IMO a woman should want her man to be a earner...maybe im old fashioned.
But I dont see anything wrong w/ a woman that wants a man that makes money. Its simple birds and the bees type shyt.


as for the subject at hand...120K is right around where ill feel a little comfortable in terms of money.
The name of the game is to grind. Too many people are focused on having fun, and not setting up their future.
I know the avg household is making like 50K...but thats a struggle! I couldnt imagine having a family and only having 50K for all expenses. Thats stressful.

Yes my hopeful future household income is based on growing up knowing what it's like to live in a struggle household, working my ass off to improve life for future generations of my family, and living off of about $50k and realizing that it was just enough for me and that I would never want to raise children on that.

And my comments aren't about those women who showed discretion. My comments are about, again, a short coming that many women in our society have that is exclusive to women, that is exemplified by the women in the OP. That's what the whole thread is about. A discussion of how unreasonable these people are to demand their partners to be in the top .5% of income earners, lest they be leaches.

If you say so breh.

I've dated almost every race of girls and my first girlfriend was half korean/half white, I'm a black guy but these are my experiences:

-I feel like a lot of black women are culturally "out of the loop" in terms of what they should look for in a guy.
-A lot of families grow up without a father so the women have daddy issues. Then when the father is home, he will often spoil her to death and give her a "princess complex" out of a sense of not being a "deadbeat" dad.
-Materialism is also rampant in the black community, especially with our women(A neauveau rich trait) which ironically is why so many have trouble building any sort of REAL wealth or power.
-Some black women refuse to ask what men see in other women but assume it's simply because of race.

-The whole single mother"I don't need no man!" black male bashing movement doesn't attract men. A large chunk of white guys HATE feminist with a passion and white makes are a lot less traditional than black men about gender roles. You do the math.


I think it's good for women to have an ideal salary because you don't want to marry a 35 year old broke, aspiring rapper. Okay, we all get it. Instead of looking for a salary, black women should be looking for "qualities" in men. Most women of other races do this but black women typically look for money and assume qualities instead of the other way around. Instead of looking for guys that make 80K+, they should be looking for guys that are honest, funny, genuine, a healthy self-esteem, ambitious, respectful, hard working, altruistic, responsible, etc because people with those traits typically go off to do things with their lives because they have a good head on their shoulders.
I have black male friends that were passed over because black women wrote them off as "cornballs" or "lames" who are now making 50K+ mid twenties at the very beginning of their careers with plenty of room to move up doing something they love. Some of them are still holding out for black women, some succeeded and others moved on and found happiness outside of their race.

Most women of other races know how to do this but quite a few black women don't want to build with a guy and date someone because of his character/personality. They date for status and money. It's weird because I know really hot white girls that date temporarily broke white guys coming up that had those qualities and rode it out with them because they knew the boyfriend had qualities that would lead to having a successful career and 99% of the time, the guy did. Because of this, the women had a college educated husband with a good career, kids and a nice starter home by the time they hit 30. No worrying about a biological clock, no worrying about settling down, no worrying about finances, etc. Usually the couple has a much greater grasp on personal finance so they aren't living paycheck to paycheck. SOME black women don't want to build or hear that because it's not as easy as simply marrying a rich guy.

When I date outside of my race, the woman usually tells me it's because they thought I was cute, funny, confident, I made them laugh, they always had fun around me and I'm such a sweet guy. They loved the fact that I was smart too. You know, traits that typically make good fathers and providers. I almost NEVER hear that when black women choose to date someone. I'm not turning this into a black woman bashing ceremony because there are a lot of good black women who are passed over or simply need a healthy boost of self esteem and weightloss but the amount of delusion some black women have is often intolerable. It's also why I see a lot of African immigrant americans who come here dating the motherly redheaded white woman who's a school teacher making 35K because she's a lot more wife material than the angry, materialistic, overweight, aggressive black girl pulling 80K with attitude problem like the whole world owes her something.
:aicmon:

P.S. Most dudes don't care about how many degrees you have regardless of race. Quite a few black women love throwing degrees in people's faces but they will be BullShyt majors like childhood development, communication, etc. Nobody cares about your degree, it's about what you do with it that counts. Instead of getting 3 degrees, get 1 degree at an affordable price for you factoring scholarships, grants, loans, etc, go to grad school for your masters and do something amazing with your career. That is MUCH MORE impressive than a chick with 3 bachelor degrees at 40, up to her eyeball in school loans and absolutely no sense of direction or purpose in her life.

It comes down to people wanting to be superficial in the way that they choose their mate, while getting upset when they are hit with those same superficial standards.

Try as men might to make their superficial standards for women "different" and "better" than women's to men, they aren't. :yeshrug:

nikkas were just too lazy to understand the thread on LSA. No one wants to date a broke nikka, just because these women don't want to have to work three or four jobs to keep some of your broke asses afloat, doesn't mean they're gold diggers. My ideal woman is wealthy and successful, understanding and politically leftist with a taste for classic socialist literature and a love of video games. She doesn't HAVE to be all of those things, I just find those traits ideal.

Pretty much. But, no one wants to hear what professional Black men have to say about the issue. We don't care about a woman's titles and degrees. At the end of the day, we just want a woman with a good heart, who can help provide comfort when we come home after dealing with a racist world, someone who can cook a good meal and someone we'd like to lay down with.

Degrees and titles can't do any of that for a man.

sadly this is why yet again I don't feel sorry for most black women out there. Ray rice make smillions a year y'all would marry dude, same with chris brown. The average black man making 30-50k a year, no criminal record, whose faithful and loves you, you look down upon him

Black men don't get the breaks black women do, if companies are hiring a minority they will hire a black women to fill the quota ofa minority and a woman before a black man.

This is why i'm marry a latina or filipino or even dare i say a cac :mjcry:

That implies Husband Money + Wife Money = Family Money.

Most women aren't hearing that. They still want Husband Money = Family Money and Wife Money = Wife Money.
My parents pool their money together, so I'd like to do that with my future husband. I don't agree that one person should carry all the weight and pay all the bills.

You're a rare one. Deep down, most of these women want a man to take care of them. They want that "running errands while husband brings home the bacon" life they see cac women outchea doing and on reality tv.

Should every wife have a secret bank account? How some women use it for little treats or as security in case of divorce

Every month Elanor Kellie makes a very secret assignation. It’s been going on for more than two years now and while the exact date and time vary, one thing never changes — the fact that her husband is totally in the dark.

But Elanor certainly hasn’t got a lover, and it’s not even that she’s undergoing secret cosmetic treatments.

Instead, with a few clicks of her computer mouse she logs into her bank account and diverts money from her current account into a savings fund her husband, Alistair, is unaware of.
