Women...How do you feel about "Dating Down"?
- Thread starter El_Mero_Mero
- Start date
I think I see you. Ok. ure totally complete and content as a single person. No real tangible needs from the opposite sex at all, all needs financial or otherwise fully taken care of by self, dont need anything from any one, its purely about choice and what you WANT now.......ok
I think.........The woman you want wont simply be found easily, she is so unique, so special for you, she probably does not even exist yet in all probability. She's alive but right now she might not be what you want yet. How can she be? You havent even met her or told her. youre the only one that even knows.
You are going to have to take a risk and try and shape/guide/mold someone into what you want.....into her, and thats risky because it might not work.
I follow a similar path. Born in London,Fully Nigerian, Studied/Worked abroad for years, North America/Middle East. There is no 1 woman out there that can get jiggy with all those influences, im simply too unique of an individual. We're going to have to mould a chick.

Most of the women that answered version of dating down was dating ugly men
What is dating "Down" exactly? Does a person's character factor in this?
Katina making 6 figures links up with Brandon whose been working for UPS for 11 years, makes about 58K.
However, he reads, keeps up on current events, takes his granny to all of her appointments, volunteers as a mentor at the nearby youth center, etc.....
Yet he still doesn't fit the profile for them...

Its all about money.
Character is secondary.
When they say dating down they talkin bout money and status. Cream.
50K is a big difference in salary and probably leads to a lot of general differences in how someone plans to live the rest of their lives with a partner. Of course $ isn’t everything thing but that’s pretty big gap.
it’s crazy isn’t it
because it’s all about money
Brandon debt could be all paid up except for say student loans and that’s not good enough
however Keith can be making $98,000 a year, 2 car notes, student loan, 2 credit cards with owing $20,000 on them and other expenses but he’s on her level because she heard $98,000

For some reason a lot of women live in an alternate reality where even though they work as a CSR making 45k they...I know all group of women say this bullshyt
but sisters stay with this whole dating down or dating someone on my level.. which 90% of it comes from the salary they earn
it’s funny because listening to Kevin Samuels the other week when he broke down the average salary a black woman make is $36,000 a year and majority of sisters make less than $60,000 a year .. so all this dating down or on my level bullshyt, is something to make them feel good about themselves and to let white people and Oprah types think black men isn’t doing shyt..
u got chicks that are social workers or customers service reps making $45,000 a year still talking about they need a man on they level educational and financial wise
* Lease a foreign with a co-signer
* Stay in a nice apartment off the strength of male assistance (child's father, simp, ect.)
* Used their tax money to get a BBL
...so in their minds (and on IG) they're a 6 figure bad bytch who looks at the 9-5 brother making 70k as a peon.
It's wild how a woman's mind can work...
There is no such thing as dating down, you attract what you qualify for.Some one that wants a Lamborghini Gallardo but can only afford a Honda Accord isn't settling, that's all they can afford.
No.... that's still settling.
Did you want the Honda?
NO.
So you're settling... Doesn't matter the reason why you are settling...
It's still settling...
That's why relationships are bullshyt... Everyone is settling...
If he could get a Beyonce or if she could get a (insert whoever bytches think is the attractive dude now)...
Then they would.
But they can't... So they get what they can....
But if an opportunity arises for the person with the Honda to get the Lamborghini...
Then that Honda would be passed off to the next muthafuka in a heart beat
I don't even get this whole "dating down". You can gasp go into work today and lose your job or gasp get a promotion.I went from November 28th, 2021 making 40 k less to November 29,2021 making 40k more.
People should just be happy with someone who treats you well, doesn't cheat or abuse, earns a honest living and you both love each other.

Hey.... I'ma ask both of y'all this question... Because you guys are coming at it from different perspectives...
And are having a serious conversation...
Why is "having a woman" a thing ...?
Like if you got your shyt together, like treblemaker is saying...
There is no need to have like a real girlfriend or wife.
So why is it that people are always telling men to get a woman.
There's another thread with the same question but it's getting derailed badly...
What added value does a woman bring to a man that has his shyt together????
A lot of these high income couples are miserable af. Sleeping in the same bed, but miles apart emotionally.
All because their initial dating criteria was superficial.

All praise..
Men date down by default.
So if a woman gets to a certain level and the pool shrinks according to them, you're doing to date down like men have always done. Duh.
