And

          fishing holes

          classic car shows

          sporting goods stores

No stories to tell but you do get a lot of correspondence quickly if you're testing the waters.  I've signed up for several sites and got a lot of hits even without a picture on line.  

I've never gotten past the email stage.  I just can't bring myself to post a pic much less meet a stranger.  

I said open to all men for dating, but I really want a brother for keeps.  The Black male dating pool for my type is shallow in CT.  Since I do get around so much perhaps I should try S GA or N FL too. 

i wantcha to look closely at those eharmony commercials gurl, errrry single wunna those dudes look like he needed to be *mainstreamed* back into society.    a few years ago i tried eharmony cuz it was expensive enough for me to consider that if you've subscribed, you're serious.   every match i got, either lived 50 miles away (remembba that b don't travel for ___) with it, not to it.  or couldn't put together one english sounding sentence in their profile <--- that's not important to everybody but if you have the potential to help the chirrun with their homework, you need to be done with the phonics tapes.  or (and this was the biggest thing for me) all my matches were 5'5", 5'4", etc. 5' 10" is short to me.

i keep hearing stuff about blackpeoplemeet.com but since then i've been reluctant to get back into it because of all the lying.  yes there really is a big difference between 39 and 49 and yes it would've been important to mention that your profile picture is 19 years old.  women (overall) meet people in person all the time, now from my experience, the dudes i've come across are online because they need to be knowh'imean?

lisa i'm LMAO at "african dudes" - the reason i ended my subscription was cuz of an email from a guy i'd been talking to who apologized for taking so long to get back to me cuz he'd been robbed of his computer after getting off the plane at the airport in lagos.  

if you try it, keep what shani said in mind, have fun, stay up on what you want and keep it movin.

Oh my god this thread is too funny between you and  Mahogany Dreams craking me up I had to close my office door before I get fired!!!!

African scammers (the ones that immediately start crying about needing money because their grandma is in the hospital with one wooden leg and they are about to cut off the other one

THIS ALL  SOUNDS LIKE TOO MUCH WORK FOR ME!

I totally agree that BS is everywhere.... However, I met my husband on blackpeoplemeet.com....

I've used:

eHarmony.com
blackpeoplemeet.com
yahoo.com
match.com
plentyoffish.com
christiancafe.com (STILL LAUGHING AT DUDE WHO POSTED THAT MESS..DID HE EVER COME BACKK..LOL)

I ran background checks, met in VERY public places, and spent a lot money. Was it worth it?

HECKY NAWLS SMALLS!!!

I met Mike for free at a monthly dinner meeting that I attend for my industry. I say give networking a try...that shiot is free or can be deducted from your taxes!

  I knew SOMEBODY would remember that post!!!!  Naw, homie ain't NEVA come back after that!!!!  HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!  I remember that one so well - we was all on his side until he told us the name of the website!!!!  Then we was all like  hole em up!  Flag on the play!!  Player penalty on the down!!!!  LOL

I just spent an HOUR trying to find that link...I really do need a good laugh!!!

I have dated on-line and I have met some wonderful people. I haven't had a true LOVE connection, but I met some really nice guys and I have had fun going out and having wonderful conversations and hanging out!!!!  I am a fan of the online thing.  I did Match.com and Black Planet  although match didn't have enough brothers I met a higher caliber of brother (upper income brackets) but it didn't warrant the fee.  You may be down with the swirl but I like my men pitch black and I couldn't imagine a pink pecker!!!!  LOL

Gurrrlll - I am about to take a hiatus from the bruhs - I'm sick and tired of the same BS!!!

And don't nobody try to come at me with the Katt line 'maybe if you meeting ain't shiot ninjas you got some ain't shiot puddy'  THAT is NOT the problem!!!!!  LMAOOOOOOO
