Hello All,
I was just wondering what was going on with the world. It seems lately that every man I've run across for the past couple of months were either involved but cheating, married but still looking, on the down low, or wasn't even worth the time and effort. Is it a conspiracy or am I loosing my mind? Could I be the only one feeling like this? |

In some places...women outnumber men 8 to 1.
Therefore, it's hard for there to be many single men. They have so many women to PLAY....or, if they're married and faithful, to RESIST.
I know of several GOOD black men who I believe are faithful to their wives. And those wives are black, too. So there is hope.
I've also met some EXCEPTIONALLY nice "white" gentlemen lately (a novelist, an editor, a fireman, a Sparlett's man) and they were all SINGLE and seemed like very, very nice guys. I've talked to them for a few weeks now, in a spotty way (mainly for the attention--because I would NEVER take one of them serious as a dating partner). They really impress me with their kindness and appeal.
But you're right. There are really not many good MEN out there....if you're single, past 35 and looking for REAL LOVE and a genuine relationship.
The demographics, and especially if you're a "sister"...aren't good AT ALL.
But if you have money to TRAVEL...then I can guarantee that you'll be able to find a good man in the Islands or Central America--or if you can accept the sexism--Africa. And if you like white men--there's an OVER ABUNDANCE of them in Europe looking for your type.
It's really just in America that things are so.....discouraging.

Stop looking for a good man. And he will find YOU.

Truth is too many of our men are locked up.
Underemployment also plays a role in why many Black men are not on the market.Men who feel they cannot provide for their potential families generally choose not to settle down and start one.

These hapless brothers may not settle down, but they do start families. And the children they father are apparently the ones who end up in prison since, according to statistics, about 95 percent of the young black men in prison were born to single mothers. |
