This is always a hard one for me. I was always accused of being that girl growing up. I got a lot more black friends in college. In reality, I was a lazy person, so I only made friends with neighbors or classmates. If you weren't either we probably weren't friends.

I feel the same way as you however I tend to mesh well with Arabic people quite well. I went to school with a lot of them and naturally we just kinda click. They don't seem as stiff, boring and snooty as whites. The men are really good looking and have a thing for black women.

Do they? Do you have the source? Caucasians have the easiest because they are majority.

good point, I don't know what "minority" is even being reffered to in OP. Asian are usually ranked higher than whites in earnings from what I've read

I've seen and read about this so many times, from men and women all over the country who've witnessed it.

You're the minority once again.

Good afternoon,

You say the advantages are decreasing but I see no proof of this. If anything, black women seem to be more and more worried about their plight. If the women date interracially, I'm 100% fine with that. Even though I benefit from it, I hope the advantages disappear because of the social problems it has created. This is due to both men and women's bad choices in the face of this situation.

Oh, and thugs SHOULD get the lowest of the low women, they are lowest of the low men. I'm sure many will argue (and prove) thugs date up and down the socioeconomic scale with black women. It doesn't matter who they date anyway, the point is they have no problems finding women to date, just as educated and average black men have no problems. Your OP is about the ease of dating for minorities anyway, so who they date is irrelevant.

Even if you're right about soaring interracial rates, the marriage rates are still within the race 90% of the time for black men.

In regards to your last point, how exactly do black men have it harder? Black women you know may talk a good game about security, but this is not playing out statistically around the USA. See the low marriage rates, high out wedlock birth rates, and high poverty of black (and all other races) single mother headed households as proof that women are passing to security/safety and living with the opposite.

Our women demanded (and received) much better from our men even during segregation times, as the pre-1960s stats show high marriage and low out of wedlock birth rates.

The dating market is hard for all men, but minorities (particularly black men) do have it the hardest because the opposite sex has racial stereotypical views on men of any race.
