How come African American women are not into serial dating?
I’ve notice most African American women are not serial daters, unlike white women. Even some of my Asian female friends would go on some random date, and often times it’s with a white male. But, it’s just a date, and most of the time they are not looking for something that is serious. Just a couple of drinks and conversation.
But, when it comes to African American women. The only time, they will go on a date. Is when they really like you. Why is that?
Thanks Tricia and Rosa
Well I never really accepted many dates with men that asked me out for the simple fact, I’m not going to waste any of my time on someone I’m not even remotely interested in. Why should I when I could be doing something else I would enjoy more. I would rather refuse a date with a guy I know I’m not interested in and go out with some girlfriends instead.

Got something to say?
I don’t think the dating thing is their scene. They tend to skip that part

Bad joke…sorry
Maybe because culturally, black women are taught that it’s not good to "date around" or "hoe yourself around". I don’t know how people feel about this. Personally, I enjoy going on dates, but that does not mean I’ll have sex with someone. It’s just, a date. Like I said, it all balls down to culture.

First…for all of those with smart a** remarks, say to a black woman’s face and see what happens. You don’t have the nerve to. Anyway, during slavery, blacks revered the idea of marriage (such as jumping the broom) and they normally stayed with the man that they married. Black women have a lot more responsibility in the household, and many do not have the extra time to date. As far as having too many children, white women do as well, look at the retarded Dugger family. Dont get cute!

Common a** sense
As a Black woman, I find myself to be and other Black women, very serious.
We have been traditionally taught not to be frivolous.
Of course that is changing and to be honest, Black women have often dated men they were not that serious about.
Looking for true love and wanting to be loved and respected are not crimes.
It may also be due to the fact that some women lack the love of their fathers and therefore, are seeking serious male attention.
In any case, it may also be that you have not met any yet that like you personally.

To the creatures who wonder how the unwed mother stats figure in to this poster’s question, it has to do partially with the fact that there are less Black men to date and mostly because most of the Black women who are unwed mothers WERE serious about the men they were with but perhaps the men were not serious…
I guess there serious when it comes to dating and they don’t like to play games..

You can assume that of all black women.

well only speaking on my behalf, for I am a black woman…. to me it’s all about who intrigues me the most. Now, my boyfriend is a black man but his race has absolutely nothing to do with why I am with him. Whoever gets me attention, I’ll give it back. Has nothing to do with race for me…

Why would I go on a date with someone I don’t like???? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

wow, seriously. I think black women feel they have a little more control over their relationship status than most women. Most women feel "i can’t find a good man" and black women think "the good men can’t seem to find me" and im really not looking for them. So they really don’t need to go onto to dates. Cause they a lot of those people who do ask women on dates usually get a yes even they are not interested in the guy. Black women that i went on dates with where upfront, serious, and you were in the picture and if you werent in the picture, you would be going around with them on a date.
I know people say all the time "i don’t care what people think about me". I believe seriously that black women notice their image more than other women of other races do. To be honest i think asain women notice their image as well. I don’t know a lot of asain women who go out on multiple dates with guys.
You have to keep in mind that black people don’t get the benefit of the doubt. People arent just going to be like "shes a slut or loud and thats just her" They will group her with all other black women, same a black male. I think we are aware that we represent other people in our race everytime we do something and if they arent aware, then they are dumb
