When girls think of good, they prolly mean on their level. You're right, there are plenty of "good" Black men out there, but are they what the girl is looking for. You right, maybe Darnell is a good Black man. I ask you this though, can he hang wit Michele who's going to be promoted to C.E.O. of a Fortune 500 company? The number of sucessful Black women is getting ever so higher. Maybe I should've specified what I meant. The number of successful good Black men is far and few between. Don't beleive me? Look at college drop out rates.

And that, my little Dressed-For-Sunday-School, friend is the problem. We're are equating "Good" with money.
What if Darnel is a teacher? He's making anywhere between 30-60k. and that's WITH his Masters.
So because he is making 35k and Michelle is making 100k, that makes him a BAD black man. Or supposedly "Not on her Level"
Or let's look at it from the other way around. FOr those of ya'll that remmeber "Waiting to Exhale" All them cats was Corporate Executives or Lawyers, they was making BAAAAAAANNNNK, but look how they dawged out they women. According to your definition, because they were making the same type of money and ran int he same social circles, they were still on "Their Level" But they still screwed their women over.
Women place emphasis on a man's financial status as a way to determine if he's a good man or not. Which, is good if you want a man to take care of you. But that criteria knocks out alot of guys who might be considered "Good" Black Men, but unfortuantely chose a Profession where they weren't going to make bank.
P.S. Let's get real, we know good and DAMN well, Michlelle ain't about to become CEO of nobody's damn Fortune 500 Company. Let's not allow Condalezza to gas anybody's head up. Black women are makin' strides, black men too, but let's not get delusional. Regional VP or Corporate Director, yea, no problem. But CEO? Nahh...too many old white man are still around to stop that from happening
