All your statement really says is that black men are willing to date women that are not petite or slender, that they don't mind dating a woman of thicker build.

I am sure my Husband would disagree with this he would not have married me if I was a fat brainless lump !!! lol also I didnt marry him because he was the first black man that asked me. Married him because he was him nothing to do with his skin colour.

Maybe some black men are more attracted to white women than black women.

Does anybody know why this is happening? I have a co-worker who told me to hook her up with a black dude. I did now thats all she talks about everyday at work all day long. How great he is & how much fun she is having since they started dating. She told me she even has gotten her girlfriends to date black men and they like it to.

Unfortunately, the media has done a good job of portraying black men in a negative light, ignoring the fact that black men face enormous adversity every day of their lives in this country. Adversity though not only builds character it reveals, as Morgan Freeman once said. Amidst all of these ignorant, loud-mouth, shuckin and jiving, low class black men are some extraordinarily intelligent, highly-educated, witty, interesting, versatile, handsome, charismatic, athletic, compassionate, sophisticated, artistic, deep, exciting men who happen to be black. I suspect that these men are who these women are attracted to, and in this country there are plenty of them.

I wouldn't trust those percentages at all. I'm a white female and while I find some black men good looking, I wouldn't date or marry one. I don't know anyone who would.....and I don't mean that in a racist way either.

Maybe if you moved to New England or Northern CA, you might change your mind. Never say never.

He wasn't generalizing. He was simply urging her not to be so quick to discount the possibility of meeting an attractive, dateable man who happened to be black. And he did so by pointing out the fact that, in some areas outside the poster's immediate realm of existence and socialization, white women (much like herself perhaps), who probably hitherto never even considered a relationship with a black man beyond the purely casual and incidental, now find themselves inclined to date these attractive, eligible guys who happen to be black.
I wonder whether you would be so vehement about refuting the same "generalizations" if they happened to be made about white men's attractiveness to women. Methinks not.
