10 Types of Women Single Guys Ignore and Why You Should Date Them

Statistically there are more single Black women in the U.S. than there are single Black men. Thus, when a Brotha complains that he “can’t find a decent woman” I am always in a state of disbelief. What he really means is he cannot find his fantasy woman, or if he has found her, she wants nothing to do with him!

Black men often have standards for the women they wish to date or marry that they don’t meet themselves with regards to education, lifestyle, sexual experience, and looks. Every man, even if he looks like Flava Flav or Steve Erkel, somehow believes he deserves to have on his arm a woman that looks like Beyonce that has never been touched by another man. And until such a woman is in his crosshairs, many of these very eligible bachelors stay at home alone on weekends, living a life without fun, romance or sex.

My suggestion is that you fellas broaden your horizons. Open your mind to include women that you might normally overlook. This list includes the 10 types of women men frequently disqualify without a second thought. I suggest you take another look at the following types of ladies, and consider them on a case-by-case basis:

10 Types of Women Single Guys Overlook and Why You Should Date Them

Curated by

The Rich Beyatch: The Rich Beyatch

Many Black men adhere to the old school belief that they must be the breadwinner and have the biggest pay check. They feel that to be considered the head of their household they must have the financial edge.

When you view financial status in a relationship as a tool to control, it follows that you believe the party with the most money also has the most power. Does every woman follow your way of thinking? Absolutely not.

The most important thing here is that a woman with her own is not financially needy. As long as she is willing to share her resources for the common good as you are yours, there should be no problems. Openness and clear communication is the key.
The Single Parent: The Single Parent

The older we get the more likely we are to run into an individual that has a child or two or three from prior relationships or marriages. Yet many men, well into their middle age years, flee from the perceived obligations of “a ready made family.”

If you are in your 30s or beyond, eliminating a woman with children right off the bat reduces your dating options by at least 60%. Unless her children are bratty, undisciplined Bey-Bey’s kids, they will welcome your steadying influence, masculine energy and love. Give it a try!
Older Women: Older Women

Men have been socialized to date and marry women younger than themselves. However, there are thousands of beautiful, smart and sexy single women in their 30s and 40s available for relationships and marriage. Mature women know how to cook, own property, travel, are well read and great conversationalists, and in fantastic physical shape.

They are also skilled in the bedroom, bringing a very open-minded attitude between the sheets. Smart younger guys are dating and marrying women anywhere from 5-20 years older than themselves. What are you waiting for?
Former Strippers or Erotic Dancers: Former Strippers or Erotic Dancers

Black men tend to be very conservative when it comes to the woman they marry, even if they were a complete ‘ho themselves.

Older men tell younger guys “you can’t turn a ‘ho into a housewife!” as if turning a woman into a housewife is the singular goal for all men. If you want a woman that appreciates how you take care of her, and who has the ability to be creative in bed in ways no woman you’ve ever met before can even imagine, you’re missing out on a good deal here.

Remember, a person’s past employment is not who they are inside. Investigate before you eliminate.
Big Girls: Big Girls

She’s been on every diet known to man, but she’ll never be smaller than a size 18. She exercises, so her body is firm, healthy and beautiful. She doesn’t look like a video ‘ho, but she can dance like one! She can also cook better than your momma, sexes you down like a porn star, and she has your back.

Men who prefer fuller bodies on females are often embarrassed to admit it for fear of ridicule from their friends and family. If you are choosing a woman based solely on how she looks because your goal is to impress and gain the approval of other people instead of fulfilling your own needs, grow up.
The Amazon Woman: The Amazon Woman

Men know that women generally associate the height of their man with his masculinity, strength and capability to provide protection. Many women have been socialized to “look up to” their man, but to most women that means she admires his accomplishments, confidence and intellect.

Shorter guys need not be intimidated by a woman’s physical height. Your “Amazon’s” heart and the devoted love she has to offer you are the same size as any other woman’s.
Beauty Queens and Models: Beauty Queens and Models

I’ve observed guys cower in fear when a beautiful woman is near. It’s interesting to see how his initial excitement is reduced by negative self-talk, where he tells himself that he will be shot down, that she won’t be interested in him, that she probably already has a man or is high maintenance.

Some of the most gorgeous women in your city are sitting at home weekend after weekend for this very reason. Grow a pair and initiate a conversation with the next beautiful woman you see. Beautiful women are just people, just like you.
Kinda Messy: Kinda Messy

You like her, but when you finally make it over to her place, it’s a mess! Papers everywhere, books piled high, laundry waiting to be folded. Take a moment and look around.

Is it cluttered and disorganized, or is it downright nasty? Hey, if it smells, there are mountains of dirty dishes, or you see anything crawling, RUN! But if what you see is basically clean, just an environment that shows signs of disorganized living, why not offer to help her get things together? She’ll love you for it.
She Can’t Cook: She Can’t Cook

If you are one of those guys that eliminates a woman because she doesn’t know how to cook, you’re making a big mistake. Do you really think a woman’s only value to you in a relationship is based on what she puts on a plate? For real?

Could it be that you are confusing a Momma with a lover? I mean, why can’t you two grab a cookbook and make that meal happen together?
Plain Jane Geeky Girl Next Door Type: Plain Jane Geeky Girl Next Door Type

She’s not ugly… she may even be really cute. Yet she doesn’t have the heat that makes your Johnson stand at attention the second you lay eyes on her. Men that choose women solely based on sex appeal would totally overlook the geeky girl in glasses that dresses in jeans and sweaters, doesn’t have a weave, and doesn’t wear much makeup. Men tend to notice things that are in their face and sexually excite them immediately, which is why women in booty shorts and halter tops get their attention. I suggest you fellas start focusing on the women you ignored. The lady with the sweet face with her hair in a pony tail, reading by herself or pecking on her laptop in Starbucks could be your future wife and the mother of your children.
