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

financial reasons is the number one cause.
Any money related issues can’t be because Man are spending women’s money wildly.
Women buy way more frivolous shyt than Men Stuff for women costs more than stuff for Men.

A man is happy with a TV, bed, toilet and fridge

A woman wants a California bed, toilet that will wash and wipe your ass, a 150 inch tv, a fridge that will automatically open and pass you a drink and other shyt..,

This is why black marriages fail because like u said frivolous shyt women buy because they have their high income and in they minds they can go out and buy anything

Let’s keep it real

fukking/dating happens all the time with college educated sisters with blue collar dudes or even the hustlers/players dope boys..

The main thing is marriage which isnt happening

Leave the celebrities out of this because they live in a different world

But a ton of educated sisters are not out here marrying blue collar dudes and a lot has to do with their perception others will think of them and they circle and the fear the blue collar brother dont have money and wont be able to do anything and she has to spend all her money…

That part comes from her being raised by her mother who made bad selection in men
Low key I’ve always dated low key Boule Birds granted there’s a class issue because I’d say what’s on my mind and tend to be frank in situations that call for discretion but that’s because I want to know things

For example I was in the Studo Museum in Harlem with my girl who wanted to go and a young Khinde Wiley was in there exhibiting his work.

Dude had pictures of Black Men with sperm cells around them.

I thought he was either suggesting that these guys where gay or he was gay and this is what he wanted to do.

Even I didn’t ask him that. But he had a few pictures of what was clearly Puff Daddy with sperm cells around him so I literally ask asked him Why did he use Pictures of the Shiny Suit Man and what was up with the Sperm cells?

Dude looked a little taken aback and said “That’s not Puff”. But the sperm cells was about the oversexualition of Black Men and boys.

the docent pulled me aside and said for legal reasons he couldn’t say it was Puff.

My girl couldn’t believe I asked him that and she didn’t know that People called Puff the Shiny Suit Man.
Besides that I was reluctant to try certain restaurants and shyt.

There’s a cool Moorocan Place in Downtown DC the food was actually decent but they presented it like it was an Arab feast. Shorty invited me to a welcome home dinner. I was fresh off the plane with Key Leader Engagements Guzzling Tea and eating Flat bread with Aghani leaders so and I was annoyed so I claimed to be getting flashbacks so we could leave early.

I just didn’t want all the extra shyt at dinner.

You think highly educated white-collar women are coming from broken homes? :dwillhuh:

:mjpls:

This is a crazy statement I know plenty of sisters that bust their ass in school and went on to do white collar work

Especially millennial black women as they’re were an abundance of grants available to them to use for college

You think every black woman at college comes from a 2 parent household?

Or perhaps you think people from broken homes are lesser than or something huh ?

I'm sorry for the generalization it's just what I see (mainly online) :hubie: 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.

Respectfully
Blue collar men with great jobs/earnings want to build something with a good woman, but they're more likely to have to date down economically because the only women making $$$$ are college educated.

College educated women either grew up with a blue collar dad, no dad or a white collar dad. For whatever reason, they don't feel like they'd be compatible with a blue collar man. Why? Hard to say....

Men will date down in terms of education AND economics if the woman checks off every box. Women will not unless they themselves can't get anything better. Example - a woman that's a chunky "5" with a decent job....she's not attracted to men on her level but she can't pull men above her level, so she settles for a tall/handsome couch-surfer.

Some of y'all just be saying anything :mjlol:.

Secondly, what exactly do you mean by “blue-collar”, which could mean anything? There are different tiers to blue-collar jobs.

Maybe Gen Z Black women feel a certain way about men working these professions; I say that because they're the ones most likely influenced by social media, dating shows, etc, that exaggerate what the dating world really is for the average person walking down the street.

Black women, a part of the Gen X and Millennials crowd, are more open-minded, dating men working these types of jobs, along with having their own place and showing signs that he's well kept in terms of living, y'know, not looking or moving around like a bum. The main attraction for them is that he has a job/career, glimpses of being educated don't have to be a PhD, Bachelor's, or anything extravagant like that but rather just showing he has intellect/intelligence, and most importantly a place of his own, which these days, being a Black man with those qualities things usually will put you in the upper tier of men.

A lot of these questions y'all be asking are generational dependent and kinda show the cultural divide between the generations.

Can’t brag about their job title during brunch / dinners.

Because that's what American society taught them
This is the answer. Blue collar is physically and (can be) logistically demanding so it's not valued.
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.
The income doesn't mean as much to them without the status supplementing.
Where you from breh?:comeon:

In the south, the white nurse/teacher and tradesman is so common its damn near a stereotype.
That's two blue collar people together. Granted, the woman is "educated" but that's not the class generally thought of in this discussion.

Also, the South doesn't speak for everyone.

we have to keep it real BBL smell is a thing. Big Booty women need Bidets, Baby wipes Boric Acid suppositories and perfumes when they take a shyt.

There was a thread on why women use so much Toilet paper because a woman with a 50 inch ass and short arms is gonna need a shower everytime she shyts.

It costs a lot to be a woman.

Not to mention hair there’s general hair maintenance even for natural hair.

My assistant wants me to buy her a wig for her birthday shyt costs 200 bucks.

Shorty is barely employed and she wants to spend it all on a wig when she can barely cover rent

Again frivolous shyt.

yes, because #bidetgang is a thing in the salon... not the locker room :mjlol:
Tell it all women’s PH balances be off. It could be because of Raw dogs like me but I shower after every smash

Even some condoms fukk up PH balances then there’s her diet and stress levels

But nikkas want big asses and it comes with a cost and that cost is baby wipes.

There is a generational gap because a lot of what you're expressing is a concession made by Black women after getting to a certain age/stage.

That "open-mindedness" wasn't quite there in 1998 for the core X woman or 2013 for the core Millennial woman.

Millennial women are also just as socially warped as Gen Z especially the second half of them.
