meanwhile older Black women are currntly dying alone in nursing homes. people are also having way less kids, means less siblings = less cousins, uncs, aunts, nephews

older people are increasingly unable to afford retirement and healthcare costs.

shyt is really about to get crazy

Why Black Women Are Aging Alone

Jennings has always taken pride in holding steady jobs — jobs she has loved — like teaching and working at a parish. But in 2013, the Virginia native declared bankruptcy. As an only child who never married or had children, Jennings — now age 65 — had few relatives to lean on for support. “Friends could only help me … so far,” she says. “What family I had — they tried to help me every way they could, but they couldn’t.”

Jennings is part of a growing number of Black women who are aging alone. By 2060, 1 in 4 Americans will be 65 years or older, according to the Census Bureau. Gaps in the U.S. health care system mean that family members often need to provide medical, emotional and financial support to keep their elders alive. But research published in 2017 by American and Canadian sociologists shows that elder Black U.S. women face a “kin gap” — meaning they are without a partner, children, siblings or parents who are still alive — at rates higher than other demographics.

That gap’s also widening faster than for other communities — 2.2 percent of Black women and 1.7 percent of Black men were “kinless” (also called “elder orphans”) in 2015, compared to just over 1 percent of White women and less than 1 percent of White men. These figures are projected to hit over 7 percent for Black women and nearly 6 percent for Black men by 2060. That means 1.6 million Black women — the size of Philadelphia‘s population — will be living without kin by then.

Physicians must be made aware that older adults could lack people at home to monitor their health, experts say. Another solution could involve facilitating tailored one-on-one care that doesn’t require unpaid family caregivers or exorbitant costs — almost like a wedding planner, says Verdery. But half of older adults living alone had incomes below the “Elder Index” — a measure of the income required by those who are 65 or older to continue living independently — in 2019, according to AARP research.

i dont even subscribe to it.

to me a woman is either ugly, avg, pretty(above avg), or gorgeous

I'm saying. Lol The number stuff is so silly to me. Way too much thought into something so inconsequential. Most chicks have cute faces, some faces are pretty and a small number are gorgeous. To me, any chick from average looking on up is wifeable as long as her body is right and she's nice (kind, realistic, etc.)

All you gotta do is stay in shape and not be a bytch and you can't do just that. :mjlol:

Those women are clearly unmarried and miserable. Grandmother's will be remembered due their legacy while these single cat ladies will be quickly forgotten. They should get their tweets popping cause that will ultimately be their legacy..

yeah. My biggest thing to be honest is if you can walk out the house with just Face Moisturizer and chap stick on you are ugly (physically or internally)

I dated a woman like that. She could never leave the house without spending a good chunk of time doing her makeup.

Took a lot of spontaneity out of things. And I am a spontaneous type of guy.

Give me a woman who doesn’t need to spend tons of time doing makeup over the clown masks any day of the week.

this, the make up stuff is a red flag. There is a difference between keeping your health up and that processes (painting your skin, your body, and your NATURAL HAIR) and putting on 'costume'. If you look at a womans social media and EVERY pic is a selfie, or 'photoshoot posing', + make up in all of em abort mission.
