Count me as an Admirer.....I know I'm a white guy in his 20s, but I just have to say it
I LIKE black women (though not exclusively).....Women are women, but it never appears that black women respond romantically to white guys.
And NO, I'm not bitter about women of other races,---I just feel that African-American women get such a bad rap in the media (hence BET, "booty-shakin' videos", etc.) and what's on TV doesnt accurately represent ALL black women.
In fact, I see attractive sophisticated and modest black women all the time whose personality, looks and demeanor are nothing like the stereotypes we hear everyday---
Just wanted to let you all know that.
And in Case you are wondering why I posted these comments,...it's because I recently had a discussion with a friend who says he thinks Black Women are at the "bottom of the barrel"----NOT at all true, ladies.

Well, isn't that sweet =) We are definitely NOT the bottom of the barrel! As with all racial groups, we are diverse. There's the good and bad among us just like everyone else. Thanks for the appreciation!
PS
Of course it depends on where you are, but in response to the answer above mine, interracial dating is actually getting more popular in many cities (I'm from South Florida and I see a lot of biracial couples). There're ignorant people everywhere you go, but most of them know to keep their mouths shut where I'm from. The older generation always has a harder time with it because they lived in those horrible times during the civil rights violence and struggle, but their time is past. It's our turn now as the young people. Our turn to make positive changes in race realtions and the rest of the world.
Either way, you should never let fear of other people's reactions dictate who you date and who you choose as a partner in life. When you close the door to your home, it will be you and that person you spend most of your life with. Not the rest of the world.

I agree, nice to hear something positive said about black women, or black people in general for that matter.
You are like my husband (who is white) he loves colored women (black, spanish, etc.) he just isn't attracted to white girls.
I'm glad that you realize that women are women and not one particular group of women are "at the bottom of the barrel".
Have a good day and continue to keep an open mind. And disregard everything the poster made about all the negativity you will go through. Love who you love and don't give a crap about what others think. I know that I don't.

Mr. Admirer,
Although it may be appreciated that you like black women, you are still too young to really understand all the negativity you will face if you persue this matter. Don't get me wrong, you can't help your heart if you fall for someone from another race. What I'm telling you, from someone who is older and has lived the life, is that there are a lot of black women and men who will feel threatened by this. Think about that for a moment.
Yes, there are some black women here who answered that may agree with you, but that is just a small number against those who will strongly disagree. And I'm not saying this just to be mean or hurt your feelings, but I want you to face reality for what it is.
And for the person who answered that you have to go to the "hood" to find an acceptable black woman who likes white men, that is not true. There are a lot of black women who live outside of the "hood" who may also like or dislike white men.
But too each his own. Who knows, you may eventually fall in love with an individual who is mexican or black. But also be prepared for the negativity that you will eventually face in the years to come.
Good luck!!!

its about time i heard something positive about black women made here. The typical questions on here are 'why are black women *itches?' 'aren't black dudes too goo for their women?' finally, something positive.
