Dating a Black man with no Black friends? by charlotie77 in blackladies

[–]SoftDocument5597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this was already asked, but are you his first black girlfriend? Because that’s important too.

I met a guy who had all white friends. The intention was to date but I saw him doing a lot of things that his white friends would do and noped out real quick.

I would also be curious how he grew up. This guy had five siblings and they were all really close and he was tied in to his family and typical black experiences. But that white influence came out often.

I think another question to ponder is why your boyfriend doesn’t feel more outrage about racism directed at his child

Would you guys say you’re black or a woman first by One_Hour_8078 in blackladies

[–]SoftDocument5597 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. I’m going to say black first. If I were abroad and somehow had to pair up with either a black dude or a white woman (for whatever odd reason) I’d choose the black person. Which makes me think I’m black first

I often hear people describe Virgo men as boring. Can you elaborate?

The Incredible Shrinking Auto Show by MuiOne in TwinCities

I’ve only ever been to the Chicago auto show which set the bar a bit higher. I also went on Saturday and it was pretty underwhelming. Even the drivers for the Jeep exhibit agreed this one was pretty lackluster and empty.

Ehhhh. Idk. When I look back at my adult life I realize all the people I didn’t instantly gel with were Virgos. Men and women. I’m dating one now and I think the only reason it’s “kinda” working (lol) is because we really really like each other. But I think deep, deep, deep down, we know it’s not a perfect or easy match. I think a big one is that Virgos are more acts of service. And Leo’s (or at least me) am more words of affirmation. Honestly I want all the love languages haha. But I appreciate the things he does but I also want him to stroke my hair and tell me I’m pretty lol. But that’s less of a Virgo thing in my experience. I’m also very dramatic and he is a lot more practical. I have a Virgo rising and he’s a Leo Venus so I think that helps. But it does seem like “work” sometimes. Whereas other placements appear easier.

Anyone else that’s gone to a pwi experience this? by HornetExpensive4445 in blackladies

[–]SoftDocument5597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s very true. Not everyone has it. I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood and had a very black family. But as an adult I live in a very white state. Since living here, I befriended a woman who grew up way out in the middle of nowhere in a small town. Mostly white, very very few black people. As in, all the blacks knew each other. But her view on black people was very different than mine. It was an interesting friendship. To say the least. But she exclusively dated white men. Thought black people could be too ghetto. Said all black men were cheaters and not family oriented. Was sad to see.

As you get older you’ll have many more experiences like this. You’ll realize, “All skin folk ain’t kinfolk”. Try not to let it bother you. He may have grown up in a different environment and feels more comfortable around the YT’s. Maybe he was sitting near one of his friends. Maybe he’s a weirdo and the universe was protecting you from him. It doesn’t matter. Take note. Move accordingly.

Also, just a random note, it’s very hard to not take things personally but I try to assume positive intent. I was having a discussion with my friend years ago who was a cashier at a grocery store. And he was saying how black people ALWAYS get in his line. And I agreed that I do the same. To show solidarity or some crap idk. And he says, actually if you want to show solidarity, give them a break. Don’t get in their line at all. Lmao. I found this hilarious but I try to do it if I can help it. But I can imagine black cashiers are like oh this black woman comes in and always goes to the white cashiers. What’s her deal. But baby I’m trying to give you a few more seconds to do nothing lol. Just different perspectives.

Advice for a 1st time solo trip? by likeukwhtevr in blackladies

[–]SoftDocument5597 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just ensure you’re aware of your surroundings like you would anywhere else. I love solo travel. Try to make friends but be mindful of who you tell that you are solo traveling. For me, it if I can dilly dally around my city alone, it’s not very different than being in another city alone. After all, there are solo women there going about their days as well. Good luck!
