[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you consider dating a black man? I'm serious - I'm a black woman, so I feel like I can say this. Read on.

I 100% agree with the PPs that ambitious men (defined as your typical elitely educated, high-earning, athletic types) almost exclusively date and marry their peers. Like the old saying goes, the best way to marry an HBS graduate is to be one yourself. Even better if your family has been summering on Nantucket for generations like his.

But my observation knowing black men of this ilk is that a larger percentage of them (as compared to their white/Asian/Jewish etc counterparts) are willing to consider a more "the man is the plan" girl. So, very pretty, but generally less academically and professionally motivated. Maybe she works in a chill job for a little while in her "waiting to wed" years. This woman is happy to stay home when the kids come, relocate for his career on a moment's notice, and make sure he cilmbs the corporate ladder. Having the hard-charging credential *upfront* just seems to be less important to these men.

This is interesting, because I have a friend who fits this description.  He’s ivy-educated, high earning, and dating for marriage, and actively avoids hard charging career women because he wants a wife who will SAH after kids (and no, he doesn’t think all women should be barefoot and pregnant; he’d be the first to say a woman’s place is wherever she wants it to be).  He doesn’t date white women, though, because he says there’s too much backlash.  [/quote]
