Comment on The bittersweet cocktail of ambition and love: why driven women can’t date men with no ambition by aulelia

You make a lot of really astute points especially about wanting a man to have intelligent conversations with and this is the thing, that is just so hard to find. Do you find it easy to date, thewickedwoman? I just want a man who has drive and ambition but is going out there to get what he wants as well.

I feel you, sistah woman. Black women in the States have the same problem. We want someone who has ambition and drive, not to mention intelligence that at least matches our own. The thing is, there just aren’t many appropriate black men available. There is a very high rate of incarceration and death among black males here. Far more black women graduate from college than black males. The men who do graduate often want a trophy girlfriend/wife. More and more, black women are dating men from other ethnic groups. Frankly, even though I am mostly lez, I can say that black men, in general, aren’t worth the aggravation. Perfectly straight businesswomen will say the same thing. Of course, there are exceptions, thank goodness. But all the single women of all races are after them. With straight women it’s kill or be killed. It never ceases to amaze me.

Arh thank you for the mention, had to do a double take for a minute as I was just reading innocently! Love this pic.

My hair is at that length at the moment, and it just reminds me that I can be natural and be cute! The pink skirt is also fierce!

Comment on Postponing Goals: Is This Good or Bad? by aulelia

Postponing goals happens so often and I totally understand why because the pressures of work and life can get in the way.
