Would you feel attracted to black women?

Interesting thread that I saw on another forum and I wasn't surprised by the response there. Curious to see the response here.

That question asked, do you find yourself as attracted or more or less attracted to black women?

I'd be attracted to a black woman for the same reasons I'd be attracted to a white woman or an oriental. As it is, I'm quite happily married but I still notice female beauty and attractiveness in all its forms.

I've seen plenty of smoking-hot black women around town, so if I weren't married, yes.

In my experience, a lot of prejudiced people try to describe their prejudice as "preference". I guess word choices make all the difference.

First girl I ever kissed was a black girl. One of the first girls I ever had sex with was black. I had no problems getting a boner.

Yes, I'm attracted to black women just as much as to white or Asian women.

Why should skin color even matter?

I feel like a me-tooer with this)

I don't know. Hair is REALLY important for me as far as physical features go. So generally-speaking, I don't find black people as attractive as people of other ethnicities. There are always exceptions, of course. Some styles take advantage of the unique texture and are actually quite beautiful. It's just that frizzy fros and outright baldness are a major turnoff. And those seem to be really common.

This speaks nothing to the personality of the individual in question, obviously.

I don't understand the question. 'Would I be attracted to a black woman...'? If.. what? If she was from Mars? For science? I don't get it.

The 'more or less' thing is also bizarre. I'm less attracted to ugly black women than hot asian women, and I'm more attracted to hot black women than ugly white women. Whether a woman is white or black or whatever is an irrelevant as if they enjoy coffee or tea: if they're hot, they're hot, and I'm met enough gorgeous east African women lately that I can't see how anyone could be confused about this.

How many black girls have you met in Vinton, Iowa?

Good to hear. A lot of what I heard on the other forum was that they "preferred" white girls over to black girls talking about how ugly they are as if it is a fact (stating it as a fact) talking about "ugly" features as their big lips, ugly noses, big unattractive butts, etc.

My response to it :

Preference to one race or the other race is racism pure and simple. Justify as much as you want by saying it's just preference a preference is racist plain and simple. take a moment to look what you people are saying "those people have fat ugly lips big nasty butts and those flat noses." Sexual preference (racism) isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as it doesn't affect other aspects of life but I have a feeling that a lot of these feelings are derived from innate racism and ethnocentrism that you may not be consciously aware of. Not picking on you atlas addressing people as a whole.

I think that most people here when they think average black girl, a fat ugly pig dressing in baggy clothes come to mind because that's what is often portrayed in media as the average black person from the ghettos when in actually what's shown is media tends to be the most trashiest druggies that are causing problems which is why they're being focused on. The average white person on this forum has very limited exposure to black people I think.

I'm echoing Stark, if she were hot sure, but I'd find her hot asian chick more attractive m'self.

We've had nasty flamewars on this forum about people who said that they think black woman are unattractive "but that's not racist!" even though it fits the definition of racism quite neatly.

Obviously not enough, if it's not actually common. Some features I just don't find all that attractive. That's not to say they can't work around their natural hair texture or that I can't work around my dislike of it. I was merely generalizing in the broadest possible terms. I'm a fan of some features and not so much of others. Since course hair texture seems to be one of defining physical characteristics of the black "race" I don't see how it's irrelevant to whether or not I find black people more, less or just as physically attractive as other ethnic groups.

Honestly, even though I am attracted more to the average black girl than to the average white girl, I find black girl hair unattractive. It's incredibly hard to maintain and plenty of black girls just chops it short and gets a weave. If there hair is really long it often smells bad because of either the product that needs to be put into it to keep it straight and/or not being able to wash it often.

That said, I find other attributes that I am attracted to. Whereas a lot of the white people were saying how ugly those big lips are, I have no idea where that is coming from. I am unable to understand how thin lips are found to be more attractive and big lips honestly feel better to kiss.

Do they seriously buy into those stereotypes? It's true that because of our serious social issues, being black is correlated with poverty, and hence with obesity, e.g., but that doesn't (or shouldn't) make skin color a fator in finding someone unattractive.

And if we want to indulge in stereotypes, I myself find the flattened black/asian nose more attractive than pointier white nose.

I think dark skin accentuates muscle tone in an awesome way: both buff black guys and athletic black women look awesome.

My friend Andy and I voluntarily got on our knees to be leashed by a black woman in a leather outfit with the most wicked dreds I ever saw.

In short: Yes.

Well in that sense, they are talking about how black girls tend to have the hour glass shape and proportion than white girls and saying that they find that unattractive but I agree with the being black being correlated with poverty and ugliness.

A beautiful (or smoking hot) woman is beautiful, that simple.

That being said, I DO have something of a fetish for ivory pale, red haired women, but that doesn't stop me savouring the delights of a darker skinned beauty. Hell, sometimes I get the opposite desire towards my usual and hunger for a black woman.

I find that many things people say they 'dislike' about 'black women' aren't features of black women at all: they're elements of 'gangsta' culture and fashion. Sure, nobody likes a crackhead in a hoody, or bad hygenie, or unattractive, outrageous hairdos (well, maybe some people do

) but these are NOT elements of an ethnicity.

It may be just plain racist, or it may be simply that I am not exposed to as many blacks as I am whites (I think most people aren't very attractive, so given that the local population (and the media, for that matter) has a far, far higher percentage of whites, it might be a statistical bias). I'm not really sure.

Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett Smith, Lisa Bonet (especially in High Fidelity)...

Elfdart · Post by **Elfdart** » 2007-04-12 01:29am

I don't know that a preference is inherently racist unless you exclude others out of hand. I had a thing for natural redheads when I was in my late teens/ early twenties. Of course that pretty much excludes almost all blacks, asians and most latinas. On the other hand, like almost all other men I don't always get exactly what I want. Hair color, complexion, eye color, size of her tits, shape of her legs and ass, and other variables are not deal breakers.

I think the difference is when someone looks at Halle Berry or Salma Hayek (or pick other non-white hotties if those two do nothing for you) and instead of getting wood feels some kind of revulsion and decides "no way". I would chalk that up to racism and the same kind of displacement you see when the vast majority of homophobes are aroused by gay imagery. In other words, they make a big deal about rejecting people when they feel attracted to them because they're just fucked up losers.

Shakira says the hips don't lie. Well the dick doesn't lie, either.

Starglider · Post by **Starglider** » 2007-04-12 01:48am

All other things being equal, I find darker skin tones marginally more attractive than white skin. I think that's just because I have a general case of xenophilia: I find catgirls, pixies and Andorians hot after all (good thing my partner likes cosplay

).

Subjective taste for skin colour isn't any more racist than subjective taste for hair or eye colour, which is to say not at all. Any claim that black women are 'objectively' less attractive, aside from being pretty much a non sequitur, is both racist and fucking stupid.
