[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single AA woman, for now anyway. I've dated every race and religion it seems, but my guess is I will marry an AA man. 90% of the black men I know who are married to AA women and had a preference for such. While I do wish more of my fellow sistas would consider dating other races, it's really isn't difficult to meet a decent brotha willing to marry. I do think it becomes more of a challenge as you age because people to marry off in their late 20s/early 30s. But that's an issue across racial lines.

I have never sought out men of other races, but I was always open to it. I didn't think that I would have anything in common with the first white guy I dated, but didn't have a compelling reason to say no. We ended up hitting it off really well, and I kinda freaked out about it. He wanted to be exclusive and I just wasn't ready at the time. His stepmother seemed phony and really interested in my pedigree, which I found offputting, and his dad seemed proud that he pulled a black girl. He was a great guy, pretty naive though. He overshared, because he was excited that his parents seemed so interested in me. So yeah, that was a turnoff. We eventually stopped talking after 4 months because I avoided commitment. I have evolved since then and have dated enough to know that men are men.

I'm an older millineal and have noticed a difference in my gfs who are young Gen Xers vs my late 20 something friends. Most of us millineals have dated nonblack men at some point while those over 35 usually haven't.  Most of my friends are married to brothas, regardless of who they've dated in the past, because that's primarily who we meet. I get approached by other men of color often, and white men maybe 4-5 times a year, but meet professional black men everywhere. [/quote]
