I can only speak from personal experience. I dated (
very briefly) a Black guy who dated predominantly White women before I came along.
I would never do it again. If the KKK allowed Black members, he'd probably be worth of Grand Wizard status.
He had the most negative, stereotypical opinions about Black women. He was color-struck (fixated on light skin even though he & his entire family are as dark as midnight).
He just had too many mental & self-hatred issues. Now, I'm not saying any of those qualities apply to you, but as a Black woman --that's the 1st thing that comes to my mind when I see (or get "a vibe"
) that a certain Black man dates predominantly outside of his race. And that may be why you get those reactions from the "spicy sistas"
you encounter.
If a Black guy has dated an equal number of White, Asian, Latina, light-skinned/brown-skinned/dark-skinned Black, mixed, Hungarian, whatever girls, then it's absolutely no problem....but these "issues" in our community are so bad that I rarely meet a guy who is a true "equal opportunity" dater. And I personally refuse to associate with individuals like that -- on a romantic level, on a friendship level, on a classmate level, or even on a "bring u some cold water when ur dying" level.
It'd be a good name.
i sorta almost
kinda agree with u here. except it doesnt apply 2 me lol. if u look at my post, i said i predominantly "hook up". for me (and er'body else I know) hook up does not equal date. in terms of dating, ive actually dated only 2 women of the caucasian perusasion, 3 spanish chix (Drlyss holla front
) and 1 blk woman (or girl i shud say, err)...so actually i consider my self to be one of those "few" equal oppurtunity daters...in terms of hooking up, ive hooked up with every major ethnicity and i have no paticular preference...but like i said, there is mostly white girls at bars/clubs so it is only natural that one would hook up mostly with em...
also, i will admittedly say that i dont have nice ***** game...i mean, i usually just rely on my smile and my manly chest hair (or lack thereof
) and wait for the girl to really make the first move, or show interest...and guess wat, it so happens that white girls make the move, or they respond to my advances with less critique...like im not gonna front, if im spitting game to a sista, my seven's gotta be pressed, my dunks cant have splotches, and i better have had my du-rag on all nite to make sure my waves are spinnin'....such is not the case with other races, this is not a pre-requiste, but a bonus...
but the reason why i sorta agree with u is cuz ALLL my black male frends, who are less successful with mixing races are OBSESSED with "pulling a white joint." it is sooooo annoying...everytime we go out, its like "what up doc, where the white girls at?? lets holla at sum white joints!!" i try n tell em that u dont just go lookin for a specfic race, you take what you can get. and i dont discriminate. my good frends dont only call me "snow bunny king" but they also call me "General Tso" for obvious reasons
but i feel like my blk frends, and blk men in generals obessission with white women is a combination of insecurity/self hatred and curiosity. we grow up as kids and are conditioned to think that the standard of beauty is that of white women/ white men. and blk ppl in our main stream society who are regarded as beautiful those who have traditional anglo saxxon and aquiline features. brothas go "goo goo gaga" over the light skinned girl with "nice hair" and "light eyes", ask yung berg, and hell tell you why
but i think its unfortunate that you would allow a persons previous dating history to preclude you from dating that person. a person shouldnt be defined by whom theyve dated, but rather by your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual yada yada connection with them. one unpleasant experience should not be a determinant of the rest of your experiences.
and just to add, one thing that REALLY irks me however is how a lot of the blk girls in my class that looked down on us our freshman yr cuz they were sooooo hot for the upperclassmen who were more "mature" and had more bread are now on our nutts cuz they are seniors and they have nobody but us and no1 wants them cuz they were so mean. these are the girls who we catch the most heat from, who claim that we are "settling" bcuz we dont wanna put in the effort to get a "real" woman. ROFL....we are in college, most of us are just tryna get by and what we gotta do 2 happy...taking care of a high maintenance b*tch is not one of my top priorities
