also…this view is a little controversial, but frankly there are a good number of black women who feel like we shouldn’t have to “settle for less” ie, marry an average working class black man, so really there is also an undercurrent of classism at play here.

Black men, by and large, who are successful, tend to want the kind of woman of their arm who can “impress” everyone around him. Since most successful black men tend to work in places where the dominant, ie “white” culture is the accepted norm, they tend to choose women who look like the women displayed in magazines geared towards white men like Details and Maxim.

Because many black women are still firmly rooted in the idea of “family” and what their “family” will think of their mate, and because of the incredible financial burden that is on many black women’s shoulders, plus the fact that black women have added stresses that other women do not, it simply creates the desire in black women to find someone who will look good at their family reunions AND help them financially AND who can relate to the problems of being a black person. You don’t really want to come home to someone you feel you can’t relate to, do you? I don’t think anyone wants that.

It’s sad that many black women seem to be in a quandary because of these reasons…and there are other reasons too but if i get into all that i’ll be writing for days, lol but all in all it’s an incredibly frustrating place to be for women in that situation.
