However, It aint where you from.... Like I said, I got 3 daughters, and I'm looking to THE FUTURE.

>and white girls have issues, too. trust.

hUH? Who doesn't?? I think you got me twisted, I think Sistas understand US more... What white woman is gonna grease his scalp, or sing along with him to songs from 'The Wiz'??

Not so. I have known him for about 10 years now... All of the woman are not the same, by far.

Good Question.

>what's the general culture of the area where he lives?

We live in the South Suburbs of Chicago...So Whatever that tells ya. But now you're telling me that Black folx are geographically biased to have healthy relationships?? Come on.

27, granted most of the woman are this age or younger.... so may it be a maturity issue??

Can't meet a quality Sista without an entourage, hmm......?

See, these Sistas are scared off either before, or after like, the first date. He arrives with a rose, or some token... they call him weird, and stop answering his calls.... some of the women I've talked to say, "Oh, he trying to hard. Chivalry is dead... I ain't trying to get all serious like that.... One chick ran after he got her flowers and a card on her birthday... She was young, however, you get my point.
Seems like some Sistas can't realize when they are being respected, revered, or recognized.
