To my fellow black men, got some things on my mind

Why is it that the more darker side of us (being a thug, gangsta, criminal) more attractive to our women? It's like being raised to be the opposite of that makes us invisible. I've been in a professional career for the past 6 years (I'm 28) and I fought hard to get out of the messed up environments a lot of us come from. I was always told we live on the hood, of course a majority of women are gonna go with that type of guy, if you are not that type of guy, get out of here, relocate, get a career that's professional, and not only will your life change, but your dating experience as well.

So I was like okay cool, all the girls I liked back home, every last ond of them and I literally mean every last one, went for thugs, gangsters, drug dealers, killers, I mean as hood and street as they could get them. My das was that type of guy, which is why I've grown up without him, he's still currently in prison. He told me to be better, do better, he did his dirt and he's paying for it, don't be the same as him.

Even currently, I still seek to have a black wife, a black family, I'm not in that type of environment anymore, haven't been for 6 years, yet even the professional black women in my career field still date these types of guys. I know the hottest new black show on tv is BMF, and constantly here them saying Meech is fine, sexy, and that he's a real you know what. Another said damn that's my type right there. I can't help but feel like damn, do I not qualify for my black women these days?

I've always been one step behind those types of black men when dating black women, I'll admit, the hood has rubbed off on me in some ways, but I've never been a hardcore street type of guy and it's like even if I'm not that guy, they want me to at least bring that type of energy, and I can't help but feel like I'm doomed if I don't change something.

I was also told that those types of black men are considered the alphas in our community which why a majority of the time you will see a black woman either in a relationship that type, have that type as an ex, or has had kids by that type.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
