It's funny cuz EVERYONE is talkin bout this crazy chit. I was waitin on the train and I was listening to two women in their mid 40's and they were praisin God that they were not single.
I also have a couple of female friends who are in their early 30's as I am, and they collectively have been longing for marriage, children, white-picket fence. Some of them have online personal ads and are prayed upon by men they meet. One of my friends have even come to tears when around a bunch of other sisterfriends and all of them were either engaged to be married and/or pregnant.
The point is is that I hope that they will be much more discerning in the future-and ultimately if the desire is to just get their freak on - to make sure that that brotha pus on a condom.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying...but are you saying that married women are happy because they don't have to deal with this?? IMO the Down Low Issue is more of a "eye opener" and "bombshell" for those that are married/shacking up/in so called monogomous relationships etc.. At least when you're single, you know that you need to get tested (whether you do it or not is on you) if you're going to be sleeping around. But the women that feel they have a committed relationship are not getting tested for HIV/AIDS..
My point is..NO ONE IS SAFE! Married, Divorced, Single whatever..this down low thing is touching errybody.. I just found out that a a close friend of the family has "suspicions" about her husband of 15+ years
