Dating burnout is real and worse for Black women. Ruhama Wolle jumped back into the dating pool — only to find it was a puddle.
Among the relics of 2024’s chaos was a phenomenon as absurd as it was telling: celebrity look-alike competitions. It kicked off with a Timothée Chalamet contest in New York, which quickly snowballed into a full-blown global trend filled with Zayn Malik, Paul Mescal, Glen Powell, and Jeremy Allen White doppelgängers. Naturally, the Black community put its own spin on it. Forget singling out one man — enter Brooklyn’s Black Heartthrob Look-Alike Competition.
These market conditions — systemic racism, what many see as algorithmic bias, cultural expectations and upbringings — disproportionately impact women of colour, particularly Black and brown women. White highlights the disparity he’s personally observed in his years of work in the field: “On dating platforms, white women achieve match rates close to 60%, while Black women see rates closer to 40%.” The divide, he says, grows even bigger when it comes to starting conversations.
