There are a lot of great black women out there, Wiggs. I don't see why you couldn't find a black woman who meets your intellectual standards. Maybe your looking in the wrong places. I don't think your going to find many quality women of any race on POF. What I've found is college educated black women are great. Black women in Grad School even better.
I can tell you exactly why. Yes, I'm intelligent, and there are plenty of intelligent black women BUT many of these intelligent black women are demanding, much too independent, and will only have things, their way. This is not what I seek. I am a thinker, I enjoy not being bound by many of societies norms. I do what I want, when I want. Although when it comes to family, I'm very conservative and traditional (cause it works). Ideally, I'd like a freethinking, intelligent, black woman, that will be submissive to a degree to her man, i.e., I am the head of household. I will not be subjugated to a role of "yes, dear no dear, whatever you want dear." Regardless of race. My father remarried when I was 7 to another black woman and they've been married ever since. (26 years). They have a wonderful marriage and I love my step-mother as I do my mother. BUT, Daddy Wiggs is the boss and he doesn't walk around saying it. It is implied.
Problem is as many of you have said women in general have been elevated to a degree to where they really don't need a guy anymore and their attitudes have changed overtime. The result is the c u n t s that dwell among us today. I'll say I've found that black women display these traits slightly more than whites and Hispanic and Asians are still old school in overwhelming numbers. I'm not going to "keep it real" just to keep the gene pool black. But I would like to try to have a relationship with a black female. I'm going to give it a go. This should be something that comes natural after all I am BLACK.
