I am going to college to make more money, not for a title. I think that most people in our community base a person's value on education;it is because of the legacy of slavery. The value of a person, come from within and from life experiences, not what type of degree they have. Let's keep it real, many blacks obtain PHD's for prestige, they want someone to call them Dr. this, Dr. that. Why do you need a PHD, if you are not going to become a professor. Nothing wrong with getting an education, but when you obtain it, remain humble, don't start correcting your family members English, or refusing to eat moma's collard greens and fried chicken and sweet potato pie, because you know you want some, lol. Stop putting so much emphasis on the letter s. You better eat the food at the family reunion. Man,I am hungry. I am a southern girl(Georgia), so that is why I mentioned fried chicken, if not fried, baked or broiled,and yes, seasoned with seasoning salt. Let me go eat.

I like guys who are a little bit nerdy but still socially adept. Those types of guys usually pursue higher education. So while a degree isn't necessarily a requirement for me to date a guy I find that the types of guys who I am attracted to happen to have degrees.

You're married but your post reads like your mad as hell. So you come on a board reminding black women why they just can t get it right, sounds like a a great catch and an even better husband.

Not only must a woman find a man, she now has to find a man with a degree, no kids, attractive, over 6ft tall and one who's WILLING to settle down with them. That limits you to about 5% of the black male population. The other eligible 10% with those stats already date white women. God help you if your not a dime. Over thirty you can forget it. Soon your going to start believing what you are already telling yourself. I don't really need a man. Women make this much more difficult than it has to be. HNIC nailed it. keep your fat ass in shape… and remember the 3 main things that you have to do to keep any man no matter who he is Sex Food Space #1 and #3 are the most important. Good Luck. Wow.
