Racy JC: Old Men Dig Black Chics!

Racy JC: Old Men Dig Black Chics!

This might explain why so many older white dudes hit on you.

By JC Davies, author of “I Got the Fever: Love, What’s Race Got to Do With It?”

I was reading an article the other day and it really surprised me—and because you know I’m Racy JC, I do not get surprised easily. I thought it was something you guys might find worth a look. SpeedDate.com (okay seriously. We have gotten so lazy we can’t even make the time to get off the couch and go on a three-minute speed date?) decided to do a little analysis concerning their clients and the world of race and dating. And this is where the surprising part comes in. They found that as they got older, men were much more likely than women to date outside of their race. By age 60, in fact, 70% of women dated exclusively within their own ethnicity versus only 38% of men. This leads me to only one conclusion—old men dig black chicks. Okay, I kid. I am a kidder. But unlike most of the stupid anecdotal information that comes from a lot of dating site analyses, I thought this was really interesting. SpeedDate.com says it’s the “exotic factor” and that men appreciate a different “point of view.” You had me at exotic, but I don’t think it is the woman’s “point of view” that these guys are into.

I think men find sex with women of different races exciting. Why not? It is. But what I don’t understand is what makes women turn inward as they get older. Women usually seem to be the beacons of tolerance and understanding, but when they get old, SpeedDate.com surmises it’s all about “comfort in what they know.” I thought we never stopped learning. And what does that mean for me? All I have ever dated, aside from the dark I-talian boyfriend in high school, is men of different races. So if I take “comfort in what I know,” I don’t think that means I will be rushing back to rednecks from my California hometown. I think that means I will keep doing what I am doin’. And I think that going forward, women will be more like me than like the older women described in this survey. The SpeedDate.com CEO said that “what is encouraging is that our findings revealed that across the board, the younger generations were much more open to diversity and dating outside of their circle.” So, like me, they should be comfortable with a much wider range of people and races. But I can’t close without saying: Good job old dudes!

The attraction has always been there, it's just they way of our past society.  Times are different now, it is more acceptable.  How could one not love the natural beauty of black women?  For all those white males who venture to meet black women past, present and future, "Keep on Truckin!"   Is that showing my age?

I think older white men who hit on Black women have always been attracted to black women but because of the times they grew up in it was considered taboo, and would get ostracized, and would of had to deal with huge disapproval rants from their parents, siblings and friends. Now that they're older, their parents are more than likely dead, don't care about what people think, and now they feel now they can embrace their love for women of color. I notice on dating websites, I get hit on ALOT by older white men.

@ Havana Club in Atl, there is a plethora of white suga daddies trying to get with some youngins of color... all colors. It's kind of creepy, yet flattering. I'm pretty sure there are plenty more in less obvious places, such as the Irish Pub my friends and I frequent. Raised in the deep south, I was kind of bred on the thought that most older White people are racist, which I know not to be true, yet is always my first thought when an older white man is staring at me... but my recent experiences have definitely proved otherwise... it could be the giant afro i've been rocking the last year, drawing attention from all male audiences

I think older white men may have always been attracted to women of other races. But due to the time period in which they grew up in it was considered very taboo. But now most of those men have grown into their own, they're at the point in their life where they don't care what people think about whom they choose to love. Which is very brave of them.

Personally I Do get hit on with older men. especially at public places. I was hit on this older man who is older enough to be my father. thats way before I met my  current boyfriend.

LOL! I think  Evia mentioned something about this in another post, that wm who are older and wealthier tend to have the confidence to seek out a woman that they want without feeling embarrassed or needing to explain anything to anyone.

 

Younger men are more likely to care about their friends/family etc approving of  their choice of mate.

Older Hispanic and white men hit on me all the time. I actually find it kind of creepy and gross since they tend to be old enough to be my grandfather....well at least when I was in my late teens and early 20s.

Hmmm, the only older men I am attracted to are John Slattery and John Varvatos. Otherwise, it's kind of a no go for me...

VintageNarcissa 3151 pts

Sorry to say it this way but I think most of our resident men here at BBW would agree that after years of dealing with ww's nonsense, they are definitely more willing to try eh hem, something new :P

I'm wondering if its just WM or men in general.  Lately, I've gotten a lot of interest from older Korean men here in S. Korea. I mean like dentists and doctors.  Maybe its just as men get older and are more secure in general they go for what they want.  However, while this is true the older men that are showing interest in me are also married so..... I'm not sure if they are just being perverts.

I also think that's it.

I get hit on all the time by older WM, especially in my line of work. The way that they openly flirt with me is unreal. I hear things like "if only I was 20 years younger we would be having a different conversation"! They also find it hard to believe that I'm not married or seriously dating anyone. Another line that I hear on a weekly basis is "your skin, it's flawless,oh my God you are so beautiful"! Even if their wife and kids are around they don't care! Quite flattering indeed!

asiancode9 143 pts

 Karla00 This happened to me a lot too when I was a bank teller.  Older WM would come up to me and we would start talking.  They would always notice I didn't have a ring and be in total shock.  They always said "if I was 20 plus years younger I would snatch you up."   Some even go on to say how foolish young men are these days for taking a chance with good woman when they see one.  I don't even know what to say to them after that.

Some old WM can be stuck in their ways and some old WM are hip and fun.  Vet, vet, vet!!

Personal observation tells me that JC is right.  Older men have generally made it in life and are past the point of being concerned about what anyone thinks of them.  I seea lot of wm/bw couples in Vegas out and about.  It isn't limited to older men, though.  There are so many people from other countries here that race is a pretty blurry thing.

Yea, I knew  this already but this isn't very helpful for us young bw (20s) who want to date nonbm in our age group. lol

 You are in the best age group.

For older women the landscape is thus:

 

 

Most of their cohort are already married

 

Women out live men so there are more older women intrested than men available.

 

Older men can and do attract younger women.

 

 

 

 That said I think the 64,000 pound gorilla in the room is sex and the difference in sex drive between men and women.

 

A lot of older women just are not as interested in sex as older men are. Some of it has to do with menopause some of it has to do with having been in long term relationships with men that were to varying degrees satisfying.....or not.

 

Some older women just could not be bothered and did not want another man in their lives after their spouse died. A lot like the freedom of being widowed.  I wish I had a dime for every time I heard a woman tell me that being married once was enough.  Now that the kids were grown and while they did miss their spouse this time was their time and they would beat you if you tried to push a man on them.

 

Further some older women do not find older men at  all attractive. I heard that a lot when I worked with older women. Some older men let themselves go  grooming wise, have health issues and prior to the availability of the

ED treatments that we have today sex with them was awful.

 

Older women who are interested in sex can still preform as well (if not better) than a younger women.  Men because of the way they are designed have multiple physical issues that make preforming the act difficult as they age.

I'm going speed dating tonight. Glad you mentioned that. The ages are 24-36. I'm 32 so I think this is a good range. I would like the 30-40 age range more. But that one isn't until June.

BTW, if any of you ladies on here want to try speed dating, I have a hook up. www.Predating.com offers speed dating and other events. Use code: RashedaFive for $5 off an event. They also offer awesome free teleseminars about relationships and attracting mates.

Oh yes, I can confirm old men (white men, in my case) dig black chicks!   

Lili2009 1826 pts

 Men just care less about what family thinks as they get older, right? Don't men remarry at higher rates, too?  I don't know. I just think that if a guy is divorced or if he's an older guy without parents to please, he's more inclined to swirl than an aging woman who is probably already having a hard time finding a man (because those older men are looking for younger women) so maybe between a smaller dating pool and self-protection, aging women might feel they'll have more success within the comfort of their own culture? Just throwing some ideas out there! I think we need another study!

R. Kamaria 854 pts

 Lili2009 Absolutely agree. I find this the case. They're less concerned about what others think of their choices and are more confident than most 25-35 year old men.

As an official "old dude" I can say what I've been saying on BWE boards for three or four years now---many white guys have always liked BW, but now we can say it out loud.  If we could only have said it all those years ago.  Our culture is very hard on guys who "break the rules."  As I said in my review of Chris's book on Amazon, "The time has come"------finally!

Veron 1400 pts

 FriendsofJay This is how I interpreted the results. Not that older men were getting more experimental, or were digging the "exotic" factor, but that they had matured to the point where they could say "eff it, I like what I like, and at my age I ought be secure enough not to give a damn what anyone else thinks."

mahogany 480 pts

Yeah, I didn't believe that exotic stuff either. I agree with you.

 Nice review!

ann4950 732 pts

I agree,  mature women dating irr is probably more of a comfort issue. However, I am sure there are many mature women who wished they would not have allowed certain circumstances to stand in their way of swirling with some terrific other culture man.  Even as we age, many of us women still have to support our families sometimes emotionally and or financially.  These ladies probably wish to lessen their personal issues, scarficing as usual.  And as usual most of the men are looking out for themselves.
