Where to Find Professional Black Women?

[69 others]

I keep hearing professional black women complaining online about not enough professional black men to date. But it dawned on me that I don't meet many professional black women either Maybe the issue is that the two groups don't interact with each other?

I'm in NYC so there are many places black people hang out and you can't tell who is who from everyday encounters. But wondering if there are events or just particular venues those women be at.

I'm also referring to women who are doctors, engineers, etc, and not women who work in support roles in those fields like assistance or general office work.

I have some female relatives who are professionals but we don't really hang out that much (they're married with kids) so don't get much opportunity to meet their friends.
My doctor is a late 30s to mid 40s black woman but she's married and I don't want to ask about her single friends to not make that professional relationship weird.
There are also one or two black women at my job but as always I keep it 100% professional.

So where are some of you fellas meeting these types of women? Are they dating events or general events?

yal gotta stop focusing on dating events/socials

instead look at hobbies and activities you genuinely enjoy - you're more likely to meet quality people at volunteer functions, charity events, rec leagues, yoga or dance, professional development courses/exchanges, etc. and you've got a legit starting point too. you'll find more outstanding people who are actively invested in themselves and their communities there than any ladies night club event.

i don't even think its giving knowledge away either because way too many people would rather deliberately look for drama just to have something to talk about. too many people don't even want to do that stuff anyways lol...

so stop doing that lol

this is what i mean - people get an answer and don't want it. i can point out a new exhibit opening up in my area to my entire office and i guarantee NONE of the ppl would go. they'll instead hit up the bar, find someone to put out if they're lucky, then go back to listening to the same "why are things like this? today we blame ____" podcasts.

Not gonna lie, you’re covering the bases with these.

But I’m going to say online.
To be real, some of the divorced 45-50 YO professional men in my family have met super successful BW on the dating sites you PAY FOR.

But also at professional events, award ceremonies, etc.
