Dismantling Preconceived Notions One Interview at a Time!

Dismantling Preconceived Notions One Interview at a Time!

There’s a lot of deliberate misinformation about the level of interest non-black men have with black women. So I’m putting my cape on and my tight black suit so I can dismantle that bull donkey one interview at a time.

Hey ladies, meet Ryan Sandberg (doesn’t have just the most delicious mouth??). I met him at Blog World, and he’s moving to San Diego, the home base for his company in which he’s the boss of some thingamajig: “I direct a team of dudes that must obey all my demands…basically direct blogger/vendor relations in simple terms.,” he told me. At 24, that’s pretty awesome, no?

Ahem, ladies I want you to all check out Chris's dress in the photo that heads this thread. Is that a hunk magnet outfit or what? The Tina Turner gams don't hurt either. @ Chris work it. Show the ladies how to handle theirs. (BTW Hubby said your a "stone fox".)

Well where i live its really hard to tell if non bm like bw down here b/c i can count on one hand how many wm/bw relationship i have seen. I like country men with a strong southern accent but where i live its hard to tell with wm b/c even though the south is slowly but surely getting out of their old mind set you just never know with these southern men if they like to date outside of their race.

eugeniamitchell 3482 pts

mskallyj this is done on a one on one basis, all you need is one man that is interested in you and that you are interested in. Not everyone wants to date IRR but many men just like women, period. You have to be open and if they're open, they'll let you know. But don't give up b/c not everyone is interested, not everyone is supposed to be.

eugeniamitchellmskallyj So true Eugenia! I'm a Southern girl and found plenty of wm interested in dating bw. Men like women. And if a wm sees a bw he's attracted to, he'll pursue. Even if he's never dated a bw before (as was the case with my husband). And yes, most wm have a more subtle approach. And those country boys were raised by their Momma's to be respectful to women!

Gurl, I know one in Texas who fits that description! Whereabouts in the South are you? mskallyj

I'm so on the same page mskallyj. Here in Texas, and I find it difficult to read the non bm cues. In my experience, southern non bm (primarily wm and hm) tend to be far more polite and considerate than the bm I encounter. If a bm randomly strikes up a conversation in the line at the grocery store or waits for me to walk 50 yards across a parking lot to hold the door open for me (and he's not 50 or older) I pretty much know he's interested. But with southern wm and hm this seems to be a reflection of their upbringing and not necessarily their interest in me.

If people just do their research they will know the truth: men--of all races, colors, and creeds--are far more open to dating outside of their ethnicity than women are; every study that I have ever read comes to this same conclusion. It's normally the woman that have a preference in terms of what ethnicity man they want to marry.

Virtually men, even if they have a preference for same ethnicity dating, have come across women of other ethnic groups that they found attractive; while a guy may not be all "I love black girls!" or "I like Asian chicks", he very well may meet and INDIVIDUAL black or Asian woman that he finds attractive and wants to pursue a relationship with.

As there is greater movement of people across the world these barriers are coming down. People are far more accepting and open to interracial relationships than they were even 10 years ago in America. I see this trend continuing.

(P.S. When was the last time any of you met a black person who had not only been married but divorced already at 24? Was the guy in the video from the military, Chris? They tend to marry young.)

I didn't ask, but he's from the Mid West, so... Jamila

Jamila 2819 pts

Yep, he's probably military. Those guys tend to marry YOUNG. Christelyn

JamilaChristelyn I thought the same ... one of my former Marines is married with two children at 22 years old! She and hubby are from Texas and he is about 24!

Jamila the weird thing is they are everywhere now I live in Seattle but I've spoken and seen men from all over the U.S. speaking of their interest in bw in places like Wyoming and North Dakota, places I don't think bw even think to look. Yea it's great on west coast, east coast and parts of the south but this is a big country and an even bigger world we need to keep an eye out everywhere.

eugeniamitchell 3482 pts

I'd give him a pass at the divorce, he was young. That can happen to many a young person. But he's cute. I'm glad you're getting out some information to stop all the misinformation. Because for the women that don't realize it non-bm are very interested in bw. It is not a myth or just some, it is alot, I think some bw would be surprised how many. Go forth, beautiful bw.
