But I do agree that the older women get, the more inclined we are to devalue thugging and gravitate towards educated and working black men. But even in college though I would be appalled to hear one of my friends use the alley test to determine who she would date. Something like that might have brought me to tears and really had me wondering: What are ya'll doin in the alley at 3 a.m. anyway??? So many girls in college get caught up with the thug thing.

I agree with you SBM, give me a BMW that can talk about future and our children's children's future any day! ~ found you via Sheila and think I will be enjoying your blog. Love that it is from a BM's perspective on relationships. If you ask me the alley test was NEVER relevant.

Something I am learning as I now actively scour other blogs for inspiration, to see what other people are talking about, and to just leave my mark is one thing: "Guys don't read blogs on relationships!" Even in terms of other blogs written by guys, I have found really just found one. And if you think about it ... it makes sense. I never read relationship blogs before this. They were all about technology, coding, or business. Lol ... the male friends I have that read this don't even comment! Lol @ mikki.

But I do think I would feel just as safe if my man told me the dangers of walking through alleys at 3 am. I am more into be comfortable, if I can be myself laugh and feel that your enjoying your time with me, I am smiling. Good post. Wow, I never heard of it.

Don't get me wrong, us older women do like to feel secure that our man can handle himself in a dangerous situation; but that's where it stops. I'm not looking for a bad boy, thug or what have you...give me a BMW (Black Man Working) verses a Black Man Thugging on any given day. Maybe its an age thing.
