In the comments, a brehette said (and it's kinda long):
"'Where are the real men?' Ok, you wanna know? I'm usually critical of the men, but it's time to be critical of black women. Not in a malicious way, but just being truthful. Look, one thing that many black women do is be overly critical of a man's looks, and this eliminates guys who may be really good providers from their dating pool. I know many of you are preparing to type an angry response to me based on that sentence alone, but it's true honey. Remove your hands from the keys and read the rest. I've been married for approx 6 and a half years, before I even got married, I knew what qualities wanted most in a mate. Yes looks mattered but they weren't at the top of the list. I wanted an intelligent, ambitious ladder climbing man, a REAL provider, who would bust his ass to take care of his family, so that we can live comfortably, not a half ass provider. And guess what? I knew that type of man may not come in a perfect, male model looking package. I knew that and had already accepted it.
Ladies you do yourselves a real disservice by expecting a man to be a 10 or 9 in ALL categories, that's just unrealistic. It's even crazier that a lot of you put "fine" as your #1 desired quality in a man. Number one, really? OF COURSE you should be physically attracted to your mate, but when you chicks say stuff like "Needs to be at least 6 ft tall, chiseled body, this complexion, big dikk, swag etc" you're eliminating the average looking guys from your dating pool, some of those guys may not look like Will Smith but where they lack they tend to make up for in other areas. There's nothing wrong with a plain looking guy. And it's very rare that you'll meet a tall handsome man with the body of an Adonis, with a big dikk, with "swag",who's a good provider with a large income who wants to settle down, etc I mean yeah it happens but obviously there isn't enough of those kinds of guys to go around. Stop putting so much emphasis on looks. Yes you should care somewhat. No you shouldn't marry someone you're repulsed by. But average isn't repulsive. Average looking is average looking. A lot of you LOVE those pretty boy dudes who don't even have a career, all they have is a pretty face, muscles and a penis, and you fall for it, then wonder why you keep getting screwed. Time to start being smarter."
