There is constant debate about this subject--are black men unable to handle the success of black women? Do they subsequently bring destructive behaviors to the relationship.

It’s always easier to look to the external, than to truly assess. Many women are in happy, mutually rewarding relationships with successful black men. They’re out there.

The "black men are intimidated" mantra is a smokescreen. Many women are intimidated by men’s success because it’s foreign to them. Most black women grew up in households where the woman was the main breadwinner, was smarter, etc. It’s what they’re comfortable with.

And what you're comfortable with is what you most attract.

@rayhend100 Love your response. It brings a different and true perspective. My parents have been married for 51 years. My dad is the breadwinner. I bring that perspective, but, like you said, it doesn't always resonant with many because, I think, 60 percent of all African American households are headed by a single parent. Thanks for sharing.

@jerryumeh They are too old, chance are if they are going to find an husband  they would already have by now! i wonder if they kids?

@Mrpeace4ualll Thank you for your comment. To be clear, I've had many opportunities to get married, but choose not to. Fortunately, I don't have to look for a husband--I, like many other women, bring enough value to the table that men request our time. It is simply a general conversation.

It's always funny to hear black women say a man must be intimidated by their success. He's not intimidated by your success, he just does'nt want you the way you want him to want you. But you tell yourself he must be intimidated because you refuse to accept that the fact despite your education , salary and looks , all you are to 95% of the men you will ever meet is a piece of ass. And you're not attracted to the 5% that see you as more than that. Thats why you eat dinner by yourself everynight.

God damn, blacks and other people who talk about blacks always act like the problems in the black community are only exclusive to the BLACK COMMUNITY. How about, are men intimidated by successful women? Would generally be the same answer as specifically pertaining to black men and women, with little variation. It seems like blacks are the ones who perpetuate the racial divide by talking about "their people"as if they are so different in and amongst themselves. Other races has specific issues too

Not to be an ass or anything, but all successful black women are not attractive (this goes for physical appearance and personality). Also, there are many successful black women that have children and many men are not looking to be instant fathers. Many women that have reached a certain level of success are also past their prime child-rearing. Those are just the basics and don't include how we see the world and God. We can't simply say "I'm successful, where's my male twin".

All I can say is that I am not intimidated by a successful BW. I have dated CPA's, lawyers, high ranking federal employees, doctors, models, etc. And to be honest, I would prefer for a BW to be successful. The women in my family would eat you alive if you were not because they are of the aforementioned professions and want me to be with a certain kind of woman just like them. Honestly, many of these successful BW tell me that I am intimidating: a man who is not intimidated.

It's funny how these so called successful BW say that BM are intimidated by their success. These are the same women that say these BM are not on their bullshit level.
