An unpopular opinion but as a married stay at home mom, it's so hard to make friends with single black women (at least in my area). All the single women I try to become friends with either make eyes at my husband, or are into the party/clubbing/going out scene. I have no problem with the latter, but that's not where I'm at in my life. Where can I meet other black women with kids? I live in the bay area.

Is there a reason you’re trying to make friends with single women? I’m married and have friends that are single, but it’s not an audience that I’d specifically be trying to target. Couple friends would be cool, and then you can be friends with the wife. Like others have said, search Facebook for groups. Also meetup is cool. You can meet likeminded people who like to do the things you like to do.

I live in SF but am married with no kids . I think it’s the fact that a lot of young people move here for work but move away once they start a family/couple up. I’ve made a few friends that ended up moving away/back home.

OP have you joined any of the facebook groups for local moms? That is how I literally met all of my friends that have kids was through the local groups. We set up play dates and our kids play and we drink our coffee and chat. I have made some really great friends that way, you should definitely give it a try.
