Since statically they make less money, I'm speaking mostly men here but what's your opinion?

With who? People in their own ethnic group? People in different ethnic groups? Which minorities? Easier than who? People who live in an extremely rural part of the planet, where people live on less than $1 a day? Than an investment bankers?

Not enough information to have a logical discussion here.

What??? Who has an EASY time dating? It's Dante's 3rd Circle of Hell. The anxiety, the dread, the prospect of rejection, misunderstanding, verbal or emotional abuse, wasted expense, wasted time on people who falsely represented themselves. All this happens to one degree or another.

If you have a decent person with you, hang onto them white-knuckled with your fingernails! And treat them very well.

What the hell? How would making less money make dating easier? Hell, how would making less money make anything easier?

I'm assuming you don't count Asians as minorities, who statiscially have higher average incomes than Caucasians.

And no, minorities do not have it easier in dating. Just look at dating sites that show race preferences and you'll see that Caucasian men are overwhelmingly preferred, even on profiles by non-white women.

That being said, a man can find niche groups within and outside of his own race where his minority status is an advantage.

LOL..Less money.. What are saying about women? I think this is Rush in disguise. Here's a secret about dating. It's all about confidence. Money is not an issue until things get more serious and then when two people are together they will make it work regardlees of the money issues. Don't you know most people are living pay check to pay check and a job loss can put many people of all races on the street?

SMH..Don't believe the hype.

Here's a secret. Many men don't worry about dating. It's not about advantages or disadvantages. It's about getting mine and not caring what another man is doing. Become a hunter.

Which minorities? Certainly not black.

Mod cut: Off topic.

Good afternoon,

I appreciate your opinion, but I'm not the hunter type. I prefer dating women who see me as their preference and take a calculated approach to uncovering who those women are. It's worked quite well for me over the years.

If were in the dating market right now, I wouldn't waste women's time or mine with shotgun approaches, especially since I don't live in a majority-Black city anymore. I'm sure living in Oakland makes your method easier, as it probably would for me if I moved there. When I lived in New Orleans, it was "ducks in a barrel."

Even hunters worry about advantages and disadvantages and other hunters, many prefer not to "hunt" where all the rest are too.

I'm sure your way has worked well for you, so I'm not knocking it. It's just not my cup of tea.
