I got multiple real friends in real life that are black professionals, college educated, and got married in their 20s. A bunch of them are divorced already, which begs the question that maybe being GMB actually would’ve been better for them, but the fact still stands that they were not on some GMB shyt in their 20s and they made those vows and signed those papers.

Also if they’re saying settle down at 35, wouldn’t those be the guys that the 27-28s would go for?

But imo anybody can say anything online, I take online talk with a grain of salt. Some folks are clowning, some are dap fishing, some folks are talking shyt because they just haven’t met the right chick at which point they’ll switch up (seen this with my own eyes in real life with real life friends) and some are dead serious, but it’s hard to accurately draw real life conclusions from the coli.
I see your point but I I think the fact that younger generations are less sociable overall is undeniable. So while a lot of it is empty text for various reasons I don’t think that the pool of younger guys that are interested in that level of relationship is enough to facilitate what the thread is suggesting.

Yeah I can agree on that, Gen Z was raised with smartphones and social media so I’m not surprised they’re built a little different. There’s definitely a drop off between millennials and the current generation.

That said, OP started the thread talking about the current crop of mid-30s and 40s women, what folks are saying for sure applies/applied to them.

This new generation coming up is definitely gonna be different though. Might be like Japan out here soon

Fair point. Kind of surprised dudes 30-40 spend much time concerned with it but I wasn’t really entertaining chicks with kids or jumping out the window if she said she wanted them. It’s more likely to play out that nothing comes from the connection long term.

So a woman shouldnt have a dream career because men dont value it? What if she’s always wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor, she shouldn’t do it because men don’t care about it? She should just have kids and forget about it or coli males will judge her?


I’m just trying to understand the issue of woman having a career then having her kids so she can help take care of them financially, don’t y’all hate women that are financially dependent on men? Or is it okay in this thread and a problem in others?

That's what I thought, too:hubie:

I'm not having daughters, or sons. But I would tell this Earth-2 daughter that if she wants to "have it all", then it's best for her to find the young breh studying law/medicine/banking like she is in her college years and build the way most people in high socioeconomic circles do, you're equally yoked then, you'll be equally yoked by 27/28 when y'all lock it down, and you'll be equally yoked by 30-33 when you choose to actively conceive children, whether or not she re-enters the workforce is on them.

Instead of waiting till she's 32 when her male peers are married at childrearing workshops with the woman who did what I just said, or finally enjoying his status as a high earner bachelor and not moving on her timeline.

We don't want women to only want husbands and children. Y'all just want to be us and be you at the same time in a couple different ways and it often doesn't work as planned. You can have a career, just understand things are not the same for you. There's things that don't fall in men's favor either in this world and it is what it is.

:russ:Oh yeah, this country's full of Black doctors & lawyers who are ready to settle down at 27-28.

nikka, we're the brokest generation in history.

That's all people, including White people who are crying about the cost of living.

You got record amounts of people living at home until they're in their 30s and shyt, but your earth daughter is gonna be different than whole generations of people:mjlol:

All these broke millennials in their 30s are supposed to just get married and have kids:mjlol:

So we should have a bunch of 35+ year old women having kids then:gucci:

My suggestion to women who want kids is to find a good man to make them with while they are still in their reproductive prime aka THEIR 20S.

Around age 22 to 29 imo is a good time if they have the right partner. Less chance for high risk pregnancy and enough time for her body to snap back.

It's better than the teenage baby mamas we have raising the next generation of Chief Keefs and Kodak Blacks:francis:

There's alot of disingenuous folks in here acting like it takes until 35 to get "stability" :mjlol:, and acting like all of these women are out here waiting until their 30s to settle down for "stability" purposes :mjlol:

Ignore the poorest generation in history, brehs:francis:

Watch 'em make excuses for this perfectly reasonable statement.

It's only reasonable if you don't take into account how many people in this generation are dead broke and live with their parents.:stopitslime:

Stop it. Black people can fukk and have 5 kids out of wedlock but they can’t get married? Because of racism? Y’all really dumb in here. Mexican immigrants out here picking fruit for a job and they married. Nikkas got excuses for everything. Want to get three different women pregnant but buying a ring is out of question. Nikka stop it.

:mindblown:Having 5 kids out of wedlock is how we got into this mess in the first place.

We need MORE, not less black people becoming stable and having kids, so we don't have a bunch of dumb ass thugs and thots in our community.

Mexicans have a country to go back to.

They can live here for a few years and save up a little money and go back if it gets too rough here.

We got nowhere to go. We're stuck in this motherfukker with nothing

The median value of Black households is gonna be zero by 2050, but you nikkaz out here acting like getting married & having kids is some easy ass thing:pacspit:

Who cares. Don’t date them if you don’t want a relationship or children with a 30+ woman. I don’t get why some of y’all get so pressed with the choices of women that you are not obligated to date, procreate with or marry.

If those women chose to focus on their education and career and then in their thirties decide they want kids and marriage then that’s their choice. you don’t have to agree with it or get involved with her.

I feel a like a lot of Brehs are having a hard time with this emerging wave of gen y and gen z women and how they live their lives—because unfortunately it’s not benefiting you and it’s making things harder for a lot of you when it comes to relationships/p*ssy/etc.

But since y’all can’t really control what they do, it starts these kinds of arguments where y’all talk about their biological clocks and yada yada. But that rhetoric just isn’t stopping the emerging tend of women waiting to have kids and get married. Regardless of the consequences and what it means for society, the children and even for women, it’s what’s happening and it will likely continue to happen in larger numbers. It just is what it is. Women are changing and doing what they feel works best for them even if you don’t agree.

so my suggestion is if a woman having children and getting married in her twenties is important to you, then go for a woman with those same beliefs and just Kim when it comes to the older women who don’t. That’s all you can realistically do.

It's not about what the country is "full of", is about career minded women building with someone early instead of playing the hoe game. Many of those black doctors and lawyers at 28 aren't settling down because at 21 these woman was waiting on their money to come in while prioritizing elite looks/swagger. Take the cape off and understand there's more women disappointed in the result of waiting till 28 to take the search for a partner more serious than those who did so early.

I got a little time today so I'll bite. The whole "black women outnumber black men" narrative is completely overblown when it comes to dating and marriage.

If you go to google and type in "black male population in us" you'll get 19.9 million (they're pulling from census data btw). And before you talk about the black men that are in jail, I'll adjust for those numbers. The total prison population for all races combined in late 2020 was about 1.8 million (source). The percentage of the male prison population that's black varies depending on your sources, but let's say it's about 38% (source). 38% of 1.8 mil is 684k black men in jail. So subtract 684k from the previous 19.9 million and you have 19.2 million free available black men.

The black female population in the US is about 21.72 million. So overall black women outnumber free black men by ~ 2.5 million. 2.5 mil/21.72 mil = 11.6%. So 11.6% of black women aren't finding a man if every single black woman is wifed up. We'll round it up and say 12 out of every 100 black women won't have a man, it's not like that's some insane number. 88% of black women still being able to find a marriage is pretty damn high. And more importantly, that would be more than double the current black female marriage rate.

For comparison, there are 9.416 million asian women and 8.514 asian men, about a 900k difference. 900k/9.416 million = 0.0955 = 9.5%. So basically around 10 out of 100 asian women wouldn't have a man if they all got married to one another. so 10 out of 100 vs 12 out of 100 for asian and black women respectively, that's not a very significant difference. But yet, ~60% of asian women 16 and older are married whereas ~30% of black women 16 and older are married (source, check the graph labeled "percentage of women currently married"). So look at what we're seeing here. Asian women and black women are damn near even in terms of outnumbering their men, but yet black women are still married at essentially HALF the rate asian women are married.

That alone is enough evidence to prove that "outnumbering" their men is NOT the reason so many black women are out here unmarried. We gotta stop with this "not enough black men" false narrative.

And lastly, in regards to the whole black men don't want to settle down, bruh, you do realize black women are basically the creators of the whole strong independent woman that doesn't need a man mantra right? Black women have been running with that for years. I won't for a second sit here and act like all these brothers are marriage minded and/or marriage material, and in turn all I ask is you please do not sit here and act like all these sisters are marriage minded and/or marriage material either, it cuts both ways.

So bottomline, "there ain't enough black men" is a weak narrative that doesn't at all explain why black marriage rates are so low, and there are plenty of black women out here who move like settling down clearly isn't a priority for them as well (until they start hitting those 30s that is....:francis:).

:ehh:
