[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I keep reading on this forum about the how number of unmarried, professional, young women in this area far outnumber the available and eligible men."

Just because you read something (on an anonymous forum) doesn't mean it true!

It is actually true!

Signed, an AA woman"

No, I'm sorry, there is no data, census or otherwise, that shows this.  You might be able to find some data regarding the city of D.C., but that doesn't show the gender balance over the entire DMV.  And it doesn't break down by age (i.e. eliminating the fact that women live longer than men, so in the 70+ age range there generally are more women than men).  And while some data will show married vs. unmarried, there's certainly no data indicating how many of the unmarrieds are truly single (meaning not living with a partner or in a LTR).[/quote]

I don't think she means an actual gender imbalance, but rather someone with an equal or higher SES. And to that extent, she's right. If you are an AA woman in her 20s-40s in this town, you have an advanced degree and want to date with the goal of a LTR or marriage, you are competing with a lot of peers for a small pool of men who are similar to you. The men know this and many have exploited female anxiety over this by conducting multiple relationships at the same time. This is one reason why increasing numbers of AA women are open to dating non-AA men (swirling).

Signed,

A different AA women

P.S. If you are AA, female, and single, don't keep wasting your time in the DMV civilian fed employee, Big Law, Fortune 500 dating pool. Date active duty military. Insist on real dates, none of this "talking", "hanging", or whatever slang the guy wants to use instead of dating.  Be clear that you want a LTR or marriage. Establish that you are not giving up the cookie for a minimum of 3 months of exclusive dating. Insist on meeting friends and family relatively early on. [/quote]
