Despite the news statistics on single black women there are many factors
that influence being single. In America
according to Oprah, CNN, ABC News, and the Washington Post 42% of Black women
are unmarried. 70% of professional Black women are single. Factors that
stand out the most are that:
Too Many
Black Women sucked into Stereotyping of Who
They Are
The perception that Black women are hard to
get along with, mean, bitchy, argumentative, bitter, etc. has become a reality
for too many black women reducing their attractiveness. Their personality of love
for God, family, friendship, being honest, supportive, respectful, emotionally
stable and goal-oriented has been overshadowed.
Black Men Availability
if
you just talk to Black women, many will agree that there are some challenges
finding a "good black man, " that is... one that is not behind bars, gay, or with
other races.
Lack of dating strategies
They
have not consolidated the best dating strategies that are learned from friends,
relatives, one's own experiences and frankly some of the best practical advice
to successfully apply to attract the type of men they want to show up in life.
Black Men Struggles
Unemployment, crime, suicides, homicides, drugs etc has made them
un-datable or too few remaining for family affairs.
Purse of education undermining that Looks and
Fertility Decrease With Age
I know this may be
unpopular, but it is the truth. A woman who wants to have a family should
capitalize on her looks, age, and fertility while she is young instead of only
focusing on chasing the high-powered career. I believe (and of
course I could be wrong) that a man would more likely be with a young, fine
woman that is less educated and makes him feel good (in terms of stroking his
ego) then an average looking woman with a great career and education.
Black Men Don't See Many of the Qualities That They
So Much Admire in Their Mothers and Grandmothers: To say it's
just a shortage of black men is only a small part of the problem, but as Black
women have to re-evaluate who they are and what they are today. Black men
don't see the strong, quiet strength of their mothers and grandmothers; neither
the homemaking nor cooking skills either.
Many Black Women Have Made a Conscious Decision To
Be Single
his is actually
true. I know personally several, married before women but preferred to be
single, especially since they don't want to have children or had break ups.
Practicing Open
relationships
Some black men and
women want to be in an open relationship in order to be with whom they want
whenever or run their own families independently.
