Oh its not even a matter of being supurbly fit... sure there is nothing against being fit, but there are an awful lot of urban black women (and frankly poorer white women as well) who just don't give a damne to even try to take care of themselves... I'm not talking an extra 10 or 20 lbs... or hell even 30... there are a lot of em that just frankly are 2-3 times the size they should be.

And I am not talking about the big boned sisters, who truely are just hearty stock.... I know a few of them and they are sexy as hell. They may be large, but they truly are all muscle (well maybe not all... GRIN) I got no problems with a large woman or a large arse, and frankly I do like my women with a little more curve to them than just about anything you are going to see in Cosmo... But if they are just morbidly obese, which is a very real problem in the same communities complaining about their "hair".... that just ain't cutting it.

So let em through a book at me, but between the propensity for the "entitlement" mentality, and the lack of self respect, while having no problem screaming about deserving it... and all the other issues... I just find it amusing how they complain that most of the men with potential won't date them... when its pretty damned obvious the guys with potential recognize that they would quickly rob them of every ounce of it if they got involved with em.


I know its not PC, and it definately does not apply to every urban black woman.. but its definately true enough. Face it, what does a young man on his way up in the world want to be saddled with a 18-20 year old with 2-3 kids that aren't his, and a woman who's world view is that of entitlement? He's got his whole life ahead of him, why would he let himself be dragged down by that drama?

Sorry, its rough, but its true.

Truth hurts my friend. I agree with you. Lots of men would agree with you too.
