Razor Sharp
I'm not sure what's more messed up, her death or her life. It's the typical American story. People go to college and get all sorts of degrees in search of a better lifestyle. This chick was on track to become a pHd, but was making crap income off part time jobs and renting property.
$200,000 debt in student loans, but what did it really get her?
Now wait a minute Razor, statistically speaking people WITH a college education tend to make more than those without one, based on statistics. However, common sense should prevail in the end and everyone should know that it's what you actually DO with the education and how you MANAGE your career that matters the most. Education is nothing but an additional tool to assist you in building a career, however, it's not the builder,
you are.

I'm not sure how this is helpful in picking up women...
I'm not sure either, however, it does continue to shed light on what seems to be a popular recurring theme around the black community for sure, and that's a woman's surprisely glorification of thug culture.
"Thugs put it down in bed."
"Thugs can protect."
"I want somebody that's real, so I want a thug."
"I like danger."
I'm not sure if you can compare a woman's choice of a convict to that of a man's choice to screw a stripper or a slvt in general. The stripper isn't running around town stealing, robbing, and murdering other citizens, she's just a slvt. The stripper isn't a menance to society, she just can't keep her legs closed.
This is just one question of the social dynamic landscape that I have not gotten my finger around and that's why don't these types of individuals (thugs) scare these women more than attract them?
Now taking everything into account, if you have your sh.it together as a guy you shouldn't have an issue getting women in general, all types of women. However, when usually asked to address this reality of well to do women's choices of "thugs" (especially in the black community) you are always told to turn the other cheek because it's not "all" black women just "some."
I always wonder why no one wants to discuss this and offer some potential solutions? Is there something that we as men in general need to STEP UP ON so these women do not feel the need to engage with these other types of guys?

I'm not sure how you are helpful to this forum (Zarky). Let's look at the sh1t you post about. Oh wait, its just talking crap in every thread about what anyone is posting. Where are you field reports, tips, good solid advice to anyone. They aren't there. Where are your post asking for help or talking about what you are going through, oh wait, they don't exist.
Warrior, I think you are a great guy but I've bumped heads with you in the past over a similar issue. Just as you are free to make whatever threads and responses you feel, so are other posters. Are you the self-appointed MODERATOR of the Mature Man Forum or something that you feel that you can regulate what is posted and what isn't?
The truth of the matter is that this forum in GENERAL has gotten away from positive self-improvement based discussions and there's nothing wrong with pointing that out. There's nothing wrong with me pointing that out, Zarky pointing that out, etc.
On the flip-side though, there's also nothing wrong with discussing issues that are still present with the opposite sex and discussing problems that we still face. However, with these types of discussions on the Mature Man Forum today there is a lack of
STRUCTURE and SOLUTIONS.
For example, Warrior your purpose in making this thread was what? I believe this is it:
Warrior
...this is about grown adult women still making stupid choices that they should have gotten over as younger women.
So what we have is basically another general woman-bashing thread with NO
STRUCTURE and NO SOLUTIONS.
What I mean is that we are not coming together to discuss these issues and problems that we are having with women and offering SOLUTIONS. Instead, it's just a free-for-all to post a article, news story, or experience, just to get a stream of responses talking about how BAD women are in general.
I am not stating that some of the issues are not there, but how about we come together and offer solutions instead of just negative bull.**** commentary?
This reminds me of the political landscape. I am conservative as hell and strongly believe in free markets, and I don't think alot of what's being done in the political arena is helping streamline the recovery JUST AS most Republicans do not. HOWEVER, they offer NO SOLUTIONS to these problems and instead just decide to continue to bash and bash.
Warrior, what are
YOUR SOLUTIONS to the problems of some black women and even women in general, dating thugs? Do you have any? Or was the purpose of this thread just to bash them?
See I'm a self-improvement type of guy with a very high internal locus of control. I believe that we have the POWER to CHANGE what is occurring in our lives and what I am pointing out (which I'm also sure is where Zarky might be getting into as well), is that we as a Forum have SHIFTED the focus from internal based control and solutions to CHANGE our lives, and instead, have SHIFTED the focus to an external locus of control and believing that for the most part we don't have the power to change our experiences. That "women" or "life" is just as it is and there's nothing we can do about it!
We (men) BUILT this country and the concept of family. And I think we need to come out with solutions to alot of these problems that are still present to PRESERVE our families.
What have we done as MEN, to cause a huge portion of women in the general marketplace, to decide to mate with these losers (thugs)?
