In today’s society, women are thriving. We have become bread winners, business owners and executives. It has been reported that women only earn approximately 77 cents on the dollar, when compared to our male counter parts but, that hasn’t seemed to damper the plans, goals, and ambitions of today’s woman.
Many women are bringing home more money than their spouses, all while being mom to the kids, transporting them to soccer games, attending PTA meetings and still finding time to maintain the upkeep of the house and be a wife to their husband. Women are intricate beings, built to withstand, maintain and persevere.
Unfortunately, many of today’s women, in particular, the black woman, are single. Many women are okay with the fact that they do not have a male companion but, to many others, the pursuit of love is nothing unfamiliar.
I pose these question. Has the accomplishment of women, obtaining six figure salaries, purchasing a home and owning a business, without the help of a man in their lives, made their goals for finding a mate…..unattainable? Have we set ourselves too high? Have we set in place unrealistic expectations, when it comes to finding not just any man, but, the “right man”?
Ladies and Gents, what are your thoughts?
