Yes, but life exists in generalities. I have an aunt who is Thai, has a fourth grade education, and she owns a bar. Yes, she married my uncle because he's a nice white GI, but she's a hardworking person. It's not a question of being intelligent or having a PhD. It's a matter of having this drive to say, "I want to be successful for my own sake." If that means Bob notes he's interested in being an electrician and goes to vocational school, foregoing Yale, good for Bob. If he's also a well-rounded invidual, I'll be interested in Bob possibly. You're right on there are smart people in every walk of life, but I know for me what I look for in a romantic partner is not what I look for in a friend or what I expect from family. And I can only speak for me. Do I have lofty expectations for romantic partners? Probably, but that hasn't let me down when I've actively tried to meet people. Everyone has their own arbitrary standards. Maybe you only date women with red highlights, and you have a very defined argument for that. Statistically, it's shown that people on the same economic class level to start have more successful marriages than when there's a great disparity. All things being equal, I think it's one of the most important things. If I marry a janitor happily, I invite you to the wedding to come and laugh. Not saying it's impossible, just improbable.
You and me are here on that, she has a bad view on us nerds and geeks. Some of us are very outgoing and can share world views. She calls us bitter when it seems like she is the bitter one.
Interesting points. So all things being equal love is rooted in economics as well as sentimetn and emotions?
I have to agree with the Brothers here. And along the lines with erictbrown1, hell I'm a Black ass nerd to the hilt, lol. But when it comes to White Women, all I attract are the fine White Women. There is an assumption that the Black nerd can only pull a fat or ugly White Woman. And I laugh, because my history says a complete different story. Hell the Woman I'm married to looks awesome. But if you let insecure ass Black people tell the story, we all get fat White Women. At least the heavier White girls are nice, with no trace of the sistahood. But here's the truth: most of those ladies on the other side are heavy as hell. Beasts. And that's what the average Brother is stuck with dating. I ran into some good looking Brothers who work in grocery stores, they bring their lady around, and she looks like a damn beast. And I'm like "what the hell is going on". But they think we who are working in the sciences get the unnattractive girls. This is the way I feel: if you're going to date only Black, then you're going to be stuck with what Black Women say that you should be attracted to. They get to sex who they want, when they want. But you Brothers better be happy with them scraps. And love them big-ass scraps. Like they're a super model. LOL. Because after all, every Black Woman is beautiful. And why are you wasting your (resources) on that White girl, when you'd be perfect for some pretty Black Woman's behemoth cousin?
Man you owe me a bottle of water for that post HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH And what I don't understand if they don't want us corn ball nerds why do they care who we date? Can someone please answer that question for me?:smt102:smt102
yeah it is tuff. for me i have yet to date a ww because of that line. But I am dropping that fear (sorta speak) because in the end happiness is what it is all about. so you have to take the NO's to enjoy the YES's
John Stallworth owned an consulting firm in huntsville alabama and then there is roger staubach (1970's and 80's cowboys quaterback). Robert Smith former vikings running back has a degree in medicine if im not mistaken. for the most part you are on the money. the dumb jock is over stated.
like someone stated earlier it is about control. women not just bw are selfish and are hypocrites. when a bm dates a ww they get mad see essence with reggie bush but when a bw dates a wm nothing is said from the bw or the bm.
I know this is going to sound dumb as s**t but how approaching a ww at store versus a sista isnt the same but less "swagga" but a little more sensitivity because of the line. understand what im saying? I mean how do cross without crossing the scaring them line?
I did not see the essence article . what month was it ? I did see the cnn interview. in the cnn interview she stated that oversees she did not have a "problem" with IR because they dont have the history of racism like they do here. when she is here she cringes because she believes we should have some partnership. well partnership goes both ways. they like to do slick sh*T to the bro's and when we get tired of it they scream foul. all we want is peace.
Its pretty much the same except she talks about wincing every time a good brotha is with a ww. Really lame shit.
yeah. sistas ( well let me rephrase that because sistas dont back stab.) women like her need to mature. I hate to call her a woman because she has not fully evolve in certain areas yet.
