Nah, you not reading the full message. These women want men making over $100k. Sure the man with $65k salary can make his mortgage, but that's not enough in some of these women's eyes.



This sounds good in theory but the guy would have to be confident because that can cause other problems. my ex made less or just had less than me and I’m not the type to make people feel less than for having less but I do spend a lot of money and he constantly had to make comments about it, tried to control how much I spent, would get mad if I bought myself something, got mad at me when I bought him stuff because I was “embarrassing him”.

When we first got together it was fine because he made a significant amount but something happened where he wasn’t making as much and it just created a bunch of problems. One huge fight I remember is I saw a bag I wanted, he saw it and was gonna save up to surprise me (how would I know? It’s a surprise) and I showed my dad and he told me to buy it and he got mad and literally didn’t talk to me for days, over a purse. I even told him it comes in different colors you can get me one of the other colors but he was just angry about it.

I think I told the story on here how he blew up on me at his birthday party in front of everybody for buying him the gifts he wanted “to buy for himself”, I thought he was telling me the stuff he wanted so I could buy it for him but boy was I was wrong. He went from being confident to being extremely insecure over money and it ruined our relationship.

Settling now means "not getting exactly what you want" :heh:

If you could get a man making more money, you would have him. The issue is that they are either taken or they dont want to settle down or they dont want you. Same issue guys who want the baddie have to deal with. Thats not settling, its inconvenient reality.
Thank you. I don't recommend anyone to settle, but keep it real with yourself though.


You can't say that you won't deal with any chick that's less than a 10 if the only females you ever dealt with looked like Tracy Morgan with a wig on.

You can't say that you only want a man that makes 6 figures when the 50k dudes are the only ones giving you time of day.

If black women make more money than black men...

then is there really a patriarchy in the black community?

:patrice:
Black women have never made more money than black men. The US Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics have been keeping income statistics for decades.

How is adding another income going to downgrade your lifestyle?

What if you get with a dude making huge money and yall both get fired?

Does the actual relationship/connection matter at all?
Because they want to subtract THEIR income from the equation...:youngsabo::youngsabo::youngsabo: They really be telling on themselves with that common talking point they like to dish out...:sas2:

People overuse the term "settling". Settling is if a 5 star recruit in football picks a lesser school like Western Michigan when he has offers from Bama or Georgia. When folks "settle" for something, you pick a lesser option when you actually QUALIFY for better options. And those options come quickly too.

If you out here waiting 5, 10, 15 years and that better option ain't came yet, then you clearly don't qualify for them. Water finding its own level isn't "settling".

Tyler can keep making those crazy shows and have his characters do that.


It is curious, though, that he didn’t stay anything about men improving their station. Why is it ok for a grown man to not be able to pay anything but the light bill?



Coli brehs, if I said that I only have enough $ to pay the light bill, would y’all take me seriously? 🤔


Absolutely not

If we Co-habitate I can take care of most of the bills. But me, for example,chave issue with women that wants me to carry the load but can't get tge phone out of their face to properly cook a fukking meal and not fukking Spaghetti, fried chicken, and pork chops..

I thought about this from your exes perspective, he didn't feel like a man. Almost sounds like Daddy's money syndrome.

That's a hypothetical problem. Not every guy is like that, a lot of us are simple and don't care for luxury. You could go buy a $70k Bentley right now, but I'd still rather have my $13k motorcycle. As for buying you things, I'd keep that simple too instead of trying to break my pockets with a $5k purse.

Above the fray.
And he doesn’t get ANY credit for that
Yeah, like I said. Not a fan of his films and don't think I've ever sat through one.
So, if even I can pick up that he's been slipping in this notion for years in his content, how is anybody acting surprised to hear him say what he said in this clip?
People are acting like he's coming out of left field with his comments.

Listen. No shame in working ANY job, especially since black men still face discrimination in the labor market. Salute, and I mean that.

My issue is, why do black women HAVE to marry down? Why can't she marry on her level or higher? There are real consequences to this for women, but bw are expected to look past logic and reality just to have a man on her arm.
Because they don't qualify for the men they want, they qualify for the nikka making 60k/yr and drive Uber on the side.

If a man make 500k/yr he's not looking for a woman making 500k/yr. he's looking for a woman who is pretty, easy to be around, and can get on his program.

A woman making 500k/yr wants a man "on her level" despite being typically old, masculine, and overweight.
