“I’m not worried about 50/50 convos because…”

Financial literacy is sorely lacking in black communities

They literally mean 50/50 when they say it, otherwise it's not 50/50 lol. And I also don't like the term equally when it comes to money, because it's never equal in terms of household chores, pregnancy, childbirth, or childrearing. Provider men understand this, in my experience, which is why they don't have these petty discussions. And plenty of AA men are providers.

lol nah 50/50 just became a phrase to mean both persons contributing as much as they can to the household or in equal proportion to their income. Of course, a person making 50k won't be able to contribute the same amount as a partner making 150K. But overall the exact 50/50 shyt came from dudes wanting dates to pay the same amount or what they ate. marriage-minded men are thinking differently.

It’s 2023. Most families need two incomes to keep their household going. Doesn’t matter the race or religion.

Some of these women have dreams about working and keeping all of the money they make for themselves. Very few will actually have that luxury.

This.

Damn. I don't believe in 50/50 either but I ain't here for them slandering AA men. What do I do?

Support black male patriarchy and black male power. 50/50 would be a thing of the past.

I fully support both. I meant with regard to the op.

i have never seen "50/50" in the real world on anything;



not on bills, nor paying for a date.

Being a feminist and wanting to be financially independent Wanting to be in a transactional relationship, he'll treat you how he wants to because he buys you by funding your life style.
Wanting a man who is empathetic, collaborative, and even tempered Wanting a man who will be dominant and make all the decisions but then he'll tell you to shut the fukk up or put hands on you if you upset him.
Wanting a good man who is self sufficient and committed to a long relationship a good looking man who only brings toxicity and unpredictability to the table, but he looks good on all your pictures and all your friends compliment you on how good of a choice you made. They don't know him.

Until a woman can resolve these contradictions in her desires, every relationship she tries to get into is destined to fail.

Contradictions like those, is why I coined the term "Tupac in a Business Suit"

A unicorn of a man that doesn't exist.

These women would do that and make their children starve, so that they can stack to buy the Birkin bag
