Do you see certain races as more dominant or masculine than others?

This is an interesting point of view. I was talking to this guy about race and dating and it shifted into ideas of masculinity and femininity. This guy said he thinks certain races have more dominant and masculine qualities than others, using this as a reason as to why he will date some but not the others. His favorite women were Asian women, and he said that Asian women were what he really wanted, generally submissive type and the most feminine women. He said this is why Asian men have such a hard time dating in America, because men here are supposed to be masculine and more dominant, and asians are built with "feminine features" and the women have more submissive personalities usually, which leads more men in America to be attracted to them. To the opposite extreme, he had black people, saying that black women were the most masculine and dominant women in both appearance and personality, generally but not all of them. He said this is why black women are known for having the lowest marriage rates and why its such a common thing for successful black women to find partners. They are not only masculine and dominant, but now they are very successful as well. This, he said, is not a good match for black men because they are the most masculine and dominant men. They need a more submissive type to match them perfectly. Again, generally, but not all of them. He was explaining to me that this is why so many black men get women of other races, because they are the most dominant in manner and personality and the most masculine in appearance. A white, asian, etc. woman will see a black man and if she likes him, she will submit to him more readily than a black woman will on average. The black woman's masculinity and dominance is what leaves her at a disadvantage with dating the generally less masculine white and asian men. She may not even be interested because of their lack of masculinity, even though that may be a better match for her. The white, asians may be intimidated by her as well, even if she likes them. White women are somewhere in the middle, he said, with a combination of the two but still leaning further toward the feminine side than black women, but not as feminine as asian women and even native american women too. When it comes to latina women, because they are not all the same race, it depends on the girl, but their culture is generally very macho, so they might be more submissive than black girls in varying levels. Culture was important in his theory, because all of this is American based. He said he thought some black women from areas where feminism is not such a huge influence on equality in society, like countries in africa, and places like that, will be more submissive and less dominant than american black women, but still the most masculine in appearance. Its a lot but I wanted to make it as clear as possible! If you got through reading all of this lol what do you think? do you agree or disagree and explain why?

  • I guess we will just see WHAT we WANT TO see...

    As for me, I think it has more to do with (i) economics and class (ii) the impact of feminist-type beliefs.

    White women, to me, tend to be be (because of higher education and higher earning capacity) rather dominant. This is something that has grown in the past two generations. Which is why White men have a hard time getting along with White women today!

    On the other hand, White men don't have a problem in getting along with Asian or African women, because they see them as somehow more submissive. (This, in large measure, has to do with economics, I feel. Some women would do anything to get a visa to enter an affluent economy, and are willing to compromise no end.

    On the other hand, a rich, dominant White woman can also find a good guy in the less affluent world, because she is offering him more than sex, relationship or a marriage! She's a visa to a better life! And I know guys who are willing to put up with such dominant characters simply because of the "perks" it brings in. It is a made-for-each-other match.

    Both women and men will tolerate just about anything if it also brings them economic benefits...

  • if blacks were more masculine they would dominate mma however they dont, so I don't agree. yes some talk a big game but its all rhetoric I don't care to hear

  • We are not masculine or dominant, that is a stereotype commonly used by weaker guys to justify disliking us. Most black women will have no problem submitting to a guy if he is a confident dominant alpha male, but if he's one of those beta males or pussies or has any type of bitch in him we won't respect him. Also this is not even all black women, but yeah generally we need a very masculine guy and we will naturally submit to him. If you are anything short then we wont. If we don't trust you or are unsure about you, we're not gonna submit but if you are The Man then he won't have anything to worry about. We are some of the most loyal women and will have a man's back till the end of time if we love him It sounds like he just couldn't measure up to be honest. Most black women are in relationships and dating black men so I don't know where this is coming from. It's funny how people talk about marriage rates but then fail to mention that 50% of all marriages end in divorce, so I guess all women have the same issues in the end.
