Man... some of you people have real issues!  My wife is black and I see none of any of this crap some of the answers have been spewing!\n\nSome of you need to wake up, throw away those stereotypes and look at reality.\n\nWhere I live you see more and more BF/WM couples.  Like another answer said, this is the fastest growing IR relationship type.  \n\nWhen people start to realize people are people, regardless of race, then, this country can really start to do great things!

Speaking as a Black female I think there is a very strong double standard in our (African-American) culture.  Black men will date a white female in a New York minute, but cry foul the minute they see us with a white or any other man.  We tend to get hassled more by other Blacks for dating outside of our race.  Also, many (not all) white men are raised to appreciate a more Euro centric standard of beauty (blonde hair, blue eyes, big boobs, skinny body, small butt, etc); in spite of the "browning" of America this beauty standard still dominates.   Black females don't fit into that particular beauty standard so I think it's hard for some (again some not all!) white men to see our beauty.  I also think it's hard because of the painful past that Black women have with white men.  When white men do approach us, some of us tend to be suspicious of them.  This is just my opinion for why you don't see more  Black females with white males.  If you're really serious about interracial dating, there are websites that are dedicated to this.

I think it has to do with the individual and the perception of the opposite gender.\n\nThe main reason why so many Asian men probably don't immediately go for the Black woman is because they're probably intimidated by them. Their perception of black women's attitudes and boisterous natures is a turn-off for an otherwise stoic and mild-mannered Asian man. Being an Asian youth myself, I know that we value being relatively reserved compared with other races. Hey, you know, different strokes for different folks. It's the differences that make life interesting.\n\nI know that most of these perceptions are probably stereotypes perpetuated by the media. There are plenty of Black women who are probably more reserved than some Asian men. But the times you do see instances of an intimidating, strong Black woman in public, it certainly won't be appealing to an Asian American man, who was more than likely raised to not talk too much, and to keep a somewhat low profile.\n\nYou also have to keep in mind the settings in which Black women and Asian men live. I don't think there are too many places in the US where Asians and Blacks live together in close proximity everyday. Most blacks live in the American South and in the high density urban areas, and most Asians live in the American west coast in various neighborhoods and suburbs surrounded by others who are like themselves. So just sheer distance and lack of interaction from the races may be a factor in the lack of interracial relationships. \n\nWhat about the University? The vast majority of Asian men attend a college and value education. That's where you'll find a lot of Asian men. We typically find the women (Black, Asian, white or otherwise) that attend the university too as more appealing since they share similar educational values.\n\nIt's my opinion that more Asian men would go after Black women if their perception of most Black women didn't include that of being too strong and intimidating. If the images and the instances Asian men see change, then I don't see why more Asian men wouldn't go after Black women. After all, most Asian men are like the Asian women that many men find attractive: generally respectful and reserved people. It's totally a cultural thing.

I know whatcha mean but it's just an illusion. It's a minority from each race that's attracted to us plus our own beautiful black women makes it seam a lot. Every time I've had a "first time with a black man" they had the expectation of passionate long lasting sex.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it...i am a white woman and i am very open-minded. i have dated black, white, whatever. it all depends on the type of person u r looking for. i'd rather be with a black man that loves me than a white man that beats me, or vise versa.....

That's a wonderful question. My cousin acts foolish when she sees a hott black guy with a white girl. The girl can be asian, latin, or whatever and if she's not black then Tameka is like "nah that girl is white." She doesn't even stop to think that I'm a bit offended b/c I'm half white. But back to answering your question. She has explained to me that all the good black guys are with white girls and she's left with the drug dealers, ex cons, scrubs w/ baby momma drama, and broke down living with they mom guys b/c the rest of the black guys were either gay or in jail. That's her take. I see her point, but I got a man so I ain't trippin off nobody else's happiness. If you happy do what you want. The problem is these angry black women are looking in the wrong place for black men and they're looking for the wrong traits. Don't worry bout the size of the wallet, think character. Leave the ghetto and look for a man with education, go to the library, even better go to college.

Nope, they're are just broadening their horizons like everyone else.  Some who have been hurt by black women turn to not just white women but other races also.  It's the same on why some black women date white men or others.  For some it's a preference to date outside their race but others it might be curiosity.  I've dated other races besides black men and it's not a preference, it's an opportunity to sample the appetizers.  Why have one kind when there is so many varieties?

Yikes... I think those white guys are just going through a cultural dilemma and they don't know the beauty in all women. That's gonna be their own loss. I think the black girls don't wanna put up with the black boys' bullsh*t of cheating and running their mouths!!

I say abso-friggin-lutely.  I will encourage an interracial couple every chance I get because they need it more than any other couple -- at least that's the case here in the southern United States.  I say if the person you love is not the same color, screw anybody who doesn't like it.  It's your life and you can live it the way you want.

Wrong.. White women do not allow black men to run all over them. I am white and my fiance is black. We have a son, and we take care of each other-do things for each other and love one another with all we've got. \n\nHe will go to the ends of the earth for me. Black women (no offense - but I've got to speak the truth) say we take more crap because they feel inferior and need something to blame the black men for, for desiring any other race but themselves. \n\nThey should not feel inferior - but they do. Black men like us for different reasons. My man loves me for the following:\n\n1. My long, soft, shiny (pan-teen style) hair\n2. My green eyes that have flecks of gold and change to gray and blue sometimes.\n3. My Dimples.\n4. My personality - the way i make him laugh\n5. My heart. \n\nNot because im white, but because I am me and anyone else who makes up idiotic reasons - needs professional help because they are feeling inferior about themselves.

I don't know why either.  I am in an interracial marriage, and am very happy with it.  Sure, there are people who do not agree with our relationship, but we don't care.  "They don't pay our bills."\n\nIt astounds me at times how people will go out of their way to rationalize their prejudices.  They say, "Interracial relationships are wrong because society will be very hard on an interracial couple."  Society is hard on everybody.  If it's not about your race, it will be about something else.  Life is not fair, and fair is not equal.  But life is beautiful, and I agree with you-- all people are beautiful.

People are still prefer their own race. A documentary was on TV recently that showed how black women preferred black men over white and hispanic. The men had to earn an average salary higher than the black man to even be considered.\n\nYou theory about black guys pertains to black women only. Hispanic and white women both preferred their own races in this study. Search CNN for more information.

I think that is awesome, I am a white guy and love black women but have never had the chance to date one because most black girls i have met dont like white guys. That is weird that it is more acceptable when it is a white chick and a black guy, but it sure seems that way. No it is not weird, we like who we like. Thats just the way it is.

*Shrugs* Its the forbidden fruit.  Women like black guys, black guys like white women, white guys like black women, black women like white guys.\n\nIts attitude and social understanding.  I have a neice thats been pretty much disowned by the entire family simply because she keeps hanging around with black rappers who spend time in jail for doing really stupid crimes.\n\nMeanwhile, my best male friend is black and everyone likes him.\n\nAttitude, and social skills, not money and toolsize is whats important

Beauty lies in the eye of beholder. Each person will be more attracted to person of the same community in most cases. That is why interracial marriages are very rare.

it depend on the person, ive seen some hot black guys, ive seen some ugly black guys. ive seen some hot white guys, ive seen some ugly white guys- you just cant group the entire race together in one general subject. you may just have a preference which nothing is worng with that, i prefer dating black guys over white guys cuz thats my preference but i do date white guys, if they are cute, i date them- thats my theory lol

Seems like you have met some good women, and from the way you phrase your question, have not met "many black men". There are plenty of black men that are building, if not already on, a successful career path and place family values at the same level that the "dignified" women you have met do.  You might want to expand your associations to include some of these men.
