'I notice a lot of black princesses are seeking a male version of themself. Maybe they should look for someone to complement them, - like a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle that, when inserted, completes the picture. Wishful thinking, I guess. But one should never underestimate the appeal of an "interesting" relationship."

So true. Unfortunately, from all the hysteria, blogs, talk shows and TV stories, black women seem to be suffering from the "suitable male companion syndrome". I really don't know what to think. I do know that too many black women settle for thugs and men that will never give them what they want. And there are decent and worthy black men out there but the competition is fierce and hard. Black women need to understand this. Many seem to believe that they are entitled to a man that meets all their criteria. But reality says otherwise.

I suggest they move beyond their self imposed race restrictions and demands and seek men who will treat them like they want to be treated. Until they move past this self limiting race fantasies and expectations, they will remain unmarried, alone or settling for dead end relationships. Only they can turn the situation around. No one can or will do it for them.
