Single black female BA seeks educated husband: Race, assortative mating and inequality

I have said it before, if I had a daughter I would not be sending her to university until after she is married.

I had a conversation with a Jewish friend of mine with whom I went to university. The grandmother chastised her for sending the daughter for a master's degree. "How do you expect her to find a husband with all that education?" Educated men are opting for blonde bimbos and educated Black women simply cannot compete in the marriage market.

WHY ONLINE DATING DOESN’T WORK FOR BLACK WOMEN

http://madamenoire.com/502861/online-dating-doesnt-work-for-black-women/

The studies are in and black women come near the bottom of the pile when it comes to finding love on mainstream dating sites.Most daters on mainstream sites like OKCupid, Tinder and Match.com are white. And the statistics say that most of those white men are looking to date someone who “share their racial background.” That means that, for the most part, black women’s profiles are passed by. But as it turns out, even though 93% of people aged 19 to 29 say they accept interracial dating who they actually date is a different story.

BLACK MEN AREN’T INTERESTED IN BLACK WOMEN EITHER

If OKCupid’s studies are anything to go by, black men gave black women the cold shoulder too and vice versa.
A recent study found that black men of all ages were 10 times more likely to initiate contact with white people than other black people.

One dating expert said “If you are a black woman on Match.com and you’re not going to initiate contact then you are not going to date. That’s just the reality.”
To get any response at all, black women have to reach out roughly 1.5 times the amount of any other group — and they are still the group that’s the least responded to.

But men are also more honest online. And that means that black women encounter a lot of profiles that blatantly say “no black women” or other comments that completely rule women out just because of the color of their skin.

Until mainstream online dating sites catch up on colorblindness, many experts say that black women have more success on sites like Meld, BlackPeopleMeet or other sites designed for black people and the people interested in dating them.
