Look, she can date who she wants to date. I'm not trying to change her mind. I'm not vilifying her for not dating working class black men. I just take issue with people, such as the OP, who think others are "beneath" them. We all age, get sick and eventually die. We are, by no means, a perfect species. Know that life also happens to these "professional" men. I truly wonder how she would react if said guy ended up in a situation where she'd have to be the sole breadwinner.
I'm just curious if you have ever dated an obese woman, or a woman with multiple children? If not, why? Many of them are wonderful women and should not be excluded from your dating pool.

Take a look at the video below.


Subaru - Moral Support - YouTube

It captures the essence of what I am looking for in a man. Is it too much to ask?
I enjoyed that commercial. I could certainly fall in love with someone so endearing.

What about personality? For most women in NYC personality of a man they like goes out the window regardless of race, class or educational attainment!

Plenty of these women are out of a brother's league too, so what are you really saying?

I often at times ask women about happiness in their mates, many do not end up happy due to being happy for the wrong reasons which eventually burns out. When a woman tells me that she wants to be happy in life, I tend to believe that she has shallow complex or some neurotic issue, especially women here in NYC. Me personally I don't want to be happy because happiness burns out and die and turns into anger and pretentiousness. Me I would prefer to be content.

I love the way he loves her. He is there every step of the way.

What a strange post. I did not realize desiring love, respect and acceptance made me shallow and neurotic.

It was not addressed.

Really? It's clear that you are attracted to white guys, but not Jude Law? You're one in a million.

Not that, for some women they desire good looks, or z man with money or an amazing career. Im not saying you are, but this is what I encountered from some women regardless of race, class or even educational attainment. But overall I agree with what you want in your key elements. You sound like a very genuine woman!
