Why Do So Many Black Women Prefer White Men These Days?

For the record, I am a young, black male. I am all for interacial dating, and I truly think that interacial dating shows progress! For me, I have dated women for all ethnicites, including black women. When I date people, I do not look at their skin color. Sure, I go by looks - Is she in shape? Does she have a nice face? Things like that... but I never look at skin color when I date women. I also look at personality. Anyway, lately, I have been noticing more and more black women becoming involved in white men. Jeeze... I feel racist when I say that, and I see no problem with that. But, I feel that a lot of black women like white men, simply because they are WHITE. I always hear black women say the same thing: -Do WHITE guys like black girls? -I prefer WHITE guys -I love WHITE guys -I only date WHITE guys Again... there is nothing wrong with interacial dating, but I feel that a lot of black women prefer white guys just for being white or they think that white men make the best mates... and I think that's wrong. This is not all black women... but I have noticed this a lot. Disagree? Agree? Thoughts?

  • Me personally, as a black woman I just like men outside my race because I'm so tired of the men who are my race. Not all of them are bad of course, I like some black men. But it's very few that I see who match me as an individual. Also, feature-wise I'm not going to lie black men are my least favorite. I never knew why that was. I think it's because I come from a family where all the black men were controlling, abusive, rapists, and criminals.

    Leaving pretty much every woman in my family broken and single mothers with five or more kids. So it was distasteful to see as a young girl. Not only that but it seems other races, white men, in particular, seem to match the average goals I see a lot of black women want nowadays.

    To have a partner who will be there for their kids, have the finances in order, growing businesses, investing, and being treated better. Also the religious thing, I'm atheist and a lot of black men are raised into religion and stay there. Their goals in life just aren't mine often so I look elsewhere.

    • I hope this is a troll post. Lol. There is no difference between a black and white man except for skin color. My sister (who is obviously black like me) has only ever dated white men. The men she dated abused her, cheated on her, were drug abusers and left her with 2 kids. It's not about race... it's about how the person was raised, but people don't seem to get that and want to point at race as the issue for why they don't date certain me or women.

  • Why do so many BLACK MEN prefer white women these days? Or any woman who is not of the same race as them to be exact? This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Is it just maybe, black women are fed up of carrying and being the backbone of a community of men that in turn disrespects and belittles them?
    P. S it's not just white guys us "sistas" are interested in. We like Asian men and Hispanic men also, or even a touch of Middle eastern.

    Don't get me wrong I think it's close-minded for people to exclusively date one race. The females you are describing probably hold white men on a superior pedestal that is peppered with self hate. In real life BM+BW relationships are more common than BW+NonBM couplings. So I don't see an abundance of black females abandoning black men at alarming rates anytime soon. See that's the fault with a percentage of us... we are just too damn loyal to our men. Hmmm maybe that explains the stereotype of us sticking with "thugs" and baby daddies" after all they have been put through.

    • I dont. I prefer latinas

  • From my point of view, it may have to do with the fact that black males are still foced to carry a stereotype and when they attempt to branch out or be unique they are ridiculed and cast out for not ""acting black"". Maybe black women are finding white males to be more ""themselves". I love my black husband and all his uniqueness and ambition, he was often looked down upon by black males for his sophisticated style of dress. I don't know...

  • Let me count the ways. Preface "on the average"
    We are far more financially stable.
    We are far less likely to commit crimes or tolerate criminality.
    We are generally more polite and respectful.
    We are less dominating sexually.

    More subjectively, we are far more likely to have oral sex on the menu. If you are really good at it many women would want a steady diet of it and would mostly dispense with intercourse.

    • "we are far more likely to have oral sex on the menu" ahahahahah :)

    • "we are far more likely to have oral sex on the menu. " Lmao, so true.

    • @Decemberxbluex Gotta have SOMETHING to make up for our shorter dicks!!!

  • I bet a lot of the interest comes from just being attracted to a lot of white guys features, just like how a lot of white women are attracted to many black guys features or whatever other races interested in each other.

  • Most black women are not even like this. Maybe less than 20%

  • Like almost everything else that's race-related, I think strict racial preferences in the dating world are wildly overblown.

  • I dated a black girl and I did get the feeling after a while she only liked me because I was white. :/

    • That's truly sad :( I date white men because I'm physically more attracted to them.

  • white women like black guys too

    • Do you?

  • LOL they don't. There might be some small percentage of black girls who likes white guys, but where I'm from, the only guys I see black girls with are black guys.

  • I don't like black girls... No racist.
    Why?
    Noisy af. The hair - don't like afro hair.

  • I think most people prefer white people and it isn't just these days
