Comment: How come I am just receiving this article now (in my inbox) when there are comments here since August? Funny article with the usual truths about ignorance and sterotyping that affect all races. This article captured it somewhat (some points were just silly though) for dating black men.

Comment: I totally agree. My ex is completely into himself and his goals. He won't even consider marriage. He just wants to secure his own future first and not have to work anymore. The other side to this may be that "he's just not that into me." I also agree with what the author is saying about social networking online. The idea of adding a bunch of people you went to junior high and high school with on facebook is pointless to some who don't care about these people. Why would I want to look at their status updates if I'm never going to speak to them either electronically via an email or in person? Myspace seems to be going in the direction of a fad, like the 80s, but I actually use it to promote my blog, so for me, it's now become completely a professional tool. I'm so glad I found this website tonight. I can really relate to so much stuff on here. I keep thinking lately why do I feel so lost? But now I realize, I'm cleary not the only one. I feel slightly better...

Comment: thanks for this! as someone who has posted many times on craigslist with little to no success, and on top of that, seeing my ex (even when he was not my ex) posting on craigslist in different cities, including where he would be vacationing with his buddies, I could definitely relate to making my wishlist known and then getting flooded with responses where ultimately nothing comes of it. sorry for the run on sentence.

Comment: Wow, i thought it was just me that was putting up with red flags. Reading comments, I could relate to someone that said her boyfriend proposed to her via email. That is something my ex would do. Heck, we always break up and get back together via email and/or text. He would love it if we communicated soley via these methods. I'm 34, single now, but have been on and off with this guy for many years. He is inconsiderate and things the author's ex did and said reminds me a lot of my ex. I want to marry this guy but I know I'm not being realistic. I don't even know I would want to go through with it if he had asked. There are just too many fundamental things about him that bother me. Yet, I don't want to marry anyone else either. To me, he fits the image of an ideal partner, forgive my shallowness: tall, somewhat attractive, goal-oriented, good with managing his money, rational (sometimes very annoyingly so, but it has taught me to be a better person), and I dare not say more because I feel ridicule coming on. So now again for the umpteenth time, we broke up. This time I had him break up with me because I told him if I do it, I wouldn't really mean it because I know I don't want to be without him, yet at the same time, he doesn't really make me happy.
