Re: I'm very middle class
 

Soror Steeltrap,
I totally agree.

Generally, I would be a little leery of joining this sort of club (if I was interested, which I am not) b/c of the type of man that I would meet. I don't want a man who thinks that he has to pay $2500 to meet a woman AND does not have a problem with taking part in an organization that uses such superficial characteristics to determine membership.

But Professor,
What I don't understand is, if women are supposed to outnumber men so extensively when it comes to numbers graduating college, etc. why can't these men who are looking for college-educated, pretty women just step outside their door - for free? We are all over the place.
SC

Its shallow but..
 

I agree with Lovelyivy.

I would PO'd if I paid $2,500 to meet a group of men who all looked like Busta Rhymes or like some other booga-wooga! :mad: There are HANDSOME successful AA males out there too, so why shouldn't the men be held to the same requirement?

That does make it sound like a high-end escort service.

:rolleyes: As I dismiss any "professional" publication with typos and other errors. From the Lopez-Pierre magazine, http://www.reginemagazine.com/

"REGINE Magazine is looking for a female swimsuit model of color in great shape (African-American, Hispanic) for the Sexy Summer Swimwuit Section of the magazine."

…and so on, and so forth. :rolleyes:

On another board I'm on,
 

A poster noticed that under the requirements for "men" who want to join this club, professional or a degree weren't part of them. So she questioned whether a drug dealer or a character like THIS could join:

Re: On another board I'm on,
 

Well at the end of the day this venture does sound like an escort service. Pimps could met plenty of prospective hoes there, of course they'd have to beat up their owners for their cut first!

Re: On another board I'm on,
 

First, I see that Bootsey still aint got his glasses back

Second, I would DEMAND a refund if this man came walking in :mad:

Whoyoutalkinboutwillis? (I mean LI84) :p

(wow, hot, mature, intelligent sistas, count me in!!)

*Rain Man goes in the coffee can and pulls out his cash. $100, $200, $300, $400......*

Not really - many women have a undergrad, grad and so on . . . degrees, many are like me and still don't make any money. My point being that some men want AA women with intelligence, money, and beauty. Its like this, when men go to clubs that are 5 women to each man. Women are often subject to take what she can from what I have seen (not that this is a good thing). In contact, men can be more selective because there is greater number to choose from.

Re: Just plain wrong
 

When she turns 36, they tell her, "Take off the bra-zeer.....'YER OUT!! YOU BEEN IMPLANTING YOU TI**IES!!

No I havent!

YEZ YOU HAVE. YOU BEEN PERKING YOU TI**TIES!!

(j/k yall j/k)

Thanks to Donal Logue and his Menudo commentary that inspired this post.

LOL at some of these post.

Now a male has to pay $2500 to see some female eye candy. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, that sounds a little cheapish because this fine sista sitting here typing this reply has one degree under her belt and another one almost finished is worth more than $2500.

LOL - just think that these women and maybe you have some high priced *&^%$:o

I'm only going to pay up to a $100.00 meal for a sistah

:o

But Professor, intelligence, money and beauty do not often go hand in hand with some men's selection criteria...

The issue is that some men want the women to be their momma's... Clean up behind them, do all the house chores and then bring home the bacon too!!!

That is extremely difficult to do in this climate...

It is interesting that IMHO, a woman cannot have it all as they progress up the ladder of success...

Either they MUST be childless

Or no relationship whatsoever

To even begin be on a "level" playing ground as a man in the same financial income bracket...

What do folks think it is like for a sistah, then?

The sad part is that "scores" of women are responding to this mess. :rolleyes: I agree with most of the posts from the ladies. I don't think that it is fair that women have to meet these extreme criteria all for the sake of being "eye candy." It doesn't matter that you have all the education in the world. The women are basically reduced to being trophies. If that's not the case, what's the purpose of the "head-to-toe" photograph? If I'm not "pretty" or fit certain size requirements, does that make me any less educated or profession? Eligible and desirable?

The men are not required to meet any criteria. All the ad says is that they should be "professional." Professional what? Professional janitors? Carpenters? Animal trainers? Yet, women are asked to be college educated and CHILDLESS. WTF? So, I have to be childless, while Pookie the "professional" plumber can have 6 kids and 4 baby mommas.

Any woman that participates in this is getting the short end of the stick....

What is even worse is the "Vocational Prostitutes" they are requesting to submit photographs to the "Pimps Up Hoes Down" playaz balls have silicone parts to begin with...

Ain't no way "Lassie's" hair is real... And the Avery Company makes all kinds of business cards... And one can have a pay as you go plan with no name mobile phone company...

If these bruhs were smart, they'd be asking for proof of residence and mortgage financing... Like who financed your home? FANNIE MAE or Section 8? :rolleyes:

But that just goes to show you the lack of pedigree of the fellas...

For those LaLalandians, one knows which side is "the correct side
to be from in Baldwin Hills... Other than that, most powerhouse Black folks come from the Altadena area--and I am talkin' about Old Money Stylee like Pio Pico...

Or for those DC'ites, what is the "historical" location for the "powerhouse Black family residences"? PG county? I could be wrong...

For old San Diego, it use to be parts of Oak Park up thru Emerald Hills, thru parts of Fuerte Drive in La Mesa where all the Boule members reside...

And let's not even begin to ask these negroes for an HIV test...
