Today Black men "looking for Ms Right" are unsure where they
stand with traditional courtesies such as opening car doors.
Looking for
Ms. Right
Many of today's single Black men are speaking up and exploding the
belief that dating for them equals throngs of women at their command, in
the September EBONY.
"I don't know who these guys are who are supposed to be having it so
good, but for me personally, the whole dating scene is not anything like
the media portrays it for Black men. I don't care what the numbers are,
this going out and meeting someone is just as hard for men as it is for
w om en," says Leonard Wilcox, a 29-year-old single, college-educated,
heterosexual computer software salesman, who spends many weekends
watching TV alone in his apartment.
Mark Nicholas, a 33 year-old loan officer with a New York bank, says,
"The trouble today is not that there are not enough Black men to go
around, but there are not enough super men to go around It's not
enough to be a good guy with a job. You've got to be a BMW driving exe
cutive with an Italian wardrobe who spends his free time dreaming up
romantic weekends."
Several other Black men quoted in the article, "The Black Male Side
Of The Dating Game," also sight: an unwillingness by women, who make
as much or more than they do, to pay for the bill on occasion; and receiving
clues from women that are unclear as to whether they want to be traditional
or modern.
