That's a very attractive quality for many women. Unfortunately, that's not the fish that those Jdate men are hunting for. If you read my blog, I have an entry about Jdate.

For now, suffice it to say, I get what you're saying. So many friends and others are like, "Why are you married yet?" or "I don't understand why you're single." I'm not special. There are a million other single black women just like me. Actually, I really think I WILL write a full post about the unique difficulties of being a single black woman in NYC. I'm a bit scattered because I'm in the middle of moving from my old apartment to my new one. If I forget to cover that topic within the next week or so, please email me or leave a comment to remind me!! :) Mydria, oh man, I could talk about that topic for YYEEEEAARRSSSS, and I’ll probably do a full post about it in the near future.

It can be hard to date inter-culturally. I know it is for me. Being a Black woman, I have the same experience you do. Not only is there a difference between African and African American culture, but there are differences within the African American culture. We all don't grow up the same, have the same experiences, and I find it hard to find someone who is "black like me." I consider myself "bicultural." I come from a lower middle class Black family who lived in the city, and I was bussed to school in the suburbs. Essentially, I grew up around white people, but I'm still in touch with my own heritage. Anyway, it's hard for me to connect with some black men because they think I'm stuck up or don't understand their struggles. It's also hard to find a black man on the same level as me educationally and professionally. I've come across many women like myself, but it's been so hard to find a man with the same background. I guess this really isn't anything new, but I'd love to hear your perspective on this situation, Twanna. Thanks.

I'm interested to hear more about this makeover process? What are you doing? <strong>A.</strong>: I meet a lot of men.

Nothing's hotter than men / things / places that are supposed to be off limits. As long as you look but don't touch, you're probably okay :) You know what they say -- <em>don't get your meat where you make your bread</em>! Baba Doodlius: L’haim indeed!!! :)
