I actually edited that post and it explained why I’m
In a relationship. I love consistent std free dikk from someone who cares about me. I like love and companionship. But I don’t want to live with a man. I like my space looking the way I want, I like having privacy, freedom in my own place, etc.

So just FWB status eternally. so you plan to do this until death, assuming after a certain point men will find you as a suitable option opposed to a woman younger than you?

I still find it crazy that folks got clowned for dating online in the early days and now its the norm.

Times be changing.

Breh I remember the reactions I would get when I said I met women online, now I'm considered odd for not meeting women online, times really have changed.

Im looking at this chart and by this chart men are not even cracking the 1000k mark which would make it more significant. But ill let you have that just to have a decent convo in good faith.

A single man making 50k with no kids or wife to support
A married man who makes 80-85K has to provide for him and his wife. if they have kids, even worst(not that having a child is bad. kids just add more debt to the household) along with her debt.

I'm not seeing the significant advantage that would make it beneficial for these young dudes.

If you told me a married man was making a 100k more then it would be more attractive to these young dudes.

It's also hard to compare because married men can include dudes age 22 up to men in their 50s and 60s. With the average age of one's first marriage going up, even the youngest married men are going to be in their late 20s.

Middle aged men are more likely to be married and probably making more money than a young breh.

Broke men are less likely to get married anyway.

We basically need to compare men in the same age group, married vs unmarried: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54 and 55+

A lot of Americans are a paycheck away from being broke. A lot of Americans have a lot of debt. Single women do tend to spend a lot more as a demographic though—no argument there. Look at it this way, at least it won’t just be old woman dying alone as cat ladies—men will too, except with maybe dogs(because it’s kind of weird for a man to have a lot of cats). It’s somewhat sad as I believe most people desire companionship and love. If there’s anyone in STEM and robotics that wants to build robot companions for lonely singles, it’s about to be a good hussle.

Not sure what you mean about doing my thing—i am in a relationship. I like love and dikk.

Do I value marriage? Not particularly. But I know this is official evidence that the institution of marriage like many things in this country is now becoming a thing for those with money. The system will crash soon enough when people wake up. In the mean time expect to continue seeing this happen across many areas of our society that used to be attainable for middle and working class folk to achieve. Not much you can do but focus on getting what you want out of life—that and sit back and watch our society morph into another Japan.
Its crazy because if anything poor ppl should be cohabitation more

Seems like you’ve been an ignorant bytch who ran away from FACTS to try and post irrelevant shyt when I pulled your bytch card.
If you’d just read more, bytch less…you wouldn’t have to look stupid.

Damn you going out sad.
And lol!
I’ve always been sweet but savage when tried.

That was one of my favorite memories. He learned that day!

You are a c*nt, through and through. You were no raised right and your story reflects poorly on your father.

No the award for sanctimonious smart/dumb nikka sticking your nose into shyt that you loud and wrong about goes to you. A parent and I were having a very good conversation and your silly ass just couldn’t wait to rudely inject like anything you had to say was worth a damn. :mjlol:And stop turning everything into a damn blk man victim story to garner male solidarity support for your lameness.
:stopitslime:
Because I gave several examples of blk young adult men AND women doing the take advantage of parents shyt which I don’t agree with. I talked about my life to highlight that what I did personally wasnt special, but was the result of programs our sorry ass government has gutted which, along with the economy is part of the reason we are in this bind. But the answer isn’t to encourage young blk people to stay at home where resources are ALREADY strained you fukkin idiot, and partake in a parasite culture where grown black adults live into perpetuity with older generations of blks. We don’t have a culture in America to support that lifestyle and never have. So taking other cultural norms and blindly applying them to our own won’t work. That’s how you get mom and dad working three jobs to make ends meet for an American raised boy OR girl who becomes a entitled freeloader.

And by the way, you loud and wrong idiot, they’ve done several longitudinal studies TRACKING how successful the whole “stay at home until you get on your feet” bullshyt is and it actually RETARDS adults ability to launch beyond the home instead of helping them.
So let’s dead that shyt real quick

https://www.urban.org/sites/default...oung_adults_living_in_parents_basements_0.pdf
First off we already ARE doing this and it’s not helping.

“Although Asians and Hispanics are commonly perceived as more likely to live with their parents, black young adults live with their parents at the highest rates, which may be because of the lower incomes of black young adults, on average, compared with other racial and ethnic groups.”


Secondly, several flawed hypotheses were tested including erroneous claims such as “staying at home Will help young adults save money” or “give them a headstart”.

In reality,
“Those who lived with their parents at ages 25 to 34 were the least likely to be homeowners 10 years later.”

They ran a regression analysis of multiple variables on a data set of individuals they’d been tracking longitudinally for decades.
And here’s what they found:

“We find that those who were renters and owners are still significantly more likely to be head of a household 10 years later than those who lived with their parents.”

“While 25-to-34-year-olds who live with their parents are less likely to be a head of a household and are less likely to own a house after 10 years, maybe those who do become homeowners have the financial ability to buy a more expensive house or put more down using the money saved from staying with their parents. However, median house values are not significantly different across the three groups (figure 17). In fact, those who lived with their parents have slightly lower home values than those who owned or rented 10 years ago. Those who lived with their parents have lower mortgage debt than those who rented, but the $6,200 difference is close to the $5,500 difference in median house values. On the other hand, those who were homeowners 10 years ago have the smallest amount of mortgage debt, as they have had more time to pay it back. These results hold even after including the control variables in the regression below.

SOOOOO, instead of uselessly trying to gain internet brownie points with other lames who don’t like Booksnrain with infantile ass talking points, fukking read and take the hoemotion out of your responses before you engage me.

This is the third time across several threads where you lost damn script trying to engage with me only to look like a try-hard buffoon.

Boy bye.

You brought an anecdote to the story, one that continues you trend of throwing shade on black men and serves as an example of you trying to stand in the way of support a black man was receiving.

You behaved as though you were some person who profited from a lack of support after turning 18. When pressed, you brought up the government programs that were available to you at the time.

Here is a question for you, if the government initiatives get cut, who is going to provide the next set of people coming up with support?

Moreover, how am I wrong when I haven't drawn a comparison between the success of people who stay at home and the success of people who move out young?

Although you are dishonest conclusions, which is about what I would expect from you. There are other variables: support someone received when moving out, support someone received when purchasing their first home.

Quit with the motherfukking respectability politics and thinly veiled “black people are lazy” “millennials entitled” rhetoric. This shyt is simply the result of a systemic problem that has shut black people out of the economy and reduced our total wealth to zero.

Coming from an actual black man with a college degree - these jobs aren’t fukking hiring. I put in hundreds of applications. Go fukk your self, this system is rigged.

No one gives a fukk about your “I had a 4.1 gpa and worked two jobs” having ass. You should have the fukking integrity to actually point out how this system is unequal and there are MASSIVE barriers in place for black people to actually succeed and build wealth. Argue with the statistics.

Be happy we’re still alive in this bytch and not going crazy.

Facts. These fukking black neoliberals don’t give a fukk tho. Respectability ass negroes.

They’re one bad medical bill and firing away from the poor house. Mfers think shyt is sweet until they see this system implode on itself.

Income inequality is crazy along with the cost of living literally out of control.

the reason your argument is flawed is because the internet was still niche during those times. People still considered the internet a different reality from the real
World thus it was a niche group of folks partaking in this stuff thus it being “popping”. 10 yrs ago Tinder had way less users yet was more “popping” because everyone was there on the same page (to hookup) now its a cesspool
Get out of your computer, get i the US or abroad.
The general population is more stable married than single. In every country.

Besides Broke Men Babble i ain't see any solution. Just whining and whining.
In 10 year it will be worse for you.

That's not happening. Whites know what's happening and they double down to make sure your plan doesn't happen. Go to LSA. Does it look like they want marriages with BM much less arraigned. The only reason why it happened in the past was America needed the workforce. Now they don't need us unless it's for prison or their entertainment.

Just someone who claims to be well read, you need to learn your enemy. They don't have these visions for us

It was not White people that set up those arrange marriages. It was Black families that set up those arranged marriages. It usually happened when the girl's family found out that she was sexually active with a boy. The girl's family usually forced the marriage, because everybody knew what was going to eventually happen if the kids kept having sex.

This goes to a bigger issue though. Just 40 years ago the Black community frowned upon women walking around pregnant if she was not married. Then that shacking up shyt started and that opened pandora's box on women heading single family households. It has been an all around disaster and created an permanent underclass of women and children in our society that can never leave the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder. It is sad.
