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?

Amazon is on a mission, she is hard core screening applicants. Hey Amazon I have a brother, he likes city life is not a farm guy but has a farm upbringing. He’s just like me but without the criminal side…and has shorter hair. LOL

AmazonR, I was trying to see if Blackfoote what a good fit for you but I see he is not right for you.
I know Raqi… you’re so transparent. Why is everyone trying to fix me up?
Blackfoote is close to 50 if not already there. He is a Sagittarius tho! You know I tag all the 6′2″ + men who come on this blog for uh, research purposes .

“You look like you got too many women.”
RUN!!! Words of an insa-currrr (insecure) chick. She’s already prepared to not trust you. And you’ll have to go into the relationship fighting an unseen enemy.

See that’s why I told the guy nto to invite the brother in law on here, because he would not have a chance.
Amazon I think we should get together and watch each other as we practice being onanist.
Anyone notice that person never posted after we all looked up what onanist meant?

I think Howard will opt out from the Magic and if Atlanta could find a way to pick him up they would be hell on wheels. Plus isn’t Howard from Atlanta, that would be good for the fan base as well.

@WillieD ~ WOW, he’s been talking about retiring for awhile now. I miss the crew too. You know me, always running from track practice, to a track meet, to home. I need to stop and smell the liquor (LOL). Cool, let me know.
@ARed ~ let me clarify with all jokes to the side. He did seem interested. Says he likes the fiestiness which is me, my sense of humor, smile, my walk my talk (singing MJ), etc. But, something about me chilled him off. Apparently since there was no other talk of meeting again (LOLOL). I was cool and K.I.M. And, I’m not putting anyone on blast but myself. Apparently I’m not all that and a bag of chips! (LOLOL).

Purple — That would be nice, but aren’t the Hawks pretty much maxed out on the salary cap after re-signing Joe? Probably have to be a sign & trade or something…? Then again, I’m not totally up-to-speed on the details of the NBA cap…
