Houston guy here...... There's a lot to offer in Houston. Harris County has the largest population of black people in the US. Houston is also always top 3 for being the most diverse city in America. There's a plethora of jobs. Houston has the largest medical center in the world. It is the capital of the oil and gas industry, so there's plants and refineries galore. Did I mention NASA, Port of Houston, and surrounding agriculture? We also are an 1.5 hour drive to Louisiana. Lot's of people from Baton Rouge, New Orleans and southwest Louisiana live here. The nightlife is top tier, and there are many black owned venues and restaurants. The Gulf of Mexico is only 45 minutes away, so if you want to go to the beach then have at it. Our culture is southern, Tex-Mex, Cajun and Creole. So you can have a crawfish boil on Friday, bbq on Saturday, and eat some fajitas and tamales on Sunday. Lastly, if you're looking for a relationship there are many single black professionals. Everything from doctors in the medical center to chemical engineers working at a plant. Most men from Houston are looking for traditional women and not city girls or boss chicks. Be careful, because the latina women here are trying to compete with our sisters for the same men.
Houston lifestyle is VERY fast . The women are beautiful. They also have variety I’ve seen a lot of women wear all kinds of styles . The cons the people are broke and trying to keep up with lifestyles. Dallas maybe slower nightlife wise , but the real black wealth is in Dallas , hence the reason I left Houston.
@@EJIMANnenaNgozi Might want to double check your stats on that. According to Blackstar News in 2024 the top 5 wealthiest black communities in TX are in, and around Houston. The 5th is Austin. The next 4 are all in or around Dallas. Houston also has more black people and own a larger share of the cities wealth. Just something to think about for anyone who may see this.
@CraigTilfordJr exactly. Dallas is a good city but they front about the type of money they. Houston has money we just don't define ourselves by it, because we have culture.
Houston is the 4TH Largest city in the USA. Minutes from the Beach. Universities: Rice, U of H, TSU etc. Jobs: Sea Port, Refineries, Manufacturing, Banks, Hospitals, Colleges..Housing: Urban, Suburban, Lux Apts,etc Git in, Fit in. Welcome to TX
I’m originally from OKC and have resided in Houston since 2/2021. Career wise Houston has been great for me, there’s always something to do, however the traffic I can do without. As far as the lifestyle and what’s popular here I march to the beat of my own drum and stay in my lane. I’m a natural woman, with natural hair, I get out for eateries, jazz in the park and events such as that or either family oriented affairs. As far as what’s popular here I simply do what fits me. I’m currently single and that’s fine as well, I believe in time I’ll meet someone I’m aligned with. Hoping to have a love story where we crash our baskets in an HEB or meet walking in the park 🤣 I live a peaceful life here and I Love it! One of my best decisions was stepping out on faith and relocating to Houston and I truly believe the best it yet to come!
yeaaaaaa, type A people gotta let type B people shine sometimes. it’s not bad to be a type B! We all make the world go round. we are just saving our energy for ourselves! shoutout to all my type B’s!
You girls definitely helped me make up my mind. I’m moving to Houston from CLT next year in Aug! Can’t wait 🎉.. I’m so over CLT. I’m ready for something new and fun
Y’all up north && midwestern folks just kill me making it a priority to let people know y’all frm NYC or Chicago while attempting to bash a southern city as if tht suppose to somehow make a difference,First off if NYC && Chicago so consummate why y’all keep running to the south? Why y’all just can’t stay in y’all trashy, dirty, rat && roach infested declining cities instead? Rather then sucking up All Our crisp clean high quality oxygen in the south but I get it we got the culture,food,beaches, weather year round,southern hospitality,top notch entertainment,And wht does NYC have?Times Square?Which has been played out since the early 2000’s same stuff,same people daily, It gets old && boring quick🥱So I see why y’all keep flocking to the#Soooooooooooouth in doves 🕊️🤷🏽♂️🤣
I’ve lived here 12 years and I’m still trying to figure out what all the hype is. It sounds a lot more exciting how they’re describing and even the comments than anything I’ve seen 😂. Houston for me has just been working, living in apartments I mostly hated, too much competition for houses to actually get one and sitting in traffic. Too tired to do anything after that.
People from East Coast cities never like cities where you have to drive almost an hr to do anything or go anywhere. They are used to things being much closer like in NYC or Chicago..just a different layout and vibe
The question on the screen in the beginning of the video is a great one. Houston, has become a place that many blacks are flocking to just like, Atlanta. I’ll pass on both.
As a black man that’s lived in Houston for 12 years, we know whenever someone new comes here they wanna taste test everything, us men we wanna taste all the find gorgeous women here and it plenty and hundreds of thousands more coming the next year, for the ladies it’s guys here for you, I am speaking in the black man side. We go after our black women so if your moving from some place and yall think black men don’t want or chase black women, a week in Houston you will have 10 plus men a day trying to holler at you like it’s the 90s and have over 300 new matches on whatever dating app. We here and we for the ladies, but wear your natural hair, it’s a killer for us, like we go crazy over our black women in natural hair not wigs not weaves we live that Afro we love the locs and braids. Yea it’s a lot of ass down here but you can be slim and trust we gonna still ask you out. Always things to do.
Never chase women my guy. That's simp activity. Level up and the women will put themselves in your view. You make unworthy women the prize when you chase them. Men has forever and will always be the prize, if you the man you're supposed to be
I lived in Atlanta bout 20 years ago in my mid 20’s, I felt the same way you all feel now . I’m from NJ, I’m 6ft tall and was couture model built at the time. I was very anxious that I was not going to fit in. Somehow I found my niche , it could have been my natural beauty, skin, hair, my height, and possibly my size worked for me. I think “the southern thing to keep your hair done”, is actually a bit of shame, self hate and a form of anti blackness… ofcourse to an extent. I’m referring to wigs, weaves, braids, etc
@6ftNaturalBeauty funny you say that. I had a friend that visited NYC. She said that everyone knew that they were from the south because their hair was done. I'm assuming that women in the East Coast wear natural hair.
I am a Native Houstontonian and have NEVER felt to compete with anyone and I have a plethora cultural group of friends. Stop projecting your insecurities about how you feel in the city on everyone else. Houston is amazing and the most diverse city in America. There is something for everyone here. I love my city and take pride in it but it's changing because of all the newcomers and it's sad to see.

Born & raised Houstonian here.
BBL’s here are a dime a dozen. Just good to look at, and keep it moving.
Thanks for listing all Houston has to offer 😀😀
