[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is more residentially segregated. Will you want to date where you live? How much do you care about living where you can get your hair done or easily find makeup in your skin color? Do you date interracially?[/quote]

What does mke up and hair have to do w the ops question or make up and hair? As a side note very few black woman “have” to wear make up.  [/quote]

It’s not about [i]having[/i] to wear makeup. I actually don’t wear makeup myself except a little lip stain and mascara a couple times a year. But if a woman does wear makeup and the stores near home only carry shades for Caucasians and Asians, that tells a lot about how diverse or welcoming the neighborhood is. It’s also inconvenient if you do need concealer for a blemish and the CVS near you doesn’t carry your shade, but your date is arriving in 45 min. The same for whether you can get your hair done in your neighborhood. Like OP, I have natural hair. I don’t need chemical treatments, but I do need trims. Most non-AA salons have no experience with cutting 4a or 4b textured hair. I’ve lived in cities where I had to travel across town from my apartment to get a trim, then rush back home to change before a date.[/quote]

I actually agree with this post. I’m a PP. I could only find makeup in certain neighborhoods in Chicago, don’t deal with that issue in DC. Had to travel pretty far uptown to get my hair braided, my other friends had to travel pretty far down south. Chicago is very segregated! [/quote]

I don’t want to come across as overly negative. Chicago is a gorgeous city, lots of food and things to do. People are pretty friendly. Can’t go wrong if you’re choosing between DC and Chicago. [/quote]
