E.D.A (Electronic Displays of Affection) With My Girlfriend
About That Life…Together
I appreciate everyone’s input (thanks Moxie for running the letter). For the record. my friend never said she can’t find a man because of her race. We were talking about the response to her online dating profile and she said she wasn’t getting very little interest from men. Another friend of ours (a white woman in her mid-40s) put up a profile around the same time she did and she is drowning in messages from men. We’ve had male friends review her profile and pictures – they are pretty honest people – and they couldn’t see anything wrong with it. As I mentioned, she is open to all races, body types, etc. so her pickiness isn’t the problem either,

I’m betting your mid-40s Caucasian friend is relatively good-looking, and thus that’s why she gets more attention online. The African-American friend probably doesn’t photograph as well, or perhaps is overweight. Men are very visual – especially online. So that first visual impression better be a good one. Your male friends that reviewed her profile may be honest – but they aren’t going to be honest enough to tell her to her face that she’s unattractive if that’s the case. So I wouldn’t rely on their imput. If you really want to know the brutally honest truth, send your friend’s full-body picture to Moxie and she will certainly give it to you straight.
