There is a shortage of quality black men but from what I hear there is a shortage of quality men looking for relationships in general. With some much free milk there are a lot less guys shopping for cows. If you have a college degree and want him to have one as well it is even worse since you out number him and spent four years in place where free milk is abundant.

Interracial dating can be a little more difficult but into today’s society it really isn't that big a deal anymore. Several of our friends are interracial couples and some of them do fine while others struggle. One of the couples we hangout the husband is black and the wife white and they at least seem to be very happy. Another couple she is white and he is from Mexico and they struggle. They both spend most of their time in the culture they grew up so they end up living very separate lives. They have other problem of course but this makes it worse i think.

There are other possible valid reasons like how your family will react and if you think he is worth alienating them. Does he associate with people from all of race or will he want you to spend most of your time in black culture. If he mostly associate with blacks but mostly dates white girls I would be cautious.

Casual dating I don’t think it would matter, not that I have really ever done casual dating. For me I guess it would depend on the race. I would need to be very interested before I dated a black woman simply because it could cause problems with extended family. No on would disown me or any crazy crap like that but I doubt she would feel that welcome at family reunions. I would still do it if I cared enough about her but it wouldn’t be on a whim. Any other race I think it would depend on if I thought we would both feel comfortable in the culture the other person lives in. That really is a big because no one want to feel like a constant outsider.
