Society tends to judge us for the type of music we listen too or the way we dress. I don't know how you dress or what you listen too but if you fit that bill perhaps that's why men see you as just being into black men.

Of course by the company you keep also.

White men look but they never come forward... Until I signed up for online dating. I think many white men want to be 100% sure that you will not discriminate them based on their race/color before they approach you and online dating lets them know that. Online dating might not be "natural" to many people but it's becoming more and more normal nowadays.
Repped for the bolded. That's basically what I was saying.

A truly attractive women doesn't have problems meeting men of any race. Usually the ones who say they have "problems" meeting men are not that cute to begin with. Or they have baggae like too many damn kids.

I listen to motown and blues music and I dress on the conservative side. In terms of 'company' I haven't established any yet, I'm new.

I don't have any children, and I've only been in two relationships. In my case, it may be my lack of experience with men. I've spent much of my time completing my education. I'm a Ph.D trained epidemiologist.

I've been told that I'm cute, but I wouldn't be described as having super model looks. Also, I don't have the stereotypical 'black' features that many men like (i.e. voluptuous figure). I'm very petite, 5'3, 114 lbs.

I don't think you need to have supermodel looks to attract any type of guy, white guys included. A buddy of mine who's married to a white guy is petite and dark. I am tall, slim and a bit fair. White guys, like all other guys, have diverse tastes. They are not monolithic (love this word). I am sure you are fine, just the way you are.

I'm interested in different types of men, not just white guys; but thank you for the words of encouragement. I'm considering breast augmentation to gain a more voluptuous figure (but nothing too drastic, just a C cup).
