I wanna call bullshyt on black women spouting this rhetoric but I cant. My own sister says this shyt EVERY TIME we get together as a family.
She's a doctor, tall and in-shape , and by no means ugly.
This is more or less the convo we had at Thanksgiving:
She's doing her usual "men ain't shyt" routine
So I say to her, "what's the most important thing to you in finding a man?"
She goes, "Lots of things are important, I can't single out a few."
She's being difficult, so I ask, "Do you have any dealbreakers?"
She immediately responds, "Gotta be 6'2 at least and make as much/more money than me

"
I remind her, "I get the height requirement, you're tall, but you do realize you are a doctor with your own clinic right? How many men do you know are making roughly a quatermill a year?"
She gets defensive and says, "I worked hard as hell to get where I am (which, to her cresdit, s absolutely true). So what do I want with a man who didn't do the same?

. I don't have time for a failure, I need a good man."
Instead of arguing salary ceilings for different preofessions, I hit her the KO truth. "You know what?

. By your own salary restrictions and coerlating that with if a man is good or not, do you realize that not one of us (her 5 brothers) would qualify as a good man in your eyes?

. Even ________ who makes more than the rest of us, still doesn't make as much as you. If you weren't in this family, you would look at every man in here as a non-viable partner even though we all pass the height requirement

."
Brehs you could hear a pin drop. She laughed it off like, "Well of course there are some exceptions, I would have to get to know them."
I didn't bring up the fact that she dated a 5'7-5'8 cac who made 50k a year training dogs. I showed mercy, it was a holiday
But we are getting together for new years and watch her rehash the same shyt again like our convo never happened.
Brehs I love my sister to death but I pray for her everyday. She lawst and swirling her way down to bedwenchdom
