I personally am not saying I hate wide noses, although I admit they're not my ideal, but just saying they are considered unattractive for a woman in the conventional standard of beauty.
I am aware both African American and other African women, from East and North Africa, have more 'Caucasian' noses. The body type in Ethiopia or Kenya or Tanzania is way different to the type in Senegal. Much slimmer. In the case of American blacks, those with sharper noses tend to have more white genes, like Pam Grier or something (even though Pam was fairly dark). Pure Nigerians almost always have the broad nose.
I think round is a better description and it's not just black Africans but East and southeast Asians also have this feature. Tho as some one pointed out some black African groups have pointer noses too tho it's less common. I'm a artist and have drawn enough portraits.
I'm open to date anyone of any background have done so, but I admit I have a bias for black women because I'm a black male. I don't believe there should be a conventional standard of beauty especial considering we live in a diverse World. Often that can be the larger or dominate ethnic group pushing there features as a standard over other groups, and this may not even be on purpose. And I'm not even a Marxist but I'm just saying that's really what's going on. Parents just need to teach there kids not to fall for the okey doke.

I am African American and I have a broad nose. There are plenty of African Americans who have round noses, not all of us look mixed.
but thank you for telling me that I am ugly in a conventional sense. I appreciate that
I don't understand what Nyanna is waiting on. The perfect black guy who adores "black featured" women? The beauty standard changing to fit her looks? For her to go to sleep and wake up looking like Halle Berry? For white people to discover what they've been missing? What's going on here?

I am sick and tired of people talking about how Ethiopian and Somalian women are more beautiful than West African women just because they have thin noses and soft hair. I am tired of being made to feel ugly all the time because I don't look mixed

I don't really know how you can solve the problem of feeling ugly all the time because "people" are praising women who don't look like you. Who are these people? Do their opinions effect your self-esteem when you go out and try to get dates and stuff? Are you getting interest from the kind of guys you want or do you think your kind of looks are preventing you from your ideal guy. I'm not trying to get personal but I'm just trying to understand.

Yes, their opinions greatly affect my self esteem. Most guys want women who are as close to the ideal as possible. and yes I do feel my looks are preventing me from being happy and meeting someone who wants a relationship with me

Ohhh trust me....we've ALL tried and tried and tried....
Your logic and reasoning will only be met with irrationality
Sorry to intrude. I was breezing past and noticed this thread pop up. We had a young lady stay with us as a nanny some years back who was from Sierra Leone (west Africa I think). She was the blackest person I ever saw and also one of the most beautiful. Perfect skin, absolutely jet black which probably hides any blemishes or imperfections that we all have. She always seemed to turn heads when we all went out to dinner together. If she was not so shy, she would have not been able to be a nanny becuase she woudl have always been out on dates. I think she ended up marrying one of her college professors.
