Interracial dating in Chicago

Not sure how many brothas on this forum live in Chicago. But my experience here has been very negative with regards to interracial. I live in Lincoln Park, a very nice neighborhood that is mostly post-college white professionals. The bars are full of hot midwestern white women: blonde, blue eyed, big tits, banging bodies. Unfortunately, they're not open to black guys. Quite a few of them told me straight up that they don't date or mess around with black dudes, and walking around the city I very rarely see interracial couples.

 

CARIBBEAN BLACK MEN FOR WHITE WOMAN

Hello, I am new here and out of a relationship for the past 7 months. I am searching for a white woman 37-52years old that live in Orlando, Florida or vicinity:36-48years old. If you or know someone interested please email me at (frlac40@yahoo.com) Thank you

 

You ever been on a message board before brother?

 

Never been to Chicago, but I've heard from friends that it's just as segregated and has just as much racial tension as Boston and Cleveland. If you want to date WW, you should probably move or at least be willing to travel to meet one.

 

Or try the 'burbs.

Interesting to hear this....

 

I can rep the Chi to the fullest; I get around everywhere in IL. You name a place, I been there, or damn close to it, and I always take note of the ladies of course.

First off, Lincoln Park is eclectic, but it may not serve as the IR neighborhood. At the same time, you might run into some more open minded people than you would in some other towns, also, they do have an affluent line that runs through there also.


Chicago can be kind of tricky. You kinda have to be in the right place at the right time. I don't think there are as many communities catering to IR as other states. And when there is, IR “piggy backs” on something like the gay community (which isn't a bad thing). Oak Park is very well known for it's IR and Gay population. I have known many people that have come from over seas for jobs and moved there because it accepting or I have even known people to come over seas just to live in Oak Park because it's accepting. This burb (OP) doesn't have a metropolitan night life though.

But like you kinda have to be in the right place at the right time, and it's more about your presentation skills. I find Chicago to be like most other major metropolitan areas; they all have residents that huddle together in certain communities because of race and income, some communities mesh well because they don't care about race more about income, some communities care more about race (but from an openmided standpoint), and several other categories.

To make a long story short, even if your not in a self-proclaimed IR friendly area, there is always an opportunity & you just have to take advantage of it when you can. I spent my young life in the city, half my adolescent life in on the border of the city and the burbs, and the rest in the deep burbs. I say this to illustrate the progression of geography and diverse set of girls/women. The further I have lived from the city, the better I had to become at picking up women. I live in an area that has it's fair share of diversity, but is predominantly white, and when I go out, I am successful every time, not bragging, but it's true. I had to hone my game, I have had girls--not just white mind you, tell me they don't date bruthas, only to be with me that same night.

My overall advice, be creative, we have a lot of events that draw IR crowds, at Millennium Park, Taste, festivals, Parades, some clubs, bars, lounges, etc. You just have dig, trial and error sometime, get a good crowd friends that like to do different things, and step your game up.

 

Fresh is right, particularly about gay-friendly neighborhoods being easier for IR meet-cutes.

Some upcoming Saturday, head over to Belmont, have a late breakfast or early lunch at Ann Sather's and then shop for awhile at the Alley. By the time you make it to the t-shirts in the back, or at least while in that section (if not earlier at Ann Sather's), you should meet a cute White Woman who is open to dating IR, and with any luck, she will be open to potentially dating you.

On Sunday, go to the Lakefront and adjacent parks.

On a weekday at lunchtime, go to Madison & Dearborn and grab lunch at one of the nearby fastfood places. It's harder approaching gals on their lunch break, but if you're looking for college educated IR-friendly White Women, this is the spot.

Get to know the city better, and you'll find it easier to find a mate. We're the city of neighborhoods, yaknow, so the atmosphere changes dramatically from one to another.

 

Havent been to Chicago in awhile but Lincoln Park is on the Northside right?

That is kind of more of a "yuppie/ young professional" crowd. A lot of the females there go for the abercrombie/banana republic wearing white guys from what I've seen and heard.

If a white girl isnt interested in dating you dont take it personal man. Its not cause she is prejudice or racist, its probably just her preference. The northside is a pretty liberal area (Chicago as a whole is pretty liberal) so its not like its cause of racial tension or any bs like that.
Just move on to the next one like Jay Z says. Plenty of fish in the sea:smt023

 

we have personals for that.

 

I like how you change the age range, lol.

 

Chicago as whole may be pretty liberal, but problem is that we are the 'ones' portrayed as carrying out the horrific acts in Chicago, we are looked upon (I'm sure this is true for a lot cities), unless you act and look a certain way (and I don't mean just "black acting white"), black people don't get as much play as they should.

By no means am I scientist, but I get around to a lot different parts of the burbs and I'm always in the city for work and personal social time. I meet a lot different people, and what I find between pure Chicago bred IR couples is that the black man has transcended the stereotypical box in which he's put in, and he's with a white girl that's cut from a different cloth. I have noticed that a lot of younger people 12-21 seemed to be even more open to or have dated interracially then a lot of the 70's and before children.

I feel I'm living proof, I love to participate and do different things a lot, I'll try most things at least once. I have many diverse hobbies, and I would say at least 65% of the white girls i have dated have been taken back about my adventurous, inquisitive, nature. Disclaimer: Of course my hypothesis is only base on my experience and small travel observations in the Chicago, surrounding area, 21 of the U.S. states, and five countries.

 

When I was stationed in Southern IL, I use to drive 5 hours up to Chicago (crazy I know), met a fine, beautiful white chick up there and dated her for about 4-5 months. Never any issues or problems dating her. She didnt live in the crazy 100s or whatever its called. Nobody gave me problems or her any issues. If there is ever a race issue in Illinois it would have to be in western IL region. Pretty segregated area at times. Depends on where you meet the girls in IL or Chicago for that matter.


Ones I dated were in Elmhurst and near Evanston.

 

close enough, Wild 100's (South Side). Yeah Elmhurst and Evanston are pretty mild compared to the South side. Evanston, yes, I've stomped there a couple times for chicks. I'm not to far from Elmhurst, Elmhurst not so much, unless your still collage age (Elmhurst College).

 

Yeah at the time I was college age and found a few. Evanston is most definitely mild. Wild 100s is ridiculous, did date a girl out of there once, bad news. Unbelievable story.

 

kankakee joliet

My wife is from Kankakee which is about an hour south of the city. There are some hot one down there. Met some nice ones before we got married out near Joliet too. Orland Park is cool too.

 

Ha, I have family in Kankakee, one of my great uncles that pasted away several years ago, had a farm where corn was growing. The only problem was that he stopped taking care of the land. My mother and I started visiting regularly only to find that these dudes had started growing weed at the back of his farm, oh, that is a funny story how it all went down. No disrespect to Kee, but they are kinda different "out" there.

Joliet used to be the spot way back, you can tell by some of the really nice architectual homes and bungalows. Now though, that town has gone to shit compared to what it was. I help an older woman out with her house in Joliet. The homes aren't taken care of since the minorities have predominantly occupied Joliet, and it isn't safe, by any means, I can atest to that.

Orland park, predominantly white, you can find so quality ladies there, even some ritzy ones. I also know a lot of cute Americanized Indians out there. Man, I guess I do get around lol.

 

Torque,
In my personal opinion; (and I could be wrong)....that attitude is due, among other things, to the out of control criminal element in your city. The high visibility gun crimes perpetrated by young brothers in that city has probably set us back 25 years.......It gives credence to the notion that to date a Blackman is a risky and wreckless choice....and that even in the black on black crime levels, conclusions illustrate that we have become too barbaric and savage......The tactical thinking among city leaders is probably: "Just keep'em contained and let them kill one-another".............As a black man, with your desires, living in that city, the odds are too highly stacked against you. The task of you selling your personal decency as opposed to what your city white women see, hear and read might be too much. If you can't find Bookworm, you might have to give-up on finding a honey in Chicago.

 

^^

The crime rate in and arround Chicago is so high, and has set records several times in murders in so few days and hours, authorties seriously considered bringing in the National Guard. That's heavy, but what's funny is(actually not funny as I though about what I'm bout to say), if your visiting the Chi, you won't really get that feeling (I've been told that), the violence is concentrated in certain areas (unfortunatly, we all know where, and if you don't, some lite reserach will uncover that mystery).

Nonetheless, I would never in a million years tell someone they shouldn't visit the Chi, much less anywhere else. These types of places exist everywhere you may travel (some worse than others obviously). Yes, and if you come, find Books , and if you can't find her, let me know and I'll personally see to it that you don't leave Chi without a :smt048 on your face...
