She's no supermodel, but she's not supposed to be. She's a regular woman who looks just as good as all the other regular women who get married every day. The putdowns are really unnecessary, but expected.
I agree. But to me she isn't attractive. She isn't ugly, but she just isn't a woman I find beautiful. And my stating my opinion about not thinking she was attractive means I put her down?
It doesn't matter. The odds of exclusively seeking black men for long term relationships and marriage are no better.
Actually, truth be told, in the U.S., a black woman has a better chance of finding an educated, family oriented, employed white man, than an equally educated, family oriented, employed black man for a relationship/marriage...

Does the average U.S. white male have a better chance of finding an educated, family oriented, employed black woman than an equally educated, family oriented, employed white woman for relationship/marriage?
What about an Asian woman? Does an educated, family oriented, employed white male have a better chance of finding an equally educated, family oriented, employed Asian female or a black female with similar attributes?
The answer to the above questions, may answer some of the other questions here.
I always laugh when Caribbean people comment negatively about 'African Americans,' because more often than not, many Caribbean immigrants are impoverished. When they immigrate to the U.S., most tend to reside in low income communities w/ other disproportionately poor black people. Since most do not have access to middle/upper income black American neighborhoods, many mistakenly believe that the majority of black Americans are ignorant & low income.
Please take a little time to study the history of the black American elite in the U.S.
Also, realize that Caribbean & African people can not really talk about black Americans, because much of Africa and the Caribbean are unfortunately in squalor. People in glass houses, really shouldn't attempt to throw any stones.
Sorry I assumed you were both black/white mixes. Yup that is more different than similar. Especially is she is "hispanic" = "Mexican" vs from the Caribbean.
(I also consider Dominican or Puerto Rican or Haitian and African-American to be interracial couples as well)

Well, yes, there are ample numbers of educated, family oriented black women in the U.S, especially in major metropolitan areas with thriving economies. In places like New York City & Washington DC, it's not unusual to meet a sizable number of highly educated black women with ivy league/elite credentials.

This is true, but only because there are significantly more white men than black men in this country, thus by default (number-wise) there would be MORE white men that are employed, with college educations and family values than there are black men with same said attributes. However in terms of having a "better" chance of snagging a white man with these attributes--well I think that's subjective. I know black women that find it easier to find black men with attributes like these and find that in the areas they live in it's harder to date WM(I just read a thread about this from a black woman that lives in Chicago). On the other hand there are black women in other states that sing a different tune--they come across more white men with these attributes than black men. It just depends. However just looking at statistics and numbers, black women are more likely to get married to black men, than they are white men or any other nonblack men, and white men are more likely to get married to white women than any other race. So on some level black women, who are married, typically are married to black men, which means that even if it's true that a black woman has a better chance of finding white men with these qualities they still tend to marry black men on a larger scale.
I personally never had an issue finding black men with the above attributes... I don't know... I know that on Citydata it's often discussed that a lot of black women can't find black men with these attributes-where as these same women have admitted to meeting and dating plenty of white men with these attributes so based on this I'm assuming that there is a growing portion of black women that DO have a better chance at meeting white men that will marry them more so than black men. It's sad to me, only because I find black men super attractive, and would feel sad if I were a single woman that wasn't attracted to white men(for instance) but yet could not meet a black man that had himself together.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you mention that you're biracial? Perhaps this explains why you are so enthralled w/ black men and vice versa. Many biracial women are very much sought after for marriage/relationships by upper income black men.
