But I think as people mature (I'll speak for myself--late 30s) I'm less interested in seriously dating someone who is radically different from me. Yeah, be different, show me some things I don't know, give me new perspectives to consider, but don't be so far out there that agreement on more than 3 or 4 big issues is beyond reach.
It's probably less relevant for guys -- the closest I ever got to falling for a "female thug" was Vivica Fox in "Set It Off." ...I still can't believe they kilt ole girl her like that.

My disinterest in thugs has always been with me. See, when I was a kid, those were the type of guys who always called me ugly and weird. That isht really colored my self-esteem.
I have never been interested in thuggish guys, even when I was in my teens or 20s. I'm very straight-laced -- never dated in HS, never was kissed until I was in my 20s. Sort of like this Nicole chick on "Freshman Diaries," a new Showtime reality series.
