I will answer this question for you but you have to promise me you'll hold your breath until I do.

It seems all three of you ( including the one claiming she's from Ireland) are all part of a big laugh. The three of you are probably having martinis with other mind altering goodies while you sit back and run people in circles with this circus freak thread.

Perhaps you would like me to print a copy of my Irish Birth Certificate? It's in Gaelic by the way so not sure if you would understand it. I may have the very occasional alcoholic drink but have never touched any other mind altering goodies, as you put it. Can you say the same? If it is such a circus freak thread, why do you actually take part? Why not just ignore it and go on another thread?

It didn't start out as a freak show. It later became one. I shouldn't involve myself with such (people). Have a great day.

I agree many are, but you can't use Wall Street brokers and professionals as the norm in your examples. But we may disagree on the idea of just what many black women consider as "average" when it comes to black males. Because in my experience (and I speak solely for myself) most black women prefer a man with "swag" which essentially translates into street hood smarts. Most imo place value over street hood smarts as opposed to book smarts, and some prefer a hybrid between them. However the overall must-have, necessity seems to be street smarts over anything else. Most young black women in my experience prefer to have that over book smarts anyday. A straight A black male with book smarts and without street hood smarts are considered 'corny' and "swagless." (lol)

Again, just my experience in dealing with professional black women in addition to those in hood.

I also concur. And, I would like to add that in my personal experience, most women in general would prefer a guy with a little street smarts. Lets face it, if a women is walking down the street holding hands with her man, and a perpetrator approaches them, who would make her feel more secure... the square guy or the thug? And, if someone is trying to climb through her window, which guy would she prefer to protect her? Also, most women want a guy who can handle his business behind closed doors. So, they could definitely benefit from a guy who's a little more aggressive, if you know what I mean. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THUG PASSION

Can you please explain how this in any way differs from what White women want?

You could point to a million threads on the internets of (White) guys complaining about women not wanting nice guys and instead wanting "bad boys" or "a@@holes."

Don't get it twisted. These Black women you supposedly talked to do not want a criminal. They don't want a murderer, drug dealer, or stick-up kid. They do however want a guy that's not afraid of being a strong man. Just like most White women.

I do not believe that, women tell themselves they dont want a thug (or white women tell themselves they dont want the office sleaze) and they continue saying that right into the bedroom of said thug/sleaze.

Most women (black women included) want a man that is a little dangerous, and a boring Wall Street Analyst, that folds and irons socks before they go into the drawer, and cries when Bambi gets shot inst going to fit that bill.

For the ones that truely want stability hats off to you, but there are too many women in too many relationships with too many married guys for the "We just want stability" line to fly.
