To answer some smart statement made to me last week, >:(I do have problems finding a man, let along a good man, but I refuse to settle for anything or stay in a relationship (or marriage) just to say I "have" someone.

I don't care what the guys on this board say, the argument that there is a shortage of GOOD BLACK MEN is a valid one.
In the past 5 years, I have met maybe one DECENT man. Things didn't work out and that's just the way it goes. But everyone else I've met have been PLAYERS, men who couldn't keep a job if their lives depended on it, or just men that I felt no connection with.
So Lois, I completely understand. The dating pool is very, very shallow.

And might I add, a single brother can't give us advice on finding men. Either he should step up to the plate or concentrate on his own love life or lack thereof.

Hey I ain't mad at ya. I back you up 100% ... there is nothing wrong with not settling. Heck, back in my single days I felt the same way and I was completely fine hanging out with myself than some loser.

Girl, whoever said that to you...... *fill in the blank something negative*
Anyway, I'm 100% behind you. Good and PRODUCTIVE men aren't all that plentiful.

Good and productive are the key words here. I was blessed to have found a man like my husband. He's one of those rare, hidden gems that you only find once in a blue moon. Sure, we have our ups and downs, ins and outs, but I'd take him any day over all the losers I encountered during my single-hood.

You are truly blessed to have a good husband as well as the other ladies who have good men.
