I'd like to share an experience I personally had.
I was invited to dinner at Michelin starred restaurant here in Lyon. It was a great experience. There are no prices on the menu and the person who brought me wouldn't let me see the final bill. I playfully looked over at it.
There were only 2 black women there, myself and young Black couple, a pretty, young African woman and her gorgeous date. Every body else in the place, well... The women had on finery and they had their hair done and their make-up done. But they all seemed to fade into the walls and blur into the scenery. None of them "popped out" at me. Their bodies were somewhat doughy and ranged from rail thin, to out of shape.
The man I was with said, "Your the most beautiful woman here, tonight."
When we left, the chef came out and thanked us for coming, as he does for all the guests. He looked at both myself and my dinner date and stated that he hoped that the food was up to par, and to our liking. He trained directly under the world famous, Paul Bocuse. We were served by Geneviève Orsi , who is the MAÎTRE DE MAISON, and also by a bevy of other exquisitely trained wait staff.
The chef then looks at the gentleman I'm with and says, "You are a very lucky man."
The Chef, was Pierre Orsi himself.
Here's a link to the restaurant site.

My point: As Black women, with minimum effort you will look good. With concentrated effort, as it pertains to your physical beauty and comportment, you will be spectacular! Take care of your hair, skin, teeth and bodies and the average woman will disappear in your presence and you will complement any other beautiful woman there with your own beauty. Is this about competition? Not really. As Black women, you have tremendous advantages. Please recognize and use them. You can can excel on ANY and EVERY arena, including the Global and International Arena.
I had on a lace front as I am protective styling in 2017, a simple just above the knee-length, gray cardigan dress that was fitted to my body and some black boots that came to just below my knee. I did not dress for comfort, I dressed to be sexy and attractive.
I think spring fever is in the air. I've had two men ask to fly me out this week but I'm leery about those things so I played them to the side, I don't know you like that.
Might try to sell me into sex slavery and my Daddy is far from a Liam Neeson.
Fly out where? Get them airfare tickets, save up those air miles and have separate rooms! For real though, I don't blame you.
I don't blame you for being cautious.Just to where they are, which is another reason I'm like ehhh. You make a good point though, a girl can never have too many air miles! One seems harmless but the other one is a bit strange.
I don't blame you for being cautious.
Are these private jets?
Is this the first date meeting from an online dating site?
Your photos on instagram?Girl I wish they were private! But I would be even more suspicious if they were, the funny thing is they're both from instagram. I'm not on any dating sites so I'm not sure how they stumbled upon me.
Your photos on instagram?
I think it's time to reactivate my Instagram.
I have a single mother fb friend who married verrrryyyyy well from meeting a guy on instsgram.
ladies move to switzerland. jump on tinder. bae(ish) is from a family that rocks with bill gates. bae(ish) works for the family business. He's white, under 40 and cute.
officiallit's still early days but he's sweet somewhat secretive though (he doesn't know im a google warrior).
I know i have to have a more naija mentality with him to lock this down and not self-sabotage - think long term, big picture; don't be so quick to call him out, pretend to be less cynical. Allow him to believe he's truly sweeping me off my feet.
The men here are typically financially ok. Then there are ballers - bankers, traders etc then there are those who are wealthy... all these types of men can be found on tinder.
fingers crossed this one pans out. I'm tired of not being settled and this independent life- i just want to be a kept wife to a loving husband and cater to my family.
Im hearing alot about those places. Many of those men want us...Are they handsome?
I lurk this thread but...There's a mix of ugly and Prince charming fine ( think handsome/dashing). I looove manly cave men but unfortunately they aren't fitting the other criteria i'm looking for so i've had to adapt.
I've noticed there aren't alot of overweight guys here...at alllllllll. But also not many hardcore gym heads.
Bae(ish) is cute, goodlooking, 6ft 2, needs to hit the gym more but by summer his body will be banging (for when he takes me on the boat).
They love us here. Love not as in 'just have a good time' but love as in marry. I've seen more BW/rich WM here then BM/WW combos anywhere in my life.
I lurk this thread but...
I've found the same about European well to do men also but never dated Swiss before...
got me thinking...
The thing with Switzerland is that its made up of 3 regions: Swiss German, Swiss French and Swiss Italian - so you're bound to find a culture that tickles your fancy. my city, half the popn are ex pats that have come here to get paiiiiddd so you're bound to come across someone you like.
With Swiss, minimal family drama; the men are a little guarded; don't expect them to roll up to you in the clurb; even if you don't like a guy keep him as a friend and he'll likely introduce you to other people.

I loved Zurich. Wish I could have spent more time there. Looking to go back someday.Girl I just got back that place is mad expensive. Lock him in and invite me to the wedding
So like I said I just got back and he ain't rich but you couldn't tell by that week I just spent in Italy,Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia he has potential
I don't want an American one.I went to Geneva and I was shocked by the number of BW/WM pairings. I was also shocked by the number of hookers....chicks are getting paid. I think it's easier for us to bag a rich Euro than a rich American.
A friend of a friend met her future husband (they got married last weekend) on Instagram.... well off/good looking...etc etc.
Where's Barbiesocialite? she ok?
I don't want an American one.
I have more of a rapport with Europeans.
What did the couples look like?
What is Geneva like?
Compared to Zurich?
Like mold he can grow on you.Date number two to another Washington Wizards playoff game tonight (we went to last Thursday's game). This gent is moneyed but I'm not physically attracted to him. Halp!
Like mold he can grow on you.
LHCF RULE HANDBOOK states that in order to be a unicorn you must be with a man that likes you more than you like him.
