If anything, poor people -- and especially Black people -- SHOULD get married more. 2 incomes are better than 1, particularly if you limit yourselves to one child, or at least wait until you're in a decent enough financial situation to start having kids.

These CACs did a great job though of destroying the Black family unit, locking up as many of the Black men as they could and excluding non-c00ns from mainstream society, and convincing all of the women that they're better off alone and "independent" so the government can "take care" of them instead of a brother. It's whatever though.

These current generations that are in the marriage age lane (millennials and Gen Z) need to sacrifice for the greater good of the race and just all link up together, whether you're in love with the person or not, and start building in groups again.

Im not trying to offend anyone but I gotta keep it real

Black men who are realistic about what level they’re on in terms of looks and money don’t really complain about the stuff that some of y’all be complaining about

90+ percent of the dudes complaining about “pookie and ray ray” are either trying to get black women who are out of their league, or they just don’t like black women so they use the pookie and ray ray shyt as a cop-out to date out

:hubie:

This is the point many seem to be missing in this thread. (I'd never date out, fukking is different. Again avoiding cacs regardless). If you have average looks and average money broads ain't checking for you until later. Y'all are mostly later 20s, or in ya 30s, but younger black men who get labeled lames, broke boys, boring aren't waiting it out anymore. Moreover, black men who don't have the "mainstream black masculine appeal" aren't waiting it out anymore either. Some brehs get black women from the jump, and other get them increasingly as they age. The latter segment is either dropping out altogether (not marrying) or dating out. (Either in the interim or permanently)

It's not as simple as pookie and ray-ray, even though the Coli and Black folk love to paint that narrative. You think Neil de Grasse Tyson in his prime was getting the same amount of sistas as Ghostface pre-Wu? You think Richard Jefferson without b-ball would get the same amount of black women as Kenyon Martin without b-ball? Those are drastic examples of "non mainstream black males", but you could throw in Grant Hills or Zions as without b-ball. I really don't know how much more concise I can be.

It's somewhat :mjpls:, but if we're going to act like it's not true then I guess we all in our Stevie Wonder bag.

I see Average looking black men with average money with black women all the time

the dudes who struggle are the below average to average looking men with average money who think they’re supposed to have the same women that the good looking dudes or the dudes with money (or the good looking dudes with money) get

the dudes who ain’t tryna get someone “above their level” seem to be doing fine from what I see

and the dudes who date out cuz they can’t get the black women they want usually end up with other race women who look worse than the black chicks they passed on :dead:

Your username is one of the things keeping a lot of these black women single. That is who they are looking for, and it rarely exists.
Some women man... most young women chase what other young women chase.

Above all, all women choose. It’s up to you as a single man to screen and filter out those who are less desirable.

Who is it not a priority for? We have biological urges. We try to satisfy them. Don't get fooled by the fact we have tried to rationalize these base instincts with words like love.

Maybe you're unique but most men don't desire having sex with just one woman for the rest of their lives. Marriage is simply a mechanism society has created to make men settle for that. I choose to follow my natural insticts rather than the constructs of society.

Haha... Love? I just said marriage is about sacrifice, not love. It’s for the selfless. Sex isn’t a priority for me man. I’m not Future or NBA Youngboy out here man. I hear you though.

Well I'll concede it might be regional, I'm in San Diego and young black couples exist but dating out is very much visible, and the expectations (due to a smaller black community as well as higher cost of living) are seemingly higher of average bm. You see regular to fine bw with either attractive bm or dating out.

I just find the ideas AGAINST marriage laughable. Most of them (in this forum) stem from insecurity... Like, realize that YOU personally might not be ready for it, or may not be marriage material. Don’t pick and choose narratives to demonstrate that the idea of marriage is flawed. It’s the people coming into it that are... If you have a hard time teaming up with an individual and finding common ground, that’s really on you

I agree with the bolded, I'd never advise another person to avoid marriage, if they asked my opinion on the concept I could only draw from my own perspective. The idea is gold, the execution is..... lacking. I think if divorce laws were evened out more men across demographics would give it a try, because ultimately outside of the ring and the ceremony no financial loss really.

If anything, poor people -- and especially Black people -- SHOULD get married more. 2 incomes are better than 1, particularly if you limit yourselves to one child, or at least wait until you're in a decent enough financial situation to start having kids.

While theoretically you're right, if folks can't vote/wear masks for the greater good I'm doubtful of the bolded's chances in real life. Moreover the country's main appeal is individualism through rights and their provided choices. I don't think most are willing to go back to shacking up out of necessity.

Marriage today is not what it's supposed to be. It's moreso a corporate union than a spiritual and physical one.

It's basically the corporation of John Doe merging with a corporation of Jane Smith.

And at any time the woman can dissolve the contract and take half of the assets. That's assuming she's even worth marrying because a lot of females today are not wife material.


:yeshrug:


If you find yourself a solid upstanding female in this day and age, you're blessed.

I'm engaged right now and I love it. Although my girl def a product of the times and I gotta work around getting all that anger and contempt out of her, since we moved in together we've saved thousands of dollars and I've gotten her invested into bitcoin. She's basically giving me a 2x boost in my finances and I've also gotten her some money in the space. Plus with crypto that's not an asset you can just seize and I plan on buying my house as a tokenized assest so even if she tried to rug pull me, not your keys not your crypto!!!!

Good for you bro.:salute:

I also want to add on to your statement about her being a part of the times. If you look at America like a field and all the women as seeds, they're all going to grow and cultivate in roughly the same way. Some might grow a little differently than others but for the most part they're all going to be the same.

It really just comes down to what extent she has been programmed if you will. How tolerable she is. Some are easier to deal with than others.

Since divorce is the great boogeyman within #GMB, can someone give me some links showing the prevalent consistent downside risks associated with modern divorce in relation to Black men?

This is a direct reflection of the women’s empowerment movement of the 60s. Men have been effeminized , castrated, and forgotten their roles; and the woman(the black woman in particular)has COMPLETELY thrown off the “shackles” of her role which is to stay her ass in the household and maintain it ; cuz she wants to do what the man does. So strong, so independent :unimpressed:

Reap what you sow. It’s only gone get worse :manny:

What a lot of posters aren't mentioning I'd that white marriage is declining too. MGTOW is white men
