I don’t think it’s a small percentage tho. It’s 2021. Many women especially black women are earning just as much of not more than men. These women ain’t financially dependent on men anymore which is why they file for divorce at a higher clip

Why do y'all just parrot femininsect bullshyt talking points? I expect women to hear some "You go girl!" bullshyt and repeat it without batting a fake eyelash - not men.

All this chart shows is that black men on average make a couple thousand more a year than black women. Unless I’m reading it wrong. If not my point still stands

Nail on the head with the legality part.

As a married individual, what are the things that you see making your relationship work?

Good point when you speak of people having no idea what marriage is, but I'll also add that so many people (me included), don't know what a good relationship is/ entails. This part sucks though, because I often wonder where to go to find good information about relationships. Everything makes it seem/ feel like the sexes are at war with eachother and that don't even make sense

From this post alone I can already tell that you have a different mentality than a lot of people who just see the marriage discussion as a means to bash women and men.

The sad part is, is that most places that are so quick to give out relationship advice are shyt. All their advice is based on your girl being a super thot who wants to steal money from you... or your man is a worthless man who wants to cheat and not pay for anything.


For me, and i'll be quick on this, these are the things that I care about in a woman
- Someone who is willing to grow with me, and assist me with growth
- Someone who will never turn my vulnerabilities against me and weaponize them
- Someone who is real and honest
- Someone who understands my role as the man and her role as the woman
- Someone who does not have insecurities that crush our relationship

I could go on, but if i'm with someone like that... i dont need to worry about:
If she likes Birkin bags more than michael kors she a thott:lolbron:
If ya girl's ex smashed in 1 week and you smashed in 2, she dont love you :lolbron:
If she would sit in the front seat but your mom would sit in the back, she for the streets :lolbron:



All that stuff is childish to me. When i'm talking about marriage, i'm so far beyond this middleschool shyt, its not even relevant.

I'm thinking of how to build and make an empire, not about testing my girl to see if twitter is right about some random bullshyt

You emphatically stated that black women make as much - but probably more! than - black men.

It's ok to say you never actually looked it up to see if what your gurlfrannd told you was true. Now's the time to quit :queen: and just stop here.
I never said black women make just as much and prolly more


I don’t think it’s a small percentage tho. It’s 2021. Many women especially black women are earning just as much of not more than men. These women ain’t financially dependent on men anymore which is why they file for divorce at a higher clip

Now as far as women being financially worse after a divorce I can’t speak on that

I said “many“ women are earning just as much if not more which is true. Never said “all” or even “most”

Let's take a look at what I actually said.

"The overwhelming majority of all marriages until the 1940s ended with the husband dying either during or three or four years after retiring from his fifty-seventy hour work week doing backbreaking hard labor."

Stop letting your emotions get in the way of basic, kindergarten-level reading comprehension.
Let's try this again because you struggle to stay on topic. You said this:

Women take on zero risk in marriage. Men take on all the risk.

This is incorrect. Women historically took on a lot of risk in marriage. Much more than men. Women did not always have the rights they have today until recently.

If the man left or separated from them they were assed out while that man could just move on. God forbid if they had a child too. Did this or did this not happen in history?

You trying to talk about how marriages ended doesn't change the fact that women had a lot of risk in marriage.

I was in Dallas this weekend. My ex came in from Brooklyn with a friend. Friday I tried to get my best friend to come out. Dude's wife and kid was out of town for the week. Im chill with 2 fine chicks alone.

Saturday I went to a Caribbean day party. So much fun, then met up with my main chick and her lil sister. Again I'm alone with them. Dude said he's coming but never showed.

I've known him sense 3rd grade, sad to see him almost lifeless in his marriage. just working and going home

Only children argue in exceptions and what ifs.

Have a good day, son.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a man or woman for that matter who said they wanted to get married for business reasons :francis:

You want to get married to someone who is at present moment a total stranger and not even because you Love that person but because they will help you accumulate wealth

Like I said good luck with that one

I let it be known early I’m not getting married, I was GMB before GMB

Not sure if you were the one saying y’all can spend one income and save the other but if u were, are you cool with your income being the one spent? :jbhmm:
You know you can love someone and still share the same values right? Marriage is about finances not love. You don’t need to marry someone to be in love. But you should get married if you are sharing finances.

I live off half my income now and save the rest. So if I live off my income and invest 70k or 80k a year. That's a win. I'm completely with it.

This whole thing is being blown out of proportion if you ask me. Just an excuse to shame guys into doing something they don't want to do.

The vast majority of women aren't complaining about guys that are against marriage. Because these women made sure to prioritize marriage and family while young. And didn't focus on their careers first over everything else. Or had a bunch of kids outside of marriage.
