The fact that y’all still listen to this ninja

Black men aren’t white men dipped in chocolate. And Black women aren’t white women dipped in chocolate.

Our experiences are totally different.

Kevin’s analyses quite often ignore that reality.

How you mean?

I’ve never heard him insinuate this


Edit: I read your previous post

I get what you’re saying but that mind set is going into marriage with an eye on the back door.

If that how you (or any man) feels then it don’t sound like they found the right woman

Facts on everything.

Women wanna spend your and save theirs. They proud to tell you that too.

I said the same thing about Kevin; he just assumes everything will be perfect.

Kevin isn’t helping men that gotta deal with bullshyt like divorce.

I don’t see how you can give advice to people, but you don’t wanna tell people about your life.

This man will bark on you if you ask about his personal life, but then he’ll also bark on you if you don’t tell him about yours.

He should talk more about himself and how he survived divorce for example.

He’s just looking up stats and saying you need this and this and that’s all.

Spot on. His videos are just for laughs at this point.

His analysis insinuates it. For example, he suggests that a Black man being married in corporate America will help him rise like white men who are married. I work in corporate America. For a Black man to rise, it takes having advocates who speak positively of you in rooms you're not in. It takes networking after work with those who are plugged into the internal politics of the company. It takes being visible and making it known what you can do--using LinkedIn to get your name out there and forcing management to see your value. It takes grit. His fantasy of Black men with wife on arm, doing dinner with other couples at the company, as a way to build a Black man's status inside the company is not in line with corporate America as it is, today.

He's thinking of how old white shoe law firms or ancient companies like GE used to operate. Things have changed!

To your second point. It's not about having one foot in and one foot out.

It's about being realistic. Marriage above a certain age is a strategic decision that can make or break a man.

If he's to claim that high value begins at 35, he also needs to clearly articulate that marriage is a strategic decision for those men as well. So, it's not just taking a leap of faith. It's about managing risk.

Because, we all know, as women continue to rise, they are going to manage risk when it comes to marriage! You think women with assets are going to leap into a marriage without managing risk? Men are in for a rude awakening.

He becoming more unhinged

when he was arguing back in his soft preacher voice it was funny

now he’s yelling back and that’s what everybody does

I think he needs additional therapy. I think his heart is in the right place. But, some of the ways he lashes out at some of the women isn't coming from a constructive place.

Some of their stories clearly trigger him as it relates to his previous experiences and failed marriages.

Which is why I think he should be more transparent about his relationship history up to this point.

Did he initiate the divorces? Did the women leave him? If so, why?

I'm not for shytting on Black women for kicks. Make it constructive. And the only way to do that is to make sure you aren't injecting your own bias in the advice you give them.

The women want to get a career, get pregnant off the situationship to cross off the being the mother check list. Then be a single parent purposely

underrated dynamic which is only becoming more common and is worth a thread of its own. not every single mother is the result of a deadbeat

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

To add onto my points:

Women—even those making significant money—still envision a life in which husband’s money covers everything (bills, entertainment, household expenses, trips, etc.), while they use their own money for their own interests (outings with their girlfriends, random purchases for themselves, etc.)

A lot of men get tricked into believing they are being a “provider“ in that situation. When, in reality, it’s a parasitic relationship that drains a man dry.

If the marriage crumbles, she has her secret stash and her exit plan ready. Whereas, it takes the man time to recover, financially.

That’s why Kevin’s advice is so misguided for Black men since we don’t come from a lot of intergenerational wealth. He is looking at high value through the prism of white manhood. They can have starter marriages, divorce and bounce back like it’s nothing.

Why? They have family wealth and networks that they can tap into if they take a financial hit when a marriages crumbles.

Black men don’t have that. So, a high-value Black man who has built wealth for himself would be a fool to rush into a marriage. You have to know what type of woman you’re dealing with to properly asses downside risk.

I bet Kevin doesn’t rush into his next expensive cologne purchase. I’m pretty sure he does his research before dropping money on it.

You’re absolutely correct

Imo it makes some of them feel less bad about fukking the degenerate and having their baby. They get the good hobosexual/street nikka dikk, have his baby, then distance themselves away when they realize they’re moving up above him

then they get fat and argumentative in peace
