Anwar White explains why Black and brown women use snark as a shield in dating. Feeling safe with yourself comes first, then you can be vulnerable enough to flirt. Dating apps can be practice ground for learning to soften.
Sabrina said, how do I stop from being snarky and sarcastic? If you are going to date well, you have to feel safe within yourself. And for so many black and brown women, it is actually very hard and difficult to feel safe.
We feel safe with our boundaries.
Flirting is a level of vulnerability.
Because you're going to have to put yourself out there. You're going to have to sometimes share feelings. So if you are a black and brown woman and you have difficulty being flirtatious or giving banter or playfulness, it is often because of that. Now sometimes it's because you're just not practiced. Right. We have to practice. And that's where you can use these dating apps to be a practice and training ground for you.
But it might also be an internal safety that we have to find within ourselves.
Okay.
Good.
Awesome. Well, I hope that this was helpful for you.
