Why are career women single???

http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/26232/Why-(black)-career-women-are-most-of-the-time-single

Hey you guys, read this. My girl sent me this because she thought I would find this interesting...and of course I did. So, basically this article explains why career women are single. It says that successful women are single because they are perceived to either not need a man due to their success or simply because they are waiting for someone who is on their level.

I definitely agree with this. Women out number men, I believe 51%-49% in this country. Not to mention we live longer. So, of the 49% of men in this country, it seems that the gay population is ever growing (seems like that, but who knows), then you add in unemployed, under-employed, uneducated, or in jail...after all of that no wonder educated women can't find a man...shit I bet regular women can't either.

Do I feel that men feel inferior??? Maybe to a degree. I try to steer clear of a men like that. I make sure that I make that crystal clear. I have a fairly strong personality and I figure that if you can't handle my personality then maybe u should kick rocks. I definitely don't want a man that I can push around..lol

But in general I have come in contact with men that appreciate an educated woman, but they are also educated themselves. And they would have it no other way, but I have also had my share of idiots. I have had someone say "why do I need to be educated...shit I'm already making millions playing football?"...I will leave this person's name out..

But tell me what you think. Men are u intimated by a strong women? Do u prefer an ignorant woman (pet/puppet) that does your every will...

Don't be afraid..you can be anonymous....lol

"I Don't Date Dark-Skinned Women" --- ???

So, the other day, my girl and I was talking and she told me that a guy told her that he doesn't date dark skin women. I found this to be crazy. What is wrong with these men??

I have seen this type of behavior before personally when it comes to hair length. But my question is should this simply be called preference?? I mean this definitely seems to be a bit of self hate, as my girl J put it. The interesting thing is that mostly dark skin guys, from my experience, are the ones saying this ridiculous stuff.

Next question: if I say that I don't date fat men, am I discriminating?? Or is that just considered normal? Or if someone says that they don't date skinny girls??

My friend's experience of just one of the sort I have heard recently. I have had guys tell me also they don't date dark skinned women and I found myself thinking they were extremely ignorant and was reminded of the profound reminisce from slavery when the slaves treated lighter slaves better than the darker ones.

I don't know maybe I'm over thinking this one? Who knows?

What do u think?

Where are all the cute great educated men of the World / Country??

Can the usual statement of “there are no good men left” be used in this day and age?

I think like most educated women of the US, finding a good man seems almost impossible. There is always a catch, underlining problem, or the timing is simply off. Can you have your cake and eat it too. I know for myself I have had more than my share of loser guys. I mean a new batch seems to be dispersed every year. So where all the good guys at? And if we knew a good one could we spot him? I definitely don't know. I had a good one and moved and didn't know when I would return. I returned sooner than later. So, does that mean we should automatically get back together? I don't necessarily think that is the case. If you were in love back then, does that automatically mean that as soon as you see that person your going to fall back madly in love with this person??

I have started a new thing with new men I meet. I find out their 5 year plan. Is that a bit too much? I figure that I am getting to old to be dealing with scrubs. I have a 5 year plan, so they should have one too. I am educated and about to go to law school and I have to be around someone that is on my level

Men...

Am I going overboard? I don't think so... Men let me know

Parents Just Don't Understand

Why does it suck so badly to move back home?

I mean its like parents don’t listen. They’re hard of hearing. I’m asked to do something. Sure, let’s get that done. Or I’ve explained why it can’t be done immediately, but once I’m able to do so, I most definitely will. SO why is it 2 days later or sometimes the next day parents ask you to do the very same things you just spend 20mins explaining the previous day. Is it early set on of Alzheimer’s or is it simply they don’t listen.

This is definitely something that needs to be fixed. I don’t know how to do so, but someone needs to figure it out. I guess sometimes valuable information falls on deaf ears.

Changing life directions

So, how do you know when to close one chapter in your life and be begin another? I mean does a light suddenly click in your head or you have a sudden awakening? I mean I've been doing track and field all my life. It's all I've known for the past 10yrs or so. I've run professionally for 3yrs. Its been quite challenging financially and I've lost the love for it. I've always wanted to help people and wanted to go to law school to work at the United Nations.

So why is saying goodbye to track so difficult? I wonder if I am thinking about what other people may said about me calling it quits. But I don't believe I am. And of course everyone has an option on the matter. Some people say, "Can you live with this decision?" and others say "Good, go for it!"

Well, I think its time to call it quits. I have just been doing personal training at a gym. This has allowed me to keep my passion for people's health and awareness. So, that has been great!!

And I've been doing some research for different law schools. This process makes me so nervous. I'm guessing this is how people usually feel when they embark on a new quest in life. It's been super exciting. I have started applications for over 10 schools so far. And now enrolled in a Kaplan LSAT course. It's unbelievable how much they charge for those things. I mean $1299-$1499 for course classes. Ridiculous...Oh the price of the HOPE for success (hopefully that makes sense).

Maybe I am so nervous and that is why I am debating quitting track? Maybe this is to be expected? I really don't know. I guess I will find out..

What do you think??
