Do ya'll find most educated career women kind of boring and lame?

[Stuntone]

They tend to lose themselves and try to be what they think they should be instead of who they actually want to be.

Real talk, you can lose yourself trying to chase this American dream.

Some dudes lose themselves as well. All of a sudden dive pubs and wells liquor don't cut it, they're only drinking premium...

Funny part is these "corporate" people arent even making major figgas. And they black ass is damm sure not moving up no mothafukkin corporate ladder

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

not boring, just always driven and defined by their work. which isn't a bad thing if their work is actually something interesting...

I have no problem with their accomplishments and would actually encourage it.

My only beef with a lot of them (and I'm talking from experience) is that they seem to think that having a degree and a high paying job is somehow a prerequisite to being a 'good woman' ie a suitable candidate for a relationship. I don't know why they think that way.

Most brothas would rather have a 'good woman' who works as a cashier in a supermarket than some wannabe sex in the city type chick who thinks she's god's gift to the world.

The hell it is

real talk, I would bang a cashier at a supermarket, but I damn sure wouldn't be bringing her home to mama. She'd be disappointed in my choice, and frankly, I know I could do better.

I can't really cosign this thread with ya'll. I actually like going to wine tastings and trying out new restaurants. Never was the the dominoes playing/black people house party type and it's not because I'm a c00n. I just never grew up in that kind of an environment. Admittedly, most black women outside of the corporate setting find me boring and stiff.

Damn if you do and damn if you don't.....lol

If you find a woman boring, it's because you're boring. I find ways to make most women interesting and they love it

I know there are exceptions, but living in DC there are an abundance of educated career women and I've dated a lot of them. Usually when you meet them they immediately bring up their job, degree and travels. And a lot of time their whole life revolves around their career and trying to move up in the corporate world. I guess all of that is cool to a certain level. Myself, I'm professional and corporate at work, but when I'm off, I'm the same ol' G. I like to drink and talk sh:t. Play cards and dominoes. Usually when I hangout with a lot of these women they don’t want to do traditional black people stuff: bbq, houseparties, etc. They seem to want to distance themselves from our culture. They want to go skiing, and skydiving. That’s why when you go to really popular clubs in DC, most people aren’t dancing, people are just standing around being c00ns. A lot of these women feel they need to be corporate and professional at all times. That sh:t’s wack to me.

And when you date them seriously, all they want to do is try out new restaurants and wine tasting events. Maybe I'm too hood to cross all the way over to full time c00n.

That's such a turn-off. Alot of them have no identity or life apart from their job.

Although c00n is harsh to apply to them, i think alot of them just try too hard to be "different" from most black ppl.

Oh, and they only wanna listen to Kem albums or neo-soul b/c it's "grown". Nothing wrong with that stuff, but I wanna hear my Rick Ross some days.

education is not a substitute for intelligence

Underrated post right here.

I think that some women (and men) think that their career really defines who they are. I live in Brussels so I meet at lot of people from the EU institutions and most of them seem to really define themselves and others by their work, but I think it also comes from the fact that knowing people is really important in some fields, so they're always on their networking tip. So the first question people ask you is "What do you do" and if it isnt at a certain level they're like but every now and then you meet people and you go the whole evening without knowing where they work and where they studied and their grades and shyt. Some people may be insecure and "hide" behind their professional identity.

some of you guys sound jealous of successful women. i can only imagine the future of black people if the successful ones are deemed boring and must resort to IR if that is not their first choice. i hope the ones complaining about "boring" educated women aren't the same ones who complain about crazy gfs, ratchet women, and drama loving baby mamas.

 

[High Society]

You all have serious problems/hang-ups/insecurities.

Did a gentleman really just say he'd want a woman who works at a supermarket?

Not jealous at all, bcuz most of the time I make a lot more than they do. It's great to be success, but there are a lot more to life than your career and education.
