The sight of a black male/white female couple seems very common, but white male/black female couples are very rare. In discussing interracial dating with single black female acquaintences, the dominant point of view seems to be 'all the brothers are married, gay or dating white women,' and there seems to be a lot of resentment toward white women who 'steal' black men. The message I get from all this is that black women, as a whole, aren't as open to the idea of interracial dating as black men are. It's hard enough finding a partner of the same race - why would I pursue a black woman, and deliberately put myself into a situation where I'll likely be rejected? Other factors unrelated to race include weight and culture. There seems to be a proportionately large amount of overweight black women compared to white women, and as you'll probably see in previous messages posted on Y?, black men are more open to dating 'big beautiful women' than white men are. If a black woman comes from a working class background or the ghetto, there may be some major cultural differences, and few shared experiences, between her and a middle-class white man.

Whenever I respond to a personal ad placed by a woman online, I take the time to compose a detailed, literate response. I don't send off form letters, nor are my responses sexually explicit. I'll sometimes spend as long as 30 minutes crafting a response -- the least that a woman could do is take a couple of minutes to say 'thanks, but no thanks,' just so I don't keep my hopes up. To blow off a sincere reply is not only rude, but very disrespectful of my time.

If someone is 10, 15 pounds overweight, it really doesn't bother me. However, just as most women I know would feel uncomfortable with the idea of dating a man who is shorter than they are, I'm not attracted to women who seem bigger than me. If a woman is attracted only to men who are taller than 6', though, it's called "natural selection in action," but if I'm not attracted to a big beautiful woman, I'm "superficial" and "shallow."
