PME_LADY said:That is rather unfortunate. I think the truth of the matter is that many white men are just afraid too admit their attraction to black women because it is socially unacceptable because in Europe, it is very different. Oddly enough my experience in Europe, Spain, Portugal and Italy, was that they looked down on Asians and in Spain they did not like Hispanics, which is another thread. But ultimately the truth is that there is no one rule that is universal within any group.
New York and Europe have been the best so far(for general male attention/approach) IMO too. I'm naturally shy and if a guy didn't make him himself known, he was out of luck.Omoge said:I have to agree that its a cultural thing.
I live in Atlanta, and I have never been approached by a white guy. However, I have observed white guys checking out black females in the malls, clubs, on campus but not approaching. Its like they are afraid or something.
In New York, my friends and I got approached by Italian and Hispanic guys.
However, when I travel to the UK to visit family, I am always shocked at the variety of guys that approach us.
On our last trip to London, in a space of two weeks just going out and about shopping and sightseeing, several eastern European and Italian guys, an Indian guy,a Middle eastern guy and a few Brits asked my sister and I out on a dates and each time we were approached we would both be dumbfounded for a minute.
We just don't see it like that in Atlanta.

wtf?! Oh no he didn't... well, he sounds like a *total* moron...Blossssom said:I met a cute white guy recently.
He dated a half black/white woman once but wasn't sure if he could date one full-blown.
I hope he doesn't call me again. He sort of upset me last night.
Blossssom said:I think a lot of white guys, here in Cali anyway, are too afraid of what other white people will think of it.
I did date a white guy in my early 20s and he admitted that he felt white people stared when we went out and that it made him uncomfortable. We eventually broke it off.
And then there was the white guy at my last office. I dated him for quite some time and he was okay with it, but black men were not okay with it and he constantly threatened.
He was the last white guy I went out with. This guy last night is really cute but it doesn't sound like he's interested than anything more than a drink a quick screw when no one is looking.
Also, he automatically assumed that I only dated white guys. I asked him why would he assume that and he couldn't give me a straight answer.

...To bad rubbish.Blossssom said:Kay, do you know that nut called here last night at midnight and left a message talking about, "After our conversation the night before, I don't think we're a good match and I won't be calling you again. Good luck finding your significant other." Ha!
Good riddance.
Blossssom said:I agree, Kay... men who date based on race, or who bring up race, always make me leery... "Again, why are you dating me?" or whatever.
bravenewgirl87 said:Its happen to me not too long ago with a white guy. I have always been told that they were controlling and domineering. I used to think my elders were nuts... until one told me he was exactly that way and proud. Looking back, i am afraid they might all be like that...
And all you have to do is call the shots with them...let them be the quick screw

I've lived all over, from the north to the south. Ive never been hit on by men of other races, ever. I only receive attention from the brothas.... which works out just fine for me.
rozlips said:I've been told by white men that they don't approach lighter skinned black women because they are generally rejected more by them. Apparently lc black women tend to be more 'militant.' I think if you look at our history many of the 'ride or die' sisters have been of a paler hue. Presumably they're trying to prove their blackness and being with a white man isn't part of that. I also think that lc black women have more success with black men, so they're not as available to white men as their dc counterpart.
