Where can a black man find a mate? I'm tired of working hard, living right and being single. However, finding a soul mate is an undertaking. There are dating sites that offer quality women. There are dating sites that offer a lot of quantity. Like shopping for clothes, you have to try on a lot before finding the perfect outfit. Trying online dates are tricky. Look for sites that provide three things: 1) variety, 2) variety and 3) variety. The more you can pick through, the more you can be selective to date.

Some people prefer Match.com to e-harmony because it is less structured, and, truth be told, it has a younger, glitzier image than e-harmony does with it's doddering founder and spokesperson.

That doesn't mean there are no wackos or sex-fiends on the paid dating sites, but it certainly filters out a lot of people who could more easily forge a deception from a non-pay location. I am not completely sold on their compatibility system, but e-harmony seems to be the leader in online dating. They are a high visibility sight, with commercials on the television and radio.
