im sure ill get flamed for this i but i bet it has to do when the males were bred as slaves here.

I am a white woman and I like the dark skin in men and women but I don't know the reason .People look sexy in brown or black skin. Egyptain People like white women and white and black men . Everytime I am browning my skin in the sun, Egyptain men don't like me. but I don't care.

Regarding blacks specifically, whiter black males are dismissed as not being black enough and dark, dark women whose features are too Negroid are not viewed as attractive enough, and both of these camps are pi$$ed about it, as this is the topic of many talk shows I've seen while in college and grad school.

You and mr bolo may be onto something there.

I am Nordic White yet am both tall and my facial fatures are so masculine they border in sinister. That stated; despite my not being a big fan of blonde women, they tend to like me whereas brunette White woman and most 'brown' females (pick your ethnicity) do not find me attractive-------although, I have more than my share of Black ladies try for me over the years.

That is awesome. I think I'll use that term to describe myself.

Maybe because black women don't take care of themsleves, and black guys were told if they did, that indiscriminate white women would want them.

The overweight black women are probably ones with a lot of children and eating junk food like fried chicken, drinking soda and being on welfare and being couch potatoes and not working...


but seriously, women who have had a lot of children tend to be overweight unless they are actively exercising after their pregnancies.

Is that what they teach at your church and in your bible?

Gotta love threads pack full of demeaning stereotypes all the way around. I can only speak for myself but most of the dark, dark skin black women I've seen were rather beautiful. Maybe I just have a thing for the exotic

Has nothing at all to do with stereotypes. Its more to do with wondering why black males always seem to be in great shape with low body fat and why black females for the most part seem to be overweight. It cant be a gene thing because often times we are talking about brother and sister - one being fit (male) and other being fat (female).
