I'm a fun-loving, exciting, intelligent black man. I'm not asking for much. I want a nice looking woman with a waistline, common sense & booksense, to go along with a sense of humor and a fear of God. If you fit that description write me. I'll be patiently waiting. I always wondered why do people post pictures of their pets on this site, do you want me to date your dog/cat or you??!!! A brother's not into beastiality, use those precious spaces with pics of yourself, not your pets, we can find out how much you like animals later. What are you doing, looking to mate your dog or cat with people? Trying a new scientific experiment or what?? lol. If you are good luck!!! Another thing. Why do people post group pictures??? It's not fair to play the ole' skool gameshow, "To Tell the Truth" on a dating site while wondering, "Will the real person on the profile please stand up." I'm showing my age now, those of you with experience under your belt remember that game show. Another thing is, this is a website for folks to look for a date, why are there idiots here with pictures of them with other men. What type of mixed signals are you sending??!! One woman even has a profile that says, "Happily Married" with a pic of her hugging her husband. Is that weird & freaky or what?? Are you into da' group thang ? Go on the "Freaky" dating sites for that. Some people, I tell ya'. Also, invest in a good camera that places "clear" pics online. I crack up when I see a cell phone pic so dark that it looks like it was taken in the same cave Saddam Hussein was captured in. How do you expect a man to know what you look like when your only pic posted was taken in the dark? At least have another one so we can see ya'. Has anybody ever heard of "proofreading"? It applies to pictures too. lol. Interesting folks here on POF. Have a good day.

A first date should be somewhere where you can sit & chat in order to get to know the person. After sitting and talking, sharing each other's ideas & feelings, you get an idea of where the person is coming from as well as to see if they're thoughts & ideas are compatible with your own.
