Re: Just had a discussion with a couple of Friends about the state of black relations
I would say there are a lot of woman who choose to be single. There are a certain % of woman who feel If you can't provide them with a fantasy lifestyle, then why get married. There are also a certain % who refuse to cater to a man, who detest the idea of submission, yet they are turned off by a compromising man. So they stuck in a limbo of frustration...
I've met a few of these. These women usually accept that what they are looking for is not going to happen because the entire picture is unrealistic or they have some conflicting issues.
You know what the problem is? Its actually really simple.
What is the problem? What do black relationships fail? I'm sure my theory can be applied to other races as well but here it is.
Lack of Substance.
Think about it. View this from the eyes of a hobby less, boring, no life person. Say you have a person that gets up and goes to work. They might turn on a black radio station and listen to music as they make the drive. They get to work and do their job. Occasionally they talk about others relationships and what they will be doing that weekend. When they get home, all they watch is music videos, black comedy, and well that's about it.
The weekend comes or if they can't wait, they go to a club looking for the right connection. They meet that person because they look good to them. They don't have any hobbies or substance about them so they don't look for it. Usually the other person is exactly the same way. After a few dates, if that, the two of them ignorantly thrust themselves into a relationship. They have absolutely nothing in common, any hobbies or substances and individuals, and are completely boring but do not realize it.
Time sets in.
This can vary from a day to years. Boredom starts to show its face because they only do four events together. Those events are home life, eating, some dining, and sex. Conflicts start involving all kinds of stuff because there was no dating period or getting to know each other. Not to mention, there is no substance or hobbies between them to really tie the two together. Eventually, one of the two will fall back into the old routine of clubbing or events that involve the opposite sex. Boredom compounded with ongoing problems fed by a new desire for something that is better leads to infidelity.
The relationship ends.
The cycle simply starts over with someone else!
Think I'm wrong? Think of your current relationship, past ones, friends, or family members love life. Do they have any thing in common? Do anything together? Any hobbies? Any likes? Anything they both enjoy other than basic stuff? Did they get to know each other?
Substance.
Its the glue that holds relationships together when all of the initial flare goes away. That along with just taking the time to find out if a woman is a fit for you. After a man has determine what he wants and if can honestly tell himself that he has something to offer a woman.
This is the main reason I crack up when I read posts from young idiots on this forum asking if dating is still done.
