This thread is an example of the damage done by society constantly coddling and lying to women when they're young. There will never be posts like this from a man that get any traction. Because society doesn't care. To quote Aubrey, "If you aint got it, you aint got it. The theory is amazing." :banderas:

Basically, men on some level, understand that you have to work to get that girl you want. Gotta get your bread up, swag up, whatever... but you have to do SOMETHING. Can't sit around and complain. If you do you're a loser and an incel. Women, by nature of socialization, don't have that mentality. So you get a bunch of "woe is me" posts on social media. As if that's going to change anything. :mjlol:

Huh? Do you know what a six figure salary means? Literally six figures, as in a six digit number. That varies from 100K to 900k. Anyone making in those ranges has a six figure salary. A six figure salary isn’t limited to 100K.

I didn’t say a six figure salary makes someone special either. I only said that typically the people I know working in managerial positions in corporate America make a six figure salary. What that specific number is depends on a variety of circumstances. I know some that make in the low 100K range and others who make 200K and more as department directors.

When you factor in location, age, industry, title responsibility and hours worked, what denotes a good salary for one person will differ for another. Whether someone sees themselves as a boss or not, is on them. Your opinion of what you think someone should make to be a boss is just your opinion too. Nothing wrong with it either, we all have them, just pointing that out lol.

It’s all relative. My sister was making in the 200k range as an attorney in her mid/late twenties. That’s more than what a doctor makes in certain parts of this country, so it looks like a great salary but she was in expensive NYC at the time, and working 80 hours or more. Some might have seen that as a boss, but she didn’t. She took a paycut, moved down south, and now only works a 40 hour work week like myself. We have different salaries, roles, and whatnot, but we both are satisfied with where we are at as far as that goes.

My point? Not everyone will see success or define it the same way for themselves. Figure out what success looks like for you and go for that.

99.9% of these people that talk about 6 figures make $100k-$150k:comeon:

Women like this will make their own money but still complain about a man who doesn't make as much as her as if it even matters. As long as somebody got money in the relationship what's the problem?

:manny:I don’t believe many black women are single to be honest (especially the college educated ones).


But she is right about striving for more than 18/hr. That’s barely above minimum wage in NYC.
Yeah right those "educated" sistas be habitually single. They were the main ones crying and writing all these damn articles since the 80s about being single and educated.

I thought we left gender threads in 2019?:rolleyes:

As for why women are single, it depends on the woman but there are a lot of reasons.
Firstly, Society has changed. Women will always want companionship, but the amount of shyt that many are willing to put up with in this brave new world of opportunity is very small. Education, job opportunities, rendering shaming tactics pretty much obsolete means, women are making their own money so they want somebody making comparable to themselves or better, and they won’t stick around if he fukks up too much unless she fukkin up too. This current era also lends itself to female exploration in a way a lot of previous eras didn’t so many are focusing on themselves a bit more. Personally I see this as a positive:yeshrug:but I also see some women who are genuinely problematic having issues too.

Ah well. Everyone will live and learn. We gon be alright.

I can’t speak for anyone else or your experiences so I won’t contest what you said. but when I was talking about it in this thread I was referring to anyone that makes a six digit range. You can look up the salaries of managerial degreed positions at fortune 500 companies and you’ll see more of those positions paying a six figure number as opposed to 50/60K, if you believe I’m speaking out of my ass. Go on Glassdoor and other sites.

Edited to add: not sure why you even responded to my post the way you did anyway. Especially when in other threads you’ve said you want to make six figures, get a nice car etc. don’t be a hater breh, its not a good look

College educated, $50k and up managerial job
So she's not bringing anything.
The correct answer to does she bring anything to the table should include great cook, listens, doesn't make smart ass remarks, gets along with family and friends, not a feminist and isn't clingy.
How much she makes and her job title don't describe any of those things which will make or break your relationship. Plenty of women who are entrepreneurs who make very good money but think that's what is important to a relationship when it's who they are without the material shyt that actually matters which is why they end up alone.

Petty Vandross.. fukk Yall
There’s a difference between a man making $18/hr and “settling” w/ that forever and a man making $18/hr but still trying to better himself and make more money.

I don’t get why people are mad that a woman doesn’t want a man with ambition. That’s insane.
Respectfully..
Nobody is mad at women for having requirements..
But the word “settling”..
Is loaded and filled with hypocrisy..
If brehs in here went to Twitter/Instagram/Facebook..
And truthfully listed their requirements and what they wouldn’t “settle” for..
They would be hit with all kinds of..
You are misogynistic..
You ugly and short anyway..
Chivalry is dead..
It’s nothing wrong with you wanting your partner to not sink into complacency..
But what are most women bringing to the table to balance this shyt out..
You want a Renaissance Man..
But it’s females out here that won’t even learn how to cook one meal..
Keep a clean and orderly house..
Leave a nikka in peace sometimes..
Have proper conflict resolution skills..
List goes on and on..
Take the person in my avi for example..
Breh seems to be a wholesome, good dude..
One of the top in his profession..
But his wife(hasn’t recently)..
Stays out of pocket and trying to compete with breh..
Putting all types of business in the streets..
If I’m your spouse/mate..
I’m looking for somebody I can be vulnerable with and share my success with..
Build a home with..
I’m continuously fighting 24/7 in these streets as a black man..
Then I got to come home to shyt like that..
This is why a lot of brehs are exiting out of the dating pool..
And keeping it strictly dropping dikk off..
Again..
There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting a successful man..
But even if some women got a brotha that actually met every criteria on the list..
Some of y’all still will find fault in said dude..
He’s too good..
He treats me too well..
He cares about too much..
He’s too ambitious..
If we are truly going to have open, fruitful dialogue about these things..
Both sides gotta stop with the half truths and loaded words and statements..

You said that $18 an hour salary is low for your age range, so what is considered not low ? Just asking your opinion

I honestly shouldn’t have said that. What’s low is all relative breh. I can’t tell you what you should be making at my age. My friends don’t even know how much I make because it’s only one part of the equation. Being happy with where your at, understanding what success means for you, and not being in a place of struggle so you can afford to live the way you want to, comfortably is what’s really important in my opinion. You’re still young and I know this is something you’re anxious about, so all I can tell you is to figure out what is to low for you to make at 30, and what you want to make, and try to make the moves to make that happen.

Depends on where you are, if you're a professional woman you're not dealing with struggling men as much.
Same thing for a man, if you're a professional, your social circle is likely entirely composed of professional or professional-adjacent women.

Every single one of my girlfriend's friends are on some hyper-professional shyt; doctors, lawyers, consultants, artists, journalists, researchers, etc.
That's what most of my post-college friends are in too. I haven't had dinner with a woman not doing something with her life or struggling in years.

Edit: Unless she's an on-the-ground organizer or working through emotional difficulties, etc.
