brehettes could you date a man making 10-15 a hour?

[MurderSheWrote]

Only on the coli 15 dollars an hour is a low wage.

It sure as hell isn't enough to support a family alone or even yourself unless you plan to live with a roommate, your mother, or somebody's basement for the rest of your life.

Hell no! These slightly above minimum wage ninjas need to be avoided like the plague.

I give two shyts if you are "on the come up"....you ain't there yet.

God forbid something should happened and the chick gets knocked up. Are they going to sit around thinking, "We'll be alright...he's on the come up. Today he's mopping floors...tomorrow it will be fries...and maybe then we can afford some health insurance"? Hell no!

They are going to be thinking, "We fukked up!" She's going to be thinking about a trip to the abortion clinic or settling into a life with a broke ninja and a baby.

In this world we live into today men need to step their game up. There was a time when men took pride in being established and able to provide before having kids, marrying, etc. Now selfish ninjas want chicks to give them all the benefits of marriage without marriage and without having shyt to their names. It don't work that way. Anything you can buy a woman with a job making $10-$15 an hour she can get her damn self.

Fair enough.

So the man brings the money and provides for you and your family's needs.
What are you doing for him?

If your single over the age of 30 you need to reevaluate your priorities

WTF? Why these bytches can't buy they own shyt. If yall splitting bills $10-$15 is plenty.

 

[Rockstar Mom]

I would. As long as he continues to move up

 

[NobodyReally]

But who is working hard to better himself?

Sure. It's about financial stability, not income. Sometimes one affects the other, but at the end of the day, if he can stay out of debt and doesn't ask me to pay all of his bills, we can kick it.

What are you doing for him?

My husband and I met in college. We are both from middle class families and we were both on our way to professional careers (not hourly jobs).

I'm a chemist and a pharmacist and he's an architect. He makes more money than me but the reality is I'm capable of supporting myself. Given this reality it is not "what are you doing for him?" It is more like what are we doing for each other?

Other than love, our newborn daughter, our nice home in the burbs...we compliment each other. He's a hard worker and I don't mind cooking a meal and rubbing his back several times throughout the week. When I'm stressed out he listens and offers his advice.

At the end of the day we are both happy.

That's a great story.
But it doesn't really answer the question.

You have a daughter together. Congratulations.
He's a hard worker, that's great too.
He complements you (I'm pretty sure you meant complements, not compliments). That's great too.
He makes more money than you, but the reality is you're capable of supporting yourself. That's great too.

So really, the money has no bearing on your relationship at all.
So why the rant about broke men that I quoted in Post #108?



Given your current explanation, it seems the money is completely irrelevant, now doesn't it?

 

[NobodyReally]

It ain't how much you make, it's how much you can keep

This! There are so many middle-class and upper-class black folks making 50K+ who are living beyond their means, are in deep debt, and one paycheck away from foreclosure. I rather have a man who knows how to hold onto a little than waste a lot.

 

[Danny Up]

Do you have kids?

I got 7 kids.

You must have missed the question asked by the op??? I answered it. My post wasn't addressed to anyone, but it seems to have hurt your feelings.

If it were me I would NOT date a man making 10-15 an hour. The money does matter.

 

[blackzeus]

Typical female passive-aggressive comment.
I've stated above that the money matters to women.

Clearly you felt the need to take a shot because I pointed out how money plays no important factor in your relationship based on your words above.

It is what it is.
