I like Dallas.

Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington are all like within 20 minutes depending on which highway you're on. I think I-20
 
I wanna go to texas. A couple of years ago Black enterprise had a list similar to this for blacks (not sure if it was for men or women) but like every city in Texas was on the list. I know I read somewhere that Nashville is good for Blacks because the job market is good. I guess thats the case:ohwell:

ETA: im looking to move to dallas in a few years to be closer to my mom. She moved to Oklahoma city almost 2 years ago and dallas is only 3 hours away.
 
Well, I live in Oakland, CA, work in San Francisco and not too far from San Jose and Fremont. I don't have any trouble finding men to date. However, I'm sick of just dating now.

Also, I was born and lived in San Diego until I was 22. I never had trouble dating there either....there might be something to this study, or maybe I'm just hot like that! :lol: :lol:
 
San Jose? Fremont? San Francisco? :confused: I know those cities and I wouldn't say that they are great cities for single Black women. I haven't had problems finding mates, but I hear so many Black women complaining about lack of dating opportunities. I dunno. Maybe San Francisco is a great city, but it has a huge gay population, so that lowers the number of available hetero males, and San Jose and Fremont have a large Asian and latino population that tend to stick to themselves. Who compiled this survey?

You are such a mess, SBQ.:lol: I agree with you and other posters that some of the cities don't really reflect the best opportunities for SBM's.
 
I don't know why DC is on the list. If anything DC has alot of
1. Down low brothers.
2. Wannabe thugs with no job that lives at home with their mother.

NC must be the new Atlanta. I was discussing the possibility of moving further South and was interested in Atlanta but my co worker told me NC is the place to be. I've heard this from a few people now.

Go ahead, make that move, and find your man :)

Yeah, I have family (well my cousin's soon to be ex wife) down there as well as fam right on the NC/SC border.

Everytime I made up my mind, I'd meet some dude and decide to say- then when it didn't work out, I regretted not going.

Maybe that's where I'm supposed to be, I don't know.

I don’t think there’s an abundance of Black men there, but I would argue that the black men there are probably “good catches” (well educated, single, no children, job, no jail). I’m also going to guess that the per ratio (men/women) is more equal there than in other cities like Atlanta or Los Angeles or New York. However, this definitely doesn’t address their personalities and whether they are even interested in dating black women (a fundamental in whether it’s even of benefit that they are there and single—if you don’t like black women, it doesn’t matter if there is an equal # of black men/black women in Utah—get what I’m saying???)

All of my linesisters from Texas were among the first to be engaged. I swear, I think there’s something in the water there. I need to stock up:lol: !
