I wouldn't even cosign for a wife. cuz if u split up or divorce, ur in for a world of hurt.

How does that work anyway? Are you considered one financially once you are married, or can you split things up within a marriage?? Or is it only split in case of divorce?

Cost of living should be spoken about soooo much more. 85k in Miami, LA, NY, Seattle, Chicago is a WHOLE other thing from 85k in Kansas.

extremely true. Even though the COL makes the money not go as far, $85,000 is good money. It’s not easy to achieve in most industries. A lot of ppl end up in the 40-60k area even with edu and skills and etc etc but ppl don’t talk about it. Companies are cheap, high paying jobs are difficult to get and some are actually difficult to do, and employees are too comfortable and scared to make a move.

The concept is easier than a lot of brehs think it is; the issue is it becomes harder and harder the longer you put it off (and older you get). Men have this idea in their head, especially Black men, that everything must be done on your own, then you may hit 35 and realize you’re running a race alone that would be 100 times easier to run in a group. But you’ve already isolated yourself and created solo habits that are hard to break. But if you’re heavy into groups early on in life in your teens or early twenties it’s not so hard to maintain those relationships throughout adulthood.

The thing is you have to work at maintaining and building a network, so many people think it should just come “naturally”. You gotta be outside too, which obviously is an issue for the majority of Coli brehs.

True. I’m in NYC so things are little more ruthless or straight to the point. People here just don’t stick. I’m sure this works better in smaller cities, it seems to be the case. But yes, I’m thankful I still have a bit of time, to create one (7 years left til 35.

I’m more into reciprocity, but I’ll consider putting in the work to maintain relationships.

I Always said dudes need to pick up hobbies. You cant meet people if you aren't in proximity of people. Often times they think proximity = being infrot of someone i.e. walking down the street, at a bar, etc. and dudes have fears of Cold approaching. IMO, no need of cold approaching if you have actual hobbies where other people are participating thus its more organic interactions opposed to randomly coming up to strangers trying to strike random convo thats unrelated to whatever the person was trying to do.

The only thing with “reciprocity” is that we are all biased towards our own selves. That’s why everyone usually thinks they’re doing more for others than others are doing for us. Sometimes we have to take into consideration that if we aren’t getting the results we want, socially as well, that it’s likely because we just aren’t doing what we think we are doing.

Pretty much.

There was a time in my life where I was hitting a club or a bar pretty much every night, trying to meet people in a new city. But where I ended up making the most connections and in an easier/more organic way is when I just started going to the local parks and gyms and hooping. Pretty much hit every angle too - doing something I love to do, getting exercise, meeting people, having fun.

A lot of brehs aren’t comfortable with it because most of us grew up where it was considered the “white” thing to do, but learning to golf is one of the best things you can do as far as networking goes.

yeah, I'm looking to join a boxing gym when I finish my cut (I would do CrossFit but I dont support the 'sport' because I'm more into traditional bodybuilding, but Crossfit is a perfect place to meet people since its class based), I also rotate gyms I go to to different parts of the city (still debating on joining Lifetime fitness opposed to sticking to LA Fit, but Life time is a luxury gym ala Equinox).

Even looking up random meetups, conferences ,etc. I've gone to boxing matches solo when my homies cant come and made convo with people sitting next to me about the fight lol. Dudes need to leave that club and bar stuff back in 2003, its for bammas and lames. Actually figure out what you like to do and go do it, and you will meet other sane people. Aint nothing on these apps and clubs but losers and damaged people (I have passive accounts on apps but I'm not on there trying to find love lol).
