The Nightly Show Panel - Black Women And Dating

[SouthernBelle]

No more laughable than your viewpoints on dating.

What that I don't date losers like you?

 

[SouthernBelle]

You haven't stated one fact as it pertains to the discussion of the OP.

If you say so.

I'm no more a loser than your physician husband is for marrying you.

 

[William F. Russell]

If you say so.

So I say.

Lol...that's just not how it works. People aren't looking down at other people in the same degree program. That is where most people find their long term mates and husbands.

You are just making shyt up now. Yes, if you can't find a woman in a sea of desperate women then something is wrong with you.

I don't think that this is remotely true.Not in this day and age anyway. Prior to the 50s, yes, it's true, women primarily went to college to meet suiters who would be their potential husbands in a very enclosed dating pool. This was a norm that sort of caught the eyes of feminists during that time and actually influenced women to be what ever they wanted to be, as opposed to taking up vocation trades in college.

Princeton alumnus Susan Patton touched on this a few years back in a NYT's article advising women (primarily Ivy league educated women) to go back to the ol' school way of finding someone in college, because in her opinion, it would be the 'deepest pool' that they would ever have access to.

Either way, thinking fondly back to the times when I was in grad school I can say this. It was nothing like undergrad in regards to romantic relationships. The vast majority of grad students are significantly older and normally (from what I've seen) are either already married, are already dating someone else and/or have children and/or are so focused on their programs (thesis research, field studies, fellowships etc etc) that it's the furthest things from their minds. I'm sure it happens, but I'd find it hard to believe that it happens to even close of the majority. There really wasn't a 'hook up' culture, although you do have that occasional slore in MBA and Law programs who carried her reputation with her where ever she went.

IMHO I think it's ALL about social settings. A doctor and a custodian will 'hook up' if they are hanging out at the same after hours spots. Nothing more nothing less.

So I say.

Cool bro.

That was the whole point of my post though. That it is easier to find someone in college because after college the pool gets dispersed.

I guess it's different at the schools that I've been to because everyone is looking for love/their life partner (even at my current school).

The pool gets dispersed FOR WOMEN.

Yeah it is easier, but I don't think most people in college or grad school are meeting their future wives or husbands there. I know I certainly didn't and neither did any of my friends.

My alma mater actually has a lot of couples (maybe because there were only so many black people on campus...idk).

For EVERYONE dummy.

Wrong, hair hat.

You don't see 40 year old men going on national media crying about there ain't no good women.

Yeah...they are all on the coli. Again, you can call me hair hat all you want. Everyone knows this is my real hair hater.
