Why do college educated black women seemingly, immediately write off blue collar black men?

[OnlyOneBoss]

I'm sorry for the generalization it's just what I see (mainly online) this is something I mainly hear on line, but in real life too I honestly see white collar black women dating blue collar brehs less than latinas and white women. Asian and black college educated women specifically seem against blue collar dudes for the most part


I know college women in general date/marry other college educated men obviously, but the dialogue I hear from a lot and mainly college educated black women is that they will NEVER date a blue collar/trade man. Why though?

It seems backwards cause if we're being fr in MOST places where black people live (like the south) the most financially secure black men are blue collar. But their biggest gripe with dating is seemingly "black men aren't earning enough".

Just from what I see, it looks like a lot of college educated/white collar black women genuinely look down on blue collar men. Obviously not all of them, but a good enough amount to notice it. I think educated women in general tend to lean against blue collar men but I specifically see mainly white collar black women talking down.

It wasn't that bad before, but social media has really made it worse.

and of course they have no problem shaming brothas in the reverse situation.

clownery all around.

This is a common coupling at least in the midwest.

i know a MD that just got married to a someone who i think is a sanitation "entreprenuer". she the type that was desperate to get married though tbh. hope she got a prenup

Because that's what American society taught them

Dating dynamics are a joke in 2025. Lots of women with gold digging mentalities but very little to show for it.

Actually aren't Black women more likely to date in their race even with a man of less education? At least in Gen X and early Millenials. Also, the income imbalance in a lot of these relationships isn't as skewed as you think. I know a HR girl married to a plumber and he brings in substantially more than her with better job security.

I will say though, this is a question for women of all races since now all women of all races have more degrees than men.

I mean White and Asian women are going after the dudes in Finance working at Wall Street not the plumber or electrician.
Actually now that I think more about it, I would say Black women are more likely to choose the plumber guy more than other races of women.

They are lol. I mean aren’t there constant discussions about BW choosing bummy dudes over nerdy educated brehs lol?

 

[EndDomination]

I don’t think they do.

I also don’t think there is any evidence of Black women with bachelors degrees or above dating blue collar Black men at any lower rate than other races and ethnicities.

 

[Burned Verses]

Lying about them being the most educated inflated a lot of their egos

from what i see when these chicks call into the kevin samuels/kendra g shows, i chalk it up to hypergamy..and it's more of a status thing than the money, some of these women make about the same amount of money as some of the blue collar dudes lol super weird
