ReneeMemberBe yourself. I am not far out of high school, and I remember how it was for me. I also had issues with black men approaching me vs. white men. Some of the reason is probably intimidation, but that is probably not the entire reason. If you are interested in a brotha, you may have to approach him. He may think you are attractive but that you don’t prefer black men, so he is not even going to try to approach you. Especially, if there are plenty of other black females right there that he doesn’t feel intimidated by or feel too nervous for whatever reason to approach. He doesn’t even have to put out much effort to get with someone. Many young black males are under pressure from peers to act a certain way. They may not approach you because of this. They see you and think, ‘If I get with this girl I have to act a certain way and treat her a certain way . . . man, I’ll look soft and I can’t have that. I’m hard,’ and all they can think about is how they will look. As you probably know, perception is quite important in high school. Unfortunately, many young black males haven’t matured enough to realize they can really be themselves, whatever that may be. For them it is hard because the popular culture says they have to act that way or otherwise they will be disrepected. Don’t be too discouraged, honey. No matter how many negative things I hear about a black man, I see twice as many positive things. There are plenty of good, respectful and loving black men out there. I have one. Just be patient.
