Because of this, they assign a higher value to women who have male protection. <br /><br />A woman who has male protection (in form of a father) is more likely to be treated with respect and offered marriage and commitment.<br /><br />This does not mean that bw cannot get this from men. It just means that they have to be act a little smarter than white women in order to get the same results.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513912913349781874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29718807.post-17019670657073092872013-03-22T23:25:56.255+00:002013-03-22T23:25:56.255+00:00Black women have to incest in their self and their...Black women have to incest in their self and their love life. I know we have the spiritual down and we need to start knowing how to date and meet people. How many of us watched the females in our household get ready for a date and not going to some church revival only to come away with any empty pocketbook and not our love lives nutured because we are told to "wait on the Lord"? We need to start taking hobbies and then more men of other races we encounter, the more we will become relaxed around them and will start to learn new things from them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062879240579595508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29718807.post-69348586366285268582013-03-20T22:11:24.906+00:002013-03-20T22:11:24.906+00:00It is highly disrespectful for that dysfunctional ...It is highly disrespectful for that dysfunctional WM lurker who trolls our blogs and associates with anti-BWE Opportunists to leave some drive-by snarky comment to diminish the seriousness of the topic at hand.<br /><br />It is more important than ever for BW who are like-minded where it counts with tangible assets to bring to connect with each other.Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29718807.post-29253136954558518482013-03-20T12:11:36.213+00:002013-03-20T12:11:36.213+00:00I did comment on this post a few days ago but I st...I did comment on this post a few days ago but I still don't see the comment LOL!

I have learned from observation and experience that a major factor in how young women of all groups find their way to marriageable men has a great deal to do with their family and friends. I was fortunate to have become close friends with a woman from work of Nigerian heritage whose friends and family truly embraced me. For the first time in life, I was blessed to have a woman in my corner who felt it important for me to be partnered and was willing to find a suitable partner for me. No woman from my own family has ever suggested this or provided guidance in how to approach the subject of finding a marriageable partner. This is why I am so appreciative of the work you and other Authentic BWE writers do. I only know of one family member who relied on friends from where she grew up in the Caribbean to help her find a suitable partner for both her first and second marriages. This is key! Women looking out for other women. However, many black women in the states and their black residential areas operate too dysfunctionally and are much too isolated from the rest of the non-black population. For example, not many young black women my age are aware of how important it is to vet men. Those who may be partnered with sub-par boyfriends that associate with sub-par male friends, would not be doing her black girlfriends a favor by playing matchmaker. Factor in the voluntary self-segregation and isolation many young black woman practice when out in social circles, and the prospect of becoming acquainted with potential partners of a different race is very low. It is important that a young black women who desires marriage do all she can if faced with these challenges to promote her goals full speed. Being able to rely on a solid support system is great. However, this requires investment and time to nurture the relationships from which we derive support. While I am hopeful these support systems can be formed among forward thinking black women, I still think it's best to look out for yourself individually.
