I wish they would quit putting this "I" instead of this "1". Drives me nuts when I Google the number. Quit writing words instead of letters. I wanna just highlight it and throw it up in the search box.

Also, I like all people but please be proud and honest about what race you are.

a lot of people don't like to admit to being a particular race OR like to hone in on being 1/16 of something else that they favor. also, the issue of race vs. ethnicity/nationality comes into play because terms like "latina" or "asian" encompass so many races and countries.

remember, ruth goldstein from tel aviv is technically asian, but considered european but isn't strictly white as she is arab but wants to be called jewish which is a religion not a race. its all very complicated unless you adhere to one simple rule...race/color/nationality don't matter as long as you find her attractive.

One thing if their ethnicity is a little diverse but it's another thing when it seems like a con in the ad. Race does matter if you're in the mood for something specific.

If you think the numbers/letters game is bad on backpage you should try craigslist where posters frequently spread their phone numbers/letters out over a whole paragraph. I always wondered if this is some kind of psychological stress test.

I don't put numbers in my ad at all.

So if I ask Siri to just call Trixi, it'll go through to you?

Someday, it'll reach my corporate headquarters

I just have an email. What they write about and how they write it is my first stage of vetting.

Whether it reaches your headquarters or hind quarters, either works just fine for me.

I like that approach to vetting--gives you a bit of a heads up on the potential client.

The race thing is really hilarious. I love chocolate women, but you are NOT "creole" if you are black as midnight.
