Who says that? Have I said that? First of all, I don't read Terry McMillan books bc I can't stand them and I don't join in on "black male bashing" when I can join in on empowering black men. I don't sit around and have chats about "how sorry black men are," because it's a WASTE of time and I don't think they are all sorry at all. Ain't nothing better than an educated, ambitious, black man and for those reasons I CHOSE not to date outside of my race. I'm far too confident to worry about sorry men. There are some, but I don't focus on them. I pay attention to those that are trying to do for themselves. Period. So save your narrow minded, generalized, ignorant statements for those it applies to brotha, because it ain't me...lol. I have been hurt sooo many times just like any other woman, but I use those as lessons and not reasons to be bitter. Hence why I LUV my life now...you need to get a grip brotha, bc apprently you've been burnt and can't repair the wounds...

If a man is looking for somebody to sleep with then sure. But I would go out on a limb and bet that most men - ESPECIALLY "successful" men - looking for a long term relationship consider much more than looks when looking for a woman.

Personally, I'm over looks. Though I've noticed an interesting phenomenon where marginally-attractive women like to blame their lack of success with men on men being caught up on looks when the reality is that they just aren't that interesting.
