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?

ok, ok, I am truly crying. ARed, you are funny!
And the fact I used the word “brother” to WillieD before seeing’s ARed’s post! This is pure d comedy to me!
And ARed, he was looking at me like he could gobble me up right then and there. Even with the buffet still open (LOLOL)…I’m laughing so hard my sides are hurting.

Shuddup PR. If I’m not here when the blog opens and it’s about 11:00ish or later, I’m skimming or I go straiht to the last page. If I step into heavy convo most times I have to go back and re-read but most times I don’t so if something was said and I missed it I’m not going back to read. Sometimes I have meetings and come back and the entire subject has turned into something completely different. Mostly I just jump in and start reading.

Willie, he was acting a little weird when we were at war with the ladies last week, he was the first to give up the fight. Water board him, we need answers.
See that there bruh. WillieD I told you to check into his security clearance last week. You said he checked out though. Think we been had bruh.
Blackfoote and I met, we jived for a minute, talked on the phone for awhile and Poof, nothing else.
Black Looks like you done got called on the carpet bruh. Just do like Dave Chapelle and plead the 1,2,3,4 FIZIFTH.

That Hinrich guy was the best move the Hawks made, he plays hard. Crawford is being recognized and allowed to do his thing now as well. If they move the ball and stop settling for Jump Shots they can hang with anyone.

@Celisea ~ I had an off-site meeting this morning. Stayed at the hotel last night so I wouldn’t have to fight the traffic. Blackfoote didn’t know about it. I kept my whereabouts a secret from my associates.

It’s kinda coming across like, “Why didn’t you like me? What’s wrong with me?”
Which I know you don’t mean it that way and that you’re splitting your sides laughing…but…yeah…that’s the way it reads.

Oh you all better believe Blackfoote has emailed Leggs at least twice or called her since she put the spotlight on him.

I guess my sense of humor kinda overshadowed the importance of what I was putting on blast. Blackfoote did nothing wrong.
@SexyC ~ ok, sorry then because that’s not what I meant. I simply chalked it up to I wasn’t his cup of tea. As Raqi V says, not everyone is going to like Leggs. Guess I took the meet and greet a little too far in letting it known that we did in fact meet. That was so long ago.

personally, i like the blog meetups. and any one-on-one meetups are none of our business unless yous choose to make it so. i guess blackfoote chooses NOT to explain (to us) why no more meetups with ms. leggs.
off topic: just watched an episode of ‘what not to wear’ and thinking there is simply no way to soften a woman with a serious swimmer’s build. so unfortunate.
that is all.

@SC
Not fo pages ago, one dude was getting questioned about a lady that held an attraction for him and told him this weekend.
Three posts later “didn’t the flirting give you a sign?”
There are those that hold you accountable irregardless of who’s throwing draws.

Or maybe he really shook her insides loose a couple times and doesn’t want to blow her cover (luv ya Leggs). Good lookin out Blackfoote.

Didn’t I just comment last week about how evil women can get when they get rejected, and I was specifically talking about puddy. No, transaction even occurred in this scenario, and the pitchforks and tar and feather are all ready to go.

Ain’t gonna lie, I saw a fine line getting drawn with all the hero remarks. Too much of that will transform you into B.A.B. But I didn’t say nothing because I didn’t want to be that girl. The meanie that calls out the B.A.B. plays. I played nice and waited for you to transform on your own.

@SexyC ~ I hope your 4:03 isn’t directed at me. Never threw any draws, no sexual innuendos, no kiss, no hugs. I simply was being honest. We bloggers meet each other all the time, and we act like we haven’t. A few wondered if we’ve met and I was honest about it. However, for any of you who feel like SexyC
“Why didn’t you like me? What’s wrong with me?” you are wrong. I don’t think like this.
Ok, this has backfired and I’m good with it. If I look foolish in any of your eyes, there’s nothing I can do about it because I know me.

Raqi You better enjoy yourself, or fake it real good because if you don’t then he’ll be miserable too. He’ll regret wanting to go to the beach in the first place. If you don’t really want to go or have reservations, then speak your peace now. Don’t get that man to the beach and then have the pouty face the whole time. lol
