[myBlackisGodly]

A lot of people in society today are selfish and want everything now. We live in a microwave society. Too many people give up easily the moment they hit a bump on the road. If my mans feet smelled that bad I would offer to wash it. I sometimes wash family members and friends feet. I know how to do pedicures .That's not a reason for an argument especially if his feet is helping pay the bills.

You're a pretty good new poster. Keep up the intriguing posts.

I mean, not specifically a post about washing stank feet... but you know what I mean.

Women bring nothing but p*ssy. Of course we settle.

you gotta stop dealing with useless thots breh. There are women out there who bring some good things to the table

 

[HALLOWEEN]

and who do you think these men are settling with? Other men?

 

[live it to the limit]

Women settle more but they do a good job of keeping that fact under wraps. They are more likely to settle just based on the fact that most women are not proactive and only pick from what comes to them. So if only scrub dudes approach a girl for a full year, odds are that she'll probably cave in to one of them.

Meanwhile dudes are always trying to punch above their weight class, even when unrealistic. It's just the way the game is.

Thissssss. Women will settle when we get scared that nothing else better will come along and by this time we've given up on some of our pet peeves when it comes to relationships. Men can play around until their 40s and still expect to have kids, an attractive mate, a woman with no kids, etc. women can't do that. So it's like yeah, dude has no personality, isn't funny, never gets a haircut but he has a job with decent benefits, no kids and I don't have to fukk him with my eyes closed. I might as well settle because I want kids and a decent home environment. Realistically that attractive black doctor that doesn't cheat, handsome, can hold a conversation and has good father potential is a unicorn. Women figure this shyt out in college. By the time you hit your late 20s you just focus on who likes you back.

Only some women....there are legit women who wait until 35 searching for Brad Pitt or Idris Elba.

Absolutely.

The difference is women will typically have to settle for "less than ideal"

while men settle for "less than average"

Men settle too but women settle far more because they have far higher expectations

Want a quick example? Just look at womens dating standards as they age

Women age 16-21
Wants a prince or baller or celebrety.
He has to have lots of money.
Cant be balding.
Good looking.
Not an inch under 6'4"
Every woman must want him but he must be loyal to her and her only

Women 22-28
HE must have personality
Dress well and smell good
She prefers he be 6'4" but willl take 6'2" if she has to
Must have a job good job
He cannot have children yet

Women 29-35
All the sudden she's okay with a bald head
As long as he has a job
As long as he's taller than her in heels of course.
As long as he doesnt have multiple baby mamas

Women 36-45
As long as she loves him
All the sudden nerds/smart men who lack personality are fine
And she dont care what her friends think of him anymore as long as hes paying the bills and aint cheating

which leads to what this nikkas was saying

Absolutely.

I think that's part of the question though.

If a 5'2 185 pound single mother of two, benchmark is to have a man that is the 6 feet, 6 figures, 6 pack prototype, but she has to deal with Joe who is a manager at Walmart and they both make comparable salaries did she really settle?

Yeah Joe didn't meet her benchmarks, but her benchmarks are completely unrealistic to begin with. Are we really going to throw her in the settled category because of that?

You gotta look like an exotical video model for men to wife you up.

every old head i know has told me don't wife a video vixen the headaches that will come will be insurmountable

I think so. I know a guy that wanted a chick that looked like Mariah Carey but settled for a Mexican instead. He was single and childless but wanted children. She already had 3 children and had her tubes tied. She said she would have them untied after they got married. After they got married she decided she didn't want to get her tubes untied so he will never have any children unless he steps outside of his marriage. On top of that, her children who are grown now (one married) always keep ending up back living in the house. Also her family (which is huge) is always over their home. He literally hides in this garage to get away from them. His life sucks. He always says he should have married a black girl. He says is ALL the time.

I have a millon stories of how man settle but very few on how women settle. It's probably b/c when looking for a life long partner women's main interest isn't usually looks or sex.

Personality wise? Yea

Looks wise? No

Ultimately who's fault is this

Women refuse to approach men

Play hard to get


Play mind games


Set unrealistic expectations


Then get 40 years old and complain and essentially blame men

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

hard to say who settles more but I was talking to some homegirls and they told me that once girls get close to 30 that biological clock starts to pop in their mind a lot, especially if their friends are starting a family. i even had a friend mention that she was hoping to have a family already, she's 31.
