Some Random Bits on Dating
So, Chad Ochocinco (nee Johnson) picked a group of women for his reality show. Of that group of 17, two of them were black women. Now, he’s being raked across the coals for this. I don’t understand why, and neither does he:
"I deal with all types of women. My mind set is that I think outside the box. I'm all over the place and I want to experience everything. There's nothing wrong with [Black women] at all."
When asked if he was surprised by black women's strong reaction to his dating preference, Chad told Essence, "I can't do anything about that. I've never heard other races complaining about their men dating outside of their race besides Black people. I hate that we continue to pull that race card."
This is where I’m going to be really, really blunt: some black women believe they are exclusively entitled to a man like Chad Ochocinco, merely because of the income level he is on and the stature he has. That they are upset over his choice of women speaks volumes. Really, who gives a shit? Or, more directly: would they have given a shit if this man weren’t Chad Ochocinco, weren’t on TV, and wasn’t a multimillionaire athlete? I mean, I’m black, nobody cares one whit about my dating choices, and probably won’t…unless I hit the jackpot tomorrow.
Then there’s this:
Geri Brin wants her 31-year-old son, Colby, to find Mrs. Right -- so she has launched a "Date My Single Kid" section on her website to help aid in the search. Now other moms can use the site to help their kids find mates, too!
This is a nightmare. I love mom, but I think she knows me well enough not to do this to me. Generally, I would go to her in an advisory capacity to gauge potential mates, but she leaves the final decision to me to continue to deal with that person. I don’t think I’d want to be subject to a site like this unless I had absolutely consented to it and knew about it. Probably that’s going on with many of these, but I know that there are plenty others who might be submitting their sons up for this without their consent.
Even with that initial skepticism, I think this woman has the right idea:
ml: Do you have any dating dos or don'ts?
GB: No, I feel that in today's society, there are no musts. It doesn't make a relationship. She doesn't have to be Jewish; she doesn't have to live in a certain place... I just want my son to find a nice, loving girl. She must be nice and loving.
I like that idea. Unfortunately, in this era of self-help Rules to Finding the Mate You Will Marry and Ultimately Divorce Because One or More Rules Were Broken In Some Book You Found at the Discount Bookstore for $5.99 in Paperback…it’s easier said than done.
But…to close this out…Craig and his wife are going to have a wee little CraigyFerg. Where he found the Sexy Time for that, I have no idea. But congrats, Craig...IT STILL WORKS!
