I just think men in our age group have a natural aversion to these sites….

The brothers i speak to are like why join a site…they don’t seem to have problems meeting women so the upside is limited.

So, I visited the site and went to the hoopla of joining only to discover that there are 300+ women between the ages of 30 and 45 and only 23 men (only 5 with pictures).

Let’s give them some time to get their site together to see if it really works because right now, it’s just another bad club.

Get more men to sign up!

I’m not too confident about this first point, but this site does seem to be responding to a real need. It can be hard to meet other black professionals, especially if one does not live in NYC or DC. (Though, I’m hesitant on this point because I do think that we may be mistaken to think that happiness will (or even *probably* will) come in the form of a relationship with another black professional).

While this site may be responding to a real need, it is a really bad response. With the corny photos (a guy with books and candles?), the requirement of a professional black and white photo (honestly?) and the general air of pretension, I can’t see this site attracting the type of people it wishes to. Evidence, your Spelman friend.

Or, maybe the site just isn’t attractive to me. I’m a snob of a different type.

More power to them! The internet gives people equal opportunity to come together with others under whatever purpose they choose. It may appear “buppity” to me, but so what? If people with AIDS and herpes want their own dating website, then more power to them. Same for Christians, gays, etc. …the real need will be determined by their membership and competition, and the success of the concept will be measured by the happy couples they produce. …If you’re at all interested, then give it a shot, what’s the big deal???

just seems like another product advertised as what it wants to be known for. is it’s quality control worth the posturing though? will they weed out “undesirables” somehow? hmmmm. it’s exactly like the “upscale” parties you admittedly end up going to anyway. if applicants have the money to waste for the cover charge, they’ll be in there.
