What can be done so that black men are less commitment-phobic?

[Cadillac]

u talking marriage or just commitment in general?

marriage , ehh alot of black people are not getting marriage or messing with the idea. But that aint stopping black love. but alot of black people are taking note of the "scams" of official marriage.

Some people do what Joe and Cyn do and claim marriage but its not recognize by the state.

commitment - I would say thats hard to measure. IMO alot of black men(despite the polygamous voices) are open to commitment. idk

Easy to commit, but for marriage?Honor pre-nups, do away with alimony nonsense, fix child support laws.

Change the culture.

I remember reading an issue of THE FINAL CALL in the late 90's, they were blasting hip hops culture of not celebrating fatherhood and promoting being a player/pimp

Nothing will ever change if we stay promoting the shyt that we turn around and complain about later on

sigh....

no black man should get married until they're post 35.......

.....and america is a post industrial society.... meaning marriage and kids are irrelevant

....the only thing black men should be doing is focusing on their purpose.... everything else is a distraction

70% of divorce is initiated by women


You sure it’s men who have commitment issues?

 

[MercuryHayes]

Ok, well you’re kind of generalizing...

Not every black man is afraid of commitment... not even most

yeah this thread is horrible . all my black friends are married with children or soon to be and I don't have a single white friend married with kids. the solutions provided in this thread transcends race cause being afraid of commitment isn't a black male thing

 

[Emoryal]

But that argument gets detonated when it shows that married men have MORE sex than single men, married men are HAPPIER than single men, the combination of income brings in MORE money for you

Correlation does not imply causation - Wikipedia

Plenty of black men willing to commit to a woman, doesn't mean that woman wants them though.
