    I am 24 years of age and I have the same problem one after another with women. I only date mid 20s and sometimes early 20s, but all of them have the same high masculine energy and character. Brother you answered all the questions and thoughts I had about why our women are too masculine. I've noticed that other race of women are more feminine and super gentle with men than our own. I haven't dated outside of my race, but I see more other race of women giving me more feminine charisma, soft charitable characters, and the manly role. I love my black women, but I am one day planning to get married. our young women have to make a change because other races are snatching our brothers out here. I currently live in Houston, TX and there's a lot of interracial coupling going on out here. Sisters, we need yall to make a change and reevaluate yourselves for us young men please.
    Love the video brother and thank you much for your work.

After a terrible relationship with my ex, I knew that there were things I needed to improve on within myself in order to be the person I need to be for the relationship I want.

    When I visit other countries particularly in South America, melanin skin women are feminine, classy, gorgeous with ridiculously healthy bodies. My advice to the Black men that have their life together is to be extremely ambitious in growing in your professional career and start a business as well. You want to put yourself in a position where you will have more options and have access to better quality women to choose from.

    1: Black women grows up with 2 parents; but her father tells her to never depend on a man because he fears for her based on his past and the way today's men degrade women and predominately fail at some point in life. Thus, she becomes very masculine and feminist.
    2: Black woman grows up with only her mother and she has the soft and feminine things that men want, yet she subcontiously never learned how to keep a man, because she never grew up seeing it. That woman may become a feminist also, but it's by default and not a real feminist; it's the feminist 'follower or fan'.
    It's a loss either way.
    Solution: Raise your daughters in a two parent household, and both parents must teach that girl how to be with a man.

Many females choose to be single and all these videos with males degrading and complaining won’t change all females. No females are too fed up to be lonely.

      I grew up with two parents; very strict religious household--the issue is my parents gave me NO guidance regarding relationships. The only thing strongly enforced is sex is not something you do until marriage. They said to just make friends with guys and date to learn what you like. Very vague and unhelpful advice. I learned how to navigate relationships by modeling my parents but they are married. BW stop acting like you are a wife before you get a ring. You will save yourself a lot of heartache.

  • @LadyCharity

    Many BW are mainly masculine (profess, protect, provide) because they do not have the example of positive femininity (invite, influence, intuition) or they simply did not have a positive masculine figure. Also, it has help to make them high achievers in work, business and education. Leading with achievements is masculine so it's not something I do. I may not have been taught much about relationships but I was definitely grew up with a mother that valued her womanhood. She was very intuitive, influential, imaginative but also very protective. She exemplified both feminine and masculine energies--the latter as a survival. She taught me etiquette, fashion, presentation and poise are very vital to women's influence. I tried to rebel when I was younger as I was more tomboyish since I had a twin brother but now that I am older, appreciate her efforts.

    Thank you for speaking truth in such a gentle way. This message was easy to receive. I am a feminine woman that has a very masculine husband. Even we have to be reminded of this simple truth. It will change your dating life. My husband loves it some much I don't have to worry about his attraction to me. It's so true. I just want to thank all of black men voicing this to the black women. Who should we hear this from ladies? I want to say that this is clearly a message of love. Where do you hear hate? Before you attack me (because those same black women attack us feminine black women too) think about this. Then pray that God shows you your true state of thinking. Because the truth is he is right and so many of our brothers are right. We as women want our men to straighten up is it not fair that they ask us to meet them half way by doing the same? I was taught all the same feminism bs coming up too and it is hard to go against all that you know....but if there is error in it and it's negative in your life let it go. Black men are capable of loving us and providing. My husband proves this everyday. These men are tired of pleading with us ladies. It is an act of love to show you what you are doing incorrect and holding you accountable for your own actions.

    As a black woman I agree . There are times I’ve been masculine. With the help of some of my black sisters on CZcams I’ve toned down a lot and I’m starting to see how I’ve acted and how some women act today . I had an ex friend. She has about four kids. Omg every time I call her she’s cursing and hollering. Every other word out her mouth is a curse word and not just simple ones either. There’s times I had to get off the phone. Even when we are in public .. again horrible.she acted so hard and “independent “ . There were times where I saw potential in her. She was really nice and appears classy when she wasn’t that way but of course that didn’t last long. You know what’s the crazy thing is? Her 16 year old daughter acts much more classier than her!!!! Smh . Now this lady has a man but I don’t even need to go into what type of man he is. You can just about predict it from how I described his woman. 🤦🏾‍♀️

    I had a meeting in personnel. When I walked into the office, the black receptionist said, "what do you want". The white woman was sitting in her office and said, "Mr. Xxxx, is that you?".
    Several months later, a black man told me that his daughter was in the hospital and wanted me to give her a visit and have a word of prayer with her. I walked in the hospital room and that same black receptionist was laying in bed unconscious. Mr. Williams, I know something about forgiveness that most individuals don't know. Jesus died on Calvary for all humanity but, humanity must "repent" to be forgiven. An individual can not be forgiven without admitting they were wrong. I couldn't pray for that woman in all honesty.

    Black women are not afforded the opportunity to live in a community for about 398 years where they were protected and left to explore the feminine side as you say. We have been so busy raising and protecting our children since at first the black man was emasculated by the white man and now since we have been in this role for centuries, we tend to operate within it. Men, unfortunately have not stepped up to the plate both in the community which is indicative of their roles in the relationship. Men have to LEAD AND PROVIDE AND GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR SAID COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF RUNNING AROUND ACTING LIKE PIMPS AND PERPETUAL 20 YEAR old. In reference to the scripture you put forth, my people die for their lack of knowledge, refers to who they are as a nation and who GOD is in relation to them and the dynamics of that relationship. And who is their enemy and how to navigate the world. I am so tired of black men not changing who they are and LEAD THIS DAMN NATION. THAT IS WHY YOU WERE CREATED TO PROTECT AND SERVE.. TURN THAT ON AND THE MASCULINE PART OF A WOMAN WILL AUTOMATICALLY DIAL DOWN.

    +Arneal Williams I have managed 6000 employees, taught classes all over America and the following is a fact.
    The black American woman is the most insecure woman in America and have extremely low self esteem. This is evident by their constant repeating "I am strong, intelligent, independent and have high self esteem". You know a person with those characteristics do not have to verbalize it to others but, it is shown in their actions.
    When I walk into a classroom of predominantly black women, the expression on their face is as if all of them are on their monthly. Yes, UCLA has a doctoral program on facial expressions. When I see these "sisters", I find a white subordinate to teach the class. I will peak in the window and every bw in the classroom will have a cordial expression....i am not going to put up with that foolishness.
    One more scenario.... I was doing a site survey for the installation of a multi-million dollar computer system. The CEO and his staff was following me from room to room and floor to floor. I walked into one office with a bw sitting behind a huge desk, big picture window and instead of saying, "may I help you", this bw began addressing me as if I was a low down dog. I didn't say one word and walked on into her office. About three seconds later, the CEO walked in and this bw went into Aunt Jemima mode....Oh no, she should have went Aunt Jemima when I walked in....
    Arneal, I took her office from her right then and there.
    Bw in corporate America show their a$$ to bm until they discover he is the director, manager or their superior. Then the bm suppose to have amnesia when the bw start flirting, spreading her legs. Only a fool would give such a woman entrance into his life because, such a woman will attempt to prove she is superior .....first impression is lasting impression.

    I think most women want to marry up as it makes them feel and act feminine and submit, however, it isn’t easy to find men on a certain high economic level and and financial status. For instance, a man with leadership, ownership and investments. Therefore, some women prefer to remain single than to settle and marry down.

    Hello again. I kind of just started listening to your talks. I can again in some respects, but I totally disagree overall. Black womem today are not taught the art of being feminine. Being a real woman is so much more than the outward looks of us BEAUTIFUL creatures. We black women are sexy...full...passionate and very real. Where I grew up, we had charm classes and those teachings were backed up by religion. My mother didn't allow eating outside...rollers in the hair in public...talking loud and making your husband the king of his castle. I was raised the old fashion way. You feed your husband first...take care of your household and the MONEY. We've just got away from so many things that make us WOMAN! I'm still all woman and them some.

    on the subject black men are "spreading" for merely taking an in-depth dissection of our race of women based on our uniquely intimate and historically close proximity to them.
    You are dead wrong to be on here trying to foment further discord between the black man
    and the black woman, you are nothing more than a spectator on the sidelines, without the ability to intrinsically know or feel what we go through with the type of black women we must deal with as their primary male consorts by natural attraction and
    instinctive magnetism.
    Whoever and whatever you "are" as a race or gender (lesbians do this shit all the time!), it would behoove you to
    stay out of this, you don't belong in it and don't give me a rant about your "right to free speech" because your speech is designed to destroy what fragile bonds still exist between black men and black women, two groups i feel very strongly you are intent on helping to tear further apart.

    Evidently they don’t need your love or a relationship. It’s their choice.

    Why bw play th masculine role? Mainly bcuz the fathers of their kids have backed out don't want t commit, don't know how t commit were not shown by good role models how t commit n b responsible. So th sista has to b both mother and father wen she don't want to b. Pulling th teenage son up setting him str8t again n again doing th fathers role as well as her own. When a woman then meets z man she can b a little jaggared round the edges cuz of the 2roles she's had to b playing 4 x amount of yrs. It can take patience, time n understanding on th mans part to realise this n some men do. Cuz I know some women want to be loved n treated like a woman n hav the man b the head of th household n play his part n lead. I certainly don't wanna b doing th mans job in th home. It can take time 4some women to let go of all that masculinity n chill. Some of course, wanna stay as they are.
