“Swirling” Isn’t Just for the Ladies: Guys are Loving It Too!

Rainbeaus trying to learn our secrets…

When Janice and I started writing SWIRLING, we basically had black women in mind, and the relationship dynamics interracial and intercultural relationships. I was expecting a lot of women to buy it, but what I was pleasantly surprised about was the amount of menz, who are reading and enjoying the book. Many of the rainbeaus tell me reading SWIRLING is like being let in on a secret, and many of them go with a new-found understand about what the black women they seek relationships with often go through. Here’s one review from former “Hottie of the Week,” Joe Wheeler:

Had dinner with my buddy, Jordan Harbinger, co-founder of The Art of Charm, and he’s also read the book from front to back.

Check out that wink!

I love that I’m getting so much support for the book with women, and men stepping up is swirling icing on the cake.

Put me aside, it’s important to understand that when multicultural and interracial relationship books, the genre grows because the Powers that Be soon take notice as it concerns their bottom line. If they can see that they can sell it, they’ll keep doing it in a hundred different angles, which gives so many more opportunities for people who want to tell their stories. I can’t tell you how many folks I’ve spoken to offline who want to do similar projects focusing on multiracial and interethnic relationships, and if the big publishing big wigs can see the green, they miraculously see “the light.”

It is wonderful to hear that so many men are reading this.   This is opening up more doors for men who are to afraid and now have the support to come and talk to that woman of color they have been eyeing.

I don't mean to be cheeky, but I love that Joe's dog also had a look in... cute.

 

I'm not at all surprised that men would be interested in this book, as well... as if they're interested in bw, then a good boy scout wants to be prepared...

I guess I'm the old man on this blog----with the longest memory-------and I remember, with some pain, when IR dating and marriage was something you just didn't talk about. let alone do.  If you did do it you got looks or stares and hushed whispers from the mouths of nearby people.  You'd see a WM talking to a BW or vice versa and it was obvious they liked each other but both were frightened to take it any further.  Those few of us who did were in for comments, nasty jokes, snide remarks, rude gestures and even lectures from our "older and wiser" relatives, teachers and "friends of the family."  Today things are much different.  Prejudice is still with us, but its more subtle now.  Guys of all colors like girls of all colors, but many are still afraid of taking it farther.  That's why a book like Christelyn's SWIRLING is so important and fills a very real need for all concerned-------and that's why its so popular on Amazon and other sites.
