online dating headlines

There is the constant headline that I see when I am browsing through online personals, for my own benefit and for the benefit of helping writer's block. I always see the title "nice guys always finish last", while in the real world, unfortunately this is not true. Gentleman, rewrite that headline. Nothing against the nice guys, I love the nice guys, you make a brown girl blush, seriously. But that headline doesn't make the women, you are looking to attract, want to click on your profile to know more. I wish it did. I'm a nice girl, with a few streaks none violent or anything. But you should want to write something that is off the wall, off beat, that makes her say "WHAT?" Nothing dirty of course, but, how about, "let me tickle your fancy", that would make me want to click on your profile to know more, but my humor is occasionally warped and brutal. There is a friend of mine that has a profile that reads "wealthy baron seeks young princess to become his wife", I know he isn't wealthy, he is in the army over in Iraq for Christ's sake and in cammies in his picture, but that would make me laugh and especially at least take a look at his profile and want to know more. It's all about humor,
Of course, Everyone's sense of humor is different. But, the profile headline that advertises, "SWM seeking ebony princess/queen", while there are some women that are looking for that guy who is going to cater to their needs and wants. We, as women are usually looking for more substance, that substance that makes us want to sell our car or family to put money in our bank account just so we can subscribe and write you and meet the guy who is going to be the lungs that help us breathe, well that's an overstatement but you get the point. Make us want to do that, or think about it at least, and we should make you want to do that for us of course. This is just a little note, advice and information, about those headlines. Till another post

I’ve looked at a few sites but I’ve never really pursued it.
I don’t really have an interest
in paying just to get someones contact info that might spark my interest. Yes, I know, that
maybe my lose.....

But, I am supportive of any
means that might help someone
find that individual their
destine to be with.

Back in the day I was a active member of a few groups both on
msn and yahoo. Some sites were good others were not. What I enjoyed was interacting with others in the the groups chatrooms. Developing friendships and laughing at the total BSers you could see coming a mile away.

Browsing always helps peak interest, gain a few laughs, and opens up a different world than what we see. And not to mention the possibility of building friendships, networking, meeting an acquaintance, and maybe a lifelong friendship through sites and groups online. The possibilities can be endless, depending on your fancy.

So you agree with me again... lol

My personal choice is I have no interest in using sites where you have to pay unless I had no other option....not saying it's not right for others if that is what they want to do.

You may of heard of it but it's new to me - the meetup website.
http://www.meetup.com/

Its not a interracial site but I guess one could create a group in it for like minded individuals to meet up, go out and do things together in your local area. I just came across it but it looks interesting to me.

Told you I wasn't hard to get along with.. lol I see points in alot of things, or see the person's point.Can't ever really disagree with a person's opinion,unless its just really pointless and useless of course. Trying to gather my thoughts, and everything else to release a few posts..
