This morning on Atlanta’s Top Radio Station V-103, the conversation is ABC’s 42% of Black Women never being married. (That we discussed last week). The morning host Frank Ski, has a panel of women in the studio to discuss why they are single, if they are lowering standards to meet the right guy, and expectations.
As I watch the streaming live and read the chat comments on the right, I am instantly entertained and saddened. Immediately I notice a male disrespecting the women in the studio. One guy implies that one of them looks like a bird, another is fat, and that none of them look professional. I wonder if he is even sure what the topic is- because he later types- why didn’t they have any women in there who have been married and who have been through some stuff??? (Clearly because the topic is the percentage of women who have not been married)
Give me a minute please; I am still stuck on some of these loser comments on the chat box.
Ok, in my opinion I really feel that the search for a mate has become something other than a search for love. It seems as if people have some unrealistic expectations of the mates that they are in search of. You have a heavy weight lover only willing to accept a Beyonce type, and you have a 300 credit score seeking a 750 credit score or better. Why do you think that either person better off would want you, if your duck aren’t in a row? (Some do, just a question)
What happened to a love like James and Florida Evans? They were regular looking, and they were broke together. They made it work; they stuck together through it all.
*** I think the most profound statement I heard, was one of the ladies stated that the important thing is for a man to be willing to learn each woman’s needs. Every woman might not want her door opened so it may not be necessary whereas, I will get to the door first and stand there. (Because it’s important to me, and he understands that)
Another well thought out point made by a gentleman on the chat box was that a credit scores only tell you he can handle his money, not that he knows how to be a husband or a father!!! (In response to one of the in studio women saying she looks for a FICO score)
I heard someone say people need to realize the curve. There is a chart, apparently. The more attractive a man is the lower his relationship skills are. Because he is used to women throwing themselves at him, so he doesn’t have to be a strong communicator, and he is too pretty to want to do real work. Then there is another guy, who is less attractive and he has numerous skills, such as making a woman laugh, because he’s had to work harder to gain the attention of women.
Stay tuned for part 2
Hmm, wow this drives me silly. I’m 14, born to a black mom and white dad, and I think that black women are single is because they try to look for a good black man and it is not much around since we have silly fools, 2 not most men white, asian or whatever are attracted to black women (majority), 3 black men don’t make good commitments
Im not putting down nor black women or black men but this is the actual case
plus most americans dont get married these days
commitment is valueless in our country
where as in india being married is everything
