Marriage rates are collapsing for lower income and middle income families

[MikelArteta]

Cuz they focus on money and careers.

They ignore that men don’t see women as marriage material if she:

Is fat or out of shape
Has kids
Is mentally unhealthy
Is a hoe or had abortions
Is entitled
Has a bad attitude
Is outside of her mid to late 20s


And that’s damn near every woman looking to get married

exactly many of these high career earning good looking women are entitled with aggressive bossy demeanours with sh:tty attitudes I know because I’ve been out on numerous dates with women who fall into that category

and yes there are some good quality humble women out there that are attractive etc but it’s few and far between

I don’t understand how folks are saying they will live together but not marry because it’s expensive. I got married at city hall for $125.

Just to throw it out there I have wondered if Black people, especially on the higher education and income end, would benefit from formal matchmaking like they did when I lived in Asia. Not online dating but professional (mostly women) that have dossiers and profiles of paying customers that they match up based on compatibility.

Breh, all the Indians and West Africans I went to grad school with had these type of match making events. By the time they graduated they were married.

Imagine being a breh who’s saving and investing and getting paid. Who’s building up assets and moving up in life. The more you have the more power she gains over you. And a relationship where the woman has all the power is a toxic one.

That’s not a power I’d EVER put in a woman’s hands

You have to understand where a woman’s power lies. Once you do, you won’t be scared of them.

Someone could definitely do well providing that service.

It still doesn't solve the problem of women wanting men with a certain economic status they don't meet

I think the conflict lies in that women in general are becoming more educated than men. Universities tend to be majority female .With black women it's even more pronounced.

It's rough

It’s 2020 even ugly old broads think they are the prize

High rent costs, high student debt. Like c'mon wtf do you expect?

Boomers had it good

That is it in a nutshell.

The generational gap is a gap for a reason. Different enviornment produces different experiences.

Boomers had it really, really good

BM & BD aren't making families. It's making broken families.

We need to go back to old ways. Ridiculing ppl having kids out of marriage.

It worked in the past.

2 things going on....

Women don’t want to get married(their choice) and the environment isn’t good for it.

 

[HARLEM AL]

Women are looking and waiting for a better deal every time.

This to. Good luck with that.

Marriage is dead and it’s because society (parents) failed the youth.

 

[desjardins]

Will be interesting to see what impact this has on household wealth
Almost every economic metric is better among married couples

This but I feel it’s the enemy putting stuff in my head about this sole woman I want to be in a relationship with in the future. Definitely not right now. She says she just don’t want to be in a relationship and wanna focus on getting her money right. Well, who says you can’t do that in a relationship? A relationship worth it’s weight in gold would support and nurture that. I prayed on and God told me she is the one but not right now. Patience is definitely a weakness I’m combating. I never been truly battle tested in regards to a woman.

Which is why I've checked out of the dating game. If you haven't locked down your girl when y'all were in high school, high chance the women you meet after you graduate college is a hoe. I'd rather be single than date a bytch that's sucked a lot of dikk and had many dikks inside her.

If you go in with that attitude, you have no chance of finding a wife...
