ESSENCE.COM: Do you feel Black women and men are too particular when it comes to potential dating candidates?
FISHER: We found that as opposed to the White clients that we’ve had, Black women are usually looking for physical attributes first. We look for someone who is attractive to us and then we pick up on his hobbies, interests and values. Whereas, White clients are looking for the reverse first. What kind of job does he have? Is he going to be able to provide?Then they circle back.

:sas1: that's it right there...I'm not saying pick a ugly coli brother but at the same time eldris alba is not everywhere u turn and he is more than likely has 3 other sisters on his roster since there is like 5 sisters to a brother in this country especially with brothers in jail or dead

Stats don't lie but liars use stats as the old saying goes. Why even consider anyone under the age of 25? Why not ages 25-45 which is a better representation instead of including people who are still in high school just leaving high school and or just entering college?
You have to elaborate why it's a better representation. Women like to marry before 32, not when they're 38 or 40

If you're talking men, then maybe. But I doubt it will make much of a difference.

Oh please you know how many middle management nikka think they warren buffet?

Same applies to them. 9/10 if you delve into how "successful" these black women are its middle management, nothing wrong with that but that preface is arrogant. The below is the height of arrogance..

TANA GILMORE: They also feel like it’s hard to meet men on their level who they feel are still down to earth. We’ve both discovered that they typically feel that when they meet affluent men of color they appear to be “above them.”
FISHER: Yes, and those men have so many choices that they’re not paying much attention to trying to settle down. And, then if they want to go and meet a regular, everyday, hardworking man, for some reason, these women feel those men are inferior to them. So no matter what they feel like they’re in a really tough place.

Sad to say, but I'd take a young degreeless cutie that's a manager at TJ Maxx than one of these "independent" "educated" "successful" women.

No one is a manager without a college degree or years of experience....

Emphasis on years, negating your young expectation

I am not clear on how your desires relate to the article

They dont know game can be both ways

The game completely switches when women and men get older. Its a 180. Older women reading books on understanding the male psyche while older men out there making up for lost time :shaq:

We simply don't get penalized nearly as badly for aging as women do. Sorry brehettes, its facts :yeshrug:

Depending on what you consider middle management it can be fairly successful.

My boss is a Director that I would consider middle management, but he makes about $150K. I wouldn't consider him upper management because he reports to a Senior Director, that reports to the Sector CFO, that reports to the Global CFO, so he is in the middle of the org structure.

Older women become pretty good at it. Smash a couple they know exactly what time it is in the bedroom
