Breathe and forget about it...I swear its when you aren't thinking about love that it comes to you.

you're in school.... that's the best place to meet someone, from what I've experienced.

not at MY school, of course. ;)

Meet someone for what purpose? If college is meant, tho old now I remember my freshman yr. Having come from a lil different from most I met, often I'd think: damn! deese be some silly folk! Feeling free to do their thing outta sight of mama 'n nem? Whoooaaaaaaaa! I guess that was my first lasting experience of a saying: youth and wisdom don't match. Very bright and quick witted tho'

My motto is if whatever type person is sought? Go where their kind go. And remember what mama and grandMAMA taught ya.

I can't give advice to women on how to meet men but I can tell you what I like to do.

I don't drink or hang out in clubs anymore but I like hanging out at coffee shops to discuss social ideas and religious history over a cup of coffee and chess.

I attract women like flies there because they don't see a lot of Black men into that.

As the semester has progressed I have still yet to meet anyone. I contribute it to my darkskin still, I try not to think skin color matters but it really does. I notice the guys seem to gravitate towards the girls who are very skinny and medium light complected/lightskin. And while I am darkskin with a very voluptous figure (big booty and big hips) they don't seem to approach me at all. You'd think that they would considering black men like women with big booties...but no it doesn't help me at all. If I do get a guy interested, he is usually much older and not my type. Like today, some older guy who looks like an ex druggie was complimenting me on my figure. I say 'thank you' and went on to class. I never get the cute guys within my age range. Never.

I made friends with a girl who is very petite, around Jada Pinkett's complexion and she already has a group of guy friend's. I also observed that other guys seem to notice her more often.

I will just accept that I am not lightskin nor will I ever get the same recognition or attention for my beauty the way they do. It's just a part of life. It's hard to deal with being that I don't want to be single anymore and I long for companionship. But it will just take me longer than all the other girls. It will take me a while to get over feeling this bitterness

Give it a rest latisha313. You are repeating what you have said in the other thread.

I smell a rat!!

No, I am being honest with you.

Take the overabundance of advice we have given you and come back in a few months. You keep coming to the table asking for food. We have given you more than you can carry. Eat what has been given to you, then return.

We don't wallow in self-pity or self-hate here. We empower, embrace, encourage and expect the best of each other. That includes you.
