[quote=Anonymous]This whole conversation is interesting.  My mom is a black women and my dad is of another race--guess that made them pioneers 40+ years ago when they got married. ;)

I commented upthread that I attended an HBCU and that most of AA female college friends are still not married in their late 30s, despite being accomplished, attractive, etc.  I agree with the statistician that there are far more educated and eligible AA women than men.  Not impossible for educated AA women to get married but the numbers makes it a little less likely since most of us seem to want to hold out for AA men.  In contrast, AA men are *not* holding out for AA women-- just being real--and instead will date a range of other races in addition to black women.

I agree that due to cultural differences black woman and white men may not always be a good match-- for example, many of my AA female friends attend church regularly and would describe spirituality as being important in their lives, whereas I don't know many white men in the same age group for whom the same characteristics would apply.   However, I still for one think that more AA women who would like to be married one day should at least be *open* to  The idea of interracial dating, if only to increase their chances of finding a good match even if they still ultimately end up with a black man.  My two cents.

FWIW,  I'm married to an African guy, and of my few married AA female friends, they are married to mostly AA men but also Swedish, Middle Eastern, etc.[/quote]
