Bias and stereotypes lead to college-educated Black women facing greater challenges in the dating market.
Black women are among the highest educated female demographic in America.
Students and experts told Insider that predominantly white college campuses don't create a fair playing field for Black women when dating.
A viral TikTok of white, female college graduates showcasing their engagement rings while waiting to receive their degrees sparked a conversation online about the pressure on young women at southern colleges and universities to get engaged before graduation.
The phenomenon has many names, but is perhaps most commonly trademarked as "ring by spring" or obtaining an "MRS degree." While the terms can have a negative connotation — implying that a young woman's main intention in attending college is to find a partner – it sheds light on the very real experience of young, white women finding their life partners on campus.
It isn't comparable to the experience of college-educated Black women who are 53% less likely to marry a well-educated man (with at least some post-secondary education) than their white counterparts.
"For Black women attending college, we're really striving to level the playing field or become economically stable. Our goal is to secure a career, and in turn, secure our families," said Anjerrika Bean, the assistant director of Howard University's Center for Women, Gender and Global Leadership. "Securing a spouse isn't the ultimate agenda for us. That doesn't mean we aren't interested in it, but it isn't the reason we are choosing to further our education at said institution."

White women goes after Black men. White men the same with Asian women.
So Black women and Asian men are devalued in the dating marketplace in America.
Black women make certain choices.
Black men make certain choices.
Black men and women end up unhappy with the results.
Whitey’s fault.
This makes no sense. The pool of eligible bachelors is the same for all women. Don’t try to make it a issue of race.
That does not mean Asian men will like black women. I have never seen such a pair in the U.S.
Or people should stick with their own kind.
Yep. I don't see Black women wanting to date Asian men either.
Degrees in what?
Since the Black TV Commercial Revolution, which replaced most white trash honkies, we have learned not only are Black women smarter than whites of either sex, but they are Super Geniuses, which makes finding a black man who has not spent time in prison difficult.
Anjirekka….that’s why.
“college-educated Black women...are among the highest educated female demographic in America”
That diploma actually means very little.
They don’t like Pimps and Ex-Cons
This ring-by-Spring is a huge thing at Liberty University
True. It’s almost comical now.
Black women are among the highest educated female demographic in America.
WTF.
The biggest lie have seen in media in a long time. And that’s saying something.
Not true, do you see how much Diversity Officers are making these days?
“I have never seen such a pair in the U.S.”
What? Don’t you ever watch TV? In that world, at least 90% of the U.S. is non-white and every non-white race gets along happily with every other non-white race.
Whatever degrees people in HR get.
“ That does not mean Asian men will like black women. I have never seen such a pair in the U.S.”

LOL - I’ve only seen such pairs in recent commercials. 🤦🏼🤦🏼
LOL...yes, indeed. The “DEI” schtick does pay very well and that job role is filled 100% with that demographic.
