He’s right.

:manny:

If you think about it, folks were getting married because it was “the thing to do when you reached a certain age”. This was across the board, all races. But as women started making their own money, and didn’t need a man to move out of their parents’ house, other factors came into play. Men had to show up with more than flowers, and a steady job. By more, I mean personality, entertaining, emotional intelligence, etc. If you don’t have those things, the relationship won’t survive.

And let’s get into why Jay Z can get Beyoncé. He was WEALTHY and POWERFUL in addition to his personality. Y’all stay saying you shouldn’t have to wine and dine, because Ray Ray hit for free. Do you LOOK like Ray Ray? No. If you don’t have it like that, you’re going to have to pay. If Jay worked at CVS, he would not have bagged Beyoncé. He wouldn’t have bagged hood “she’s gonna make it out of here” Beyoncé, or “good family suburbs” Beyoncé. He would have bagged Sexxy Red, or pre-money and surgery Lil Kim. And we know Kim is crazy.

Thats one way to fool the foolish........label some shyt as luxury and watch imbeciles fall all over themselves to attain it........

This could have a positive effect just from pure stupid human fomo and keeping up with the trends.......

I mean it’s a no brainer but he summed it up at the end: women are judged more on their aesthetics while men are judged on their ability to produce.

Marriage has always been about social mobility for women, not the other way round. A poor beautiful woman can marry into the 1 percentile. Jeremy Meeks scenario is an outlier not the rule.

In fact, he didn’t even marry that rich CAC, just had a baby with her which further proves my point.

This is why I made the thread about CACs crashing out. Although it’s affecting all men of all races, less and less of them have the means to be economically viable which reduces their sexual value tremendously.

Black men have historically been economically disenfranchised but still found other ways to be desirable in the dating market. So it’s not like You’re removing a crutch from us like you are for white men.

easiest way to solve all of this is to heighten the contradictions.

burn everything to the ground, force humans to go back to interdependence based on survival

and watch the birth rate soar

@CreepyMcCreeperson if Jay Z worked at CVS he wouldn't be able to afford his own spot and would still be living at home with his mom. He wouldn't be able to bag any woman in that situation.

A nation/cutlure crumbles without families. It's just how it is.

on a positive note, dont knwo how true it is, but there's a new meme that says black marriage has been in the increase in the last 10 years.:yeshrug:
