We're about the same age, let me ask you a question based on your observances that you notice a difference between married and single white and black women...
There's online/social media life, then there's real life. Do sisters you're around actually have discussions generalizing flaws in black men, or is that more of an online thing? Do they talk about nonblack men in the sense of highlighting their attributes compared to brothers?
Also, do white (and other nonblack) women you're around tall about why they choose to go after black men, or is it one of those elephant in the room secrets no one talks about?
Like I can speak more for men I've been around about this topic, but these kinda conversations aren't really spoken of between genders, hence why I think there's extremists on both sides who portray the other side in a certain light...
I can only speak for my friends but generally nah there’s no bashing of bm collectively when we’re together. it’s about the specific man they’re dealing with, typically.
All of them except one, just date bm. And all the ones that want to be in relationships— that are actually putting themselves out there and are open to them are dating or in relationships with bm.
I have a couple of friends that recycle through men because I personally believe they’re afraid to commit to just one man or have unrealistic expectations. Only one struggles with bm and I honestly think it’s because she’s so damn skinny.
Nah white women and other nonbw don’t talk about ir in front of me. One of my coworkers is a ww married to a bm with biracial children. I didn’t know she was with a bm when we met. Her kids looked Latino, and I didn’t see the full picture so I didn’t her husband in it. I always got a funny feeling when I was around her though. I could never put my finger on it, but she gave weird vibes. I knew something was up with her because of how she wore her hair and acted though lol. Then I found out she was married to a bm and it all begin to make sense lol.
A lot of times the nonbw act funny around us, I have my theories on why it is, but they generally won’t bring it up.
I’ve met some nonbw with bm that have been cool and never acted funny though—a few of my close friends back in Philly were ww and Latina women with bm and they were genuine women (and I have my theory on those types too) so it wasn’t an elephant in the room that they were with bm because they had a lot of black female friends and a lot of black people in their circle to begin with. They weren’t on that fukk bm but hate bw/or feel threatened by bw, type of shyt that a good portion of ww and nonbw are on.
With my friends currently, we dont really talk much about ir dating, because we don’t struggle with bm, so the few that date out don’t impact our options. Plus whenever we see it irl the bm with the ww is generally unattractive or his nonbw is unattractive which paints him in a somewhat negative light because being honest when men choose women way below them it takes them down a notch(that whole who your with, says a lot about you) so it’s generally not men that are on radars to begin with. The only thing that pisses us off is when some bm shyt on bw and put others on pedestals. There’s a good portion of bm that ir that do that. It is what it is.
These are just my thoughts but the women who complain about being single, generally don’t go out or put themselves out there, just work and come home and expect for things to line up and just magically get a man. or they aren’t receptive to men that do approach or to men that are clearly interested, making it hard for the men to feel encouraged to talk to them. Other times they pick the wrong bm—the men that just want to fukk and not commit.
Then a lot of times there’s hang ups—mental and emotional just from being black in this country and the way we are raised as bw makes us naturally guarded and it’s difficult for us to want to put ourselves in a position to be vulnerable.
WW are raised differently from us, and they also tend to be aggressive—they just be asking men out with nfg, or talking to everyone they meet being so friendly and weird lol. Which makes it easier on men. They also are very sexually loose, have less hang ups because they’re privilege makes it easy for them to be open and more likely to be vulnerable, they are easy to bag, and try to be easy going as possible during the dating process to get commitment and marriage. On top of that they are often put on a pedestal, because of conditioning—all of these things contribute to their marriage rates imo.
