We've been hearing a lot of chatter lately about the disproportionate number of black men available to black women for dating, long-term relationships, and marriage. Walk along the streets of Atlanta or Washington D.C., and you'll hear sistas vehemently denouncing the stats. Both cities have approximately 1.2% more females than males, and both are ranked in the top ten of America’s most populous cities. Even in less populated regions where women between ages 25 – 42 outnumber men by 0.8% or less, black women protest just as much.
They aren't complaining about a lack of quality men; many women apparently think the quality factor has been diminished for quite some time. Instead, women are grousing over the far-fetched notion that to couple themselves with a man of good character, they must reluctantly bend the rules of social etiquette and actually approach some of these brothas.

The whole idea of me courting a guy rubs me the wrong way. I am thinking that if a BW approaches a BM he will interpret it to mean you are making a sexual advance toward him. Also, you have set a precedence. He will become lackadaisical in his role as a man From then on you will be wearing the pants in the relationship. For some people I guess that would be great. But, not me. I am more traditional. I am drawn to Alpha Males. And, I don't have a feminist bone in my body. I prefer traditional roles almost from top to bottom
I did approach a guy once. And, I don't even know if the way I did it really counts. But, it turned out well. This guy was so handsome. I did my little smile thing. He smiled back but that was all. As I was leaving, something alien in me said, "Girl, you better go back in that store and say something to that man, do not let this one get aŵay. " I had never approached a stranger, but there was something about him that I couldn't resist. So, I waited for him to finish his business, then I asked him if he would give me a ride up the hill to my Fathers house. So, there I go getting in the car with a complete stranger. But, it turned out really well. He was the nicest guy. Very generous, respectful, and just, fine, fine, fine. Within six months of dating, he proposed!
every middle school boy knows all four. have we regressed this far?LOL.... I think I know 3 of them, and its funny because I almost posted the exact same words you posted.Do you know all 4, or just 3?
I think your data is off.
1. Both Atlanta and DC have high gay populations
2. I have heard since the 70's the ratio is double digit to one by both males and females in those cities
