A. Seales:I want to be with a brotha but a lot of you would rather be by yourselves. Why not commit?

Whenever someone says something like this male or female, I'm very curious anout what their requirements are and who they're last few relationships were with. Alot of people wilm tell you one thing but their actions will paint a completely different picture.

Stopped reading here.
Go see a counselor and dating coach. You talk to bum ass nikkas, nobody to blame but YOU!

BTW- you can be a bum and still make 6 figures
I know that. I'm saying these are the type of men that claim they are "good" and unable to find "good" women. You're not really all that good.

Ya'll are no better though. You want "perfection" when you're riddled with flaws. The funny part is black men have THE SAME issue with each that black women have, we just see it from different perspectives.

I've seen dudes my age with no retirement, no savings, no life insurance, a bunch a kids, that he buys a bunch of jordans for, but you can't tell them they aren't father of the year. Even a corporate dude I know 6 certs, 6 figures, 6+ ft, BROKE as fukk. No health insurance. "Scared of the dentist". New truck though! You all will bring this mess into a woman's life and swear you're doing something. Laundry smells like mildew. "you separate the colors?" looking asses. Debt out your ass...at BEST BUY. Renting ass "I might move, I don't want to buy" aka commit. Ya'll just do the least.
The type of man you described be the type that makes womens p*ssy tingle though.

Women be wanting a dude with money a career, got his shyt together and got swag...

Compromise has to be met somewhere.

I don’t really follow her and I ain’t watch the video, but that quote is true to life with what I’m dealing with right now. Then I can also look at one of my homies from college who let a good relationship/woman go because of this. Not sure what the issue is with this generation but I’m about to go white :manny:

My point exactly! We are equally to blame. A lot of our standards needs to be readjusted. My friend met a really great guy, 6 figures and the whole nine, but he has a lot of issues. She has a lot of issues. They are going to counseling and they talk through stuff and it's so refreshing to see.

You messing with bum ass nikkas lol. Black men who have their shyt together get married everyday. If you can’t find a man to settle down with by age 30 you suck at dating. It’s your environment sis. If all you know is bums and date is bums them you probably a bum yourself. I know a brother who is in PA school and he has been dating his girl for 5 years. And he told me he gonna marry her once his career takes off. So this myth that black men don’t want to commit is a myth to cover up your turrible dating history.

If you want to be married and have children ANY time soon, that's your best bet. A black man wants AT LEAST 5 years. You know it! I know it sounds bad, but I see it too often. Maybe bi-racial, but grew up on his white family's side.

The average American doesn't even have all those things sooooo It's just to make a point, that he needs to get his shyt together but looking for "perfect" women.

That's what u really want.

I'm sure you can find a brotha out there to marry.

Matter of fact Amanda know what she doin. She ain’t dumb.

She’s pre-emptively putting out these little bullshyt potshots at black men so that when she inevitably pops up with a white man ala Serena she has a built in narrative she can fall back on....

I can just SEE it now

2021
“Bu bu but... I WANTED a black man! I got love for my brothas, Black men just don’t want to commit! NONE of these black men out here want a wife and family! Every single one of them wanna go to the club, smoke weed, and be fukk buddies! I couldn’t allow my physical chakra to be continually drained in such a manner. So I went on retreat in the Caucus mountains and my earth bound spirit animal spoke to me and told me it was time to ditch Jamal and find me a Jason:damn:


2023

“My debut novel ‘Black Men Are The White Men Of The Black Community: Just With Worse Credit!’ Will be in stores this Sunday! It has already been given a 4 star review from The New York Times which called it “Bold, Edgy, Witty, and Uncomfortably Closer to truth than fiction”. It is a fictional account of my life, times, and trials trying to find love and acceptance in the black community. As a light skinned woman of color, my struggle and pain has been continually deafened and buried by the very race of men I once fiercely championed. It is a story of the fall. The rise. And the redeemed. It is the story of every black woman living in America. It is my truth. Special thanks goes out to my Husband Jason Jacobs, who supported me through everything. We playing Mammy Betty and Master Charles tonight boo!”


2027

Via Instagram (as presented by BET Voice)
“ I am very happy to announce my new talk show, Amazing Amanda, has been picked up by the new Viacom streaming service! Debuting next year, Amazing Amanda will be a show geared towards black women in America who need a voice to champion their struggles! We will discuss Toxic Black Masculinity, the dangers of Raising black babies in a traditional patriarchy where the black man’s word goes unchallenged, and why Michelle Obama would have made a better President than Both Barack and Bill Clinton (still love you boo!) combined! Its a little Oprah! A little Dr Phil! And a WHOLE LOT OF ATTITUDE!
