I'm talking about cultural conditioning. Something you're not always aware of when it's happening.

Remember JonBenet Ramsey, the very young girl who was a "beauty queen" before she was murdered? Think about the success of all those beauty pageants for little girls where they are dressed up like grown up women in sexy outfits? Cosmetic companies used to hire little girls as young as 6 to photograph for ads in magazines....they would make up their faces, use a slightly blurred image, and there you have it. It seems that these "innocent" faces (the younger the better) sold a lot of cosmetics. Now, why would grown up white women want to look as innocent as a 6 year old??? Somewhere people got this idea that "young, innocent, child-like" appearances appealed to a lot of men. When you compare that type of image to a strong, athletic, muscular black woman, well, it's not so hard to see the problem.

Personally, I like women with hips wider than shoulders.
Venus is much more attractive than Serena.
Strike a nerve there, did I, buddy. There was just no way you could have responded without a nasty personal attack, huh? And, no, my eyes are not brown, they are green/blue.

Uh; kids don't do it for me either. I few months back I saw a "12 year old girl" and rolled my eyes cause she was by herself in a tire store. The joke was on me: this "girl" was actually about 22 or so but looked like a bigger JonBenet. She asked me a question so we talked a bit.

(le sigh)

Why are Black women (and Black people in general) always fodder for discussion? Seriously, why?

But to honestly answer the OP's original question specifically, I believe that there is a "fascination" that is sexually tinged in many cases. Discussions of Serena Williams' physique always reminds me of the same type of "fascination" that was thrust upon Sarah Baartman (aka the Hottentot Venus).


Who Is Sara Baartman? Every black woman should know her name - YouTube

So what is it about white men and the musculature of black women?
I think you've stumbled onto a very volatile subject here. The "white male system" (value system) preference for white women who are small and child-like in their appearance gets dangerously close to looking into the subconscious at things people work very hard to bury.

However, big companies with lots of money to spend on advertising have figured out what appeals to so many. Women know what men consider attractive and usually try very hard to achieve that kind of "beauty." Therefore the use of girl children and teenagers as models. Kinda goes to the "Lolita" thing.

I have found it endlessly fascinating to watch the reactions of many to Michelle Obama. Her appearance seems to be enormously threatening to lots of people....yet, I would contend if you made her a white woman, many would call her very attractive....she's tall, can wear amazing clothes, beautiful face, smart, educated, a loving mother, "everything" you'd want to be.

LOL!

They're built like men! That's the issue.

Yeah me too. I had a poster of Serena Williams on the inside of my locker door at work from her famous SI photos. I was advised to take it down or run afoul of corporate PC liberal policies, so I did. Thanks trial lawyers, thanks Democrats, thanks liberals. Thanks OP.
