And then when you want to swim in different pools of men who have a different mind set they start screaming black love with one side of their mouth and bedwench with the other.

Black women just need to keep it moving.

It's sad honestly. I ran into a lot of bm like that when I was still dating, Not so much of the bedwench thing but the wanting to be your only option while wanting to still be free themselves. Then insulting you for doing the same.

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Degrees are only useful if you actually work in that field and most don't.

My wife and I married based off potential (what we could be) an not what we were (mid 20's ).
I had no kids, nice body, handsome, 5"11, and the mindset an hustle to do big things and in college.

My wife was a cna, gorgeous, killer body, had one kids, very honest, hard working and wanted more our of life.

10 years later we combine to make over 150K and still more earning potential, we've bought 2 houses, most recent was brand new 3,300 Sq feet with 5 bedrooms+game room, along with 3 kids.

We didn't settle for each other, we felt getting each other was the best and that we could make it happen and we did!!!!!
Getting together was the best move we could've ever made...

Most BW don't think like this...they don't want to build with you, they want you to own the building and move them in it.

But most black men aren't in professions to be considered an elite group. So how come the world middle class aren't ready to marry? And white and Asian men especially make way more but they manage to settle down.

Just admit the elephant in the room whether the black man is dead broke or a middle manage is that having a rotation imaginary* of p*ssy is more valueable than family and commitment.

I say imaginary because a lot of you men think you're going to get ass when you're balling but ain't seen no receipts yet.
:lolbron:Don't get hot, Ladysimone, im just playing around in here.

But to answer your questions:francis:

1. Exactly. Most black men aren't in elite positions. This is pretty much the crux of the issue with the women who taste success. Instead of realizing they are small fish in a very large ocean, the ocean being
other professional women and non-professional women who probably make better partners than career women, they talk about "there are no good men."

Realistically, how many well-off men are dating equally credentialed women? Very fukking few. And thats ok. Its about building, and sometimes your building with a 65-35 or better ratio as far as income
and assets. Now, we know the "Women like thugs" shyt is overplayed, right? Especially in the late 20s. These women are looking for career-minded black men, where there are probably more
career minded black women available to each one. See the problem? So instead of looking for a man who is ready to do the family thing, they are trying to shoot parallel or higher for a man
who might just be getting his first taste of life and enjoying the fruits of his labors. Hell, they may even have college sweethearts they married (that should give a hint about the time to look for a husband, but I digress). If you are a lady with degrees and doing big things, are you too "elevated' to date a man who isn't as far along, or has no aspirations to rise in the corporate ladder? If men did that, very few
would get married. This is pretty much the point to be reinforced. The more you ask for on the menu, the smaller your pool gets. No, they shouldn't settle if they don't feel as much, but when you
have a goal in mind about the man you want, sorry, you have to wait. You cant trick, bewitch, bamboozle, or snooker that "perfect guy" into being ready. Its not gonna happen, and you have to do
what men have done for AGES: go fukking hunt, and don't stop till you found your catch. If you sit and wait, you screwed yourself.

2. Marriage may be hurting for lots of reasons: antiquated for a lot of folks, costly (especially if someone wants a white-dress wedding with 200 folks in attendance), fear of commitment, or the most
prevalent reason, it doesn't work for them. And in this economy?:dahell:Getting your finances tied up with someone else can be the death knell to that relationship the second shyt goes south.

3. White folks have an economic leg up for the most part, and them folks are marrying in college, a lot of them. Again, sounds like it could be:jbhmm:a gold mine. Attend a college where
black males are in abundance, play the field, boom, might come away with a winner. Then your girls will ask you how you got him, meanwhile they skipped college altogether or at least
didn't pay attention to career minded men who looked to be more down for commitment. Asian families across the board usually house larger than average families, and stick together longer,
leading to a deeper watering of the roots, so to speak. Don't toss your kid out at fukking 18 and you might be able to help them be more financially prepped down the line. Put away for college,
even when you are single:comeon:, and conduct yourself like a person ready to make real shyt happen. They have different cultural values altogether, but there are black men who feel the same.
Find them. Or complain about "no good men." Again, if the onus is on the man alone to initiate, you get what THEY choose to give you, and it may not be what you want.

4. A lot of men can get ass without that good job. Tinder. Pof. Hell, spitting in the streets. Thats not the issue, cause plenty men do both career advancement and smutting out ladies fine.
What happens when you are considered a greater catch as a man is the women you attract are of a higher grade:usually better looking, more classy, better educated, etc. Suddenly while
you got your accounting degree or some shyt, this dude is on his way to clearing his first 60k+ a year, and works with women who keep themselves in shape, and well educated, and cut-throat
when it comes to attracting males. But:whoa:Even if his womanizing doesn't increase, what does? His free time to pursue what he wants. Travel? Hobbyist collector of trinkets?
Oh, and the most important one, his time at work:francis:Remember, while you trying to spring up roots, you dealing with a guy who is probably tired and relieved to just hang with
a beautiful woman. He don't have time to nurse a relationship, so instead he gets into situationships with one or more women and focuses on his work.



Bottom line: Women and men are different, and women are trying to do what men have done for so long without the extra legwork that men have to go through. Do you know one of the top reasons
dudes chase money and "things"? To get women! Not necessarily BETTER women, women period. So when he finally gets there, not every woman is "the one" to marry, so while you think
there are no men serious about marriage, you are wrong. You just haven't met the right one. So hop on your horse and light a torch. These men aren't going to suddenly value these
women because they earn more money than average. Jeannette might be finishing up her undergrad and hoping for better things, but you know what, maybe Brandon falls for the barista
who serves him his coffee on the way to work every day. Why? People skills. When you raise your requirements, you goddamn better believe it means more time alone. This goes for men
and women, so its best women digest that when they think education and employment are suddenly relationship qualifiers. Its more than that.

If you are a woman and you are not married yet it is because you are just not wife material. Simple.


It truly doesn't get much simpler than this.
If you're a catch, you'll find someone (or someone will find you.)
If you're not, you won't. Everyone won't get married.
Some are delusional concerning their value.
Others are just not a catch.
Cry a river. Build a bridge. Get over it.

And this same community of peter pans will be on another thread mad the police just killed another black male. Black women's biggest problem is they come from a community that values even the most worthless male simply by virtue of being men.

Black women need to start asking black men what they bring to the table. As evidence by poverty in the black community it isn't money. As evidenced by yet another murder of a black child it isn't protection. As evidenced by the culture decay of the black community it certainly isn't leadership.

Black men what do you bring to the table besides dikk and drama?
:dahell:What the fukk is all this? Mama, do you not realize there are many more functioning black families than not? You do realize that while they are a sizeable chunk, women with the issues
listed in the op are STILL a minority? Poverty in the black community is due to cyclical and generational negligence, as well as white supremacy fukkery, and ECONOMICS.

When the market went bottom in 07-08, EVERYBODY took a bath in housing and employment, and a group with as little as the black community looks worse for it.
Every hiccup that hurts the market puts us back. What are you going on about? Are you forgetting offshoring and outsourcing taking opportunities, opportunities that were remote
to begin with, away from us? The lack of agriculture with which to build on? Globalization sucking meaningful jobs from blacks in industries that we don't have the wealth to duplicate(Look at Detroit for fukks sakes.)

You keep arguing this stupid fukking point like black men are the bane of black women, like we wanna give dikk and drama, get cash, and date out. Of course black women should ask
men what they bring to the table, as long as the woman has the means to build the fukking table. You don't get to dictate freely, its not that kinda world anymore. The black professional women
are having dating woes. Ah well, each woman will figure it out her own way. You talk like Black men need to get jobs and on bended knee and it will suddenly get better. Ever heard of compatibility?
These ladies haven't found the right men yet. Quit turning this into other shyt.

A lot of women don't know how to talk to men.

When they hit a certain age & their looks start to fade, they turn to Steve Harvey books.

They never bothered to develop a mouthpiece when they where younger, because they didn't have to.

So true, a lot of women don't have any charisma or witty to make a man commit to them. A lot of them are on the same BS. I want a travel partner, lets try all the restaurants and all the things they read and see on TV. They really are looking for a man to help further their programmed dating ideology. Modern women are programmed to be selfish. My ex was like that. It's like she be "Lets go to LA, I've always wanted to go. We'll go by the Chicken and Waffle too. I know you'll like that. Throw you a little bone to make you feel like you getting something out of it.

It's hard as fukk to get a man to commit for life. A lot of women aren't pleasers outside of sex.

Them brawds got issues. the end.
good Blk women get scooped up by good blk men every day. as i type right now, a good blk woman, is choosing up on a good blk man.:ufdup:

the thing is, it's obvious why these brawds got these crazy criteria's for blk men... "6'5 rough gangsta, yet sensitive and law abiding ":mjlol: "athletic, but don't play sports":mjlol:... "hard working with a good job, yet always available":mjlol:

most women with these crazy ass criteria's, are really waiting to get scooped up by a white man. most blk women with these "build an ultimate nikka, i have standards" demands, always mostly end up with a 5'5 goofy cracka with a beer gut, small dikk, and a reversible hairline, talking about she found true love..:usure:


This. Fine sistas with a great attitudes have no problem finding a man. These women just label themselves as good catches. The market sets the value baby. You're overpriced and no one's buying it.


But b bbb b black men choose black women to marry like 95% of the time?

The men you just described in the bolded aren't who black men really are. Just a figment of your collective imagination to raise otherwise low self esteem.

The title of an article from mother jones

The Combined Black Workforces of Google, Facebook, and Twitter Could Fit on a Single Jumbo Jet....

So prey tell who and where are these black men who can't marry black women because they too fly?

I never said they can't marry black women bcuz they're too fly. I'm saying the women you can't land the man they think they desire aren't good enough to get them. I want a Bentley, but I haven't made the right decisions or have want it talke to be able to afford it. I drive an Audi tho, does that mean I'm settling? No. I'm did the best I could. I can rent a bentley for a weekend, but that'll be just like you women accepting the jumpoff/sidechick role.


It's sad honestly. I ran into a lot of bm like that when I was still dating, Not so much of the bedwench thing but the wanting to be your only option while wanting to still be free themselves. Then insulting you for doing the same.

I feel you and it is sad. To be honest, a lot of men are just having fun. We see how screwed up marriage and divorce court is. We know most have this modern feminist type dating ideology that we could never commit too. We date and chill and smash, we never tell women that their ideal feminist/equality relationship is BS to us. We just smash and fade to Black. Of course not all women are on this BS, but their are so many that are.

If you really put yourself in a men's shoes, what benefits are there to commit to a modern woman who's not obligated to cook or clean for you. She doesn't have to have sex unless she wants to, seems to be 2 a month in most marriages. Women aren't shame if she doesn't do these traditional wife things. And when she's cheats bcuz the man was too business earning a living, everyone sympathizes with. But men are shamed if the don't do the traditional men/husband things and he must adhere to this new feminist type of relationship dynamic.

Women have created a new construct that most men can't get with at all. Ya'll think it's fine and dandy, but men know that's hell for us. We've tried talking to you all, but yall don't listen. So now we just play along like with cool with it so we can smash.

This is what the person you're responding to looks like.

If her recent posts are any indication, she's three to six months away from killing herself.
Every response doesn't warrant a short story bruh, and there's nothing :lolbron: about said posters spiel, and they're damn sure not "playing" with you.
Recognize when someone is spitting in your face.
Why some of you waste time entertaining blatant trolls is baffling.

Black women don't have ridiculous standards. We in a community with underachieving men who think they have more value than us because we are black women.
And this same community of peter pans will be on another thread mad the police just killed another black male. Black women's biggest problem is they come from a community that values even the most worthless male simply by virtue of being men.

Black women need to start asking black men what they bring to the table. As evidence by poverty in the black community it isn't money. As evidenced by yet another murder of a black child it isn't protection. As evidenced by the culture decay of the black community it certainly isn't leadership.

Black men what do you bring to the table besides dikk and drama?

You must of forgot that Black women with coaching and funding from the Govt forced most Black men out of the homes and communities. Most women chose Welfare over a decent man earning a decent wage. Than women started planning to have kids for men they knew wouldn't stay around. Women were cool with it, bcuz they was getting a check for the govt.

These shiftless men now are products of those single parent homes. This shyt was planned out. Black women probably didn't know how fukked things would get, but here we are.

Meh, how she looks is of no relevance to me:yeshrug:I was having fun cause I know @Juicy was about to drop a shoe in my soup over that comment.
However, Ladysimone is saying some crazy shyt:dahell:

BM not dating BW because we think we are better???Who ever said that? Why is it that instead of admitting that dating is hard work (its a fukking job), we have
to talk about a whole buncha other shyt. Men who get on wanna date around. Why the fukk not? Should they all :cape:for the first sista to say hi
and become another divorce statistic? The day women are actively pursuing men is the day I feel more empathy (I have some now but...).
I've asked out and dated many chicks who didn't see me as the guy they wanted. Am I bytching about it to GQ? No. I'm getting my body and mind right, getting my money,
and when the time comes, gonna go through the laborious process of finding a mate. This seems to be lost on women sometimes. You went after that degree. Now go after a man.

Most of these successful Black women want to be the man in the relationship. It's disguised as equality, but they want to lead the relationship. Only a weak man would allow a woman to lead him. They're are many weak simps out there that would gladly follow them, but they want strong men to bow to they azz. Not happening.


This is exactly the case, that's why you don't never hear other races of women screaming

"I'm educated"
"I make my own money"
"I don't need a man for nothing"

These are man accolades.

:snoop:

Independent = Alone

Who wants to Tug a war with these type of women on every decision in a relationship?


Other races of women know that bs is not attractive to well to do men. We already got money. Help can you add to my life? that's why Asian and White have no problem getting good brothers. They watch what dude is lacking and that's what they bring. they know a well to do man isn't listening to a lot of bickering and is not going to be debating in his on house.
