Dating older and/or dating outside our race are two options. Basically expanding the dating pool. Also might need to loosen other criteria like previous marriages and kids 😅
Basically have an open mind or else statistics aren’t on your side.
Expand your social circle!
- join a local volunteer organization that a lot of young professionals donate their time to
- go to more industry conferences and meetings locally
- join an intramural sports team or hiking group
-go to game nights locally
- if you’re a person of faith ( whatever religion) join a group that has young - middle age attendees
The meetup app and Eventbrite are great places to begin to plug in locally
What if your town doesn’t have majority of these things?? Nor my town nor my surrounding areas even has events. I hate the suburbs!
Not sure where you are located but research happy hours that are attended by successful people. Attend as many event at your job as you can. You have to be thoughtful in your approach. Yes it’s hard to find a good mate but you have to treat like anything else you really want in life.
Start dating outside your race. I know it’s hard but statistically only 37 percent of Black men even want us. My problem is y. t. men always want to sexualize us. I thought this guy was a decent prospect, tall, nice looking, VP at his tech company….. all he can talk about is my ass and “waking up next to me”…. Sir we haven’t met yet, chill. I’m kinda over it. Black men have just been flakey and some have A LOT of baggage. Mind you I also live in Atlanta😩😩😩 where dating goes to die. Another possible suggestion. Go to the nearest military base and I bet you’ll be married in 6 months. It’s in the culture especially if you’re younger than 30.
Yeah military men generally aren’t the smartest, and that PTSD and also narcissism reigns rampant with them as well. It’s rough out here
Online dating is a real thing. I met my wife online and know several people who have met their S/O online. Just be smart about when you first meet them(similar to if you met them in person), you want to meet them somewhere public and safe like local coffee shop or popular eating spot.
Definitely discuss this with a licensed mental health practitioner. The sooner you find out why, you can expand your community more

Yeah it’s impossible. Lol the reality of it is I love black man I just wish they would do better and I’m not even talking about a whole bunch better just better than they’ve been doing and I’m sure that there are regular black men out there maybe I just haven’t met them, but I agree with aD1that it is worthwhile to expand your circle and think outside of your box, I think we can be pretty narrow minded because we want what we want

I’m with you on this it is hard. It’s almost like you have to do those fetish apps which is ridiculous
Alot of the things I see holding women and men back are there list of what they want. For instance I have a friend who wants a Mexican man. She has a white guy that likes her but she isn't attracted to white guys.
I’m open to anything, but I do have my basic dealbreakers. Everyone has preferences they cannot overlook. Will that make it harder yes I get that but it just depends on how many standards you have. I don’t have very many.
