It isn't an argument, it's an observation.

BTW most of us are from low income, mostly minority neighboorhoods in one way or another, so how does that absolve someone from making racist/sexist remarks? Political correctness has nothing to do cultural insensitivity.

Suuuuuureee you are. Which suburb do you live in I wonder?

Saying girls in general terms when referring to the female gender in the dating pool is not racist or sexist. That was the point of my statement. I don't believe your ridiculous assertion that it is.

So you are still claiming that women have their own culture I'm being insensitive to? Is PhillyGal77's avatar sexist and insensitive?

I don't live in the suburbs--never have, so keep wondering.

Wow, this thread took a turn for the weird.

Anyway, as I said 4 pages ago, I tried POF recently. All strange birds on there. But funny enough, I actually met someone interesting in "real life" on the plane coming back from Philly to Tampa. Great 3+ hour conversation (we sat on the runway at PHL for a bit)...see it can happen without the internet. Now, unfortunately, he lives in NJ and well, I'm here in FL. But it was fun while it lasted.

I was on Match.com previously and was of the thought "well at least people might be a little more serious since you have to pay." But honestly, I don't think it makes a difference since a lot of the same people are on both sites. Have you had luck with either of them? I'm hoping in the meantime to meet someone in the grocery store. Hah.

Coincidence or fate?

This is probably why EHarmony charges $50 for a 1 month membership! They know you probably won't stay longer, so they want the money while they can get it.

Girls my age (and I'm almost 30) commonly refer to guys as boys. Boy, man, whatever. No guy is sitting around wondering why he's being called a boy by a girl. This must be a generational thing for you older women. Lighten up people. You know what we meant.

Ya know... thank you! I'm a chick, broad, woman, babe, girl, honey, sweetie, etc. etc. I just liked the Bad Girl saying and the old school kinda graffiti look to the avatar.

If it offends any of the "women" here, I can change it.

Should it say "Bad Female?" Would that be politically correct? LOL

People need to lighten up. Seriously.

Think that's bad- I'm a Christian who doesn't want kids which is a rare thing. It's near impossible to find another person like this in my age group. Most men my age and up already have kids or want kids.

Maybe all of us single PBers should meet somwhere in person. We have nothing to lose at this point!
