Why do black women date outside of their race less often than black men?

Answer 1

I've heard the same fact you have and from what I've heard its because black women are rising socially and black males aren't. More black women are going to college and grad school and becoming successful so natually we want to be with someone who is at least equally successful.

As for me personally I am still waiting for a black guy but I admit I am totally open to dating outside my race. But I also think it has to do with how you were raised. I haven't been in a lot of all-black situations I am more comfortable and used to diverse situations.

Answer 2

Very subjective !! You are making a statement of fact without any facts. Let me give you a couple of facts. Most of the white women that date or live with black men are not the beauty queeens of the caucasian race. Conversely, most of the black women with white men are not going to be elected Miss Ebony either. Most asian women who marry black or white american men only want a ticket to the United States. Those are facts. Just one more. I am white and have had sex with black, white, and yellow women. However, when you get down there and check real close, they are all pink on the inside. Now that is an absolute fact.

Answer 3

I'm not sure, really. I have yet to date but I have been attracted to Asian and White guys my own age. With Black girls, and women, they seem to try forever to find that ideal Black man when an ideal White, Indian, Hispanic, Asian, etc man could be standing right in front of them. I wish Black women would look at other races when looking for mates but, not exclusively other races.

I will say this that, in my own experience, there is a bit of racism towards Black women. I've looked at guys of other races (my crushes have been Asian) but I have been afraid that they might not even turn an eye to me because of my skin color. No one here can get mad at me because it's true and, unfortunately, it still happens. Statistically, Asian men and Black women are low on the dating factor. That could be one of the reasons that Black women won't date outside their race.

But, of course, no one is created equally. You could always ask a woman herself!

Answer 4

I don't think many black women find men of other races that appealing. Most REAL black women like the ***, thickness of the lips and that demeanor about a black man that no one else can possess. Black men who date solely outside of their race tend to either have self hatred or the trophy syndrome..some even do it for the fad. Personally, i would never date outside of my race..I love my bruhs!

Answer 5

guess it depends on the woman...white men typically are not as up front and in your face about there intentions like most black men...I'm saying most here not to offend anyone..shouldn't do it just to say you did it..if you meet someone of any race that you like and find interesting then you advance..dont do it because your sick of the relationships you've encountered that didn't work out. Remember being a young black man has to be extremely tough..the expectations you have to live up to...the clothes and shoes you feel you need to wear because your favorite rapper is endorsing it this month..everyone wants to be a thug?

Answer 6

I guess this would depend on where you live and what is available to you. If you are in St. Louis, Atlanta, Memphis and other locations where there are a lot of blacks, it's common to see that. Go somewhere like Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City and it will be different. I am African American (married now to a Nigerian) and I dated all races when I was out in my dating years!

Answer 7

It's not even close to the same but it is improving. I've lived in DC all my life (60% black now, nearly 75% black in the '70s!)
Always liked black women but it just seems that they aren't very interested in white guys, at least not with respect to serious relationships. Maybe casual dating but I like it serious or not at all.
I've only had three black girlfriends, all foreign-born and two were half white. Wish African American women were more interested.

Answer 8

its not about racist,maybe its a subconscious thing to preserve ones race ,you can be proud of your race and not hate the other. Nature programed us that way. I have seen a black bird and a red bird feed to gather and live in perfect Harmony. But they never mate. So could it be that the mighty black women is the strongest of us all. She sticks to what she fills,while the rest of us falls to fades,M.T.V. and what today's cultural say we should be.

Answer 9

First of all, dating someone should not have nothing to do with their skin color. We all have to get over this whole race thing and just see ppl for who they are and enjoy all colors of the rainbow. I am an african american female and personally I would date any guy it doesnt matter of their racial background.

Answer 10

well u haven't seen me. Almost 75% of the guys i date are not Black. I like men of all colors. I feel sorry for some of my sistas because they are always looking for the "ideal black man" but they really need a ideal man no matter what his color.
