		<description>It seems to me that online dating has more advantages for black men than women, any kind of organized dating for that matter. Black men just don't realize there are a lot of inteligent and black beautiful women who have their stuff together looking for someone online. 

Eligible black women are more active in pursuing a potential partner than black men. I have a friend in Chicago who used to organize soiree's for black singles, all of the events would have way more women than men. Also, the women usually had better jobs and higher education.

I've been thinking about the reasons why for a while and all I can come up with is that its probably easier for an educated black man to find a mate and settle down because we usually don't expect to find our equal in terms of economics and women who come into a relationship not being equal financially usually have an easier time accepting their man as the leader.

Educated black women tend to try to emasculate their men for having deficiencies in terms of lacking a job with social status or income. Just read enough messageboards and listen to the comments.

PS. Those were just my observations, I am sure there are people with different opinions, so please don't crucify me</description>

		<description>Text Stalking is ridiculous! It's led me  to save numbers in my phone that I wouldn't normally save just so I know who's calling me and know not to pick up! I don't know if I'm brave enough to do CrazyBlindDate.com but the Black New York Singles Group via Meetup is a pretty solid group and not as intimidating as you think. Online Dating is time consuming, but it's a decent alternative for someone who is too busy/shy/intimidated to "get out there". I'm impatiently waiting for part 3!</description>

		<description>I'm amazed at people (i.e. guys) who think texting, IM or G chat are real tools for in depth conversations. If a guy can't give me 15 or 20 minutes of his time to pick up the phone every now and then, he ain't my guy. 

But my part 3 should be interesting. I met someone in an unlikely place (and he hates texting!)</description>

		<description>This is hilarious - especially the crazy blind date part. This line is for the books: "You’ll probably have 
trouble getting a date with that many restrictions checked…Lighten up?”

And i know exactly how you feel about the texting. I recently had a guy who was possibly interested in me, but all he did was text. After several rounds to texting, I messaged him saying I "don't do texts." His response: "Even my mama does test messaging, you better learn." Um, player please probably not. Then he continued to text me! Needless to say, I didn't respond again. If you want to talk to me, CALL ME. Besides, I don't get free text messaging no way.</description>
