I would be lying if I said that I'm never approached by black men with college degrees. Sometimes I am. However, I would say that because these men know that they're "rare", they may be more likely to have egos and entitlement issues than educated black women. A non-black guy with a 4-year degree doesn't suddenly think he's God's gift to women because he knows it's a very basic achievement and doesn't mean that he's now entitled to HALLE BERRY. lol
I agree. There are Black men walking around that love the "desperate" black woman theme. They do get an Ego out of it and believe any Black woman is lucky to be talking too them.
The more Black women that do look at other options will help curb their Ego.
I don't think they are pressured. For the most part, white men and black women generally have very little in common.
Well I don't have to 'think' I know. Black families and white families DO pressure their relatives to stay in the same race. I have seen it from both sides, so don't know what you're talking about there. And I disagree that we have very little in common, not sure how you can even make that assertion.
This is the case of LOTS of women who graduate from college (city, state, private, ivy league, or for profit). They think because they have a degree, all of a sudden they are entitled to the top 1% by default. They forget that the core of dating is attraction. An ugly fat chick with a degree is still an ugly fat chick, but with a degree. It does not turn you into Cinderella. Your degree enhances you, not your overall attractiveness in terms of core looks. In a club a guy is not saying "Oh wow, that PhD is HOT". Same with men.
As I've said multiple times, a woman's degrees or level of education have nothing to do with the men she can pull

Yes, because everyone knows that to be authentically black, one must identify strongly with the ghetto and see themselves as part of a monolithic down-trodden shared black experience.
ooookay? Where did all of that come from. lol
I grew up on Long Island and went to predominately white schools my entire life. So please drop the poor elitist black mantra please. Nobody wants to live in a Ghetto. Even the people living there.
Nobody said anything about who or who wasn't authentic Black. Next you will probably bring up that people have always claimed you talk "white". This isn't therapy.

Seriously. It insults me if someone thinks that I should be falling at their feet or something, and I won't deal with that.

I'm simply pointing out that my definition of the "black community" is different than others. My community consist of those who are family and in my inner circle; not a group of strangers, who happen to share the same skin tone.
