hate doesn't go away, there's always something or someone to hate...been that way for 200,000 years, another 50 years won't change anything...




He's right. Until we do like other countries do and declare our race based on the country we live in instead of our "skin color" there will always be hate within our own borders.

I am so sick and tired of being forced to call myself "African" American! My mom just traced our genealogy and we are of Middle Eastern and French decent. Not African! That part didn't come into play until our ancestors got to America. And even though I learned French, I am American born, and bred! So why the heck can't I just be an American!? I'm proud of the country I live in and Africa doesn't consider me African (as well they shouldn't) so why the heck does America force me to claim a country that wants no part of me and that I have no part of??

There is nothing to rate. If you are asking for an opinion about your picture, you look bored. Maybe answering the profile questions would help a little bit.

Never heard of "tinder". I'll take a look at it, thanks.

I guess you are right. I'm looking for a "personality" first and then if the personality is halfway there for me it makes up for what a person may lack in looks. I've dated good looking guys that couldn't hold a conversation and it bored me to deatb! By the end of the night I didn't care what they looked like! I had a good looking male stripper friend once who couldn't figure out why I wasn't attracted to him. I told him I liked him more for his personality then I did for his looks. Plus he was shorter than me. We had so much fun as friends. I would shave his back when he had shows to do and run interference when he was trying to escape women. But we always stayed friends. So for me, personality can make or break a man's looks.

Exactly I_love_blugrass!! The ones with no profile information or say just ask are the ones asking all the questions that I've clearly already answered in MY profile but when I get around to asking them questions it's one word answers or "I like whatever you like" or "I like your smile". Come on really? Do you have an independent thought??

Okay thank you Tom4uHere. That explanation makes a lot of sense. I will go back and play around a little more with my page and put up a few more "roadblocks" so to speak. Thanks for the heads up about the forum discussions. I'm usually not much for that but I can appreciate the advantage of utilizing them in this kind of platform to weed out the serious from the not so serious.

Would I be better off taking the pictures down then? I thought I was doing the right thing by being open and honest. That's the type of person I am. Drama and secrecy isn't my thing but if I have to take my pictures out so guys will "read" about me so be it I guess.

If a man says he is looking for an "honest" woman then why aren't they honest? Honestly!

I set my profile up and I am very specific about what I'm looking for but 9/10ths of the responses I've gotten have been from guys in other states, guys looking for marriage, married men, or guys looking for "true love." Am I in the wrong place to just find cool people to hang out with, is my explanation not straightforward enough or is it that no one is reading it?

Help me understand this online thing.

There is not much to do in Harrisburg and not any men here. I am within close to commuting distance to Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, NYC and Atlantic City where there is a lot to do on weekends and holidays. I'm open to driving a couple of hours unless anyone in Harrisburg can show me that there is actually anything to do here.

Hi. I'm new to online "dating." I may be going about this all wrong because I'm not looking to get married or a one night stand. I want a guy to go to movies with, shoot pool with, go to concerts with, try out new restaurants with and to just generally pal around with. I like intellectual conversation but I also like to be silly and have fun. I can pay my own way and I need someone who can pay their own way. So is this the wrong format for me to be looki for that kind of a friendship?
