Nothing's Changed

Really?
Y'all ain't figured it out yet?
Y'all assume that an "educated" (read: successful) woman can't find a man?
But this is not the truth.
Any woman can get a man - if that's what she wants.

But many women are still little girls.
Many still want the popular jock even though he may pass along an unexpected little gift after a night in the hotel room.
Many like the combination of at least some schooling, a fit body, a nice income, a bit of glamour, and the assumed popularity that comes with today's athletes.
Many want the same things they wanted back when they were in middle school.

How did HOVA pull Bey?
Pact with the devil speculation aside - Jay had game.
Jay dominates his field.
What many women desire is dominance.
Which little girl likes the band geek as a child?
But add the money, glamour and fame as an adult and the guy becomes a hot property.

What girl likes the nerd?
Add television appearances and a bit of cash in adulthood and even nerds can get the girls.

What girl wants a square?

Add a few billion dollars and celebrity friends and the guy gets a look.

What girl wants a thug?

What they really want is the protection the thug offers from other thugs.

It's better to be beaten by one man than it is to be beaten and raped by many men.

What do all these men have in common? Protection.

All these men can offer a woman protection from what they fear the most - whatever that may be (poverty, anonymity, boredom, ignorance, etc.).

If a woman's worst enemy is herself - how can any man be expected to protect her from herself?
