How come so many Black Men do NOT date Black Women?

The girl I'm seeing ATM (Caucasian Eastern European) likes black guys. She's asked the question before why her and not other black women and they said they think too much of themselves and and need to much care an pampering. Whether thats true or not, I wouldn't know!

I don't know. the girl my boyfriend dated before me was black and she refused to date black men. *shrug*

Who cares? I have never had much trouble getting a black man that I wanted or one of any other race. If a man doesn't like you, for whatever reason, move on.

Well I often wondered this too. I have spoken to many of my black male friends and they all say pretty much the same thing: black women are loud and too caught up in their appearances. They are not supportive and they are not open-minded in regards to sex or anything else. Men want to be treated like "kings" and they say we don't treat them as such. Now for me, I don't totally agree with theses things. Theres always an exception to the rule. I think that the men I spoke to just had bad experiences with black females because we all know not ALL black females are this way. And it can be someting as simple as preference....people like what they like, can't be mad about that!

Im white (but of hispanic decent) and I have always prefered hispanic of black women... but I tend to mainly date white women because those are the women that usually go for the cowboy type. But really skin color is moot. Heart way matters over color, boob size, boooty, etc.

I think times have changed its 2012 people just date whomever they choose and care less as to what others think...in years passed it was much harder to bring home someone of a different ethnic background for many...but now its much more accepted in many families..so your going to see a lot more of it....get used to it....its not just with black men dating outside their race its with anyone..including myself woot woot!.....this is a VERY old kind of racist question thats been dragged on for years IMHO about why black men are attracted to white or non-black women...the answer is "who knows" every relationship is different.

I don't know, maybe it's just me. But I think that was a stupid question you asked.

For as long as I can remember, my friend has dated exclusively black men. This goes back to junior high. I don't know if she's ever strayed. It's just a personal preference. I was her roomate at the time and there were always black men around. Some of them thought they were gangster- some of them were sweet- some were shy, and some were hard. I imagine black women are much the same. I can see that if you were only exposed to certain personalities of black women, you might assume they were all the same. But I have never personally known a black woman who had that type of attitude about her hair, or her man- only what I have seen on TV. All the black women I have known personally, however, prefer not to date black men. Go figure!



( as a young adult, allot of her black male friends used to hit on me and want me to date them. They weren't my type, plus we didn't really have any of the same interests. They thought I was racist. That was not true, and I hated that! I later did date a black man- because we had the same interests and allot in common and he treated me right. )

I asked DH why he married outside his race. He says that to him it wasn't about color but about how I made him feel.

I think the reasons can't be generalized. Everyone has their own reasons.

I don't find black women attractive. I know alot of times people date a black person so other black people can say she is not racist against blacks.
