On the Contrary. It's evolutionary but lately when I think of an American standard of beauty(Not mine) for a woman I'm thinking its Exotic eyes, Full lips, Full hips and breasts, light to carmel skin and long dark hair. It would be the Kim Kardasean, Angelie Jole, Eva Longore type of woman. This is a compilation of of women of the world.

Maybe he's applying his taste to others, as many people do? He does gravitate to thin women with long dark hair while I prefer women with curves and hair is down there on the list.

I don't know all of the names for black womens hair styles, but I saw this younger black lady, really pretty, she had an afro sorta thing, IDK, I liked it, people should work whatever they have.

I don't get why Asian women are doing the eyelid surgery thing, I think they look fine with their natural eyes.

It's part of them.

We should accept ourselves more.....
Not to long ago before the summer ended, I was taking a walk in Manhattan, I came across this nice gorgeous looking African American, she was really cute and highly attractive, she had that afro centric hair style thing going on, from her hairstyle alone I knew she had confidence and comfortable about the way she carries herself, thats an attitude that no guy should not pass up on. I went to go talk to her and her white beardo boyfriend jumps out of the bushes and my chances of getting her number was snubed. I have noticed over the years that these type of black women with the afro centric look are mostly with white men, its not a race thing its more of a class thing actually since both groups are mostly likely educated and earn a high paying salary.

This is generally true, their was this lady I used to know she asked a guy do you have all your teeth and is your teeth white, sadly she had poor dental health with missing teeth in the back and all teeth are yellow due to smoking. Same goes for a buddy I know he is balding, but he prefers women with long hair way past her shoulders.

I see NO REASON why "African" traits "have to be favored", or even "Caucasian" traits have to be favored for that matter, or why it's "such a shame" that certain things aren't favored. We should accept ALL or accept whatever we want. If the tables were turned and all of a sudden short men, dark skinned women, fat women/men and all of the other non-mainstream groups were "favored" and showcased all over the media, the "favored" groups still wouldn't think much of the unfavored.

This is why I personally don't feel sorry for the "woe is me, they don't favor ____________" (insert less or non-favorable traits) because EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING THEY DON'T LIKE AND WILL USE REASONS WHY ITS OKAY TO NOT FAVOR IT. Furthermore, even if someone was to magically be part of the favored/mainstream group, those same people will still find something to find "less attractive".

Race is no bigger than all of the other traits, because like many others, those TRAITS are HARDWIRED and CAN'T BE CHANGED. You're stuck with them. The only reason why it gets so much attention is because of the history of race in this country, but dating and social injustice are two different topics.

A black guy who likes black women is going to like black women. A black guy who likes other women, well, he's going to like whatever he likes.

This sentence makes no sense. But the texture of a black woman's hair has nothing to do with her intelligence or income level. that BS is no different than those who presume that certain skin tones or races are superior, smarter or more friendlier than others..it's all lies.
