I really don't like your tone as if to MAKE me answer a question. And that you are angry because I didnt...deal with it !
No I didnt neglect to answer any of the questions. I just felt being a BLACK woman, she needed to know the FACTS about the BLACK MALE HIV RATE, rather than MY PERSONAL BUSINESS.
My personal decisions can not affect her life.
Her being aware of the high HIV rate of OUR MEN does.
DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ? If you can read between the lines, you would understand my plight.
If not, then I understand yours. Hmmm.....

adequate said:Well, I'm not sure if this is a serious thread or not but I can't vote. I've been married before but to a black man (for six years) and I won't be marrying the current beau until next summer. We'll be getting hitched here: http://www.naplesbeachhotel.com/resort/catering/weddings.htm
1. No, but will be.
2. Through a mutual friend. He expressed an interest in me and approached me and we exchanged contact information. We talked for a little while and then went on a date. We've been together ever since.
3. Geez. I don't know. Probably not. I'm pretty average. I don't have Beyonce's abs or J Lo's booty. I don't have Amerie's hair or Halle's cheek bones. So I stick with "I'm average" but my baby loves me. Anyway, you can look at my slideshow and you be the judge.
4. I am secure but there's nothing prestigous about my job. I'm a paralegal. Not a big shot or anything like that.
5. Well...guess you'd have to be the judge of that too.
So this is him:

Is this thread being facetious? I answered it sincerely but I don't want our relationship to be the butt of some joke
May I ask where you're getting these facts? If that's the case, why even date black men if white men are so much better?thicknlong said:I hate to be this honest, but women who are married to white men have a greater chance of having the qualities in a man that they want.
I'm not speaking opinion, I'm speaking facts.
This lets us know, I'm not being hard on most of our black men, I'm just putting the facts and reality out there. And most dont want to face it, admit it or think about it because, it's embarrassing.
LocksOfLuV said:3 lines and you got that I was angry outta that?! Ha! If I was angry trust honey you would know it. Believe that! I don't have to subconciously do anything.
But all and all you STILL didn't answer the question. Whatever, I really don't care.
abenyo said:adequate where do you live and does he have a brother, cousin, friend, someone for a single young sister like me?
adequate said:I'm in Charlotte. He has lots of single friends and a really ummm beautiful brother in Wisconsin. I haven't met him in person but I've seen pictures and wooo he's a hottie. But, he has a girlfriend.
I'm gonna tell his momma she should have made more of them.
pinkskates said:The title of this thread is too funny Well since you are bold enough to ask; then I'll answer. My hubby is white; but he's one of the cool ones.
This is too funny

Still didn't get an answer to my 1st question, but I guess that's what happens when folks pull "facts" out of their behinds.
Yea you know? But I guess since white men have a lower HIV infection rate, why use condoms? They're clean and perfect right?

That's 700,000 more men.
700,000 of our men, that any of us on this site, could meet and possibly begin a serious relationship with.
Sorry it hurts, it's a painful fact for me to. I really do hate this is happening, I really do.
But, it is fact darlin.
...as for us black females, in 2005, blacks made up 13% of the population .
only 19% of hiv inf's were white women......
64% were us, black females......
now, wonder where did our beautiful black sisters get this from? I'm just asking shrugs

Blossssom said:Now that's true. The last white married man I had an affair with (almost 10 years ago), kept his wedding ring on even during the act!
pinkskates said:1. My husband is family-oriented to the 100th power. We do everything as a family. And when we are not together, he is constantly checkin in via cell phone, txt msg.,etc... when I take our son ito the rink for his ice skating training, I have to send cell phone pics, and give him a quick call if he lands a jump more than 3 times in a row. And the same goes for when we are at Karate lessons; I could go on and on...
2. He is most respectful of all women; His parents were married for 52 years (dad recently died) and he was taught that you give all of your being to your wife and children. And that's what kind of man I'm married to.
Our quality of life is so blessed! I was raised to believe that I was a little pincess and that once I was ready to settle down, that I was not to settle for anything less then my prince.
Now, I must be honest and admit that this is not my first marriage. My first husband was black. He is a successful attorney, and an ex-electrical engineer; and as fine-looking as they come. And he too was a family oriented man, and very respectful of me and all women. As a matter of fact him and my present husband come from similar
backgrounds. Unfortunately, I was very, very young when I married him; and most immature. I had no business being married, so our marriage quickly fell apart. I think finding a guy with similar goals, morals and principals as yourself is the key to happiness and a quality life.
atlien said:This was a interesting thread. I enjoyed reading some of the comments.
Recently, a white college classmate of mine asked me to go to dinner with him. I was surprised because I am not the black supermodel looking body type (tall thin), but more of the Beyonce, Melissa Ford body type.
I jokingly thought to myself.."I don't think he's ready for this jelly"
I foolishly thought this body type was only appealing to black men, but I am learning that my assumptions are far from true.
The even more surprising thing was the reactions my black male classmates had when they heard him ask me to dinner. They seemed very irritated by it. Like how dear he ask, and even more so how dear I even act accepting.
I just didn't understand their behavior. Black men have been doing this for years, but somehow black men feel we should remain loyal to them.
Can you believe this!

MuseofTroy said:Um what is with some women's facination with dating/marrying a white man. Why can't the end goal but just to find a nice guy in general regardless of race?
shynessqueen said:Because it's a fact white men are better if you go by what's in this thread.
MuseofTroy said:That's ridiculous. My whole theory is that if a woman attracts a bunch of deadbeat black men then perhaps she needs to see what is up with herself since she is the common denominator.

thicknlong said:So again, I thinks it's logical that one should expand their dating pool. That's all. And, that's my right without being ganged against. lol.
... wouldnt logic tell a common sense person to maybe, TRY SOMETHING ELSE.
