Most underrated singles: Do you overlook them?
Essence.com featured a list of the most underrated “types” that seem to get overlooked in dating. There was a list for men and women, which seemed to outline the many perfectly dateable individuals that get a bad wrap in dating. From the Mamma’s boy to the corporate/career woman, the underrated types actually read more like …normal people. You know, humans with imperfections?
I can’t honestly say that I haven’t overlooked men who are considered underrated. However, I am not all that convinced they would have been interested or a good match for me anyway. I think some single people are drawn to a certain “popular” type but is that who we should end up dating?
If we are all trying to date “the type”who are supposedly in high demand, who do you think is getting ignored? Would you consider yourself the type that is underrated? If so, does it bother you? What (if anything) would you do differently to stand out?

PR’s still picking on SimpleM. What I find funny is no one knows what kind of contact the two of them have off the blog.

Kimmie, exactly. We see everyday what some of these men are complaining about not being able to obtain.
It makes me ask the question, “What does love look like?”

@PR ~ guess that did read weird. I was referring to SimpleM and ARed with her comment to you to stop picking on him. You don’t know what type of contact they have w/each other off this blog (if any).

I love women I just don’t jump at every lady passing by, that helps me to keep drama in my life at it’s lowest level. The past weekend shined a little on that front though. I got approached by a nice lady who says she been into me for a while but I didn’t know it.

Blackfoote, there is a lady in distress. She is drowning in a 2foot deep pool. What do you do?
A. tell her to stand up and calm down
B.do you dive in head first to her rescue.
Since we don’t want to lose you I will remind you that it is a 2 foot deep pool.

Willie D. never done a dinner party I’m a grilling man.

Robin is stealing Batman’s girl, Poison Ivy, because Cat Woman has hooked them up.

Super Man wa a punk but if you want to be Super Man go ahead. Ever notice everytime Super Man got beatdown it was because he was trying to save a woman? SpiderMan didn’t love those whores, he was in love but he decided against and left her on the corner where she belonged.

Purp – Black is underrated and overlooked. My money on the under-dog. SimpMan is just too polished. Plus Black is hungry he gotta eat too. Pay attention strong is the force in this one.

Leggs that lady who approached me never let on I had approached earlier this year at one of the cookouts me and some friends had and she shot me down. Her words you look like you got too many women.
