Sorry, but I have to agree with the guys on part of this. A great deal (not all) of black women have a really snotty attitude, and it gets worse once they obtain an education. My little sister is a prime example. She’s always been materialistic, snobby, and just a plain B! Now that she’s got a degree she’s even worse than before, and she acts as if no man is good enough to be with her unless he’s 6ft tall, and wealthy! We don’t get along because I’m the exact opposite. I’m single because my guy cheated on me – but when I’m with a guy I let him be a man. Even though I’m usually more intelligent than the men I attract, I don’t mind. My sister is the type of black woman that thinks I am weak because I like to let my guy be the head of the house. And I don’t care what he earns or where he works, as long as he’s faithful, doesn’t hit me, treats me well, and loves me.

Why is the media so obsessed with Black women being married? is it our job as female human beings to want to be married from the age of 5 dreaming about a dream wedding? just because Black women aren’t getting married as fast as everyone else who gives a sh!t? seriously. There are more things to life than getting married and having babies? are we in the 1950s I don’t think so. It doesn’t mean they are selfish it means they just don’t have time or aren’t ready or don’t want to be. Marriage is not for everyone, not everyone on this earth is going to settle down and pop out kids. Diane Keaton and Al Pacino have never been married EVER. Marriage is not for everyone so get over it. In America 50% of marriages end in divorce so why rush into marriage to end up like everyone else? it’s not always good to strive to be like everyone else. Some women don’t want to marry at the drop of a hat and have it end faster than you can say I DO. I like when they write articles like this it basically puts Black women down for not being married. NEWS FLASH, 50 PERCENT OF MARRIAGE IN AMERICA END IN DIVORCE. Need I say more?

You took the words right out of my mouth! YES, black successful women are too busy throwing their degrees in a mans face they forget to throw a steak and some mashed potatoes on their plates, they forget to clean the house a little bit, they forget to play dress up at night, they forget to support their men rather than bring them down with the constant nagging and negativity. So what you have a MBA and PHD. A man can’t make love to a piece of paper and damn sure can’t eat it. Women are so busy trying to be successful in the business world and define their role that they forget to be a woman and they forget to define their role at home. There’s nothing wrong with being educated and successful ladies but don’t forget how to be a woman in the process of chasing your dreams.

BM ALWAYS HAVE TO BLAME THE BW FOR HIS SHORT COMING. PLEASE DON’T FORGET THE FACT THAT BW OUTNUMBER BM IN COLLEGE AND WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO NOT WORK AND GO ON WELFARE. BM SHOULD GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND STOP BLAMING EVERYONE FOR THEIR FAILURES. I HAVE SAID IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN BW SHOULD JUST DATE/MARRY OUT. MY HUSBAND IS WHITE AND I MET MY HUSBAND IN COLLEGE AND HE DID NOT HAVE HAVE TO CHANGE HIS CULTURE TO BE WITH ME. MOST WM THAT DATE/MARRY BW DON’T IMMEDIATELY BECOME BLACK BUT MOST WW THAT MARRY BM ARE GHETTO ACTING THE SAME THING THAT BM SAY THEY HATE IN BW THEY GO OUT AND GET IN WW.

What’s wrong with being single?

No one to answer to
No ego to soothe
No explanations about money or whereabouts
No compromise

It’s pure heaven being a single woman.

Sisimizi I don’t know how old you are,but it took thirty years of life before I found my QUEEN.Love is a very serious and wonderful entity to be in,and like Luther Vandross said,”sometimes love takes a long time”.Just be ready when it comes,and don’t be afraid to love with all of your heart.

It’s not about marriage, its about true companionship. Marriage is not for everyone, and successful women don’t want a man “telling” them how they should spend their money…they’re smart enough to know “how” and “what” to spend it on so they make more money. It’s really about living your best life without external interference.
