This just sounds like some elitist shyt but whatever works for you man.
Lets keep it real a dude esp if he's making over a certain amount is a gift to alot of women because that's what they are looking for. All that other stuff is discrediting IMO. Of course that other stuff matters but just like some good looking woman that is told over and over how good she looks goes to her head same thing with guys. I'm also a believer most people don't really have much deal breaking shared values when close to the same level. We all have disagreements here and there but most people we can get along even in a relationship just fine if they want to.
If a man watches reality tv whats wrong with it? I also just thought you said that don't mean nothing about what they do outside of that. Seems like a contradiction and you on the same elitist shyt dude on too? Y'all can have it must work for y'all apparently
A dude making a certain amount might be a gift to some but let's be real, in this day and age, more women are employed than men, especially if we're talking about in the black community...so there's a HUGE change women are the breadwinners, but if we're talking about a combined household that shouldn't matter anyway bc the money benefits us mutually. A woman making a lot of money doesn't necessarily need a man making as much as she does but she more than likely doesn't want someone who won't work...who's lazy and allows himself to be a sponge (I know too many women who are w/ men (not even husbands) who don't financially contribute at all, granted it's the woman's bad for allowing that to happen). Again, I think it goes back to maturity...the things you listed, guys making lots of money and women allowing compliments to go to her head, are all ego issues...and one thing I know to be true is that as people grow, looks matter less and less when one is looking for quality...
I'm not contradicting myself. If you go back through my last few posts, you'll see that I believe mature people can separate entertainment from life, however, I know men who watch the Real Housewives series and gossip about it like women...that's not attractive to me, so to each his/her own.
