Am I a self hater if I can kind of understand when guys say there aren't as many hot Black girls as other races (Pls read all!!!)?

I am a Black woman so I always got offended by this statement because I know it's not natural or biological, since a lot of black girls are naturally pretty, but I'm starting to look around (I live in a very diverse city) and see what some guys mean by this. I mean, it's not like the stereotype comes from nowhere I guess. Many Black girls and women dress and carry themselves in a weird way. I very rarely see another Black girl who is thin with a nice body who is wearing something sexy, feminine or cute. I see other races of girls like this much more though, but Black girls who wear pink or wear dresses or skirts, have cute natural hair, are thin and smile and seem happy and confident are SOooo rare. Most seem more urban in style and their clothes are usually cheaper, lots wear weaves and few wear makeup but the ones who do often put on too much (with a long weave that makes them look fake, which isn't sexy when other girls are more natural about their looks) and many have a boisterous personality and seem more "Im a diva" types. Other races are often thinner, wear sexier but classier looking clothes, have natural hair, wear enough makeup to look natural but good and seem easier to talk to if I were a guy (like they don't give vibes like they'd laugh at a guy).

Update:

Plus theres a looott of fat black girls who wear tight clothes and think they are hot and fabulous. Other races of fat girls are usually insecure and want to be skinny. Its good that black girls are confident, but in our society being fat is bad so yeahhh you aren't seen as hot, sorry, but you're adding to the stereotype that we're ugly ! lol

Update 2:

I'm talking about AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN, btw. Foreign Black women are beautiful. Are you kidding? Black Latinas, Caribbean and African women are a world's apart from African Americans in many ways.

Update 3:

GintokisGirl:

I have traveled a lot around this country and been in around half of the states in the U.S and a bit outside the country. The worst looking Black women were in the South, but Atlanta has some very attractive women. In general this holds to be true.

Also I know plenty of black girls who date interracially and are married or have men, I am as well, but this still stands as a general thing I notice.

    I agree. Ppl can be offended by this if they want but I see this often. The world does not hate black women. Many people do want to see us do well. Men of all races appreciate black women that take care of themselves.

    I'm black female and attractive. I take very good care of my self and I stick out like a purple thumb. I see many pretty black girls who do not groom themselves as well as other races. They make minimal effort like do their hair. And they can be so pretty but are obese or overweight. I see these type so much its disappointing.

    Then there are girls who look pretty good but behave like boys/men and are very aggressive they're really disturbing.

    Men do love and appreciate black women. Many black women are holding themselves back though.

    When men of all races see black women that groom themselves well, are very feminine and walk with confidence they just watch like they are proud to see this like they don't see it often.

    I wish more black were ok with being feminine.

    Lol all I know is that I take care of myself a lot of non black guys from different parts of the world tell me Im pretty and different Im not even light skinned so it varies for everyone. It depends all on your location some black girls simply dont know how to take care of themselves. They could be really beautiful if they did I hate when they wear those fake long synthetic poinytails. I found out that alot of black girls look 10x better with a natural hairstyle like dreads or a big poofy afro. BUT theres women like that in all races where I live even white women walk around like that. Black women usally dont wear makeup ur right about that thats why other races are seen as more attractive because they keep it on all the time when they take it off they look no better than black girls.

    Not a self-hater, just unbelievably misinformed.

    How can you come to this conclusion when you haven't met many black women aside from the ones in your area? I am fairly certain you haven't met me, and I highly doubt you've traveled much.

    If you have, then I am sure you would realise that all you are doing, as well as the people in your area, are heavily generalising. That is NOT based on fact, nor does it have ANY VALIDITY.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has a different type of beautiful. I have never had trouble getting men of any race and I'm a very respectful woman and I treat everyone with respect. Many black women where I live are with Asian men, and they're very happy and in committed relationships. All of my family members are married and have been with their partners for a numerous amount of years.

    People who generalise like this don't travel extensively, and they use their misinformed thoughts and think they are true, when it's quite the opposite.

    I don't agree that most black girls are pretty. Some are pretty, but that's the same with every race. And I'm waiting to be called a self hater since I said I don't find all black girls attractive

    I don't think that necessarily means you're a self-hater, however, I do think it means that you - like many people of all backgrounds in Western society - have fallen prey to European/colonial ideals of beauty.

    I agree that African women are gorgeous. I have a friend from an African country, she is very dark skinned and tall and thin (but her butt is still round! urgh lol). She dresses very well and loves Steve Madden and Abercrombie & Fitch clothes and she smiles a lot and is very happy. She attracts men and is attractive. If she were African American she'd probably weigh more, smile less often, have a weave and dress in a hip hop style - and she'd hate her skin color too most likely.

    Afro Latinas are also effortlessly sexy and pretty. It's African American girls who have this weird style thats not appealing at all.

    But if you mention it to them they get MAJORLY offended and act like they have no idea what youre talking about!! But people aren't just saying it just to be racist jerks, there are lots of people who dont say it directly but hint that they feel the same way. If African American women want to act like its only racism that doesn't find their style/cultural mannerisms attractive then they'll continue to be seen as less attractive by lots of guys compared to other races.

    and fsr lots of them act like they're fine with that as in "Who cares, I know Im attractive!" Oh BS, no woman wants to be part of the ugly race. That's why I'm annoyed. I attract men and always have to hear how Im hotter than other/most African American girls but I can see why!! I just want to tell some women that they have pretty faces and will look much better if they take out the extra packet of weave or take off the wig, lose some weight and dress/look like a woman, but then I'd probably get beat up by them to be honest.

    I've traveled the world and visited a number of continents.

    I have seen beautiful black women in abundance.

    The fact that you feel otherwise is nothing more than... YOUR OPINION.

    And we all have one of those, don't we? Yes, your opinion is hateful. Well done.

    Source(s): I see a certain correlation between this question and gibberish.

    The black girls that are beautiful are from Africa. They aren't huge....their ebony skin is flawless...and t hey speak beautiful English. They also are very educated and know how to respect people.

    It's really unfortunate the ones who complain about racism have no self respect. Their ancestors worked hard for their freedom yet they've forgotten REAL black culture.

    Problem is they go on vacation to LA and Miami...but once in their lifetime they should visit Africa.

    Your points are really really valid honestly. You're not a self hater. Just simply stating things that have a good amount of accuracy to it.

    No, but you're apparently off your meds if your wrote this rather convoluted "question".

    In particular I chuckled when one of your criteria for being "hot" is to wear pink. I'll have to share this around the office.
