Comment: Hey AC. long time no write. Chick number 1 is definitely too concerned w/ looks. Maybe that's why she's internet dating. She's obviously fickle, and superficial (but blatantly honest). Homeboy probably had the "airbrushed" pics from 10 years ago on that site, and the real deal "took em last month" pics on the second site. The convo was good. She "seemed" intelligent, and they were phone kickin it, and he wanted to be honest. She'll probably find a "good lookin" man that's a piece of shyt, and can't keep a good job. Hey, but he's F.O.I.N.E:)

Comment: xavixavi you are funny, but probably right. Unfortunately I think we have all been guilty of valuing looks over everthing else. Hopefully we grow out of it at some point. The writer sounds very young, so attribute it to her youth.

Comment: OSUN is right. Being superficial is something we've all been guilty of. In my case I passed up on a really nice brother to continue dealing with an idiot because he didn't look as good as the other. I could kick myself in the azz for that now....

Comment: For the 1st post: She is superficial & he is faking the funk with the photos. After all, it is the internet. For the 2nd post: It takes a lot to date while in college and you have distance. From my own personal experience, study time is crucial in making good grades. Also, one-on-one time is crucial in having a good relationship. If there is no compromise, then the relationship will fail. Plus, doesn't the guy have breaks in betweem semesters? Does she ever help him study or review his notes? She should also consider that in 2 years he will have a degree. Cash register rings!!

Comment: The first one will hopefully grow out of being superficial but that lie she told, AC was right - won't be any kind of a real friendship til she comes clean. The second female knew what she was getting into when she met him. She sounds like the kind that needs a man there all the time and with this boy's schedule that's just not possible. Tell him what you want and if he doesn't at least make a consistent effort to meet you half way - you've got plenty of time to meet someone else.

Comment: The first letter is funny. AC is right, just keep it light. I too used to be overly concerned with appearances, but I write that off to being in my twenties. Once I grew up I learned better and did better. I like the advice to the second letter too. I had to learn the hard way that if somebody really wants to be with you, they will MAKE time for you no matter how busy they are. Girlfriend, if he won't make you a priority then keep stepping and find someone who will. You are worth it.

Comment: Being superficial is one thing, but who wants to roll over in the morning and have Chewbaca staring them in the face? Keep it real, looks matter, maybe not as much as personality, but it is important.

Comment: DallasDiva should cut us ugly brothers a break. That's why we are given a longer stroke to compensate! If you can't look us in the face, well doggy works for most of us. All jokes aside. The sister in the first letter is shallow, but conflicted. Sounds likes she's becoming aware that the boy had more going on. I guess she'll have to lie about some miscarriage pretty soon.

Comment: re: Military dude ... I can actually see how a person would have very little time or inclination to be calling and texting somebody all week if he is going to school and working *shrugging shoulders*

Comment: I can see how everyone may think that homegirl in the 1st story is superficial but come on men do it all the time I must admit I have chatted with dudes online before and it was fun nothing serious but some of them as soon as I sent a pic stopped chatting with me and it's not that i'm ugly but I am full figured so here they go making assumptions so I don't feel she was to wrong the lie yeah was alittle extreme and I think she should just leave it alone all together I have since stopped internet dating if you would i'd rather know what i'm getting and vice versa.
