they also practice group economics the most though. marriage is not the only factor.

Marriage is not the only factor but it is a huge part of the foundation. I think the part that we're missing here is that group economics is either directly or loosely based on the strength of family ties, not vice versa.

 

[African Peasant]

There are exceptions, but he's right.

In a loy corporations/administrations, if you're a single man, they will not appoint in certain high-level/strategic position. For numerous reasons, including they see you as a boy and also for blackmailing reasons. A man with a family has responsabilities... he can't bounce just like that...

As I say there are exceptions since you might say what about this guy or that guy I know.

But if you're single, you're limiting your options.

and the income/wealth breaksdown like that because the immigrant generation pushes their kids into the medical field, so it's not even really a corporate thing. most the asians/indians i've encountered in the corporate world work on the IT side anyway.

Marriage is also group economics.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Men who work in corporate america know that your wife can be one of your biggest assets when networking.
If she's charming, attractive, and gets along well with the wives of senior leadership it can be a big boost to your career.

This!

In that world, work doesn’t stop when you clock out. You (and your wife) getting invited to dinner. Hey bring the family to the lake house. Convention this weekend, bring the wife. The new client wants to go out and meet our families. Let’s do a retreat.

just a wedding ring alone speaks to your mindset and stability and leadership as a man.... to those old white fukks on the upper level.

it’s not even a guess. Stats show married men are more successful


Hell even Don Draper had to trot his wife out for the dinner parties. They knew how he got down with other women, but you can’t bring them hoes to the meeting with Henry Ford.

 

[saturn7]

ideologies are clashing

It is the modern day dilemma for men.
I think Kevin is right about the system/Corporate game wanting men to be married to reach the top level in certain fields.

On the other hand the incentive for men to get married has been destroyed (esp in the U.S.).

We see men getting broken by the court system. No Fault divorce. Women initiating the divorce over 70% of the time.
As demonstrated on Kevin's show they will initiate the divorce for petty selfish reasons. If you have kids together the man will lose the custody battle. You can do everything right as a husband, the wife can cheat on you , blame you and the court will side with HER.

people keep making fun of #GMB tho

 

[T'krm]

Uhh oh..the coli's new favorite son ain't gonna like this ...

 

[Jeshaman]

Archaic theory.

 

[El Poyo Loco]

I know a few brehs who never married early or had kids they where dogs at work getting that money then once they had enough and moved on up the ladder that's when they settled down. When you young and hungry and grinding some don't want to have to split time between work and home life some want to build a foundation for the future.

 

[EndDomination]

Most successful men are married in any walk of life, don't listen to Conventional Coli wisdom of #GMB

I can't see how being married would have helped me in my career but who knows.

This may change as more millennials get into top corporate roles but as it currently stands (with Gen X and Baby Boomers in those positions), there is a lot of truth to it

That is his opinion. Truth be told, most people in the corporate world will not make it past mid management. Most people are not even in management positions to boot. In addition, most people who work will not climb the corporate ladder.

If he was talking about someone running for POTUS, then I would agree. In the white or blue collar world, the majority of people who make a livable wage/salary are quite content with their situation because it provides stability and security.

Lastly, one will never be rich working for someone else, not to mention, the glass speckling does exist for BM, so Brehs with the hustler spirit will have to create their own ventures and take risks.

Being a married man doesn’t mean said man has a strong worth ethic no more or less than a man who chooses to be single. If anything, people need to learn how to keep their personal life separate from their professional life.

In corporate yes.

Being single and an executive doesn’t look good.

A lot of those ppl do cheat tho. fukking their executive assistant, receptionist, women from other companies / business conferences.

There is a strong correlation between career success and marriage. On that point, he is entirely correct.

Now, whether the correlation is due to: (1) the path to success bringing many men into contact with women they are "compatible" with; (2) that "driven" and wealthier men are naturally more likely to date and marry within their peer group or; (3) that being married actually helps men become more successful - is a bit muddy.

Many women married to successful men do a lot of the heavy lifting; whether that is editing and helping develop ideas, bookkeeping, childcare, and homecare; connections and support from marriage - or anything number of other things.

 

[ORDER_66]

This is the most dumbest shyt I've ever seen here there are plenty of successful men who was never married!!! FOH

 

[HiphopRelated]

This is honestly what it is. The most important aspect is the stability. You have commitments so you're not as likely to run off on the company at the slightest opportunity.

When you got a wife, 2 kids and a mortgage, you're more likely to stick around.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Perhaps.

When people are fukking around on their wives at conferences, they like others to be a part of the same fukkery so that they don't get whitemailed.

I find this hard to believe, but even then, when you ugly gang then you don't gotta worry about this. Work and go home

 

[Barlow]

Isn’t this dude twice divorced and currently single?

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Traditional families are desperately needed in the black community.

 

[num123]

He's mostly right pre covid and pre liberal uprising but these days he's not correct. This ain't 1995.

Dudes never get married nor have kids making big money doing IT.

Maybe he's speaking traditional upper management or fields like doctors and lawyers but slot of jobs pay well that you don't need to be seen like that for that speculation to take place.

I make enough money doing IT and can make more as well without getting into management, and i never would want to be in management as well. He may be right but i am not getting married just to further my career.
