We met online at agelessmat e.c om a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

I am so proud of Tyler Perry. With all the bad talk , this man never stops. He just keeps going. Tyler really understands that the more people make bad comments about you the more God will bless you. Keep up the good work and I will always support you no matter what. God bless you son. Let no one stop you.

Denise your comment is so true, alot of people envy Tyler Perry including other Producers. My Daughter had an audition with John Singleton he told her he would use her in his next project if he could get a Green-Light from Hollywood but he said QUOTE "EVERYBODY SO CRAZY ABOUT THIS TYLER PERRY SHIT!!" so I'm with you keep on pushing Tyler because I wonder when he was sleeping in his car trying to get a break did any of the Producers try to reach out to him and help him out,now GOD'S got his back and Tyler is here to stay,,KEEP ON KEEPING ON TYLER :)

Denise: Who's making bad comments about Tyler other than Spike Lee. And that's probably because Spike is jealous of Tyler's success.

Oh Pink. There are sooo many black people who are angry with Tyler Perry over The House of Pain and Madea that I don't even discuss him with them.

I'm really looking forward to Tyler's new movie. I'm glad it's coming out in November because I thought it wasn't coming out until next year.

Where is the dark skinned girl represented? I mean dark skinned not deep brown. They are beautiful too, if not the most.

That was my very first thought. Where are the dark skined girls? We have been left out of so much I am thinking about doing things with just dark skined people so others can feel omited.
