    This proves my point, that many blk men expect BW to put up with years of infidelity or verbal, emotional, physical and financial abuse because decades ago, a woman didn't have the means to leave. BW are supposed to just deal with it. That's a very troubling mindset that most BW are not willing to exist in anymore.

      @@taahiramcgee This has nothing to do with your personal experience. This has to do with statistics. If I went by my personal experience then I would think that most blk men have degrees, earn six figures and are married and in the home, raising children with their blk wives.
      The stats show that 33%of BM have a felony on their record. More than 60% of blk girls are s3xually abused before they're 18. Who do you think is assaulting them? BW are deleted at the rate of 6 per day. A study by the Institute for Family Studies found that blk people have a higher rate of infidelity, compared to whytes and Hispanics, and that men have a much higher rate of infidelity than women.
      You tell me why more than 96% of whyte women who are raising children by BM are doing so alone, and that BW married to WM have the highest marriage success rate out of any other racial/ethnic combination?

    I agree on the sex, the sex is what's causing the distraction from both partners from seeing the red flags and really getting to know the individuals. Keeping the sex off the table in the beginning of dating, you get to open your eyes on whether or not the person is actually the one for you or not. Your emotions are not involve and no one walks away with a broken heart. Great job guys.

    They are giving advice based on being serial daters and using women for sex. They both have spoken about NOT dating intentionally; however, they MIGHT be changing now? I'm not sure if their "growth" is genuine just yet....just to provide context to some of you.
    Edit: they haven’t changed or evolved one bit in their ideals….it seemed like the even doubled down on the “malleable” comment they went viral for on the other interview on this channel. They still don’t understand why it was a problematic thing to say, and blamed it on single parent homes as to why people think it was a problem 🥴

    I am a black woman and I am 100% with Ryan's idea of first dates : a coffee or a walk for several reasons. I can't lose time in a walk because I like my daily 10 000 steps. Second, men prefer a woman who is a saver than a spender, and a low cost date sends that message. To look for a man who is a provider is also to work to lower the financial pressure on him. Moreover, in a walk, there is less noise, less people. So the atmosphere is opened for deep and sincere conversations, and to assess emotional compatibility. It also makes it casual and lower the pressure on both sides and allow vulnerability to have a room. When we don't do that, we end up with insecure people or emotionally unavailable partners, which is the first hidden root cause of breakups and divorces. All dating coaches who are men say a man who gives you his time values you. Going for a walk is valuing a woman. Having a coffee is valuing a woman. A coffee is also great because it diminishes distractions: we are here to talk, to get to know each other, not to eat which brings more distractions (is this meal good? And people coming to ask if everything is ok). A woman who goes on a date that is low cost is also sending this message: I am not here for your money, or what you do. I am here for you, who you are and where you are going. In all my dates, I've always bet on my money and because coffees or restaurants are not where I express my values, even when I am invited, no man has never spent more than 10 dollars on dates. I'd rather have a man who spends more money on things that last, than a restaurant.

    There isn't always "work" to put in. If two people like each other they do, if they don't they don't. Men who take offense to accretive communication from women are often men who are less accretive communicators than they dream of being, less confident, and passive aggressive. Those men often offend themselves and often live in denial about it.

To suggest that women control access to sex is to negate the high level of women being raped, and girls/teenagers being molested and sexually assaulted by grown men. Saying men control access to commitment and marriage is to make yourselves feel important. Sir if you can't get a woman to want to stay in a marriage with you, then you are a FAILURE. What you need to control access to is your p*nis and stop trying to sling it all over.
      And here's the kicker - most of y'all are NOT established and successful. Many of y'all need women (wives) to help y'all with that. So that's a moot point. And the ones who are successful - get married and the women still leave and take their alimony and child support and move on to the next when they grow tired of being cheated on and mistreated.

      Far as the coffee date, most grown folks drink coffee. Some drink it every day. You stand a better chance with an older person enjoying a nice cup of coffee versus a younger person.
      Let's keep it real. It's not about the coffee. It's about a man spending a good bit of his hard earned money on you for the first date. You could care less about getting to know the man. In fact, a lot of trifling women go on dates with no intentions of wanting to get to know the man. Broke ass women are just using brothers for a free meal.

This has nothing to do with money or sex for most women. We simply want to know "you got us".

    Coffee is A poor man (both spiritually and mentally) way of saying I really want to extract value and worth and everything you own without having to do much .
    Nothing wrong with coffee when y’all are married with children having a nice Saturday to yourselves , no kids and enjoying running errands together. NOT! In the beginning when he’s trying to PROVE TO YOU , he can provide and lovingly lead you and a family. No. A wise woman understands there are levels to building a relationship.
    Have no issue with coffee, love it.. however you won’t be taking me for coffee, one cause I might not want that! Which means you should ask what I want. That’s what a gentleman does and I can say “well I kinda have a taste for this, what about you, what do you have a taste for”? Again coffee in and of itself, isn’t the issue, it’s all these hidden agendas men have hidden behind certain things and they know it, women just don’t.
    Low effort = little commitment ladies…
    Use your God given discernment , it will forever disarm his manipulative schemes and tactics (the ones he knows he’s running or is unknowingly running because of his immaturity and lack of manhood). Either way it goes a man was created to provide and lead (lovingly spiritually and sacrificially. He’s called to lay his life down for you and children NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUNd). We are currently seeing the man have a temper tantrum because he doesn’t want the responsibility assigned to him, so he’s looking to relax in your role. Ladies stay put in your role and if he won’t step up into his, remove him…

What I’m hearing is men are loyal and shame on women for being abandoned or cheated on or abused for actually filing although we already know most men simply don’t file. Ryan, what are you even talking about??? Bruh. Women don’t receive direction…lol…women aren’t pets…we are people. Like, I’m truly insulted. I pray they truly hear her perspective too. I heard them LOUD and CLEAR. And I do agree with coffee dates…but a lot of the other rhetoric was off-putting.

      Sister do you agree that women are more about feelings than logic? If so, you know who else is more about feeling than logic? A child. Think about that before you go into your feelings and throw a tantrum.

      Exactly! I laugh when women say they don’t drink coffee. I’m sure you drink water. Lol
