When black women aire their issues about why they’re single and can’t find a man on public television what do women of other races think of the issues black women claim to face?
@willia3r The catch about traditional is that both parties have to be willing to play the traditional gender roles. Now if you want a wife who is basically a trophy wife thats fine, but the males role is to be the breadwinner and decision maker. Now if you cant fulfill both of those requirements, then you dont deserve a traditional wife and vice versa for women. In todays economy thats a little hard to do, rarely can u raise a family of four off of one income.
I’m confused by your statement: You said you and your friends were looked over by black men in your early 20’s but then you said that all of y’all are married. So obviously you weren’t TOTALLY looked over.
The gist of this video is that older non-black chics are aware that they are past their sell buy date and will be unable to get a man from their own race,so they settle for BM and do whatever they can to please them, hence the reason for these BM being with them and this is a lesson that, BW should learn.This is insulting in so many ways
It seems that you & everyone around you are quite happy and in a long term relationship if not marriage. You seem to have your own answers to the relationship dilemma.
So why feel the need to comment on these issues? Why not spread the secrets of a good relationship to your fellow sistas? Would that not be more effective?
Dead on… How is it that they have all this education but yet they still find themselves in the same raggedy situations. I always thought that education was to fix it so that you sidestepped the pitfalls of others. Obviously, this so called education that they lean on and bring up so heavily is failing them in real world application. To keep doing the same thing and expecting different results isn’t educated its the exact opposite.
What Pinkk said in this video is the same thing I tell other single black women who are in my age group, 25 to 29. They have to take their biological clocks as seriously as they take their education and career paths if getting married and having a family is important to them.
I comment on Pinkks videos because I like what he has to say about a lot of issues.
especially if the older woman is overweight!!
LOL

Sure. My husband is not black and neither is the husband of my best friend.
One of them is in a long term relationship with a black man but he and his parents came here from Nigeria when he was 7
The other is also in a long term relationship with an American born black man.

Care to clear things up on that remark?

Interesting… I shall hope that more women like you take notice of this growing issue in the black community.
It seems that you & everyone around you are quite happy and in a long term relationship if not marriage. You seem to have your own answers to the relationship dilemma.
