He usually posts one woman from the IG shows on YouTube. He usually speaks to 3-4 women on the IG lives. The ones he usually posts on YouTube are the women who are really outrageous or the ones that seem really positive and will make him/his content look good overall.

I prefer the IG shows because they're shorter and he rarely does the sound effects but now he uses them a lot but not as much as the YouTube shows. He also gets to the point quicker than to talk about candles, cologne, etc for twenty minutes and no money world or song intermission.

What’s the real number?

Looking at national income data isn't going to provide enough context given the geographic costs of living differences, and so looking at income in context with metro is more appropriate--Pew's income calculator helps you do that.

On a national scale it depends on what you are using as the range of income in defining "middle class", Pew's range is $45k-135k and Brookings range is $22k-125k. But the issue is that such a wide range in income doesn't take into adequate consideration the wide gap in what a person making $45k has access to vs someone whose making $135k in the same metro.

And so, Kevin stating that 50% of Black men are in the middle class doesn't mean much considering the costs of living in the areas where most Black people live. Especially if his starting point is 30k and Black male median income even in high COL cities isn't much higher than the national average.

100k doesn't mean much in these places either. Even though that puts you in the >85tile...

Saying that to say MOST PEOPLE are broke.

nikka you just said nothing. His point and the point you failed to refute is that there are plenty of solid marriageable men out there for a woman to partner with. But she's going to have to take her ass to work. But the fact that she has to work doesn't give her license to not treat her man like a MAN just because he isn't a six figure earner. It doesn't give her license to shyt on having a comfortable, reliable life because IG and other SM platforms are selling the idea she should have "more.

No dumbass, the point is that the numbers can't tell you much of anything and so he could make his point about marriageable men without bringing up shaky ass stats.

It's still sad how women are still operating on the whole "I can turn it on for the right man" thought process, like the flip of a switch.

I compare it to going into an interview, and the whole week you like, "man I got this, I know what to say, I'll turn it on when I go in on Monday" and you haven't practiced for 5 mins. Then when you sit down face you face you sweating bullets like: :merchant:

Same thing with women, they don't realize they can bump into a man they're interested in at any moment and you can't just flip a switch. That's why so many of them fumble the opportunity, or they don't realize what they have to do to compete for a man against other women.

As a man, I'm on game 24/7. Always working on myself, making sure I give off the right energy in social settings, etc etc. It's not like I say, "let me show up to this event looking like a bum and I'll turn it on when I get there if I meet the right woman."

Kevin said it a while ago, lots of women are simply game goofy and that's why they continue to lose.
