That night in the taxi, Mr. Ibrahim sized up Mr. Benedict in the rearview mirror and determined he was boyfriend material. "He was wearing a suit and wasn't drunk," says Mr. Ibrahim. - dakbonsa, on 07/06/2008, -0/+26"His client list includes 900 single New Yorkers -- including this reporter, who's been set up twice by Mr. Ibrahim."
Somehow, this sentence makes me wonder if there's a motive behind writing this article... - DangerCollie, on 07/06/2008, -1/+23Glad that guy isn't my investment broker.
- Rikkochet, on 07/06/2008, -0/+22This is the first fluff story I've read that made me say "awesome". Good on him - one of his rich clients should give the guy a new computer for his trouble.
- muniak, on 07/06/2008, -0/+17There is going to be a movie about this one day.
- Rikkochet, on 07/06/2008, -3/+14Awesome story! I especially love how it had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE AT ALL!
- jaykaywhy, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8Most likely starring Will Smith
- RusskiGuy, on 07/06/2008, -0/+7That's pretty misplaced. It's not like he's quitting the job or even makes any money from helping people... It's just a hobby.
- NavS, on 07/06/2008, -0/+7The other 899 singles aren't reporters?
- muniak, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6RTFA?

- darkane, on 07/06/2008, -0/+4Honestly, who names their child Tabber? I'd understand if it was a nickname for a Tabatha. But it's a dude.
- tpfaff, on 07/06/2008, -0/+4It better be starring Will Smith
- Rodalli, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4Seriously, if this is all it takes to impress this taxi driver, I could be a ***** 10. Time to move to NYC?
- crackerjack20, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4What a horribly written article. It's an interesting story, but I have to read each paragraph 3 times before it makes sense.
- adamawick, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3FTA: When she Googled the name of another candidate, she was freaked out to find the man's wedding photos online, as well as a trail of postings about his messy divorce. ("My ex-wife got a boob job with the $$ she got from selling her wedding ring," read one.)
You, too can Google this and find out who actually said that! I couldn't find his wedding pictures, though. - luet, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4so instead of having sex with her you whined about obama? you FOOL!
- Heoo, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Reminds me of this prank:

- Mpwns, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1anyone else think the cab driver was gay half-way in?
- ChileanGoD, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1I like his strategy, just go for pure probability.
- IRPro, on 07/06/2008, -3/+4Pay Attn:
From the TITLE:
"...100's of awkward first dates..." - holyskeleton, on 07/06/2008, -2/+3"Mr. Ibrahim first got the idea for his dating service when a tearful young woman climbed into his cab and suggested Mr. Ibrahim find her a new boyfriend. Mr. Ibrahim loved the idea and started setting up other passengers on blind dates, too."
if a random cab driver can get you a better boyfriend, it usually proves something. *cough* dumb *cough* - swicklund, on 07/06/2008, -4/+4Four years, hundreds of match-ups and one, ONE engagement?
Weak. Stick to driving cabs. - jenasaurus7, on 07/06/2008, -0/+0Interesting... I just don't think I would let myself be hooked up by someone driving a cab.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -6/+1And I thought I had a run of bad luck.
- Lawrencesss, on 07/06/2008, -12/+7Is it just me, or is this story so poorly written it is hard to follow the chain of events?
- Xihix, on 07/06/2008, -17/+10You wanna know why Ahmed had so much trouble with so many woman?
Woman: So, whats your name?
Ahmed: Ahmed
Woman: lolwut - IRPro, on 07/06/2008, -18/+5You Digg'rs will get a kick out of this (if you know me, you'll know I am what you guys label a NeoCon)
I met a girl today over at Disneyland, we talked but because I was with my Daughter, couldn't really..you know..get our groove on.. So we made plans to meet later tonight at her hotel room (I literally JUST got home from this!)
So I go there, first to the wrong hotel on the opposite side of the city of Anaslime (Anaheim), then finally we get it right and sit there and gab together for about 40 minutes.. turns out..she is some hard core "Digg" liberal.. mannnn did we ever have it out.
I swear, it felt like we were married! It was ugly...her berating McCain, me berating Obama.. just like on Digg except she was close enough to hit me.
Funny thing of this whole mess was... she kept saying us Republicans are racist for not wanting Obama...yet she is black... and I'm white.
Go figure.
