Friday night Jacque Reid participated in a Nightline taping "Why Can't a Successful Black Woman Find a Man?"which is scheduled to air April 21st. I am guessing it is a follow up to the one that aired a few months ago, I'm not sure. Check it out ....
Last I checked many unsuccessful black women are having a hard time too but I will tackle one subject at a time. Because for one thing, everyone has his or her own opinion of success is anyway. Which is another subject we'll discuss later as well. There are just too many ways to go with this. But I will start with my basics.
Where are you looking Successful Black Woman? And what are you looking for? Please do not give the carbon copy answer....A man of God, smart, funny, sensitive (are you kidding?) tall, handsome blah blah blah.
Riddle me this. From your list of "must haves", and I know you have one, do you hold the same attributes? And if so who says?
Let me sum this up because I know a couple of my buddies reading this have ADD...(I love you too) The bottom line to me is there are many men out there, many good and available men out there. I think for once we should start at the roots.
Here is a quick list of where some of the problems are with this whole situation.
1. Not knowing what you want in the first place
2. Judging based on YOUR success
3. Have unreasonable standards emphasis on unreasonable
4. Not knowing what you want in the first place....you know I like repeating myself. Don't trip.
5. Being wrongfully influenced by society and others, usually people who aren't in a relationship and haven't been in a while.
How does the saying go 'show me a good man and I will show you a woman who doesn't see him'.
