These women are actually vultures, I'm sorry ladies :manny:

I don't see the equivalency between a man wanting and ideal woman visually and a woman wanting a man to making half a million dollars a year. At least a man can find a woman to be attractive due to his own tastes, and this requires maybe nuance. There is nothing nuanced about straight money. The next logical step is a man with millions could simply buy her as a wife.


This shyt is comical when you really break it down.

When you marry, it's not just "my money is my money and yours is yours." If I'm making significantly more, then I'm probably paying more towards the bills, etc.

Are you speaking from marriage experience? Cause my wife makes less than me :manny: and I don't really care cause with her I have more money than I'd have without her. With her, I can do things I normally wouldn't and above all else her personality is what matters most to me, not how much paper she makes :yeshrug: She made more than me for a year, and that didn't matter to her. You're really not looking at this from a perspective of what's mine is yours, you're talking about having to pay more and that bothers you because it's YOUR money, all that whats mine is yours ish you said in the first sentence goes right out the window.

As a single person, I'm cool with a 2 bedroom condo. As a couple, I'd want more space...and it would take two pretty good incomes to be able to afford that without compromising on the area I want to live in in order to get it (yet still have money towards other things I enjoy like traveling pretty often). It's not living far beyond your means, but with combined incomes, you should be able to upgrade your living situation and if I'm with someone who makes significantly less, then I'm not sure how you can have all that. Doesn't have anything to do with living far above your own means.

You don't have kids and you want more space, just because.....Everything you're talking about is some excess people don't need, you sound like you're about to break out 4th quarter projections and shyt :russ: I guess I'm different, if the perfect woman made half of what I made, but her personality was on point and we could still live comfortably I don't have any problem paying more. Why should you upgrade your living situation? Why is being where you are simply unacceptable, so your life right now isn't where you want it to be because you don't have a husband to upgrade your lifestyle, that's basically what you're saying :hmmm2:

in my company of 900 there are only 4 black men, one works in the mail room, one works in it, one works in sales and then there's me. I ain't a cornball but I was hired by a female manager whose daughter has a biracial kid :myman:

Yeah. It's the same way at most big companies, breh. Black men are MIA at big corporations, especially in high-paying positions. Go to any big tech company, where the salaries average $100k, Black men are nowhere to be found. Look at Google, Apple, Yahoo, and other big companies in Silicon Valley. Black people are like 3% at those companies. Swagged out, Pac-in-a-business-suit isn't pulling down $100K at Google!

Those are the only types of companies where people are makin' that type of money across the board. Only other occupations paying that type of money are in medicine, high finance, and at "white shoe" law firms, all of which Black men are severely underrepresented. So, I'm not sure where Black women expect to find all these non-athletic/non-entertainer Black men making $100K and above!

Firstly, I said it would be "nice" if he made at least what I made. I'm not looking at dollars and cents nor did I say "I will only consider a guy who makes XX amount." I said it would be nice aka ideal, not that it would be a requirement and that it's a deal breaker.

Again, I'm not looking for a man to upgrade my lifestyle...I said that when you have two people, you'll need more space. I'm happy with my lifestyle as it is, but when you're looking at marriage, that's something long-term/forever and kids will be in the equation at some point...doesn't matter if they aren't right now, I'm talking about the bigger picture (and again, I said it would be NICE...which you're overlooking).

Past a certain point, it is totally unreasonable for a woman to expect her man to be "on her level".

If you make over 80k a year, it is totally unreasonable for you to expect anyone, man or woman, to do the same, because such a small fragment of society does that. Therefore you exclude well over 90% of the populace due to your own proclivities and aversion to spending your own money. A mathematical figure defining who your life partner may or may not be is the apex of narcissism, lady friends. A man can be on "your level" without a dollar in his pocket and I think you need to consider that. People are worth a lot more than money.

Exactly man real black men with these jobs know there aint that many nikkas like me out here. Maybe 20-30 where Im living. These women thinking theres enough of these men going around are naive.

If you got one of these jobs u know u the shyt :myman:

It would bother you and the opposite of it being "nice" would mean it's not nice :Guidedtoislam:
