Did we already talk about the Insecure finale?
Hey guys - does anyone have recommendations for Indian wavy 5x5 or 6x6 closures? I was going to order off of Amora Renae (https://www.amorarenaecollection.co/product/thin-swiss-lace-5x5-closure/) but they aren’t restocking. I’m still getting bundles from them, but clueless on another solid company that would have matching hair (friend is making me a wig bc of a natural hair crisis I’m having, I’m absolutely clueless when it comes to anything like this)!

None of those. Good luck. I hope you’re a praying woman. That’s your only hope lol
I just moved to DC and I’ve been having much better success dating wise compared to my last city. Definitely a decent pool of young black professional men out here, you just have to put yourself out there and meet people.
What nightlife events and where do you find them 👀
Dating is tough right now no matter where you go, but DC is across the board no bueno.
A1 is definitely speaking all truth. DC dating is pretty rough.
I grew up in NYC lived in ATL for 4 years been in DC for the last 8 years. There are alot of blue collar black men in NYC with ghetto love story baggage if you're ok with that then you have your pick. AtL has alot of young professional black men but alot of them are suspect and there's alot of the black Hollywood scammer stuff out there. If you're willing to deal with that you'll be str8 oh yes and being attractive helps. DC is very pretentious its all about how good you look on paper not necessarily in real life no one cares. Degrees and credentials are the minimum and yes there are alot of working professional men but you will be sharing your man with other women. I have met amazing men out here bu
This is the most accurate response
Have also been single for a while. I'm interested in seeing what Houston has to offer as I prefer southern men they are more family oriented then northern men
Also wanted to add I don’t date black men exclusively, open to all races bc a fine man is a fine man, so does that change anything?
Damn😂
Pro
NOT DC
I'm from LA, went to college in DC, and moved to NYC for grad school. My single friends in DC struggle to find guys, LA seems pretty rough as well. All my friends who are in serious relationships are dating people they met in high school or college. I consider NYC pretty great for dating. When I was single, I had a lot of fun and success dating casually and it was very easy to find a serious partner. I'm now married. I celebrated my 4th anniversary 5 days ago.

From my understanding, in LA it’s hard to date unless you’re racially ambiguous.
In NYC, it’s hard to date if you don’t want to share your man or you want to settle down.
I feel like DC is the best option, but I went to Howard and pledged a sorority, so my network is strong there.
Even still, I think DC is the most Southern-minded of the 3, meaning people focused on settling down and building Black wealth.
Definitely agree with M2. No matter the race DC is experiencing a polyamory movement. Whether you know or not, you probably will be sharing. Not very family oriented here either, probably since DC is listed as the worse place raise a family. Good luck no matter where you choose. There is someone for everyone, just stay positive.
Depends on what you're looking for, who you're attracted to and how attractive you are to the people you're attracted to. I lived in NYC and am now DC and haven't had trouble. I've always dated lawyers in both cities, not intentionally, but I guess it's because that's my network.
DC is the best of those 3. You should strongly consider casting a wider net on dating apps.
Gentrification really hit DC hard so alot of the black people don't even live out here like that anymore and you have to know people who know people alot of black people now live in MD or on the other side of the river...
LA is rough you gotta be ready for a long stretch. I also think it is dependent upon where you live and what you’re looking for and age is a factor cause men here typically date 7-10 years younger. It can be a problematic city for dating.
As someone who just moved to LA I’m very curious 👀
