More Men are Marrying Wealthier Women

People have to be able to wake up and redefine what "family' is supposed to be now.

MY question to you is, if this is a problem that you are currently having, what are you doing to solve it?

He doesn't think I depend on him for anything. I'm very independent, and he's always known that about me so it's not brand new. He's insecure that I'm starting my masters program in the fall. It is a problem but I can't fix it all by myself.

YOU may have someone out there. If a college education and a certain class standing are AMONG the criteria for your mate, don't minimize your criteria just because you haven't found the person you're looking for YET.

Speak the truth on that one. . . especially on that part in bold. I hear so many Black women doing just that. They just give up hope and settle. Then they are unhappy with what they get. smh

I think if more black chicks start dating outside of their race then they would have more and better options.

That's what I was thinking too. Good call. Hilarious!

Newsflash: Most PEOPLE only date intraracially and intraculturally. That goes for most people in America and people in most countries (although they tend to call it something other than "race" and instead use the various correlates of "race").

However, Asian women have the highest rate of interracial marriage whereas white women are only slightly higher than Black women. This has to do with not only opinions of interracial dating, but also the availability of intra- and interracial dating and marriage options for particular socioeconomic brackets.

White women of a higher socioeconomic status who date interracially are more likely to get the similarly situated Black men who choose to date white women. This combined with other factors (i.e. lower education level of Black men compared to Black women) is what leads misguided Black women to cry "there are no good Black men." This is misguided for the reasons I stated in my first post. Some of us have never had a problem with finding well-educated Black men with high incomes and everything else that we want in a mate.

It's a damn shame that Black women are urged to date interracially when single white women who are searching for a mate are rarely overtly and covertly urged to do so. "The good white men are out there......."

I'd be totally fine with a starving artist/musician but a starving author/journalist would probably suit my interests better!

Seriously. I saw nothing really bad with his latest post. He learned his lesson about personal attacks the first time. Unless he reverts to old habits, we should let him return.

yet MM gets away with being blatantly bigoted yet that is ok. I don't get it GC.

That was quick. lol

Agreed. Xanthus hasn't repeated his behavior.. I could see giving him a second chance.

mm/bn is just despicable but comes back over and over with no consequence.

Personally? I'm just not responding to idiots anymore.

Im hoping this isn't directed at me...i didn't request him to be banned and could care less...and I also agree with Vito...I mean if you mods are going to do some speedy banning you need to do it across the board regardless.

I mean dayum MM will sit on a board and be disruptive for days but Xanthus breathes one word and POOF...

Equal Opportunity Bannings GC MODS!!

Na it wasn't. We've had this discussion in chat so I know that you don't really care about it. Others, on the other hand, obviously do care.....TOO much!
