Why do women want gender equality in the workplace, but not in dating?

But even the answer you give to that is unlikely to be where you were originally from. If the woman has lived in London all her life and feels that's where she's from, I don't see how that can be up for debate...

Yeah I’m black, originally from Nigeria. I was born in London though.
I get your point but I’m far from xenophobic

Originally? I thought you were black?

I classify being originally from a country that my immediate family and ancestors were from. She can feel differently, but I was curious, hence my question.

Fair. I think there are two points:

1. Where an individual is originally from, to me, is where they are born.
2. Where an individual’s family is from, is due to their heritage.

For example, you can be originally from the UK, but your family originated from Nigeria.

I am just pedantic about these definitions because we need to change perceptions that you are less than another person because you are black. Once you are born in a country, you have and should have equal rights to the nation as everybody else.

Fair

Oh I know I’m not less than anyone and that I have the exact same rights as a white British person.

It’s just the way I choose to interpret these things. It’s a bit weird though because a lot of white people wouldnt refer to me as English but my family (aunts, uncles etc.) always comment that I’m ‘too English ‘ because I obviously have a very British accent so it’s kind of like I don’t fit in anywhere but oh well, such is life

You are annoying as hell.

dont quote me, pls. ever.

I am black. By originally, I meant by born and bred in London

This might explain a lot why you want men to approach.

And it also explains why men don't approach you (other than black men).

Can I ask, are you a really dark shade of black or more a lighter shade? (the answer to this question would also explain a lot)

He defeated your argument. You couldn't think of a logical counter-argument, so had to resort to a personal attack. Very mature.

Completely agree with everything you’ve said there. And when a man breaks up with a women, men are ********s etc etc. But when women break up with men it’s ‘you go girl atttiude’ you don’t need him he’s a looser etc etc. Women are very strange creatures.

Yeah I agree.
But its bad for girls too.
For example if a guy had sex his mates would probably be like "what a lad" but if a girl had sex she would get called a slut.
This world needs to fix up
everyone should be equal and as long as no emotional or physical harm is caused to yourself or anyone else you should be allowed to do what you like.

It is easy for a girl to have sex but hard for a guy. Have you heard of a fat stud but there are loads of fat sl*ts.

Women need to understand this and have some control.

If you ask someone where they are originally from then you are referring specifically to them, not their family. If you mean where their family heritage lies then say that.

My grandparents are from Jamaica. It doesn't make me originally from Jamaica. I'm from Birmingham.

This whole post is extremely ignorant

This is odd. What has my skin tone got to this with it? Most men do not approach here, and white men hardly ever. So what is your point?

Some people consider me to be light, although I think I am brown. I am like Kerry washington skin tone

This might explain a lot why you want men to approach.

No it's not. Skin colour plays a big role in dating. Black women get messaged the least on dating sites. https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-107dcbb4f060 I imagine a very similar situation is true in the real world.

Please look at the statistics before you call me ignorant. It's not a personal attack. I don't have any problems with her skin colour, why would I? I'm explaining a possible reason she gets approached less.

When it comes to dating, people are still very prejudiced on looks. This includes skin colour.
