The struggle is real. Not sure if it’s worse. |
Or they have crazy mothers. |
DC is crawling with beautiful, successful women of color. The men know that and instead of settling down, they’d rather enjoy the smorgasbord |

I would say don't stay in one group. Have all kinds of friends and date the same way. When you put a lot of restrictions you are more likely to stay single. Doesn't matter what you look like. |
I was scanning an on line dating site for Seniors last week. An advert from a woman, rather attractive, age 60, stylish, who prominently displayed the following sentence in her profile - “If you live more than 10 miles from (her town), make under $100,000 and under 5’10” do not contact me.” I though “oh ok” lol. |
Minority women have every right to have standards and preferences. Some people do not state their preference but will only swipe positively on skinny, blond, white women. |
You sound like this religious, older lady that I worked with. She thought that I might I should find the 50 year old guy who lived in his mother's basement down the street as a potential mate. As an African American woman, I get ridiculous statements about how I should consider the basement dweller/former prison inmate/unemployed/chronic weed smoking/multiple baby-mamma having guys as potential mates. |
I don't know why any woman over 50 would want to date or get married. Too many other hobbies and fun things to do. |
I think they are holding out for a rich guy. I see this all the time with my Indian in laws. My SIL is 35 and has NEVER had a boyfriend. I find the whole thing incredibly depressing. How can you spend your 20s and 30s without intimacy? The guys that like her are not good enough. They have to be from her cast, have a master's degree etc. The other SIL must MUST marry a doctor as she's a doctor herself. The weirdest thing is that my in laws ( husband's parents) didn't go to college themselves! My father is a doctor and he could care less about the occupation of my husband or his parents education level. I also have an Iranian and Bangladeshi friends who are the same way. Perhaps they really just really don't want to get married at all.

Sure. But both those types of people have no right to complain if their "preferences" result in a failure to find a life partner. |
Some of use like the companionship and intimacy that comes with dating. And we can still enjoy the all the fun things that life has to offer. |
There are many dating options in DC; didn't get married until 40 by choice....had options, but I am an attractive white female. I immigrated to the US from Europe in my teens. I do think it's harder for minority women to date in general. Minority women tend to be more accomplished than their male counterparts, so no interested in marrying within their own community. Many US males have a mental block and only want to date white women, jmo. |
