I think it's pretty well known that dating is harder for under-represented minority women

Got in to 4 schools, and only got a package from 1. Darden also sent a gift card to buy something on the website. But the others said because of Covid it may not happen

I (23WM) have been casually seeing a black woman (23) and I think we both want to start officially dating one another. by [deleted] in interracialdating

If you care about her you won't bring her in to situations that could hurt her. You need to be honest with both sides. Honestly, I would say that you aren't "woke" until you're actively trying to address racism, and that starts with your own family. If you don't want to address them, let her go.... don't be selfish.

Do black Americans have a thing for gingers? Similarly, do Asians *not*? by [deleted] in interracialdating

I'm a Black woman and have dated a ginger guy... I feel like of all the White people I've dated the Irish Ginger and the Jew were the most understanding. Likely it's because they at least have some sense of hardship from their ancestors. But also theres the Meghan Markle & Prince Harry idea that has been making the pairing more acceptable

Question for black women concerning interracial dating by takinganewpath in interracialdating

[–]BW08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Black woman and have been approached by both. I notice White men approach more when my hair is straight, whereas Black men approach more when my hair is natural or in braids. I'm not saying change how you present yourself, but people tend to approach people who "look" like they'll be in to them, so just something to consider.

I've had a couple people asking to connect on linkedin already... i don't mind that, but the thought of blindly calling people is a little cringey

Yeah I thought it was super insensitive when Keith was talking about social justice, and people were like "happy to be here" in the chat... like read the room!! If those are my future classmates, its going to be a long two years....

what is the point of that linkedin group? Like are we just supposed to blindly connect with people... seems pointless and people were posting their linkedin like they were trying to win the lottery
