I'd be a little hurt and offended if a lady's ad said 'no big boned, fuzzy, middle aged gingers', but would get over it. It's sad that anybody feels the need to so blanketly discriminate over something as meaningless as race, but there seems to be no permenant cure for ignorance, and in the end this is a "seller's market" and the ladies should be free to set any restrictions, limitations, and preferences on their service that they feel necessary to be comfortable. In solidarity though, this cracka wouldn't have anything to do with anyone that I knew to be racist because I generally prefer intelligent and sweet natured ladies.

What if they are Latino, Asian, European, to heavy, to skinny, to short, to tall, a blonde, a redhead (YUM), a brunette, breasts to big or to small, aren't you then discriminating against them? No it's called a PREFERENCE!
The difference is that you and I and I can make our choices privately. This lady and others do it publicly so as not to waste anyone's time and I applaud them for it. There are lady's that post that they don't see older guys and I just move on. There is no way I would want an intimate encounter with someone was repulsed by me or scared that something bad may happen. Kind of a mood killer IMHO.
Calling someone ignorant is pretty asinine considering you don't know that they are racist. The lady that posted this said she had a bad experience with an AA man and seems concerned that it would happen again. I don't know what happened and neither do you, but it was enough to make her establish this policy and that should be good enough for anyone.
Long live freedom of choice!
