The Match-Making, Internet-Dating Hybrid: Paul Carrick Brunson Could Get You Hitched.

Yep, I feel similarly. When it comes to people willing to offer a helping hand, I don't care whether it's young, old, brown, light brown, painted nails, hairy, whatever.

Christelyn, I dont have blind hatred. It is just that I used to run with a crowd of people who that guy looks like he would be a part of and I know how those men think. I I might have been a little judgemental. I certainly did not feel that way about the gentlemen who wrote the article in the WSJ. Please delete my other comment below.

It's the quick to judge, negative attitude which certain people consistently give off which keeps them from the joy, love and happiness that they so crave. I like what Mr.Brunson had to say. I will be passing his info on. Chris, once again thanks for all you do.

You know what was KEY for me when I listened to Paul? He said that the most important thing in forging relationships was not skin color, but shared values. He also warned that women should have two non-negotiables: Don't be in ANY relationship that jeopardizes your HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

Thats what I got out of it.

Sandy you dont know who I am. You don't know anything about my personality or attitude. I don't have a problem at all attracting men. You took that one comment or concern that I had about that man and you judged me. This was based on that one comment. There have been instances when I felt that other people have been judged harshly on this blog. But I can tell you one thing. I would likely in person run circles around you in real life in every category. I mean looks, personality, intelligence and so on and so on. Don't be fooled. I was just a little leary about a black man considering the climate between black men and women. Nothing more

@ Anonymous:I am not sure why you felt the need to address me as my only reply on this post was directly to Chris. I am a nobody who does not in anyway factor into your life!

I agree with you on this one, Chris. This guy is trying to help people get together. He's a nice guy. Really. He's been married for 10 years and everything. He sounds pretty sane to me. Besides, this is a business. Do you really think that he will not set you up with a man from the group of your choice because he has a grudge against BW? I don't get that vibe from him. If he messed you up with matching you on purpose, you'd be shouting from the rooftops to not go to this guy because he sabotaged your chances. And you should, but it would totally tank his business so he's not willing to risk that. Besides, I get the idea that he's just all about love and getting people together. Do your thing, Paul. I fully support for real nice guys.

You guys, this is a happily married man of ten years. What you just said is ridiculous. Not every black man is the enemy. A smart and cunning woman learns from every credible source, and all you have to do is check Paul's credentials. Would it help that he runs the business with his wife, and black woman, or is she suspect too?

THANK YOU, Christelyn!!! I have to say, the blind hatred from some of these idiotic commenters towards ANY black man is ridiculous...all he's doing is trying to is bring loving relationships of EVERY color to the table. If you're not interested in dating/marrying black men, cool. After all, that's your preference, not to mention that this IS an IR dating site. But some of you guys are starting to sound like a KKK brochure. Women here like to complain about the prejudice they receive from black men and want to be treated as human beings by them and yet look at the number of women here who fail to reciprocate. It seems as though Christelyn is clearly one of the very few on here who practice what she preaches (CHARACTER OVER COLOR). Like I said Chris, you're an intelligent woman and your blog and blog posts are awesome. The folks who comment, completely different story. But I think the dung-filled comments left by certain women on here will serve as a warning for any man out there as to who to avoid.

Exactly my point it is stupid to discriminate against your own race and then encourage others to look at character over skin colour in relation to non black men

XXX

Okay so I am going to leave this post to everyone who keeps coming on here to make comments about my comments. I will admit that I reacted and judged this guy before I even listened to the interview. I just got finished listening to the interview and he sounds like a pretty stand up guy.

With regards to the comments from all of the rest of you women, I will relay the same message to you that I relayed to Sandy. I might have made that one boo boo but I would probably run circles around most of you women in person in just about every category.

I take back anything that I posted about this guy. Now you can move on to the next subject and trying to make yourselves attractive.

Bye! Because with an attitude like that you are probably far from attractive. What is wrong with ppl?

Because with an attitude like that you are probably far from attractive

Yeah, right, okay if that makes you feel better.

Girl please you're Anonymous LOL!

LOL!

Amen. He's an upstanding brother. I swear some folks are stuck on stupid! They lack intellect. Kudos to Paul!

You are correct, I think most women in this forum have sense enough to know someone with good intentions from someone with bad. If you don't, then something is wrong with you not him. The man is trying to help and as Browncow said, run a business. He's got wife and child to provide for, I don't think he'd sobatage their well-being b/c of random folks. Wow, some folks have issues with narcissism.

Clearly, you have issues. Stormfront.org would love you.

This comment was addressed to "kitty".

I have a right to not trust anyone for any reason. I don't apologize for anything I said.

No one asked you to. You know get off the soapbox. Good gravy!

Absolutely ridiculous.

I don't see how some of you plan on succeeding with these giant chips on your shoulders.

Funny, Jules...you're still wondering, but I KNOW that I'm the problem. My problem is that I keep accepting these guys with all of their faults, only to have them then find fault with (and leave) ME! Now I get what that's all about, but as for you...I hope it's not your SELF, your basic standards or your intuition that you are questioning. I agree that it might be worth the matchmaking (or coaching) fee to find out. Go for it!

Yaaay, Eugenia! There ARE some great guys online; but as Paul said in the interview, there are SO many people online now (AND we're grouping up, for example, by race) that it has become almost as difficult to meet people - especially a different cross-section of people. So, good job!

Lori, I say use as many resources as you can. When I did it online was just hitting it's stride but yes I could understand a oversupply in the online market. But the thing is most ppl just do online and nothing else and wonder why they aren't meeting ppl. You have to do everything as much as is available.
