They reside in Whales.

Far too many black women in the U.S. have internalized the negative messages and actually believe that they are unworthy of solid/long term commitments and marriage.
Not just that blacks in general are competing directly with whites and other races now so how whites usually get together its the same for blacks these days. The old days we got together out of fear since segregation was so high we knew we had to make it work these days those days and standards are long gob. Black men who historically were blue collar are now being asked to become white collar and educated to succeed in life and black women have been liberated and are excelling a a result educationally and can't find a suitable man or someone who's able to provide.

It's a adjusting period for black Americans.

It's not that black women aren't desired, it's just there's less quality black men to go around. Many black women want to marry a black man, just as a white woman usually wants to marry a white man. When you have less quality to sift from within your own race, you have to start venturing outside of it.
They were desired40 years ago but today.... Not so much, it's gonna be a issue because the bar has been raised higher for blacks as a whole.

People should date or marry who they want. It's just silly that some feel the need to make excuses and blame black women. If you want a biracial chick, Asian or white.. get it.
What you just stated is a good example of how blacks are separated. Some if us feel the other half is either lazy or just worthless or too picky with too high of a standard.

I'm sure rate thinks sisters are attractive he probably doesn't care for what he considers attitude. In a sense it's actually quieter outside the cafe than inside, less drama is involved usually.

The bar has definitely been raised. Along with the raising of that bar, black men are looking for more from black women as well. When the black men don't see that within their own race, they seek outside of it.

Education, career, pay, lifestyle, etc. etc. As a society we are having children much later and chasing our dreams and aspirations before settling down. If you aren't ready to get on the ride then you will likely get passed up.

Men have never been picky with choosing women, as long as she's a good woman to him he usually has no problem with her. I think men prefer women to shut up overall rather than to constantly nag. Black men like most men don't expect much whatever you see black men want women have been wanting that before.
