So are you all really going to put this all on black women? So theres nothing we, as black men, could improve on to ensure more marriages between black women and black men? We talk about group
economics all the time on here, and how important that is in aiding in the bettering of our community, but you have black dudes marrying out twice as much as black women, not getting married to black
women, and impregnating black women then not raising the children they create. Marriage is paramount in achieving something like group economics, and yet so many of you want to push all the
responsibility and blame onto black women. There just rarely ever seems to be any responsibility taken by black men, here, when it comes to topics like this.

All I ever wanted was the world
@Juicy I hope you know I was being a bit facetious in here, sista. I hope to have my own Navel orange like you one day
This chick @LadySimone is KILLING ME! I have to break character.
aww yer so sweet.
I thought we were gonna go back and forth for a few pages tho.
I'm tired of this debate entirely. We as black women are not benefiting from this conversation it only perpetuates the stereotype that we are undesirable by even our own men and that our men ain't shyt cause they not marrying us. When the majority of us are getting married to BM. I'm not buying tho whoa is me the media keeps labeling us with

About to men= (potential)
You get hired on entry level jobs based on potential.
The NBA Draft is based on potential.
So is the NFL, MLB....ect..
You sound uninformed.
I married my wife based on potential, as she did me......we hit the jackpot.
Had I just went off what she had or was at the time, I would never made her my gf let alone married her.
Companies poject future profits based off the potential of the job market, interest rates, wall street, even the price of gas is based of potential wars and conflict in foreign countries.....
Rarely does anyone get the benifit of dealing with absolutes in life and picking a husband or wife is no different.

I can't find a good black man, any colioligist would like to help me discover what my issue is
aww yer so sweet.

Nah. Not on this topic. I am gonna get my money up and do the thang, but the stuff I want to do has more to do with me and less with, excuse my french, p*ssy.I've been single all my life so I can imagine being single is much more fun when you have money
That don't mean I don't understand the plight of these women.My mom is about 50 and she living that shyt
She has met quality men a few times, but yea, they typically JUST came into their own and aren't in a space to settle down.The opposite end is a lot of the men that step up to talk to her are really of the aint shyt variety. I know she likes her freedom, but a few years ago she thought she was gonna be married
I just see how she would much rather be living out her days with a dude than being in this limbo of dwindling prospects of men of means, but a never ending stream of dusty dudes who would consider
a single mother of quite a few children a comeup. Honestly, some of her missteps were the same that these women made, and I can already tell its gets MUCH harder for a woman as she gets older.

I'll make this simple for you.
Current NBA champ and league MVP Stephen curry was the 7th pick when he was drafted.
That mean 6 other teams had chance to select him and did not.
The rap on curry was that was too small, injury prone and did not attend a major D1 college.
Now, if that same draft were to take place today, Steph curry would no doubt be the number 1 pick in the draft.
But like I said, You get to draft off potential and hope you get a franchise player..........picking a mate is no different.

Speaking from personal experience pretty much all the black females that I know including my sister who are:
Attractive
Good careers
Good attitudes
Are married and were snapped up long before they even finished college. That's just my personal experience.
