I had a older black male calculus teacher and boy I hated his ass! He really thought he was the 2000s version of Joe Clark trying to save a inner city school.. meanwhile we were in the suburbs. We argued every day, he kicked me out a few times for not paying attention. Called my mom and snitched when I didn’t show up to class but he had saw me in the hallway earlier that day. “YOU’RE GONNA PASS THIS CLASS, IDC IF ITS THE LAST THING YOU DO.. BACK IN MY DAY..blah blah” I wanted him and calculus to go to hell. I ended up getting a B in his class & did well on his final. He had the nerve to pull me to side on the last day “I told you that you were gonna pass my class” **eye roll**All of my black male teachers and professors! Although, one in High school yelled at me for getting tissue and would always play hoop dreams and the temptations (Jesus Christ lmfao), I loved him!
Most older black men that are teachers are phenomenal mentors!
This Black man I'm dating now, I didn't know men like him existed. He's the most amazing, kind, loyal, trustworthy, funny, intelligent, socially aware, emotionally intelligent, hardworking, generous, loving person I've ever met. Just a beautiful soul. He's beautiful inside and out. He's the true definition of a good man. He makes me want to be a better person. He treats me like a queen every single day, he's told me his intentions are to make me his wife, he has never switched up and has always been consistent. He's not toxic. He's tall and sexy. I have not a single doubt about him. Like I'm on cloud nine. He's been in my life as a friend for years and I always knew he was a wonderful person but I was too caught up in a relationship that ran its course and should have ended a long time ago. Know your worth ladies, this is the kind of love that every Black woman deserves. His love for me is unconditional and we have something that is so pure and special. True love, real love. ❤
I was today years old when I learned that cats have TOES. Mind officially blown. Let me google cat toes real quick.My incredibly gifted veterinary surgeon, the former head of the Blue Cross, who saved my 11-year old cat's leg with a difficult and complex operation. She's 6 weeks post-op and walking, climbing and flexing the toes.

This is so beautiful! I’m glad you experienced thisAre we excluding romantic/xesual experiences?
I’ll give one:
I had a group of male friends while I was in college. It was usually the 4 of us. Never romantic, never xesual completely platonic. They looked out for me so much on campus. I never had to walk alone to my dorm at night. They would watch out for me at parties. Our freshman year we didn’t have cars so we would take the train home on the weekends and come back on Sunday. I would always miss the last bus back to campus.. & the train station was probably 15 mins-20 mins away by foot. When I would miss the train they would walk from campus to the train station to walk back with me to campus. That happened ALOT lol.
When I thought I was pregnant (& was) they walked to the drug store to buy me a pregnancy test. (We did a lot of walking back then)..Literally stayed up with me that whole night & attempted to help me figure out how I was gonna tell my mom.
When my babies were born they were the first ones to show up to the hospital with gifts. They came to the kids preschool graduation, birthday parties over the years, my college graduation when I went back to school.
Probably the first time I’ve seen what a platonic friendship with a male looked like without them expecting anything in return. Very solid men to this day.
Lmao, I deadass think about this man dailyWell, this parasocial relationship I am having with Morris is the best!! He does whatever I want, when I want.

LOL. In the end she made a complete recovery, she can leap and sprint, and our vet was amazing the whole way through. He did video calls during lockdown to watch her gait getting better and we had a lot of good conversations. He's a very impressive man, he had to uproot his life in Zimbabwe and start again in Britain and now he's partner in his own practice.I was today years old when I learned that cats have TOES.

Pretty sad state of affairs huhWell I'm not surprised there's not alot of replies....
