This was great, but the title was a little misleading. I was hoping to hear more about dating from different age groups, but it was mostly about the balance with being a wife and mom

Although this was a good conversation, I wish the ladies spoke more about dating and the various aspects about that in today's day and age. Perhaps it's because the majority of the women here are married (correct me if I'm wrong), but because of that most of this video was steered towards topics that apply more to their relationships within their marriages as opposed to what a person who is single expects of their potential partner. I don't know... That's just my take on it.

2/5 were married but I definitely agree. I enjoyed the conversation but I think the topic is a bit off from what they have listed. I think it was more about what expectations people place on us and what expectations we as women sometimes put on ourselves. A nice little table talk though lol.

black love stop teasing us.... this episode need to be a little bit longer (anyone agree)!!!!

The topic was hijacked. The singles did not get to air their take much. Redo with no marrieds.

I agree with the woman in the blue who mentioned that a lot of men and women are dating and looking for mothers and fathers. Not literally and sometimes maybe not intentionally. People go into relationships with nothing to truly bring to the table. I call these “build-a-bear” relationships; like you literally have to spoon feed these individuals in efforts to help them get their lives together like a mother or father would. I wish that this topic was dissected a bit more because it should be addressed for the single people out here. I do agree that it is ok to cook for your partner, clean, and do other domestic duties; but that should not be limited to women. A lot of men and women are not coming to the table with a vision or plan for their own lives, and that is where the mothering and fathering comes into play. Instead they come with overdue bills, bad credit, working at a dead end job that they hate, no passions in life, unorganized, past traumas that they have not addressed, etc. These people then get into relationships/marriages and their partner, who was not aware of all these things initially, are expected or feel obligated to help them get their lives together. That is why it is so important to ask the right questions before getting into a relationship.

How do you get in a Relationship without knowing these things initially?? Before you have sex...have a conversation. Don't assume. This is the start of a relationship. He has a job.

I've been dating my lady for over a year, and I thought I knew how important communication was, but over the past year, I've really learnt the significance of it, it's key. I'm glad the ladies are touching on these dynamics and issues, 'cause once we move in together, I may have expected certain things of her without really seeing how she feels about them, and vice versa, now this is a conversation we can have, so that we are united in getting things done, not just around the house, but also in terms of achieving our personal goals. I love what this channel is doing, keep it going. 🖤

Keep hyping yourselves up....

The problem is that a lot of men want *"stay-at-home-working-wives"* = you go 50/50 on the bills and 100 on the child-rearing/housework. The reason why grandma could cook from scratch & raise babies because, she did not have a 9-5 to go to. I believe marriage is a partnership & do what works for your marriage, if your husband cooks & you clean do it. Don't let anyone who's name is not on the *marriage certificate* tell you what to do.

I like women gathering and discussing. One of the things I miss most in this pandemic. As a single woman who has dated in LA one of the problems is that men think they are the prize. What can you do for them? How can you bend over backwards to please them? Rarely have I seen gentlemen who understands the word courting. Men doing the bare minimum and expecting the most and unfortunately women accepting the bare minimum. I'm off of dating for awhile.

That's often men's with women experience too.

This is much needed. Is it on TV? If not can it be. The fact that they are being so genuine it’s like listening to a conversation your aunties are having at the BBQ that ain’t none of your business, but you listening anyway cause one day it will be your business 😩

The women’s round table conversations seem much deeper than the men’s round table.

I absolutely love these round table talks. It’s interesting to hear varying female perspectives on life and love. One thing I will say about this video specifically. If your torn between motherhood and a career. What decisions went into wanting to juggle both at the same time? I personally feel like it’s ok to be selfish and chase your dreams as a woman. You were a woman before a mother. Why be stripped of that identity just to feel shame for doing what you love?

I so did not know I needed this convo I’m 29 and plan on moving and graduating I’m a single mother and all I find in my current state are ppl that are looking for a parent and not a partner I’m so excited to flourish and grow after hearing this thank you young black ladies true inspirations ❤️

Great conversation but I would like to hear this discussion from women around their 30’s and 40’s!

Stay away from Men and Women LOOKING for Mom and Dad in a Partner. You want to build a relationship with someone whose confident. Please. Stop the bullshit "I'm not in a rush" I not looking for a Relationship. Have the courage to say "I'm looking for love" I want a relationship. Do everything in your Power to find your Soulmate. Just like you give time to find a job or a home. Ladies please stop CHASING these Men.

I asked for a portrayal of a Black love from a younger demographic and you delivered. Thank you @blacklove!!! Representation matters.

I wish this conversation could have been longer! So great hearing from a range of different Black women

Great conversation and these ladies are all very intelligent, beautiful and interesting.

I think the stigma behind stay at home mom plays a part in breaking down a relationship and its something you as a woman feel like you have to do it and be it. That's such a horrible sacrifice bc its like takes away the joy of it based on the expectation of it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️

The lady in blue said the simplest thing that makes relationships work, Men want a mother in their wife. Women want a father in their husband, It's as simple as that. You may not agree but it's the truth...

That is Horse radish, Chocolate Ladies are not academies, training boys or looking to Marry their fathers, That is perverse thinking. The ladies whom are marriage are most likely in 50/50 roles. Date with diversity and your whole perspective will change FOR DA BETTER. Where a woman is in her feminine energy, DO NOT DATE mAN FOR NO MORE THAN 6Months,Cos he will always see you as his MOTHER not his Life partner and that is YOUR FAULT for allowing it. Simple!!!

Queens, it’s important to have your own “plan”, your own goals, your own manifestations so that you don’t fall into the toxic norm of settling into someone else’s plan. When “plans” are one sided, someone suffers, codependency is created, their is an imbalance. Center and ground your self in your own vision and independence queens. Breaking the imbalances of gender norms requires that we level up. I think this table should have women from different parts of the US to open up the perspective a bit more. Look for partners, not parents . That’s how the cycle is broken. Therapy is bae, date therapy to unlearn a lot of this.

Ok, y’all gotta pick better titles, this is probably the 2nd or 3rd video where it almost feels like the title of the video doesn’t encapsulate the actual conversation. But the conversation was good. I could relate.

Some people just like the thrill of the chase and hate getting it easy they want a challenge And everyone always wants what they can't have !!!!

I am moving to LA to pursue my dreams of being a Palm Tree🤞🤞🤞

I’m someone who has too many expectations for others but can fulfill other peoples expectations and ya know what… I’ll just be single at that point

I wouldn't say that men and women are out here looking for mothers and fathers. Many of them are often looking for stability something that they didn't experience in their upbringing. I also think that if your involved with someone that doesn't have a plan do you not have a plan of your own? It's possible that they have a plan it just doesn't include you.

Also the rolls in this can be reversed for years I dated below my means to mother others that I felt like where broken and in all reality it broke me down so I feel like therapy is good for any stage of life I’m seeking one that takes insurances the moment. I have been a single mother for 12 years I’m tired of trying to mother grown adults as well and it would be nice to have an equal partner someone who’s work ethic is as strong as mines

The first speaker, I felt that. Real talk being born and raised in a city of transplants who claim to be from LA is the oddest thing. As a native, you ARE just versus in SEARCH of something. LA gets a bad wrap because of transplants posing and feeding into a narrative. IMO

@@keekonnect I find that a lot of women default to “therapy” for any personal problems, as opposed to saying these men need to “work on themselves.” Therapy can be expensive, and also doesn’t force one to take accountability - it just lends an ear. For some people, what they needs is to read a few self-help books and a good hard kick in this ass. I know women who’ve been in therapy for five years and haven’t changed a damn thing.😊

I think they needa REDO!¿?...🤷🏽‍♀️

Is that is so cute one of you said your mom said when you're not looking for something that's when it shows up that is so true and anything you do then when other person said Society has expectations of gender roles and I feel before you get in a relationship used to talk about that because it is a two sided relationship not one get to know how each other was brought up is that way you can talk about it also when a man or a woman in a marriage make their partner feel secure and they trust each other's lead that person isn't going anywhere it is solid as a rock especially when God is in the middle of it and do book quiz the five love languages to see what your partner love language is and that builds a stronger relationship 2 Teamwork Makes the DreamWork in any relationship everybody should have a planner and my down three things they need to do a day no more then that so you won't get overwhelmed with your day

There needs to be a trained moderator that can help keep the focus on the topic. This was not at all about "dating expectations".

If you listen closely, you can hear them figuring out that men aren’t always the problem.

When you get married as a man and and as woman... Those roles of mother and father are waiting in the shadows for the kids to hit the scene, lol. Unless you are not going to have kids, warm up to the idea of those roles.

Where is the discussion around dating?

I think the conversation steered away from the title. Married mothers are not dating. They are married.

This is definitely about marital relationships. I question the two women who are okay with HIS pior vision determining the course of the OUR current marriage. Lazy!

I can't relate to pretty women and relationships 🤷 we average people don't get good men at all.

The title was misleading.

They never once talked about dating expectations

We not partners.. This team Cooper. I don’t mind paying 100% of the bills coming home cooking and cleaning. All I ask for is some help. Why do black women take “helping” as someone wanting you to be their mother?!

This video is for young women, more so. Where are the women of a particular age??

The video does not talk about dating expectations...... you need to have a panel of single woman talking about their experiences with dating and how expectation can sometimes hinder a relationship. Married woman should not be on a chat about expectations when it comes to dating sorry not sorry.

The one talking abt my husband uuuggghhhh well he iiisssss what is she talking about anyway
