Excerpt:
"This actually happened to me more than a few times. After a little while of “getting to know you” convos (and because we’re Black), the how did you come up convo arises with the inevitable church background story. Many women will tell you they want a man to go to church with them every Sunday and help build them up spiritually, etc. Then you drop the, “yeah, well I don’t go to church and have no intention of doing so.” Without missing a beat, “well you do believe in God right? Because as long as that’s the case I’ll look past the fact that church really matters to me and you’d never go with me. I have cable.”

I found it very interesting and sadly true. Women always set these really high standards and as soon as a man comes along we thrown them away without blinking, i know i have sometimes.... It's just that I think women try to change the man into the behavior they want. We start liking before checking our list of standards, and we hope to change a man. What I have learn so far, is you can never change a person. No matter how much you try and love that person, they will not change.

NB: I should add "not lowering my standards for anyone" to my list of resolutions ;)
And also this website is very funny and insightful in understanding men, especially black men. It helps sometimes ( there are times where it's too sarcastic and macho views that I don't believe) to understand how perceive women and relationships
