Despite lingering stereotypes, do you believe there's a typical black guy and how would he look, speak, dress and behave?

Of course not. I've known guys who were stereotypical nerds and dressed the part. I've known athletic guys who were always in sports clothes. I've known guys from the office who ranged from liking classical music and wearing suits all the time to others who wore baggy clothes and listened to more rap music. There is no one type for any race really.

Do you know black men who are into cowboy gear?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Not personally, but I did see it when I lived in South Texas

Texas is cowboy (and buxom cowgirl) land.(Unfortunately, too many Lone Star ladies and laddies act as if they fell of their horse sans cowboy hat !!!)

Not at all. Different personalities with everyone. My boyfriend is black and ge acts and dresses different than other black guys I've known. Same goes for white guys.

Well for 1 there's always been more than 1 stereotype so there isn't "a" black man.

And 2, what does this low key racist question have to do with dating?

[handsomelad70]

This question is about people's lingering beliefs about how they view black men's looks, personality, dress, and speech. It has little to do with dating us.

Yeah I read that the first time not sure why you repeated it, my answer is the same, there isn't "A" stereotype and what does this have to do with dating?

That’s not a very well written question.
