looking down your nose at a blue collar man/woman

[Suesumba]

jah yout said something about higher educated black women looking down their noses at a blue collar man. i don't want this to be another never-ending black mand black woman post.

sometimes it's not a question of looking down their nose at a blue collar man but consider this:

if a wo/man has invested their time to pursue a higher education which leads them to interact with people on a different social level. why the hell would they want a blue collar wo/man?

most likely the blue collar wo/man has not taken any steps to better themself socially and is either unable or unwilling to learn. that's probably why lawyers tend to marry lawyers. i know it doesnt' apply in all cases, but you have to respect the right of people to consort with those of their own class.

Re: looking down your nose at a blue collar man/woman

in july an educated, independent bizwoman friend of mine married a successful carpenter. they went out for three years. they're very happy. first marriage for her, second for him - they're both in their 40s.

sometimes - sometimes - it's a maturity thing that allows you to look past things such as education.

White, Asian and other groups of women with higher education or that are succesful would never look at a guy that wasn't at their level, why should we be expected to.

There are enough professional black men out there, jah yout-are you only seeing blue collar guys? I see professional black men everywhere from Metro dc/va/md to ny and boston.

One question is though why in many families, the females get highly educated, while the males don't even bother to go to college. That's an issue I see.

I think it's obvious black women seek to IR date much less than black men, so if anyone is deserting the opposite gender, it's surely not black women.

i understand it can work and in my ideal world it shouldn't even be an issue. BUT..... in some cases, not all the intelligence is not at an equal level. i know you don't have to go to school to be *smart*.

Re: looking down your nose at a blue collar man/woman

<font color="blue">I've never been one to care about a man's professional status or income. As I said in another thread, I make my own. I have no problem dating someone that does manual labor, as blu said, their income is sometimes higher than white collar workers.

What's important to me is that a man have ambition and satisfaction in his job. And the knowledge that he will always keep a job, always contribute no matter what kind of job it means him getting. Many white collar people won't take a job that they feel is beneath them, would rather go without work until they find what they want. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70400-talktohand.gif[/img]

My [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70377-loveeyes.gif[/img] works with his hands and that will mean more to me around the house than if he was an accountant or a lawyer. </font>

Re: looking down your nose at a blue collar man/woman

On the one hand I can see what you are saying, while on the other hand I can also see the other point of view. While I like my men to be a certain way (can handle themself in a formal setting and such) I would not be interested in the doctor/lawyer/etc type. They would be far too stuffy for me. (not to say that there are'nt any down to earth ones)
What I am trying to say is that I would rather date some one that I have things in common with.
