well I am one of the Nubian Divas
what's on your mind?

Allright - since mine was the original snark that started this. First of all - if I misunderstood your intentions then I apologize, but before you write ME off as not nice let me explain where I'm coming from. I do accept that at first I was guilty of what Aneaj said was "generalizing the man". Haven't we all at some point in our dance careers been faced with a man in an audience who doesn't have the tact or finess to talk to a woman like a human being, and instead just assumes that we're there for his gratification and amusement?? The name of the thread, when I first read it, struck me along those lines, which is why I posted my short answer - gut reaction - I felt generalized. I mean, did you even read the Tribe introduciton beyond the words Nubian Diva's? I have no problem with people meeting and falling for each other here on Tribe or where ever else they want to do it, but this tribe is not for that purpose. I can understand why a man would want to come in here and try his luck though, but please don't pretend that it's not your intent from the get go. If you are really interested in getting to know any of the ladies in this tribe, then get to know us from the standpoint of the Dance. The music, the environment, the people, there is SO much to learn - just ask. You will not only get all sorts of replies,and inevitably make new friends (that you can then date), but you will be actually interacting and learning about something new. There is NOTHING I like more than to talk to newbies about our beautiful artform. For my harshness I apologize, for my message, I don't. : )
Peace - Kashmir
