Of course it ain't the 50s. But let's not pretend marriage isn't down because of women. Y'all standards are crazy. A man making $100,000 would take in a woman who works at TGI Fridays, tell her to go to school, buy her a car, pay off her loans, etc. Doctors and Gangstas buying everything you want. Now tell me, is a woman doing that? Hell naw:mjlol: Dude making $65,000, but y'all telling him he needs to step it up and work harder so you can spend it on more worthless things keeping up with the joneses:hhh:


But If you want to know, I'm as equal as they come. I do wish both sexes could get along better:yeshrug:
I actually agree. Me thinking men are idiots doesn’t mean I think women are any smarter.:mjlol:Usually this is where I veer off into Pick me territory.

Men have played their role in completely fukking up the institution. And women can’t run from their fukk ups either.

Some chicks literally define a good life as living like them bytches on Real Housewives or some shyt.
Unrealistic standards doesn’t even BEGIN to define their idiocy. Many are saddled with debt from addiction to consumerism and have $0 assets while comically insulting a dude with a legit 401k as not enough.
If I had a dikk I wouldn’t touch some of these chicks with a 9ft pole b/c they just as toxic as the dudes they yap about.

Men have to be willing to see women not as something to govern or as children, but as human partners and understand that viewing someone as intrinsically inferior won’t sustain a lasting successful relationship in an age where u can’t economically or physically force women to put up with that.

Women gotta grow the fukk up and take advantage of the opportunities afforded to them while understanding that perpetual victim hood just won’t cut it in the age of equality they allegedly wanted.

:yeshrug:Natural selection dictates that those who understand this simple shyt will go on to create healthy, lasting bonds and raise children or see the end of their bloodlines with them dying by themselves or producing offspring in hellish conditions where they die off early anyway.

Men and women will evolve or die.

I’m speaking on individual relationships. Back men and women are mistreating one another to say the least and it’s causing serious breakdowns in communication and development of the associations needed to thrive together. Women are less dedicated to men and men are less dedicated to their families and overall responsibilities.


Please it deeper than this ....but you do know no matter what the black male will be at fault right ...you do know that right ?

What’s long enough?

Depends on the couple but long enough where you've gotten past the honeymoon phase. My wife and I got past the lovebird phase, the 7-year itch phase (even had an open relationship on both ends...lots of fun but reinforced why we love each other) and don't really argue because we've worked through all the areas where couples tend to disagree (finances, house work etc).

Truthfully speaking I don't have any issues with black women, I just separate myself from the fukkery. If they want to make it harder on themselves, then that's on them. Money doesn't make you a better person, and making more won't make you a better person. I'm not about to break my back just to buy more material possessions. If anything I'd rather be my own boss

You have made multiple threads complaining about your salary, how much you hate your job, and how you want to make more money to buy a specific car though, which is a material possession.

In any case your fixation on salary being a barrier to bw getting married, is partially a result of your own personal issue with your salary and your career—your projecting. You want to make more $ and if you did make more than $65,000 as opposed to the $17 an hour you make currently, I’m sure you wouldn’t find that requirement as problematic.


Most women, regardless of their race, prefer men that make the same or more than them. It is not an issue that is solely found in bw.

the issue is that there are less bm making Six figure salaries, let alone salaries that can support families compared to wm or Asian men , so it isn’t as realistic for the average bw to rule out men that aren’t making six figure salaries, like ww and Asian women do, especially if they truly want to be married and have children with a bm.

Are you still in an open relationship?

This is deep it not surface as to why black men are behind in a lot of categories. It many things that go into it. I'll address it later thoe much later.

I, personally, don’t wanna date anyone for 7 years. That’s why I’m a proponent of having the tough conversations early in the dating stage. The one for me will take heed to it and the others will eliminate themselves.

Why did you turn down the proposals? Were they both long time relationships? Did anyone of those men ever get sexual access to you? Just curious
One was when I was much younger and I was a virgin at the time, so the first one didn’t have sexual access to me and we dated for nine months. He was also from another race. So cultural incompatibility was a no-go for me.

It’s hilarious when I think about it b/c I said no to that initial relationship with a Japanese man for the same reasons I keep telling people many women dread marriage about. First off, Japan is a VERY patriarchal country.
When I lived there ten years ago, the dude I dated was going bonkers over the fact I was a virgin. But beyond that what was more problematic for me was the stress I would overhear most Japanese wives undergoing. So all the shyt I’ve been telling ya’ll about with women in marriage
1.) They working full time.
2.) Taking care of the children with little help from the dudes.
3.) Cooking AND Cleaning
4.) Husbands cheating is culturally sanctioned
5.) Then u have to take care of HIS parents eventually while forsaking ur own family.

Allllladat plus for me the racial L, learning a new language...Personally, I will hang out and go to dinner with just about anybody, but there’s a LOT for me as a female to consider racially b4 I ever think about having a child with a dude of another race.

So basically being married to that would have been like the shyt one of my great aunts dealt with in the 60s in a different language.
Seriously? Why?! Give me a reason other than “u gon be lonely” or I’m living in a 3rd world country as to why I would wait on a grown ass human man hand and foot, work 40hrs a week, wash the skidmarks out of his drawers, cook, take care of the children AND overlook him disrespecting me and cheating on me...and possibly not even get my own sexual needs met?! While he thinks I’m inferior to him...

For real for real?!

Second proposal was from my ex who was great when I was a depressed teacher eating and drinking my way into an early grave, but became a complete dikk when I turned it around, got healthier and got accepted to a PhD program. Can’t love somebody out of their insecurities and he was determined to make me the enemy in an emotionally preemptive strike b/c he felt like I was gon leave him or some shyt like that. Keep in mind, I was Suzie fukkin homemaker. Cooked EVERY meal. He came home to the cleanest crib b/c I can’t live in filth. But I think that shyt made him even more insecure b/c he would always try an insult me on some “u too goody, goody” type shyt. Glad I said no b/c he married an ex but still calls me talking about missing me.

That’s marriage for ya! I praise God b/c I missed two bullets and I would have been the real man-hating bytch a lotta these posters think I am, if I didn’t have the discernment and backbone to say “HARD PASS” just b/c society pushes u to get with anybody just to say u got somebody. Now I’m just taking it nice and slow with a great dude I’m friends with and just enjoying the companionship. No pressure, no stress, not even fukking. Just 4am talks under the stars and learning from each other.

Happiest I’ve ever been.:wub:

I don't complain about my job, I complain about coming in 5 days a week which everyone doesn't like. I'm not worried about money, in this field it'll come soon enough. As far as material possessions, some people don't know how to balance that aspect so you can't wag your finger at me for wanting a car because at the end of the day I'm not living pay check to pay check or breaking my back for that car

None of that has to do with what the thread pertains to and I didn't mention black women in any of my posts. The title states that women don't want to marry a man who makes less than them, meanwhile a Male Doctor/Engineer/Store manager will marry a woman working at Starbucks. I'm not projecting anything, just repeating what's being told:mjgrin: It's dudes out there making $50,000 and women telling them they need to step it up:mjlol:

If a woman who makes a large sum only wants marry a man of equal income, that's fine, but don't complain when it's hard to find a man. The average household income for WHITEs is $65,000, keyword: household, so they not even making it like that. This fixation on $100,000 is silly, a lot of people ain't making that and if they are it's in a high COL area.
