Nassau, Bahamas - NO APOLOGIES were made for the raw thoughts that the all-male panel
expressed during Straight Talk: No Chaser on December 29th at the
Sheraton Beach Resort.
Brought to Nassau by Together Apart— a
relationship company based in New York— and Phat Groove Entertainment,
and hosted by Chris ‘Kazi’ Rolle and Leah Rose, the event consisted of
four rounds as the panel boldly faced a crowd mainly composed of women
to give a male view on common concerns in relationships including:
communication, cheating, lying, and what a man looks for in a potential
spouse.

The seven panelists were: owner of ATOM Consulting
Keith Marcellus Dean, Bahamian entrepreneur Brent Mayson, radio
personality and senior vice president of public affairs and retails at
Kerzner International Ed Fields, recording artist and president of
South Beach Association Sammie Poiter, police officer and owner of Team
Slugger Fitness Freddie Lightbourne, Kirk Johnson relationship coach,
and Dr Kwesi Smith veterinarian.
Amanda asked Dr Smith during
the final round: “You said men cheat because they can. Will you cheat
forever? Would you continue after you get married? Does that make it
okay?”
Dr Smith responded: “I was just giving a very basic
reason for why. I’m not saying that it’s okay. The woman who you decide
to be with forever- you develop different intangible things for her
geared towards a level that’s above that physical urge to cheat. I’m not
marrying a person for legs [etc.]; I’m marrying that person that makes
me smile from the inside. The same legs you have, some other girl on the
road would have that.”

Dr Wayne Thompson, a communication
expert from Oxford Medical Centre, was also part of the event giving
professional advice at the end of each of the rounds.
“If you
have unresolved issues in your life, you will not be able to
communicate. Individuals who do not have a good sense of self do not
know how to get their emotions out of the way. To effectively
communicate with a man, sisters, you need to get your emotions out of
the equation. Timing is critical. Respect is not negotiable with a man.”
