Man's speaking facts

It's too many women out here that think just because they own a crib and a car they shyt don't stink. They few life thru the prism of ALL OF THOSE HOUSE WIVES SHOWS. bytch you overweight, several kids, and can barely cook. Yet you want to say what type of man you deserve.

Stay lonely

What I’m not understanding is how are bw settling if bm make more than them?

If a certain bw makes a lot, why can’t she date a bm who makes more than her?

If bm make more than bw as a whole, no, bw are not forced to settling, they choose to settle or they can’t get the man they want.

Because we're talking about the aggregate vs individuals. Most bw don't have children in the aggregate, but individually, most of y'all would say you keep meeting a bunch of single mothers and you wouldn't be lying.

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".

Settling now means "not getting exactly what you want"

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.

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.

If its been established that black men make more money then black women, why do y'all have this idea that marrying your male counterparts are a class down from y'all?

Y'all earn less and have more debt than black men so what is this level y'all be talking about? just degrees?

What if I told you a lady can be a waitress, but if she's beautiful, smart, and feminine, a billionaire man will marry her?

Happens all the time. That's how patriarchy works.

I'm traditional and I love the patriarchy

That has no relevance to what I said.

Nobody tells other races of women to date men who can only afford to pay the light bill.

What if I said other races of men take pride in providing for their women and work hard to make sure she doesn't have to settle. Would you agree? Of course not, so don't do the reverse to me.

Chile…

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?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want a man to be able to afford the mortgage where was he living before he met me?

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.

Why do black men have to marry down? Most of yall got kids, most of yall are overweight, too many of yall are miserable misandrists that will destroy any man's happiness. Not to mention the fact that alot of yall don't even like men that would positively impact our community. The list can go on...

woof

They don’t want to submit to a black man around them, only the magical negro in their mind

So why was the bw attorney claiming she wouldn't marry a bus driver?

And I thought the patriarchy was supposed to be destroyed? That's the whole point of the movement that's been going on the past 40 years.

Do ya’ll ever get tired of getting mad and arguing over this shyt

Its the same exact arguement day in and day out

I've said this a million times now lol.

60k is fine for some. But if the women has a certain lifestyle before she meets a man that she provides for herself, it makes no sense to marry a man she'd have to downgrade her lifestyle for.

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?

Tyler Perry said high earning black women should marry men who can only pay a bill or two. That is marrying down. That's what I'm talking about here.

No one is telling you to settle for a dude living in a house he can't afford.

Because patriarchy dictates that the MAN provides, not the woman.

I don't know what feminists are trying to do with patriarchy, but I'm good with it.
