This sounds like a really good book, but the article and headline bug me: DC is an equal opportunity $hithole as far as dating goes.

Do you really believe that the dating scene in DC is *equally* poor for both black and white women, b/c I really don't think that's true. And I'm fairly sure that the statistics are on her side. Also, I fear that your argument dismisses too easily the many legitimate points that she makes.
I will tell you that while at Smith, percentage-wise there were WAY more white women dating than black women, and though I enjoyed my time there, I have never felt more undesirable as far as men were concerned. I think that Andrews is trying to say something about the successful black woman's experience that people are interested in hearing right now. I don't resemble many of her points, but I will say that numbers-wise, most of my successful white female friends are partnered, while so many more of my successful black female friends are not.
I'd be interested to know why you found the headline annoying.
