Black Dating Disadvantage (Asian x African-American)?

I find myself pretty depressed today because I feel like I have this huge disadvantage that I can't do nothing about... My Race. The chicks I'm attracted too don't seem to be interested in black men or more often then not I got to over come massive racial barriers with weeks of talking just to see them go ape **** over the first white guy that flirts them.

The first few times I tried to act like it was just the chicks I was encountered trying to not generalize but today when the girl I was flirting with for 3 months told me she didn't want to take things further because she liked somebody else (White guy at her job)... well I lost it... I kinda want to know why so many Asian girls prefer white guys and why does it seem like dating a black guy is a down grade for so many of them?

    First of all drop the race thing completely. She either loves you for who you are , or she doesn't. Maybe your a bit impatient. It takes time to get it right, do not fret, let things happen naturally. Why don't you try just being friends first and forget about anything else. If things grow from there great, if it doesn't, well at least you have a good friend and the world doesn't stop there. Race is not a big deal, but finding the right person is, and if those girls do not want anything to do with you, that's ok, you do not want those kind of girls anyway, nothing lost. Good luck in your find.

    I know a few asian girls who dated or used to date black guys. You're probably trying a little too hard and it's not your time yet. Chill, relax, make some friends first before worrying about the whole girlfriend thing (being depressed won't make things better).

    You are so full of bullshit. Asian girls prefer Asian guys.

    VV

    Not ALL, but most. Ever been to Asia? Didn't think so. And I'm referring to East Asians, not Indians.

    And I just realized you said "Asian girls DON'T prefer Asian guys". Wow, really? Typical stereotyping. Retard.

    First though, the numbers/stats for "single" Black women are no way true, most Black girls I know are with guys, but most aren't married. Not even the ones with children by the men. But for a certain sect of Black women then the reasons why are a lot deeper. Its a part of the community by now - in mostly lower income "ghetto" areas. Most Black children are raised by a single mom, so Black mothers(or the community) have unintentionally created a structure where they tend to "look out" for their sons more while forcing independence on their daughters. I think its because being a woman you feel your daughter "can deal with it" more, but you don't understand your sons, so you attempt to protect them and let them get away with more. The community as a whole puts a LOT more into the problems/stereotypes that Black males face than the ones Black females face, people don't seem to care much if Black women are stereotyped badly or seen in a bad way -- Expect for Black women - but then you could just say we're over emotional/bitter about anything and ignore any problems there. So for Black women in the community the focus is on Black men, sticking by Black men, and trying to suck up to and make Black men happy. Which means few Black girls look to men outside of Black men, along with what you said... ...Add in the fact that there are more Black females than Black men and it gets worse. Black men's incarceration/murder rates are too high, so they become prized and sought after by even more girls within our communtiy because they are "rare". So Black men can have sex as much as they want, and just go from one girl to the next and the next and so on. STD levels rise, single parent households rise and then so many of the problems all start over again. Its all messed up. Its also why Black men are SO materialistic like women, in how they dress/groom/carry themselves and more, which makes them appealing to other races of women, so then the competition becomes worse and even more Black girls are willing to do anything for a Black guy, which usually just involves sex. So Black girls "single" rate is higher than others because fewer Black girls/women are in stable, "normal" marriages/relationships. Its not about desirability, but rather many BW staying to one SMALL group of men, and trying to compete for them, so its the "not dating IR" part too. BW don't feel comfortable dating IR because the Black community reinforces the idea that non Black men 1) aren't as good as black men 2) are racist, and too different/judgemental towards us.

    You are dating girls through race instead of personality. Whenever you date, look pass colors and look for the type of girl you are dating.
