Blossssom said:Just a question: what are the ingredients for cross-over appeal?
Blossssom said:Um hmmm... VERY!
Especially if you're not loud, ignorant-acting and a hoochie momma!
Some black guys seem to FLOCK to that!
And then the professional, "sophisticated" black men aren't interested because you don't fit into a certain size box.
kristina said:I do now but I didn't when I was younger (I'm guessing that was in part because being with a black girl was soooo taboo for non blacks then-you never saw it recognized in the main stream). It's not just being attractive, it's having a look that just seems friendly and approachable (you know how some people just look nice and sweet?*evil grin*). I tend to smile a lot when meeting people. It might also have to do with the way I talk (I try and usually fail to suppress the valleyness). I'm sure it makes people assume that I'd be the type to go for other races.

I get hit on by Black men, Hispanic ( Puerto Rican, Domican, Mexican you name it), Pakastinian (sp?) men, recently Asian men. But get this, the other day I was at the ATM and I heard "Pssss, Pssss" towards me. First I ignore it and then I hear it a bit louder. I turn around and see a Hasidic Jew looking at me. He says " Whut up, can we talk or go out?" I'm trying to get over my shock and not laugh ,when I tell him that I'm not available. He then gives me his number in case I change my mind. I'm still cracking up because I thought I never see the day especially with the Crown Heights riots that happened not too long ago. And I don't fit the so- call standard beauty at all; darkskinned, nappy hair, ethnic nose ( not Bobo the clown, though) big booty...maybe that was it, LOL!
Bmm said:If there is a such thing as crossover appeal, then I have it. I am married to a BLACK BROTHA but all men check me out,a nd come on to me...I perfer chocolate though...um um um
MzTami said:Ditto. I don't know if I have crossover appeal..because I have always focused on the BROTHAS only.
mahogany said:Thats the same for me too! I believe I would have more cross over appeal if i would smile more, but sometimes I really don't want to be bother by any men.
I'm not the type of person who feels something is wrong with me if men are not starting at me when I enter a room, I could care less.
chocolat79 said:Unfortunately, I don't I do. I hardly get approached by anyone, black or otherwise. Oh well, I've heard that I look unapproachable. Don't know why!
nikki1971 said:I have this same problem glad to see I am not alone.
FeelinIt said:I've heard the same thing. I try to smile but my look comes across as don't bother me.
That's why I'm alone.....
