I like the idea of setting up a service that matches up professional black men and women. Now...correct me if I'm wrong, but, why is it that the women do not have to go through an extensive background check? Why should the men pay for a service and they may end up with a black woman who only has a high school diploma, makes minimum wage, etc? I'm sure the men are looking for their equal just like the women are.

Now that I went back and looked at that part of the article, Soror, I have to concur with your point on women and background checks. It's a matter of fairness -- if the men have to be screened, I would say that the women should undergo the same scrutiny, too.
The writer should have pressed Ms. Nelson on that point.
