Nostalgic Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey, glad 2 see you took that well Topaze, wasn't sure if you would Like I said before New York is a fabulous place to meet and get to know ppl of all types. Most parts of Claifornia are too, especially Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando are great too, etc...basically any well-integrated city/state. . But really, instead of looking for where to go, since just by being an intelligent and attractive woman, your options are very wide (don't let anyone try to dissuade you otherwise ), it'll be better to figure out the places where you wouldn't want to waste your time--i.e, your current location or say some little suburb in Minnesota or Idaho--get the picture? State doesn't matter so much as the particular neighborhood/town in that state. I don't know canada but surely there must be better integrated areas there than where you live. You should feel comfortable in your environment, not stressed that you're the wrong color, you know? Try to look into it. Link to post Share on other sites
GirlDown Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Originally posted by CurvyGurl [/] One of the biggest reasons I moved south to Atlanta was because I wanted to date black men.

(sorry, curvy-girl, i don't think you're racist, but according to topaze, you would be.) hypocrit. Link to post Share on other sites

SleepingLover Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Aye, Moi would be correct. In larger cities, there is less of a problem with this issue because there is usually a large diversity. I live in the second largest city in Indiana. Indiana is very very very conservative overall, but the diversity here where I live is amazing and the number of interracial couples is huge. Just step outtside the city an all of that changes. Link to post Share on other sites

moimeme Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Huh? That made no sense. Clearly if there are more people, there will be more people who have different tastes. If she wants black guys, she needs to hit the parts of town where they hang out. If she wants other guys, she needs to still hang out where people hang out who date interracially and larger cities will be more likely to have those sorts of places.

No one cares about the ppl who don't like "oranges'. The point is to make her see that there are in fact, many people out there who do. Where she is right now just doesn't happen to be one of those places. Link to post Share on other sites

GirlDown Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 but regardless of who cares about who likes who, it's not going to make someone like something (or someone) that they don't like. people may "care" that i haven't dated other races, but it's not going make me do it just because i am surrounded by more. f*ck the oranges.

You missed the point I think. It IS NOT about making people like yourself like something that you don't. It is mere fact that cities with higher populations and greater diversity have a much higher diversity rating when it comes to dating and interracial couples. People in these cities, also, don't tend to be taken aback or surprised by interracial couples either so the atmosphere for diversity in the dating scene blossoms because nobody cares or tends to take notice too much. Sure, you get a few glances but nobody really stares much. I'm not the type who gives a shiat what other people think of my date anyhow... they can eat my shorts if they don't like it ... and I'll have to be sure to mess them first Link to post Share on other sites

aus_half Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Originally posted by Topaze This thread is a spin off from the Asian male interracial dating thread. A number of people have suggested that Asian men and Black women are not at a disadvantage in the dating world. So, I am going to put it to the men and use myself as an example. This is not a personal ad but a survey. Woud YOU date an attractive, sensitive, caring, and playful Black woman? Please respond and indicate why or why not? Please indicate your race, age and the city, province or state in which you live. I am curious to see if age and region have an impact on any of this. I have dated interracially but I must be honest and say that the majority of men I meet are White and not open to dating a Black woman. I am not sure if that is the luck of the draw or if most men who aren't Black just don't find Black women attractive. Perhaps I have been going to the wrong places. I am open to suggestions about where I can go to meet more men who are open to dating Black women. So, please help me out here. Please be honest but not cruel. Thank you for your help. Well as you may know I`m half Aus/half Jap, 15 and is currently living in Australia, the country down under. You`re saying as if being black is a bad thing when considering i see HEAPS of aussie dudes w/ black women. I personally love Jamaicans and also half-castes. Seriously if you`re having trouble in America, just pop down to Aus and you`ll see that people are alot more open to dating other nationalities (considering australia is very multi-cultural). Saying that you`re 40 and look much younger, I`m somehow getting an image of the Aus Idol judge, Marcia Hines (who is considered as a diva). If ur quite a traveller, y not give aus a go eh??

RecordProducer Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 When I was in college in Paris, I was attracted to a black girl from Zimbabwe. I never had the courage to tell her that, plus she had a BF. She was sexy, cheerful, energetic, slim and cute, and spoke fluently English, French, and Italian. I told her she was beautiful and she said: "No, you're lucky!" I asked her what she meant by that and she didn't tell me. Many years later I figured out that she was talking about me being lucky because I am white. Sad. Link to post Share on other sites
nosybear819 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm a black female and I get approached by all different races. I date mostly white men so yes topaze some white men do find black women attractive- or me at least (smile). Link to post Share on other sites

Why - same reasons as dating any attractive, sensitive, caring & playful woman, plus I think black women are quite attractive anyway. I'm white and in my early 30s, live in the UK.

Please indicate your race, age and the city, province or state in which you live. I am curious to see if age and region have an impact on any of this. Well, as long as her shirt collars and cuffs match, I'm game. I just realized that all but one of the women I've dated in my life were white... and the one that wasn't was half. That's not by design; it's just the way it's worked out. There's a very low proportion of black women where I live. But anyway, I'm white, 33, living in Vancouver, B.C. If I'm attracted to somebody, that's all there is to it. The women I tend to gravitate towards have a pretty consistent set of of attributes, but they can be found in women of any race (skin colour isn't one of them). Link to post Share on other sites
cestdesiree Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 So bad I had to move away. Black men definitely take advantage of the competition between non black women for their attention and affection. My brother says he does't date black women because they don't do what he tells them to do. Booooooooooooo. Anyhow, to the OP-- perhaps a change of scenery is in order. Both of my brothers married white women...they said the very same thing...sometimes I have to stop my brother from saying "Black women are b#tches" and remind him that his mother and sisters are black women.

Academic Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Why is it that so many attractive black women feel they are more attractive or valuable if they are with white men? They speak of their relationships with white men as if they are expecting a trophy or something. With the exception of the South, in most of North America you will almost never see an attractive black woman with a black man. From the models, to beautiful career women, almost all white men. These women have no difficulty attracting men, yet they choose men outside of their race I believe out of this inferiority complex that seems to be pervading among black women in North America. I am surprised that a black woman would move to find more black men. Most (attractive) seem to be comfortable asserting their preference for men outside their race. With what I believe to be the majority of attractive black women with white men, why is it that black women never criticize them? Link to post Share on other sites
tinktronik Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Im a w/f .I have dated white men black men men of black and white mixed race,asian men ,hispanic men and variations of theese races mixed.I too have heard the strange thing about women buying black men expensive things.This is strange.I was married to a man of mixed race black and white , the only thing I have found is that the black men I dated were more likely to cheat,or maybe just easier to catch at it.I enjoyed dating hispanic men but found that their mothers werent really crazy about their sons dating a white girl.Too much hastle.I once dated a man whos family was from India, this worked well except for the cultural differences his mother was an amazing cook.Im with a white man now and happy but I dont think it has to do with his race, more the person he is and compatibility.Ive lived on the east coast US ,Virginia Ncarolina Scarolina Florida,West Coast US California, and Texas where I currently reside.I have several close g/f who I grew up with that are black females , They too claim that They would like to date men of other races but the men tend to not be interested ,They even tend to not be able to get dates with nice black men ,instead either picking from the bottom of the barrel,or not dating at all, and I swear one of my g/f is 10 times the looker I am, this is crazy if I were a guy of and race Id pick her up and run away with her.
