I would say a lot of white women like highly paid and goodlooking black men.

As stated by another poster, a lot of the available Black men are not necessarily what an educated and financially independent Black women is looking for. I cannot say that educated and financially stable Black men prefer White women; I just do not think that there are enough of these men to go around. What's crazy is that I do not think there are enough of these men to go around in any nationality....

This confuses me, as I haven't had a date since I was born and have not had any kind of relationship for a whole year now.

I know, some might think I have a harem of women to choose from, but the opposite is true.

It's hard out here for a pimp...let me stop...

Seriously, most of the post are telling the truth..Sad but true....

You need to be young, good looking, and with money to have a harem of women to choose from.

I'm 2 out of 3 for certain, but I would like to have even one woman to choose from who lives close(ITP).

Another often overlooked yet sad but true fact is this. I'm sure that many of you have heard of Dr Ian Smith from the Celebrity Fit Club tv show. We'll he's also behind the 50 million pound challenge which is pushing to spur Blacks as a race to lose weight to improve our health and decrease the rates of diseases associated with weight issues. Well Dr Smith also often appears on certain syndicated radio shows to give updates. I was listening last week and reported that statistics reveal that about 8 out of every 10 Black women are either overweight or obese. So while it might not be considered PC to bring that into the equation it's has to be factored in when you hear all of the talk about the slanted numbers of available Black women. That is how many of these women hold appeal for those men who happen to prefer women of a certain physical type not in line with those numbers.

I mean more power to the BBW's and all that. Sure go ahead and do you, but at the same time realize that a lot of men prefer a Beyonce body type to that of a Monique. Consider it shallow or whatever but the truth still remains that physical attraction almost always needs to be there before an emotional bond can form. You can be as educated as the President of Harvard and live in a 4,000 square foot home but if you look like you'd be challenged walking up a single flight of stairs then a lot of men aren't ever going to know or even care because of that initial visual impression. That's a little something from a male point of view.

Well whilst that is true and I like pretty women, they need an education to get past more than a couple of dates.

Yep, yep...so true.

I love my sisters but don't have your real hair one day and then 2 days later show up on a date with a full length HAIR WEAVE, especially in a different color. I can spot them from a mile away.
