[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi 28 YO AA woman! I believe AA women put too much emphasis on the "I have an education, make X amount of dollars" etc. That really does not matter to a decent fellow. He's not interested in that, as HE wants to be the provider. He wants someone he can have fun with, laugh with. Someone who'll create a happy home that he will look forward to coming to after a hard day of work each day. Someone who will be a bed of wisdom, kind words, gentleness and support when life deals its inevitable blows. When he's hurting, your degrees and number of dollars in the bank will not matter. SO, I think you should focus more on the personality--being friendly, kind, gentle, and warm. I'm an attractive, extremely educated AA woman as well and I have never had a hard time attracting wonderful men of substance and impressive credentials. I found this was much easier to do in metro areas.[/quote] Also wanted to add: Talk about wanting to settle down does not scare men off--unless that is absolutely not at all what he wants. While I don't think that needs to come up right after you introduce yourself, I also do not think that letting that be known up front is a deal breaker--Unless, of course, you are not warm, friendly, etc and he cannot imagine you being the mother of his children. Funny enough, most men will let you know up front if that's what he wants. Let him do that, but if he doesn't get around to that after a couple of months of dating then ask/tell him what you want.[/quote]
