Having observed women (of all ages and ethnicities) and the way that they handle relationships, I’ve concluded that common sense ain’t so common.

“Ridiculous Situations”, gives thought provoking famous quotes about love, relationships, common sense and “real deal” revelation and advice from an author that talks the talk and walks the walk in her own relationships.

I put women up on the games that are played in the dating world. I urge them to take off that dress of desperation, take responsibility for the decisions that they make and step away from dysfunctional people and relationships. Some of my subjects include:

  • Don’t touch that 401K.
  • The Return of the old flame: Deal or No Deal?
  • The Back Child Support Payment Trap.
  • The “Stepping Stone” Relationship/Marriage.
  • The Male Roommate
  • And so much more.

Girls! Read it, and be prepared to hold out for the best… It’s better to be single than sorry.

Raina Shaw: I am a hairstylist, and the salon is a place where women let their hair down and keep it real. There is no conversation that is off limits. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Raina Shaw, author of Ridiculous Situations →
