Goddess of the Week: Andromeda, Goddess by Birth.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO for it Kent!. (can't believe I'm saying this, but tis true) the internet makes distance seem like next door!.

Good luck to you and Andromeda!.

Awww Kent :-)...Don't give up so easily...I like a guy with some fight to him

Not to my knowledge; just from the great state of Mississippi. My hair is natural too...the pic in the blue dress was a perm though. If you look at the headshot in the orange tank it's natural in that one. I'd like to see a photo...you on Facebook? It's not often someone admits when another person looks like them lol. Please find me and add me :-)

I do but I am not a facebook person. Have not been on for a while. I am going to send a pic of me and one of my FORMER best friends. Take a look at it and then take it down. I am the one on the left. When you see it, you should see why I said that you remind me of me with your blue dress photo.

I need to scan the photo. I will do it later today. Take care!

You can just shoot it to me in email. aoatis at me dot com... I know I wrote it in words lol...

My photo is scanning right now. Damn it is taking long...lol

We really do resemble lol...my dad does have a daughter I've never met in person...maybe we could be sisters! lol

Awwww thank you! :-)

I am female here in Atlanta and I am happily married to a great guy. There are plenty of single, beautiful woman in this city such as Andromeda. But it is my opinion that the women here, and this includes many of my girlfriends, are only concerned with what you look like. Now my husband is a good looking guy, but that was not what I fell in love with. I fell in love with his kind heart and the way he treated me and others.

My friends who are single are missing out on great men in this city because they write men off too quickly and don't take the time to get to know that person. I always say attractiveness comes in many forms.

I am afraid my girlfriends will be single for a long time if they don't stop brushing good men off because of their initial attraction to that person. People become more beautiful on the outside as you see how beautiful the person is on the inside.

I am not saying Andromeda falls under this category, but I just see too many of my girlfriends and other females in this city who are looking for 6 feet and 6 figures when a good man just exited their life who would have been great for them.

I know what you mean...and although looks are good...they are not the primary factor. If i'm attracted enough to kiss you we're in good shape lol

Your reply tells me otherwise. You are telling me that your attractiveness to someone is based whether or not you could stand kissing that person. Which basically boils down to looks. Which means it is your primary factor.

Beautiful, black women in Atlanta are a dime a dozen. Walk down the street and you will see them everywhere. And you mentioned that you have no problem meeting men which I can understand why. You are beautiful yourself and I could see men hitting on you consistently.

I don't understand what is keeping you from meeting a wonderful man in Atlanta. They are everywhere.

You just have to take the time to get to know them and see what they are all about.

When you see how sweet and generous and loving they are, that is when they become more kissable. Which I am going to do to my husband right now because he is making us and the kids lunch out in the backyard!!

Happy 4th!!

We will agree to disagree...

Can't agree to disagree with you. I've seen this play out. Hope things change. Good luck. I'm done. Gotta go!

I think your experiences have led you to think that many of the women who are single in Atlanta are jaded and put looks before personality. That is not me. The nice guy usually attracts me before the handsome one. Never did I state that attractivness had to do with looks. Attraction is not a one pillar phenomenon. There are several levels and parts to attraction.

I also don't think you got my joke. My level of attraction to one guy may be because of his looks...but to another may be because of his spectacular personality. As long as I'm attracted; no one else matters. Kissing is a very emotional and connected thing. That's what I use as my gage for liking someone. I don't kiss everyone I date.

So again I say I'm sorry you haven't had the best of things to guide your opinion... and because you don't know me all I can do is respect that. Thanks for your opinion. I value it and appreciate your insight :-)

Wow! at Razorburns passive aggressive, underhand comments aimed at Andromeda! I actually wonder if Razorburn is a DBR-BM posing as a woman. This is because these days DBR-BM operate with exreme stealth; they now know that direct, vicious attacks aimned at destroying BW's confidence no longer work as well as they used to so they find insiduous but still poisonous ways of verbally trying to harm BW; such as implying as Razorburn did (in an oblique but still catty )manner that Andromeda is only vetting men based on looks- she DID not state this; she mentioned that she would like to be ATTRACTED (hence be willing to kiss him) to the guy which is normal! Attraction and chemistry are neccessary in most successful realtionships and are not always tied up with looks are they? Razorburn then goes on to imply that there is something 'wrong' with Andromeda, since she has yet to be coupled with a 'good BM' as wonderful as hers... All part of the game to ensure BW remain firmly without good prospects- attack their choices, imply they are setting their standards too high and to nail the coffin firmly, indicate there must be something wrong with them!
Razorburns comments are sickening especially as it was not Andromenda who initially brought up the huge number of down low BM in Atlanta! If anything, Andromeda responded graciously and humanely about this issue WITHOUT passing judgement then went on to discuss PERSONALITY as her main vetting tool. Yet she got attacked by Razorburn. BTW why are you, Razorburn- a happily married woman to a 'good BM' doing on this site?
We all know how catty women can be, our own worst enemies truly but at least WW put aside petty jealousies to band together and ensure they remain on top; but BW allow no such thing to get in the way of tearing each other down. *SMH*. Newsflash- as long as BW behave this way, NO progress will be made.
Andromeda you are beatuful and a class act- the sensible, confident way you handled the sly undermining comments really showed your true personality. Keep on doing what you do, you are gorgeous, well-mannered, smart and above all completely confident. Please pop back in when you meet the rainbeau of your dreams; I am certain a quality one will snap you up soon!
*back to lurkmode*:-)

Thanks a ton! I am not in the business of disrespecting people. I believe in reaping what you sow. I am trying to cultivate positivity in my life and don't tend to let pettiness bring me down! Thanks for having my back, Sis! It means a lot. :-)

Thanks Robynne!

It's truly a pleasure. I love this job.

I'm SO PROUD of the group! And that's WHY I do GOTW...I'm so sick of people saying (well, black men, let's be honest) saying that black women are ugly, fat and baby mammas. These women are BEAUTIFUL and educated, and guess what? SINGLE. SINGLE. SINGLE. Looking for quality MEN. As long as I have fingers I will showcase beautiful black women, inside and out, large and small, big, little, tall and short on this blog. I'm working to change the image of black women, one blog entry at a time. And hopefully get some of thise goddesses married off. ;-)

I love that boards like BBW allows people to see us for who we are....and that we are varied and beautiful and human :-)

I think many BM say those things about BW to keep us beaten down as they feel beaten down. And those of us who have risen above the fray must believe and must know there are chances for love and respect....yet the sad truth is that most often you must seek it out beyond our circles.

Best

Statements like that make it worth it for me. Thanks.

You are doing a great job and have the best blog out there. Very progressive!

I hope this pretty single women finds her knight! :)

Between you and Chris... Lol. Please don't throw anything...chris no sex changes...you're a hottie already :-)

So guess that means you wouldn't date me if I was a Christoper. Fine. I guess I just stay a girl and be married then. haha

tru

i couldn't agree more... she should move, for sure.

Yep. Unless she eats little children, I think the location is probably why she's single.

@anon, that's what I thought: "Oh, she lives in Atlanta. That explains it."

I know that it sounds weird, but I feel that too!

She is absolutely adorable; I can see some guy snatching her up fast!

Please update us Andromeda when it happens. ;)
