseat. Mr Blog man can't find a woman who doesn't need any recipient of her phone number to be in a Rolls Royce Phantom.

- Maybe I'm lucky?
- Maybe I put out a certain energy that says only REAL women need apply?
- Maybe my charm immunises these women against the naughty traits they displaty for lesser men?

You're thinking that last one is the most unlikely innit!? You're lucky I agree withn you or I wuold use juju to reach through this computer to slap you this very now!

ANYWAY! All this means is you don’t have to worry yourself. I’ve never been a relationship blogger and never will be but I like to understand trends and whether they’re new trends or just remixed ones. As far as I can figure with the relationship blog it’s not so much that people read them (or watch the youtube versions) to relate to what they're seeing and they can see other people having a worse of the WO-MAN thing than them!

SO with all that said -With this blog I do vow to keep discussing offbeat subjects that other bloggers will overlook.

It's not that I can't...IN FACT, I might now tackle some relationship stuff –if only to be able to say things like “Women want a man in a Range Rover. Not a man roving about within his range.”
^ I just made that up!
Y'see what I mean?!?
