> [@pool](#): > > White guy here, I don’t really find black women attractive at all, though to be fair I think the majority of black women also don’t find white men attractive, so I think it goes both ways. That said I am attracted to women with a darker complexion, like Latina and Mediterranean women are usually my ideal and my wife is Hispanic, and has what I would call an olive complexion. Couldn’t disagree more. Black women (all women really) are looking for men who will love them and listen to them. So many men today just hit on everything till they get interest. Women see this and become jaded. Personal attention and sincerity is so important. The boo is black and even after months there are still the little traps she lays to make sure that I am real. The only problems we have had with race are from other black men who try to shame her or play the black nationalist card. Go for it and be real any anything is possible. ---

How anyone can say Black women are less attractive than White women is obviously blind. Some East African women are outstanding. ---

The people (most often black men) I read who lament the state of black women tend to emphasise that they’re only talking about US black women. I personally haven’t seen enough US black women, but those I did encounter in Atlanta were not very attractive. Fat, loud and aggresive, often with some weird clothes or nails etc. Didn’t seem femine at all.
