do white women who date black men suffer from self-esteem issues?

this is my observation, anyway. I notice that the girls with the most

need for attention usually have the lowest self esteem. These types often date black men for the attention it gives them.

How far off base am I?

    You are so far off base that you are outside of the ball park!

    It could be anything. Maybe the guy is a really nice guy. Or maybe the girl is kinky. Or maybe she does have low self esteem. What I'm trying to say is that you question is a little to general. You have to look at the man and then decide. My friends do this as well, they say white women with black men are usually trailer trash, but that's not always true.

    i think you are somewhat off base, it's a stereotype that I dont like since my bf is black. And I don't have selfesttem issues, anyone can look at me and tell that...BUT yea some women do. Well mainly it could just be that black guys, more than white guys anyways, seem to like curvier, thicker, sometimes even fat women....4 whatever reason...not sure y that is...but neways yea so alot of chubbier white women have lower self esteem because society says if you are female and you are white then you are supposed to be super skinny, NOT curvy...i don't know why that is either tho...but the black men find these women attractive and then hopefully these girls regain there selfesteem? well i hope they do...yea but this is my theory...

    Some people say it is because white girls will let black men take advantage of them and that is y they are together, but i dont think that is true...because white guys or heck ne other guys could take advantage just as easily! ...So I really think my theory is correct!

    I think it's pretty far off. Although I am not a white girl, I have seen many white girls completely in charge their black boyfriends/husbands. However, I think that black culture tends to produce men who don't mind being more forward and I can see where that would disproportionally attract people with low self esteem who need compliments.

    I think I know what you're talking about and I wonder if its really "self" hate issues, or just a hatred of the "familiar". Like a woman who dates a man who is completely opposite of her father, because her father was an abusive pig. Or a guy who dates a woman completely different from his mother because she was a mental case and made his childhood miserable. I knew a white girl who started dating black men simply because her first boyfriend (a white guy) really hurt her bad and broke her heart. She swore she'd never date anyone "like" him again, and she didn't! She never dated another white guy!

    That's probably true to some existent because white women that Ive dated do have low self esteem even though they are very attractive women that could date any type of guys they want. Crazy as it is they usually willing to put up with more bullsh!t than any black women that Ive dated.

    Well your question kind of sucked because if you like a guy it doesnt matter if he is white or black and I am sure you haven't seen the whole world.

    Have you?

    Absolutely not!!! They suffer from being too fat to get a white guy.

    No you racist. Maybe they just like black men. You obviously have issues though.
