Well said Amanda! We definitely are in a new age in the USA!! Now is the time for anyone to find love! I'm a Vietnam Veteran who has dated women from all over the world and have only one real regret. That is not asking a black girl out in New Jersey in the 9th grade study hall. Not just gorgeous in a Pencil Skirt...she was outgoing, friendly, helpful, could relate to every single person she encountered.....and I did not follow my natural impulse to pursue her. Unforgettable to this very day.
You did great, Amanda! I’m a boomer and I would have said the exact same thing! I divorced after over 25 years and found myself drawn into exclusively dating bmales I had nothing in common with just because of their skin color. Older non BM are more active and young at heart. They can be chuckleheads (like any other men) but still respectful, polite and aren’t into women paying for dates. At least that’s been my experience. What I’ve learned is that men are men. On the dating sites I’ve met nice guys but politically we had nothing in common or they were just too political and that’s all they wanted to talk about. Or they weren’t as committed to a healthy lifestyle and that’s important to me. Still, I’m a romantic at heart and I’m holding out for the right guy at this point in my life or I’m fine with just me. Thank you for this and again….you did great, as always!🌹👏🏽🍷
Giving self grace-so important. Give yourself that time to heal and learn who you are, what your relationship is with God. I was married 12 years to a white woman and 13 years to a Jamaican black woman, and one can become co-dependent after that many years where you feel like if you are rejected and divorced that you are worthless. That single time helps you find your value in God’s eyes and that you are valuable on your own. I’ve been single for 2 1/2 years. It’s been the wisest decision to take that time to myself. I leave my future in God’s hands. My preference is a black woman but God will connect me with the right woman and will confirm it. It will be God’s way or no way for me this time. 🙌🏻✝️
Amen 🙏,may God grant you the desires of your heart ♥. I am in the same place with you, asking from God,for a saulmate, best friend and a man who puts God first. Sending you lots of positive vibes and divine grace, from kenya 😊
I'm 61 and just started dating a beautiful 34 year old black woman. She's sweet and we enjoy each other's company. We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend. I wasn't even pursuing any relationship at the time, but I'm glad I was introduced to her.
Thank you for sharing!!! I’m in an interracial relationship in my 50’s. I’m loving the man I’m with. He’s not my first interracial relationship. My last one was a long term one, however, he became sick and wanted me to move on to some one else. Of course it was against what I wanted but he left me. We are good friends now, while he goes through his health issues….
Amanda...great job on the video! I appreciate the positivity and encouragement you gave. As a 51 yr old BW, I've always been open to men of all races, ethnicities but have mostly been in relationships with BM. During my college years, I was in an interracial relationship but it ended due to distance with our schools. Although I have not been keen on dating apps, I did try it but only received messages from BM. I know women in our age range may begin to doubt if we will meet someone, but there is someone out there for everyone.
You are so welcome and I am so happy that you enjoyed the video! You are so right. There is always someone out there for everyone and in my opinion, there are multiple people out there for all of us. It's never too late to find love. You can find a partner at 25,35, 45, 55, and so forth. As long as we are alive there is love to be had!
I know what I like and anyone's opinion can't change my mind lol. I'm especially attracted to black women, always have been. I don't go for apps. Meeting women at places I happen to be at, at any given time is a good way for me. Another great video Amanda 👏😊
@@AmandaAwakens Amanda, even though I was nervous as could be, something was pushing and shoving towards the most beautiful person. Even being tongue tied, I got the words out. We've been talking every day now. I want to thank you for extra encouragement.
It was a tough one because I always try to speak from experience and obviously this is not an experience I have had yet. However, I hope that you all will find this video to be just as informative and well meaning as the others. Thank you for watching and all your support!
Great job once again. I appreciate the work you put in to helping us to "expand our horizons" and possibly not missing out on love. As far as age differences, the first BW I ever fell in love with, literally at first sight, was 9 years older with a 4 year old daughter. I still consider her the one who got away.
@@onevenus6040 I did look her up awhile ago. Unfortunately that ship has sailed. She has her own family now. Apparently, she went back to school and graduated top of her class, so I'm proud of her for that. Thank you for the encouragement though. I appreciate it.
I need to have my mom in here! She is in her late 60s, and has been dating and married (twice) IR to wm since the 70s. I'm sure she has the stories to tell! I feel like with older peoples, its more "stable" if you will...They're not influenced by modern day SM, or social justice movements, etc. in regards to their relationships to the exent of newer ones.
I would love to hear her perspective! I definitely think there is less of an infiltration of others' opinions on relationships among older generations and at the same time I'm really happy that younger generations, especially women, are no longer needlessly tolerating abuse for the sake of marriage or just having a man. I hope at some point we find the balance. Be well!
I’m 54 and just married the love of my life and my best friend. She is a beautiful woman with a heart of gold, originally from Jamaica, age 49. We met on Eharmony back in 2022. We are loving life together and very, very thankful. I never thought I would experience this kind of unconditional love.
Hi Amanda, I am a white man in my 70s my partner is a beautiful African Queen who is in her 40s. We have been a couple for almost a decade , surprisingly she made the first move. What I love about her is her is her total honesty her strong character and her femininity. She keeps me young and l am very fit just because of her. She is amazing ,no moody or sulky attitude. I am a happy old man😂
Amanda. I'm a 55-year old white man who is happily involved with a gorgeous black women who I call her my sexy Nubian Goddess!! Her name is Michelle. I had been a fool, earlier, for letting her go! Because I was so damn stupid as to believe some idiots who knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about her, as a person and, as my beautiful girlfriend! However, we're happily involved with each other and, are making plans for marriage and, starting a beautiful family!! Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve her, her beautiful smile, her love, her beauty, her tenderness towards me and, her real, genuine concern about my well-being and, happiness! Yet, here she is! Showering me with that and, so much more!! It's true! The heart knows what it wants! It wants her! I'm so madly in love with her and, have professed my undying love, loyalty and, eternal devotion to her! I really wanna thank you so very much for putting these series of videos about interracial relationships with black women and, white men and, vice-versa!! It's so helpful and, reassuring to me, at least. Thank you, you beautiful Nubian Queen, you!
That's understandable. It can definitely be overwhelming especially as a woman. Studies have shown that we can 2 sometimes 3 times more messages than men do on any given day. But, it's where I met my sweetheart so I'll always have a soft spot for dating apps.
I have a lot of regrets, and one of them is not being involved in an interracial relationship. When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, it was still considered taboo to engage in such relationships. However, now I really want to experience being in one.
Well, it's never too late! But remember, interracial relationships are just relationships as people are just people. There can be some cultural differences that make for a unique dynamic, but the longer you're with someone the less "different" those differences will become. Ultimately, it's about finding who you are the most compatible with and if that happens to be someone outside of your race, great! If not, that's great too. Be well
Thanks for doing this video,, I honestly was thinking that it’s too late for me. I’m 57 and I’ve always been attractive to white men. My very first love was a white man but I ended up marrying a black man and other than the fact that I’m thankful for my daughters, he just never had ambitions, he was always content with bear minimal. So I divorced him and I just did so much better on my own. But now I want to date, but not having success finding Mr right. Or the right person.
It is definitely not too late! Certain facets of life make certain goals harder to obtain but everything is always possible. I am wishing you the resilience and stamina to continue your journey for love and to keep pouring into yourself in the meantime. 💕✨
I'd like to add that as older people regardless of race we are at a stage in our life where games, mind games are a deal breaker. Older men need to have peace and older women need happiness. It's never too late to find both. Don't give up on happiness or yourself. 👍 go find it! Amanda has great tips to find good WM. (She forgot to mention Home Depot) 😂
Hello amanda thank you so much for your channel..im in a relationship with a white man,i am a black woman we are in our in our 50's and we are very happy....God bless you dear..
Hello Queen! I simply loved this video and uplifting words for a woman of my age and older! I keep reminding myself that’s it is never too late for me and that the best is yet to come. Thank youuu for such wise words, encouragement and tips! Keep your fingers crossed for me!☺️
I haven’t but I could try! Just be gracious with me as I usually speak from personal experiences and that’s not a personal experience I’ve had yet so I don’t know how “accurate” I would be. I’d definitely love to try though if it would be helpful! 💕✨
@@zoejaiattoh1243 That's understandable but honestly there are just horrors in dating whether in person or online lol. Dating apps are as safe as you are when using them. Hope this helps!
Hi my loves! I hope you enjoy today's video and please, if you are someone who is in their 50s and up, share what has worked for YOU when it comes to interracial relationships. It would be greatly appreciated. Love you all and happy Sunday!
Thanks Amanda there's a nice white man who is always friendly to me but I feel like I'm too old you know how men in my age group seem to prefer younger women.. I've been wanting to try to get a chance to talk to him more to see if he might be interested in more than just pleasant conversation..
Hello, hello! I would say if you're interested in him then go for it. Strike up more conversation and try to glean whether or not there's a mutual interest. I'm sorry you feel too old for your peers in age. In my opinion, most of the time those men who chase younger women are not a loss to you. You're likely more mature and would find yourself mentally and emotionally settling if you were in relationships with those men anyway. Wishing you the best of luck and remember you have immense value at any and all ages!
Ok wait I am not a child I know how to be safe I have experienced more that men in their late 40's and 50's are not as interested or open to interracial dating. I have always dated interracially (no limit but mainly American white, European, Asian, etc., I dated personality rather than aesthetics) late 80's to present. However, interracially is NOT the problem it has been difficult to find WM that are single and NOT DIVORCED & ANGRY OR THEY ONLY WANT A 20 year old. I personally have never limited my dating to race or age however the dating apps result in just way too much weirdness so I will totally admit that I just started focusing on everything but dating and I became so cool with it. I am really not willing to put the energy into filtering through the bad in the hopes to finding the rare 💎 At this point if it happens or doesn't I like my life
Definitely wasn’t implying you (or anyone) is a child. I would hope no children are watching my content as it’s not designed for them. I’m glad you’ve found peace with the life you’re living. That’s all we can ultimately hope for. Be well. ✨
I don’t doubt she is beautiful or that you two have a connection but 22 is incredibly young. I’m 31 and who I was at 22 is a completely different person. A 22 year old has not even finished developing on a cognitive level. I just encourage you and her to be careful and go consider the bigger picture so that neither of you are left heartbroken. Be well!
I’m hoping for as many opinions as possible. I knew everyone is different, but for females in the 35-45 year old range is getting in a small plane (4 seat Cessna 172 Skyhawk) something that is comfortable and something they would do or is that a hell to the no for the vast majority of all of you? I am finishing a pilots license so this would be me flying it. When I was 22 I was dating a girl that enjoyed going on lessons with me, but that was ages ago. And women in their 30s and 40s may not be as adventurous.
Hey BLACK MAN HERE i will be constructive as possible I will not come with disrespect. As a black man who works overnight every night trying to build my security company you come across videos of black issues. I’m a black man that look at videos of concern In black problems . You just popped up and it’s sort of division going on between us and record you are no Cynthia g type or one of them others so at work to kill time sometimes I hear what you say ( living in Los Angeles I’m not going to lie and say we are innocent and most black women I talk to here is traumatized)but I noticed something that I been wanting to say and I think it’s inadvertently on your end maybe . Look I think you honestly genuinely have a thing for white men and that’s your preference and rightfully so you have that right hell you have a right to express it on RU-vid. #1 issue I’m seeing with you is you say you are not a extreme divestor page however your supporters have and still (not all some need therapy and one sided statements against black men to justify why being with a white man or other non black #2 you have liked and commented on those type of black women anti rhetoric of blk men (proof) because “blk men don’t do this or do that or don’t make this or make that “ is all personal feelings (numbers ) #3 the comments and clickbait titles shows you know you then type of supporters but hey any subscribers count #4 because off all I said and your constant posts about black women being with white men with no other race of woman is doing that is kind of tedious #5 like it or not you have a extreme divestor page you inadvertently promote “the problem “and it’s not healthy or fair to black men who really want black women who could be confused and setting up some failures among black women let me tell you why When you see blank women spew that black men don’t love black women mess you should correct them by stating the total percentage who does vs the white men or non black men that does and remind them this is our preferences . Also not blocking the negative black men and women shows you understand what’s going on . In reality from dating sites and personal conversations and STATS shows the interest you women have with them is not mutual. I played rugby and lost friends (white) or call them out for the backhanded compliments towards black women when I call them out for their average wives . Media and tv shows white men treat you no more respect than a black man just look how they did angel reese for another white women basketball player. Look how they treat brittney grinder and you allow black women to lie to themselves as if black men don’t love them without looking in the mirror ? Ok Amanda hear this I suppose you love your skin image you got your way and whitemen was looking for black women at a higher rate there will be nothing but mixed women no black fathers to breed black women like yourself and if you don’t care because of your preference then you really don’t love yourself just the idea you’re a black women with a white man but say it’s about race . You will do a lot of your supporters who don’t heal a disservice and tbh I know some of your supporters at bull jiving but it’s not about them And the only time you addressed extreme diverstors you drive passport bros in it as well when it’s a page only about you and your type . Black men ain’t perfect but we are men like white men they have preferences as well the Travis Kielce situation alone along with most undocumented situations do occur . Both black men and women play a part In Colorism . There’s beautiful dark skin people there’s ugly light skin most white men I know like what you accuse black men of going for . When you know you’re beautiful your skin complexion does not matter I live in la but from Atlanta so black love is thriving . You disregarded black love when both parties having insecure problems. Finding every way to divide us we need as much black families in my opinion if you wanna see progress. I heard your supporter say not all black men are Dusty’s like not all non black men are perfect as if they can’t be Dusty’s and we can’t be at least not perfect. Date what you want but I wish you didn’t gaslight these women but if it pays I understand and I should avoid people like you respectfully because it coming off as disrespect and that’s why you getting them rude comments Then act shocked
Mixed people * I’m not against it dating but both parties doing it to spite or brainwashed into thinking the grass is greener or just simply ignorant to their own
I respect your message and that you delivered it respectfully. A)I have never and would never agree with the extreme divestors and have made videos saying as much those just don't get the same type of views and often receive a lot of backlash. I have actually made videos encouraging black women to heal from the hatred that the extreme divestor videos promote. B) I will like/heart all comments on my channel whether or not I agree with them as long as they are respectful because all comments boost my channel's engagement and helps my message to spread and for the channel to grow. C)As far as the world becoming filled with mixed people, that doesn't scare me not because I hate myself but because what I want to contribute to the world has nothing to do with my skin color and because of the fact that I am a product of interracial relationships within my own lineage. In my case I would have more self hatred if I hated interracial relationships than if I didn't. D)As I say in every single video (or if not every single one, most of them) I believe in the power of love and that we should pursue real authentic love no matter where it comes from. If it's love between two black people, fantastic! If it's not, that's fantastic as well as long as it's healthy and thriving. E)And insofar as why I focus on interracial relationships between black women and white men it's not because I think they're superior to any other relationship. It's because I create videos based on two things: a) my person experiences in dating and b) viewer requests. My viewers are predominantly white men and black women asking questions based on my own experience about how these two demographics can come together. We can agree to disagree but regardless of which path you choose, I again appreciate you for being respectful. Be well and have a lovely evening if you're working tonight.
