Are You Chasing Away Good Men?

2.) Sisters looking for Barack Obama who have yet to achieve their Michelle status.

Having standards is one thing, but this new Barack Obama standard is troubling for a number of reasons.  Firstly, Barack Obama is in his late 40’s, so holding men in their mid twenties, even 30’s to his accomplishments is unrealistic. Our president is the sum of hard work and a strong support system, he didn’t come to Michelle as the amazing man he is today. So before you chase away the next “John Williams” or whatever his name is understand that the brother is a work in progress and with team work you too might end up being that power couple you admire.

There was a brother at the Madame Noire panel about “8 Reasons to Date a White Man.”  He was a handsome brother who owned his home, drove a nice car, seemed to be well read. Sadly this responsible brother wouldn’t make the cut on most women’s lists because he does not have a college degree. What a shame! Here we have a great brother, looking to treat a woman like a queen and is very capable but because he’s missing that one criteria on your list, he’s been cut out of the equation.
