Why Black Women Are Alone Book

Has anybody read this book? I've read it about 3 times it really is good and not anti-black as many of you might think it is.

oh...really...???

 

if the truth be told there are just as many ww alone...possibly more...for some of the same reasons and many different reasons...if all these bw and ww are alone then something tells me that there are also bm and wm that are also alone...wow what a revelation...good thing someone wrote this book or we would have never known:smt037

 

Maybe many black men OUTGROW black women.

Don't get me wrong, I love black women as well as white women but one tend to get tired of hearing "I can do bad by myself" or "I don't need a man".

Many black women chase black men out of their arms and into willing white women.

 

Maybe those bw, ww, bm and wm CHOOSE to be alone.

 

^^^^^^then why contradict yourself...first you tell why bm are not with bw...then you say it's a choice:smt045

 

People of both genders and of all races and ethnicities go through some lonely times.
There are plenty different reasons for a person to be single or to feel lonely.
I woulnd't read such a book about why black women are lonely...

 

Such a stupid notion for a book. You could easily write why bm are alone.

 

Lol and that would be generalizing everything just to the same degree

 

I see a lot of dancing around the issue in this thread. But I call things as I see them.

Black women are in a damn tight spot; the proportion of WM men who find them attractive is far lower than corresponding numbers of WW who find BM's attractive. That, because - they simply aren't as physically appealing, overall, nor as feminine in personality. So, they are competing with WW for BM's - and losing badly.

Secondly, a lot of them are up in arms about the strong reluctance of their menfolk to commit to matrimony and fatherhood, in addition to the inevitable anger most non-whites in the west feel from a lifetime being treated by people as a minority, as an exception. I think this anger corrodes what little femininity they have, thus creating a vicious circle.

Both form a very harsh dating pool for BW, look at how many BM/WW couples there are, and how few WM/BW's. I've seen all this with my own eyes since the 80's, don't tell me I need a book to figure this out.

 

God help me but I'm replying to you again.

If we take, as a given, that Black Women are alone in a way that is unique or unusual compared to Women of other races or Black Men (and that is clearly not an agreed point amongst the people of this board), I submit that this has absolutely nothing to do with their physical attractiveness or Black Men's willingness to marry in general.

There are men all over this board who are looking for wives, or who have already found them. I met a Black Man who had no problem getting married, and he married me some time ago.

Black Men do not express any unique or unusual reluctance to commit to matrimony, when they find a woman they want to spend their lives with.

Likewise, there is nothing unattractive about Black Women. If there was, we wouldn't have photos of them being posted on this board, of all places. If there was, you wouldn't see the White Women on the board cosigning their beauty.

If Black Women are alone, I'm sure there are many men on this board who could speak as to why. It's been discussed on the board many times before. I've weighed in myself.

But I haven't seen anything to support the idea that, if Black Women are lonely, it has anything to do with how physically attractive they are or how willing to marry Black Men are. You are fishing in the wrong pond. Cut bait.

 

I do not believe that there are more single Black women out there than any other race.

I certainly do not think Black women are any less feminine than any other race. Some yes, but I have also seen some pretty masculine white and Asian women too.

These books are just brought out to feed stereotypes and create anger amoungst people, just to grab attention.

 

Hahahahahaha

 

Well I don´t know where I was reading, but yes there is a significant number of black women staying single in the US.
This are mostly educated women who have trouble finding a partner on their level.
Black women are more likely to get a good education then their male counterparts. And like all women ( Thats is human nature) they look for guys with a high status.
Black guys who have higher education are more likely to choose a white woman.
But Black American Women don´t choose WM due to their history. They cannot find a BM who can compete with their status. So they stay alone in much higher rates then white women with a good education.
That is on aspect of lonly black women. there are be others too.

 

Yeah I remember you too. Bygones are bygones, I'm quite happy with that, but I think arguing is just going to upset you again, because given your points above, I honestly don't know where to start - and if I do spend those 30 minutes writing out 2 paragraphs per point, you'll just get annoyed and I'll have lost those 30mins out of my life forever.

So, no hard feelings again I hope, and I do appreciate the time you took to make your points, but let's (re)start on some other topic, please.

 

While it is true that more Black women have degrees than Black men, Black men still earn more $ than Black women on average according to the last U.S. census. Thus, I never bought the whole "I can't find anyone on my level" nonsense. I am a huge proponent of formal (degree) education, however it is not the sole determining factor of a person's knowledge/worth.
