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.

really not all that complicated

Interracial dating is really not all that complicated. White, black, latino, asian, doesn't really matter. We are all different people whether in the same ethnicity or race or different. Different backgrounds, experiences, lack of experience.
To make the choice to or rather to meet someone outside of your race that you have feelings for and decide to date, is only as complicated as you make it. People say, their life is going to be so hard. Your children are going to have such a hard time growing up. Come on now! Really. If this was 15, 20, or even 50 years ago, I would agree somewhat. But we are in times of technological advancement, cloning of people and animals, rebuilding faces and organs, yet we can't bring our minds to fathom having a white,black, or whatever person in our family. What is really going on? Like I have said once before, I am not at all telling you to accept my view. Just let it marinate. There are people who wish to know more, wish to explore some notions, and maybe they're afraid to tell their parents that they're in love with someone they believe will not be accepted.
