Success Happy

What keeps successful black men and successful black women from getting together?

Is it an ego thing? Since we both have to overcome so many stereotypes and obstacles to become successful, it only natural to build up an ego... so naturally no one wants to be the submissive partner in the relationship both want to wear the pants?

1. The white man and all the stupid thoughts they put in everyone's head
2. Ego. Hands down. And you're reason behind the ego is on the money as well.
3. That's not true. All I ever see are successful black couples together.
4. agree with Jesse Jay's, Because the black community is very powerful when its united. Lets put it in a political way lol, The US doesn't want North Korea or Iran to get Nukes because the US knows they will become very powerful if they did
5. it could possibly be an ego thing, but it's not just with successful black people... it happens in all races.. usually a person who is successful sees themselves as being the best and come across as being arrogant to another who is just like them who in turn see the other person in the same way.. neither one wants to sacrifice their career and have to depend on another to pay the bills.. so it's easier to find someone who could care less about leaving their job to raise the family at home...just my opinion..
6. Maybe for some people but I know plenty of successful black couples! I think no matter how successful a woman is, she needs to recognize her place as a lady! I don't care how much money I make, I will always submit to ma man....ma BLACK man! Haha
7. For some, it could be an ego thing. But, for others it's just that the compatibility isn't there. Both people maybe successful, but that doesn't mean they share the same interests, beliefs, etc... And, they both may not be ready to settle down. There are many factors. I've dated many successful Black men. And, many were too focused on their careers (or other women) to settle down.
8. Yes, it is all about the ego.
9. It seems to me that most successful black men go with the white women and the successful black women go with the white men or they date both interracially. I think it's because they're used to having to work around them, so they forget about their roots & get involved with someone outside the race. Or maybe they just feel they're too good for a black person as they're climbing up the ladder of the success. Almost like they look down on other blacks.
10. inferiority complex
11. Can't argue with that! when i first read this, i also was thinking that they become successful at two different stages in life. i know plenty of successful black women in their 20's and a lot of successful black men in their 40's. Totally different mind thinking their! Most men usually mature around an older age. I hate to generalize black women, but they arent trying to play any games with guys when they are in their 20's. And most of them wont wait till you have your sht together, you either have it or you don't.
12. Alot of successful black people have a subconscious inferior mentality once they get successful they figure why would i want a black mate when i have a chance at a white mate
13. Jesse Jay's just a White Hater !!! Nothing there are lots but people don't want to hear that !!!!
