Black men aren't intimidated by committment. We don't wanna commit b/c marriage laws in this country take favor in women who divorce by enforcing alimony and granting the mother custody of children while the father pays child support and has a slim # of hours of visitation each month.

Thanks to feminists who put anti-male laws in this country, marriage is much of a high-risk stake rather than a basic foundation of family and society.

I don't quite see how a man could be classified as a "good man," if he's stringing along one woman, while searching for the next woman to marry. If that man is good, he wouldn't find pleasure in stringing a woman along. He's just as much of a loser.

Still, even when women show the 3 qualities you listed a lot of Black men will only commit after a child has been brought into the situation. The same men who call themselves christians are disrespecting their own women and it gets frustrating to see that in our communities. There are women out here who worthy of being respected but this trend of disrespect by Black men is causing everyone us to downgrade our status.

@andre12593 Times have changed. More women are going to work. It's hard to raise children with one income only.

Many so called successful black women have traded her godliness for so called success. They unlike their mothers or grandmothers loved God and themselves and their bodies. Satan has told them they are the stuff now, and they have lost a joy for homemaking, nurturing and being feminine! They think that a well pay job is a substitution for being virtuous. So thus, they are lead into lonely, bitter, lives and settle for white men who tells her what she want to hear, until he's gotten what he want.

Yes, "ambitious" Black men, that is the key word, ambitious! When women say men are intimated by them, they are talking about the worthless men, NOT about all Black men. And if a man does not want a woman, he should not look around while he stays with the woman who he is with. If he does not want her anymore, just be man and tell her that you want to move on! I hate a man who uses a woman, just break up with her so both of you can move on.

@creditgirl2020 you used two(two!) CELEBRITY relationships as examples of how men behave? Please. Keep in mind, Dedan's referring to ELITE men. Men of God. Seek ye first the Kingdom and all His righteousness, until you do you aren't even RELATIONSHIP material. Marriage? Crawl first.

The number one fact is men & women need to grow up and drop the selfish, ignorant attitudes. No relationship will work when there's competition, selfishness and arrogance. Study the simple truths in the bible, it's pretty clear!

This topic is not limited to Blacks. Most men period, have issues with the woman of the household making more than their male counterparts.

I wouldn't label it as "intimidation" but I think the mindset of most men and how some were raised, ( to be the 'bread-winners" and run the household), and when that role is jeopardized, the dyanmics of the relationship change...Case-N-Point, Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon,all successful women with partners that didn't last.
