White Women who love Black Men come hither

[ZorCrow]

Now I am glad I am on a civilized Website where I can tackle this subject

I am a black man (:fdevil: ) and I find women of all races attractive. I like women that I think look good. Black Women, White women, Asian Women, Arabic Women, Indian (from India) Women, and Latin Women.

I went on a date (twice) with a white woman (brunette) and that was it. I have never had intimate relationships with women of other races. I see that love and lust have no color.

Now, I will not say all women are the same. The beauty of white women is different than the beauty of black women. The beauty of Asian women is different than the beauty of Latin women (Bentleys and Rolls Royces are good looking cards but different).

For those of you who Interracial date or would my question is why?

For those of you who don't my question is why?

Be honest. . .

One thing I want to get through folks heads though is racial stereotypes are not true, not all black men want a white woman and not all European women want black man. There are some who date just to date women of other races who folks in their own race wouldn't date.

If I am going to date a woman of anothe race, like a white woman better believe she is not going to be 400lbs full of warts and acne with 18 kids,
she's going to be the same high quality I expect from black and latin women,
a good woman like Spellbinder. . .:) I think I am too much for her :fdevil:

[Foxfire]

Before I met my fiance, whose a white woman and I'm a white woman too I found black men very appealing. Spellbinder and I would always discuss our love for "chocolate." :D Of course my parents objected to me ever dating a black man because of the racial background, which I thought was crap!

Black men are very suave and they can DRESS very well, the ones I'm friends with. They know how to treat a woman and they are amazing lovers (from what Farrah tells me). I think black men are fabulous, have I ever dated or had relations? No, but I respect anyone who dates an African American. I also believe what women should have the chance to date whoever she deems. I always hated when black women would say "you take all our men." It was never said to me but you hear about it or even see it in movies such as Save the last dance.

I've always thought outside of the "box," I guess I was always a free spirit. I think as long as someone is happy they should be allowed to date whoever they wish, whether its color, sex, religion, etc. :angel:

[Jacob Black]

It is weird.. I love girls of all colors and races and whatnot, but I looked back recently, and found that I had only dated one white girl in my entire life. The rest were either Hispanic or Black LOL ;)

Being a White Male, I find that pretty strange, but I did grow up in a town called Chico, so what do you expect, I guess I like the Latin Ladies!

[Jessica Hamby]

White Female dropping her two cents....

Well.... if you couldn't tell from my various posts on the boards... I find black men quite attractive. I also find some hispanic and white men attractive, etc.

I judge attraction on a case by case basis, lol, I don't care if you are white, black, tan, or BLUE... if you're attractive then that's what you are. And I've found many a white man, many a black man, many a latin man attractive.

*stops to purr at all the attractive men* :hehe:

In the past [and currently], my significant others [all TWO of them, LOL] have been white... I'm a long-term relationship person and I believe in monogamy. I would date a black man, and if I found a man of another race suitable, I would marry him. I dont think interracial dating should be such an issue, honestly. It's inevitable eventually, lol, if you think forward a few thousand years.

[Jill Monroe]

without resorting to the cliched expressions that some people would use in discussions like this...i will just say this:

when i lost my virginity (in my freshmen year of college) the person whom i was intimate happend to be black. it wasnt anything that i had planned out prior to (in terms of what race the person whom i gave myself to would be). it just worked out that way. He was my boyfriend and he was very good to me even before we became intimate. I experienced many wonderful things with him..and we learned from each other. the fact that he was black meant nothing to me but the experiences and memories (we were together for quite a while) are what have caused me to develope a preference for black men.

I do enjoy the company of black men. they are beautiful in all ways...and I find that I can be myself in all ways with a black man and he revels in it just as i allow him to be free with me and in encourage it.

I like you too white woman :o

[FtpIt]

I like you too white woman :o

I think you are getting a little too close there buddy :mad:

[silvercrystal]

I'm asian and I tend to find that I'm not attracted to asian men at all. Asian being that my roots are from pakistan and india. I tend to find myself attracted to guys that are white or mixed-race - white/hawaian etc...

It's not something that my parents would be too pleased with but I can't change my taste. I don't have a lot of asian male friends either, the ones I know tend to clash with my personality.

[Caroline Forbes]

Another white woman dropping in...

I've never really been interested in someone of another race, though my best friends in high school and college were black men. Though I can find men of all types (lol) physically attractive, I've just never been emotionally attracted to someone of another race for whatever reason. Which I would say is probably that I've just not met the right person. I don't have a problem with people who date people of other races than them though - I think it just comes down to a personal preference and what each person finds attractive.

:)

[Oblivion]

Well, I suppose I'm a huge supporter of Inter-Racial dating, because...I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for interractial dating!;). My Father was attracted to my Mother because they loved each other; color is just color in my opinion- if your attracted to someone, it doesn't matter if their a different color, attraction is attraction.

However, I suppose experiance wise- I wouldn't be the best candidate; seeing I'm only 14 years old- and have been in a hugely commited, long term relationship for years (I know- a 14 year old who's commited!?^_~), however- before I met my current girl friend- who happens to be mixed as well- her mom white and her dad black, I dated a few white girls, a few black- and I think just one was hispanic, from Nicargua if I remember right:shrug:. Anyways, I don't think color is an issues in dating- its just color- and although I admit certain people of differrent races have differrent lifestyles of others, or clothing preferances etc. Color is color, and if you are attracted to someone- don't let the color of their skin stop you from expressing yourself.

[Prue Halliwell]

Okay, so I don't even think about race when I start dating someone. It's just not a factor. As long as I'm attracted to someone and I like them it's all good. I don't see what the big deal is.

I've dated men from different races. Most of my family could care less. I have bi-racial cousins and my cousin Michelle only dates black men. (that's where the bi-racial cousins come from) The only one that's ever had a problem was my grandfather and it wasn't so much me dating black men as me dating anyone who wasn't Italian and Roman Catholic. At this point he doesn't care as long as I get married and have more grand-babies. Apperantly I'm an old maid at 20. *rolls eyes and laughs*

Okay, done with the rambling, just wanted to say that I don't get the big deal out of inter-racial dating.

[ZorCrow]

To me I do see and don't see the big deal. I see the beauty in Intraracial dating, keeping our kind going, all races are beautiful but different.

I can interracial it's all about the family of humanity. . . .

What I don't see is "I only date this race or I don't date this race" to me that's silly

But to each his or her own love and being treated well iare the main things.

[Prue Halliwell]

What I don't see is "I only date this race or I don't date this race" to me that's silly

I think the reason why they only date a certain race is what I worry about. My cousin only dates black men because that's who she is attractive to. It's the physical body type she enjoys. (and maybe more then that. I don't know)

I don't think dating only a certain race because of prejudism or stereotyping about certain races is right though and I think a lot of people do that. Someone's race shouldn't be an issue if you like the person.

[Osiris]

I have never been in a interacial relationship, primarily due to cultural bias and taboo. When I was at the age where I started dating, I never approached white women due to what my family would say, besides living in NC and all the racism, I decided it wasnt worth the controversy. While I was in the Marine Corps I had two "experiences" with white women but not enough to know what Im talking about...

Im still a little biased, probably scared or shy about it, and while I dont' have a problem with black men dating outside their race, for some reason it bothers me to see a black women do the same thing. The infamous double-standard. I need help....

I don't know, with all the bad choices I have made with women, I should try something different. I just wasnt aware how many white women actually liked black men! I guess Im finally joining the real world huh?

[Jessica Hamby]

don't be misled darling, we all congregate on this here board.... there are four of us white women fond of black men. :D [obviously, im just kidding]

but anyways... i was curious, why do you think it bothers you for black women to date inter-racially?

[Osiris]

I have no clue, Im messed up in the head, I guess. There are so many racial and cultural stereotypes that are fed to the black male youth about white men and women in some cases, that it takes alot of outside experience and growing up to shake them. Im still in the growing and learning phase about alot of these biases and Im evolving everyday. As I continue to experience new things I begin to let these biases go. My cousin is actually married to a white man, and I love him like family, yet, when im at the mall and see the same thing I get disturbed. Its a mental condition I guess...give me a couple of years.

[Jill Monroe]

i think by being willing to openly and honestly discuss interracial dating, it takes us one step closer to easing at least SOME of the underlying racial tension that effects us all.

to say that "racism is dead" or whatever because its 2005 is a totally false.

and even though its been nearly 30 years since "laws" against interracial marraige/dating have been abolished from most states that once carried them, there are still alot of skewed ideas on this subject.

ive heard and seen some really harsh statements on this matter....and usually it comes form people (white and black) who have NEVER dated outside their race...or been really exposed to multi cultural situations.

i grew up in a middle class environment yet i was fortunate enough to live in an area that wasnt "white washed" and so that really helped broaden my mind and heart's experiences.

some people that i've discussed this with....act as though ive just commited blasphemy for even suggesting such an idea. :confused:

[ZorCrow]

My Co Worker who is interracial (white and black) has a white wife.
Well she comes home crying some days because her white co workers when they are all alone will rip black people left and right, and when she goes places and only white people are only there, she hears them rip black people as well. She is upset becaues her husband is black, and her children are black and she knows they are speaking against them.

I know there are white women who have children by black men, and have dated black men, my question is have you been exposed by to such comments and treatment and how did you handle it?

[Jill Monroe]

i think we had another thread about this..and YOU started it...so when i can find it in this forum, ill merge the two. ;)

anyhow...yes i know how that woman feels...although i didnt cry...i just got upset and totally frustrated. my response was to stand up and fight back. I didnt have to worry about pleasing them..because in most cases they werent friends or family. Skin color prejudice is so ridiculous...and so pointless. There was no reason for me to appease the selfish, narrowminded hearts and minds of people who were so foolish as to speak like that about black people.

even if it WERE a family member or a friend ...i would definately cal them on it and try to talk to them about it. If it appeared that there was no reasoning with them...then i would have to significantly limit my time with them...and reevaulate my view of them.

[ZorCrow]

It' s weird because I know how some BLACK folk talk when whites aren't around. Using racial slurs, saying all whites are the devil, stuff like that isnt' right. Even though all my relatives and family members are black, still it's not right. Two wrongs dont' make a right. sometimes I get angry at the racial prejudice shown to me, and I get the mentality that all white people are evil, some days I have to fight it really hard, one day recently came home and said, "I hate white people, they are all evil,
they are the devil, they are destructive, they can have their no butt ugly women,
they can have their neighborhoods and culture, they can have their world!"

That's not the way to be, not at all. I even told the same co worker, "I don't trust white folk, they all the same." I have to fight that mentality, as I know some whites have to fight it as well. We can't let the foolishness of other people make us stupid.

[Osiris]

Overcomming prejudices is no easy task. As a black man, I too find myself being prejudice towards other races. Its sometimes very difficult to rid yourself of a learned and or nutured behavior. I come from an environment where saying things like "white people are the devil" was normal among other things. The irony of the whole thing is that I have always had and maintained friendships with white people and some are a lot closer than others.(hint :) ). I believe that sometimes people tend to give in to stereotypes even when they don't really feel that way. For example, I have used the "white man is the devil" comment before, yet I never truly felt that way. Its a hard thing....maybe I just need to see a shrink.

In the end it is a two way street. I think that black people need to get it together and realize that we are guilty of the same things we accuse whites of. We shouldnt be so quick to hold white people to the fire over comments, even though many times we are in the same situations we say nothing.

Its a double standard and it is stupid.

Now as far as the original question goes....

If you have a problem with what others say, call them on it, correct them, and move on. You will thank yourself in the morning.

[Jill Monroe]

recently in a discussion, i was told by a black man....that while he wouldnt mind befriending a white woman...and spending time with her...it was highly unlikely that he would date or marry a white woman....because "she" would not undersatnd what he as a black man goes through (racial profiling, surveilance in department stores, subtle racism etc). that kind of hurt..because ultimately its true....i as a white woman cannot possibly understand first hand some of those things..but that doesnt mean i have to be silent about it-- i often voice my displeasure with racism...and have even parted ways with a dear friend because of it. And even if i cannot understand going through it first hand...does that mean i cant support, back up and try to protect the man im with from those things? or is that naive on my part?

but ultimately...while interracial dating may not be as taboo as it wasy 30-40 years ago....it seems that alot of people still are closed in their minds and hearts to it.

honestly..how many people here on this board HAVE or WILL date or even MARRY interracially?

[Greatness]

I do date interacially and I will most likey marry interacially because I feel it doesnt matter. I say big deal that all the bad things happened in the past. Fact is that its in the past we cant change it so why dwell on it. People need to move on and get over it. I was raised to see people as people and know there will be racial profiling but to give into it is a sign of weakness in character. People are people we all breathe, eat, sleep and shit. Most people dont even know why people look different, its simple due to the region of earth your ansestors were born in they adapted differently to the enviornment thus pigment changed and hair changed to meet the different enviornments. This is no reason to think of any race as different because we are all human. I have loved dating interacially and have dated many women my own race as well. Fact of the matter is I am a black man who loves Latina and White women. Its just my taste, trust me I have found tons of Black women I like as well. But when it comes down to it, its the person inside who I fall in love with, the race thing is just attraction.

[FtpIt]

I will never date or marry a woman just because of what her color is...I find that too shallow ;)

[Mat]

honestly..how many people here on this board HAVE or WILL date or even MARRY interracially?

I've never dated a woman of another race but I owe that more to my geographical locale than anything. Conan O' Brien said it best "North Dakota - now with black people".

As of 2000, 92.4% of the state was of Caucasian persuasion, 4.9% of Native American blood, leaving only 2.7% of the population something else. Simply put, there aren't alot of attractive non-white females here who are unattached.:shrug:

That said, I've always had a thing for Latin girls and would go out with one without hesitation. I won't make an issue of race with any potential partners as long as they don't. I'm proud of my French and Irish heritage but besides that, couldn't really care less about race.

[DonDaddyD]

I was reading through some of the replies to this thread and it reminded me of how I felt when I was chatting/getting to know this white girl. She told me she dates nothing but Black guys she went as far as telling me that she could visualise her children as black....

Anyway I asked her what was it that attracted her to black guys and she listed off a whole bunch of stereotypes; 'good in bed, great dancers, great bodies, big dicks, suave, good dressers etc.' I admit she was good looking and was interested in her but after hearing all of that it turned my stomach.

I thought to myself that yeah I'm black but I don't want to live up to any of those expectations, I was insulted that this girl wanted to date me because of some over-exaggerated myth. All I ever want is for a girl to date me and love me for me.

In fact I feel uncomfortable when I hear women at work or in University making comments like 'you haven't been fucked until you've had a black guy.' or 'Black guys are great in bed because they have great rhythm, great dancers.' All this does is make me feel concious about myself because I feel that I'm living towards a sterotype and expectation and nothing more.

I often don't understand when a person says they have one paticular type... each to their own but I have none. For me attraction can grow on you, you can grow to like someone if you give them the chance, this person may not be what your minds eye tells you is immediately attractive but as long as the feelings are in your heart so what.

Initially I get along with black girls easier than I do with white girls but then that is just a cultural thing but when I delve deeper into knowing that person personally and maybe trying to find that 'spark' it may not always be there. Whereas I may end up better friends or more with a person of another race purely based on the compatibility of our personalities.

In the past I have said I tend to go for black girls more often than white girls, but that doesn't mean I only go for one type of girl...

For me Zorcrow said it best when he said The beauty of white women is different than the beauty of black women. The beauty of Asian women is different than the beauty of Latin women (Bentleys and Rolls Royces are good looking cards but different).

I feel that no two girls of any race can be compared physically, it is just what I feel more attracted to on that day.

In the end (and I think it's a London thing) I don't feel I interaccially date, I just go out with the girl I feel attracted to because she is who she is. Her race is secondary to me.

[Jill Monroe]

give me a break. several men in this thread have stated THEY prefer white/latino women...do THEY get the same kind of scrutiny?

cliched reasons or not...people have a preference...and if your going to go so far as to ask them why they like what they like...then you deserve whatever you get for an answer.

there are plenty of black men who will BRAG on those very reasons listed by the person who attempted to suggest that white women have cliched reasons for dating black men..and not every white woman will even list those things.

[DonDaddyD]

I was only ever referring to my own personal experience and my own view and not trying to generalise all white women and Black men.

I'm fully aware that some black men love to live to the stereotype.. but you are right that maybe I shouldn't have asked her why she was attracted to what she was attracted to. And maybe I did deserve whatever answer she gave me.

She could have still been tactfull even yourself (Spellbinder) never came out with those answers;) . - a testament to how classy you are!

Bringing this post back to the topic though so it isn't fucked up further:shrug: I date interracially because I am interested in and mentally an physically attracted to the girl for who she is nothing more.

[DonDaddyD]

This isn't really appropriate for this thread and I'm not going to come with the self rightoues bull for now but I'm a firm believer in your only as good as the person your with.

This is purely based on this, I was once dating this tall dancer Black Girl (she could dance many styles mainly salsa - work her hips) and she had a butt 'like woah' I was left upset/dissapointed but I was also with a white girl who was not a dancer, no butt 'like woah', a whole foot shorter, less experiece and less flexible. But could she go some!

I've experimented, I've done the whole southern and Nothern English girl, Black girl, White girl, Goth, Rock chick, Hip Hop lover, dancer etc.

I have no preference except to which individual can please me. But I'm quickly learning that everyone else I know has a preference except me so my question is can we (should I) generalise?

This stems from a debate I had with a few friends over beer they claimed that one was better than the other, despite having really good cases for each I disagreed. Also I had to deal with a girl saying that she 'tried' black men and hated it. (It did touch a nerve).

I guess I'm coming back to Zorcrow's questions why interacial? and if not why not?

<<Geez maybe I think too much>>

[ZorCrow]

I did this thread because I was just thinking about why do some white women prefer black men? I know to be honest I like black women and women of color (hispanica, indian, asian, et .al) but overall if I like a woman, I like a woman and that's it, race plays little or no part in it.

I can't see why a person would exclude someone from their own ethnic group,
and is it the new "rebellious" thing to holla at a black guy?

Just thinking . . .

[Greatness]

I love all women, I feel it depends on the woman in the end, however. Attraction is 100% of the meeting. I know alot of you are looking at this already like no its the personality, think about this. If you arent attracted to the person do you go out of your way to meet them? Do you go up to people you dont find attractive and ask them out with hope thier personality will allow you to get past that? Most people would awnser no to those questions, if you awnsered yes well bless your heart your one of a kind. In the begining its all about attraction, thats what gets you to talk to the person in a way that will let you get to know them as a person. If your not attracted to people for a certain reason than a type of person than generally you might not date anyone who makes you think of that type of person.

For example: If you dont like people who speak ebonically, chances are you will see that most people in the media who are black speak in that manner so without having to go meet all the black people in the world you will assume they all do. Its the easy way out and thats the way most people like to take things.

I personally dont have any care in the world as long as I am attracted to her and she is a good person. I think limiting yourself is foolish but understandable. Alot of people conform to the stereotypes in society and are to blame for this. I know alot of brothas who seem to feel because they are black they need to act like gangstas and run through females because thats what brothas do. They wondered why I used to get so many more females than they did and no one ever started crap with me. They couldnt see the fact that even though I am black I choose to act the way I want to act, not how society labels me, also I dont approach a beautiful woman with the great line of "Ey Bitch." and hope she turns around.

Basicly people are choosing preferences due to experiances and if a girl or guy doesnt go black or chinese or something else its because someone else fucked it up for you. It has nothing to do with you as an individual if they arent willing to even give you a chance due to color of skin.

[Pam De Beaufort]

did something specific happen? please share details with us...

Well it's not as juicy as you would think. I was at a club and there were A LOT of fine looking black men there. I got to dance with a few and oh my god, let's just say if their moves were good on the dance floor, I can only imagine. LOL

[Mat]

Here's a question for you Zorcrow.

I just recently went to a hip-hop club and noticed that the majority of people there were black men and white women. Of the white women there, the vast majority of them were what most people would consider overweight. How do you feel about the stereotype that black men don't care about weight as much as white men? I'd be interested to hear your response simply because that club seemed to support the stereotype.

[Tommy Udo]

I think it all depends on our backrounds, how we were raised, who what and where we spent a majority of our time, and the comfort level when we were there.
Also can never rule out those pesky hormones that seem to have a mind of their own...
I mean some women are flat out knockouts & don't arouse my curiousity at all.
I look at them like you would a painting...
Then some women considered to be average in looks get my hormones bubbling over..
So I think nature has a lot to do with attraction as well.
I never get offended when a woman says she isn't attracted to me because i know it's a hormone thing...not personal..

I grew up from a baby to 13 in a black-urban-ghetto enviornment.
At 12 I moved to a suburban, mixed college town enviornment comprised of people from all walks of life..

Indian, middle eastern, interracial, asian, black, white, hispanic.

I'm mixed myself, West African-Jamaican-Puerto Rican-Peruvian-Native American-Irish-English-Dutch..
I got peeps tryin' to talk to me from everywhere like I'm from there...

I was spoiled I guess w/ my exposure to peeps from all walks of life.
So what matters to me is simply the person..

I am attracted to a woman of any backround.

My LTR's as an adult have been with women of backrounds of East Indian, Romanian Gypsy, Puerto Rican, Chinese, & my high school love was an Irish Catholic white girl.

I've had close friends through the years that came from Oman, Lebanon, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Tanzania, & England.

I've casually dated the rainbow, literally...lol..

I think the coolest part about this in my experience has been learning all of the cultures first-hand.
In their homes, w/ their families, eating the foods, smoking the water pipes, learning the dances, enjoying the music.

I hate cats who look down on these people, many of whom struggle just to be here. They have to learn a new language, & many of them know multiple languages upon their arrival.

Anyway that's another thread...

The world is heading towards a day when none of this will matter anymore..
It's too bad I'll have to scope it as a spirit somewhere, instead of in the flesh.

[mrfolson]

Hey Shockwave guess wut, I'm a black man from the dirty south(Mississippi) :winkanim: I've dated alot of white women from my college days, to my military days. I enjoy thier company all to well. Believe it or not, the rise in interracial relations in the south is up very high in percentage, especially where I live. I stay about 15 miles from Ole Miss campus, and you all should know the history about Ole Miss, but thier are alot of interracial relations at Ole Miss despite its history. I feel like, people are saying why have we waited so long for this, and that knowbody cares wut anyone thinks anymore. I know I don't care. My family is very supportive when it comes to interracial relations. My question is, wut is everyone so damn afraid of? :cool:

[Osiris]

Society and family can be a big problem when it comes to inter-racial dating.

For those who currently or have dated someone of another race, what did you find to be the most difficult or challenging aspect of your relationship?

Also, do you feel that one or the other of both of you seem to act different around the partner's friends and family?

[Nackereia]

honestly..how many people here on this board HAVE or WILL date or even MARRY interracially?
I never thought about it much...actually, the last time I thought about it, I was 4, and I believed that white people should only marry white people and black people should only marry black people (sorry, I hope I don't offend anyone :$). I think I got that view from my mom. Though, since turning into a teenager, I figure, love is love. And at the end of the day, it's not my choice to make.

Now that I've seen this thread, I think I'll be more open-minded about considering black people (well, this thread in addition to the black guy I saw on the bus yesterday. He was well-built :D). Though, I'll admit, the reason why I haven't considered it before is that my city has the highest poverty level in the state. Alot of people here (not just black people, white people as well) say "the [white] man" is holding them down, when really, it's just their own ignorance and disreguard for anything resembling education. I admit, I do fall into thinking that all black people are as annoying and unfriendly as the ones I know of around here, but then I meet black people at my dad's work, or on the bus, and they're pretty nice.

Another reason I wouldn't consider them before, is that I touched the hair of a male black kid in middle school, and it was far greasier than my own. I'm really sorry, but greasy hair is a bit of a turn off to me. However, if I fell in love with someone and they were black and had greasy hair, I wouldn't hold it against them ;)

In the end (and I think it's a London thing) I don't feel I interaccially date, I just go out with the girl I feel attracted to because she is who she is. Her race is secondary to me.
Same. For the most part, I don't purposely seek out different races to date, but if I ran into someone of a different race and wanted to date them, their race wouldn't stop me.

Actually, I'd love to date a Latino :D Cause they're really georgous! :D

Also, a bigger requirment for me before I date someone is they have to be my friend first, and there has to be some chemistry between us that makes it worthwhile to see if we could be more than just friends. So, I'll cross the race bridge when I get there.

Oh, and Everyone's a Little Bit Racist (http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/avenueq/everyonesalittlebitracist.htm) Great song (link to lyrics ;)).
