I commend Prime for everything that he has done for his son's mother and for his current wife, but I have to say that some Black Men are most definitely intimated by strong Black women. I think it might have a little to do with the breakdown of the black family. As the Black woman get's stronger, in the sense of being more educated and obtaining more socially, her counter part gets a little left behind and jealous. As she tries to help him, I think he loses a little of his manhood, and therefore usually ends up cheating with someone less than his spouse or girlfriend, all because he became intimidated!

Well my sons mother had 1 child and was on welfare, when I met her. So automatically, by her getting county my son was placed on it. Embarrassed for a moment, the County sent letters to florida saying I'm an absent parent. All the while I was here with my child and his mother. She wouldn't get her act together far as school,etc.. I left the relationship, yet remained in Cali. I worked 3 jobs, I faced the county and told them take my son off. I payed them back $1800.00 that was stiff for 5-6 months, yet I still financed her way through school. This was 1997, I just got married in 2008. I've met all types of women, yet my focus was to make sure my son mom was okay for him. She graduated with her masters degree 1 day before my wife. I've never been on child support, I was raised in the Foster system. My mother died when I was 7. My sons mother is hapy that I never turned my back on her. All the while, I helped my wife through school and a high paying job. I'm mainly saying, pray to find you a man that will add to you.. We can get sex anywhere, so what you have a degree and $$.. That's great, yet that won't keep a brutha. It's what you're attracting, stop living in the past. 33yrs.old you're still young. We as black folk like to brag about what we have, yet are you helping give back. That's how everything around you get's blessed. I was on the cover of Ionamagazine back in 2000, can see at www.primetechniques.com. I've done many commercials, movies, etc.. it's my 11th year as a Collegiate Coach.. The beauty of it all, is that I built folks around me, and it brought me face to face with my wife. Majority every woman looks good, or can have a brutha. I'm a southern man, yet in Cali. Black men don't let sista's press them, it's kinda a turn on where I'm from. You just have to meet him shopping or don't be afraid to say hello bruh. "What do you like in a woman". He already see's that you're a sista. Women in the 50's-60's-70's had a far rougher time, than you're having. Sometime's we're too busy looking at our plaques on the wall..It's simply basics that will bring Mr.Right to ya. I was never looking for Mrs.Right, cause sometime's when we're searching. She or He is right there near ya. I think that you will, win. Because, you do have a pretty good resume. Women lie and Men lie. I tell ya this, when you do get him..Treat him better than your degree's, jobs, and house.. That's what we as black folks don't juggle the best.. Corporate success and upscale living is new to us, so don't be afraid to have Mr.Right come 1st. If you see he's selfish, talk about it. Overall let him go... Dominant Women and Men are selfish.. My skill sets are dominant, yet I put them 2nd to my girlfriend-now Wife.. God Gotcha, stay encouraged..

I agree with the writer . . . I think that men are afraid of women with a good head on their shoulders and something to say, other than . . . "yes I think you are handsome." Please men, get it together and get some self confidence. I meet so many men these days who are all about . . . well, NOTHING! I am so sick of it and yes, when the find out that I am college educated, working a good job and own my own things, they run off, but always after they try to get me in the bedroom. Yes, Brotha's Are Afraid of Strong Women.

For starters I dont think that Lisa B. has a man. I'd agree that some men may be intimidated. Also, some women don't want to date a man they think is not up to their standards or makes enough. My wife has a degree and was in the masters program when I was going to college. We meet doing my party years and she didn't finish the master program and I didn't finish college. Anyway ,here we are married with 3 kids 13 years later. When we started dating initially we didn't talk about the long term but just enjoyed the here and now. I do remember other women wanted to know right away when do you plan to get married, number of kids, etc. Others just had your typical issues. I just think that we should someone how try to make your life more spiritual and not look for someone to complete you. Be happy on your own first. Dont be desperate, but don't be so confident that you are unapprochable. Seek a happy medium, be positve, look for some to share your life with. Not neccessarilly just to add wealth or status. Maybe he or she is not the perfect image you had in your mind growing up. Usually the person you appeared to be perfect was totally different. The important thing is to attract a positive person, you yourself must be postive. If you are attracting the wrong people, first look at yourself. Once you find out away to get along with yourself and become well adjusted to life as it is now, with a little prayer, I believe you will be ripe for the right person to come along.

Ok I am a married woman with a few, well educated, nice looking, great job female friends. Who often complain about dating. So I offered to introduce them to my husbands single friends. Now my husbands opinion is, a good looking single women that has it going on, and over 30ish HAS ISSUES. So i have on several occasions introduced them to my husbands friends. Now I only know my friends according to things they tell me personally, or we discuss as friends. But I have found out through my husband and the things the friend reports back, I dont really know my friends as well as I would like to think. They end up telling the men so much more than I have ever known about them and I would have to agree, THEY HAD ISSUES. I ave found out things through my husbands friend, that makes me not even able to look these women in the face anymore.

It's like this ladies, men are physical most of us don't allow our spirit nature to guide us. We like beauty as we may see it in everyday life like when we observe a garden of roses or the ocean. And when we see it in a bar or a night club our nature kicks in and then we want to conquer. Now the problem is that women are attracted to men that conquer, so they may be deceived at this point by a buster. You got wooed and now he is up in your bed swinging around like Tarzan. I admit a lot of my peers are not doing their part, not even trying to meet a successful lady half way. And my advice to the career woman is, if a man can't add to your life what is the use of carrying someone or hindering your life by having to help a cat that's able but not willing, that my dear is 21st century pimpin. There is definitely a shortage of us, (successful men) more women are successful now and the black man is straight tripping, by not having a career oriented empire state of mind. I think that a man and a women may have to take one for the team in a long term relationship at least once. That is if you have a relationship that is worth working through infidelity. There is a lot of successful black women that are looking for relationships, it is evident because I can feel it when I come into a place, but the thing is to be careful on the energy released because the wolves who have no agenda Monday morning feels the same thing. So understand this, men are attracted to a successful black women that has her own thing, and doesn't need a man to simple things like have a pamper day. Men are not afraid of this type of quality because a man needs a woman for correction and to make his own self better and a strong women won't stand for boyish behavior and will bounce. But a boy in a mans body will approach you because you are as fine as you are looking like desert with your fresh french pedicure and lips looking like a wet lollipop, and after a few words, he may see where your head is at and say to himself, "I aint going to be able to hit that tonight," and moves on to the next one. Or your appearance may even be intimidating because he may already know your stance for his goal.
So boys in a mans body are intimidated by you having it going on. And men are attracted by it. At least I am. Keep doing what you doing lady, and watch for that deceptiveness I spoke on.

I don't think Reginald knows what he is talking about. I think that there are plenty of men out there who are afraid of women, because they are smarter, better looking, have a better figure, a better job,or whatever they (men) are intimidated by. I think he can't give you an honest opinion on this subject because he is or was intimidated by a woman at one time!
Yes, men are intimidated by women and that could be part of the problem, and the reason why you don't have a boyfriend.
