“I don’t think there’s anything much that can be done about the racial aspects of dating (which means that the black young women are overlooked for dating and many white young women quickly pair up-- which can take up any free time to spend with other females)”

Big reason why if I had a D who was hetero, I’d check out the availability of black males at the colleges she’d consider applying to. Being able to have a decent social life is an important issue. College is where many people learn dating skills. Being overlooked because of one’s race is soul shattering. That was my h.s. experience where – due to the fact that there were no other black students in my entire h.s. class, and only 4 others in the entire h.s. of 1,500, I never went out on a date (including prom).

Women of other races are not as overlooked as are black women when it comes to dating. Add to the problem, black men are considered desirable romantic partners by nonblacks as well as blacks.
