I know there's a 'hair thing' with black women and I just don't get it. I don't know why they're considered less attractive because of this, and black women do some pretty amazing things with their hair that I don't think white women can do nearly as well. I evaluate people for beauty like anyone else, but I try to stick with *their* 'typical' attributes. So, kinky hair is fine, Nefertiti-hairstyles are awesome, and yay for Asian women and their super-straight hair that never frizzes up in damp weather (bitches!!!) :)

I think many Indian men are quite attractive, but as one who was heavily targeted by them when I moved here, I can tell you it's cultural, not attractiveness. The Bollywood actor John Abraham? I fell in love with him and his big brown eyes when I saw "Kabul Express". He turned to the camera and I was like, "I'll marry him," and my Indian (male) friend I was with said, "Yeah, you and half a billion Indian women!"

Unfortunately, they tend to be very unsocialized and, from what I've read, think white women are like the ones they see in porno videos.

My dating history has been very spotty for the last twenty-odd years so I can't offer too much commentary on that, except to say I've gone out with a bunch of the races in Toronto, including white, and almost none of them can get past the first coffee date.

And granted, I'm more jaded than the Taj Mahal :)

My round hair follicle wife never seemed to understand our daughter's curly hair that tangles. Oow, owe, owe when she brushed their hair. The thing that they really wish they got from my wife is that she has never had reason to shave her legs.

In their teens they liked being able to choose their look without chemicals. One day they might iron it straight for their Asian look. Another day they'd braid it while wet before bed and have Sherley Temple curls the next day. In the summer they brown up and daughter number two looks like she could be from India.

When we were younger my wife permed her hair up tight. She looked like a black woman. We lived in Georgia where there was no benefit to being black, but she had the privilege of beauty so she experienced no negative issues. I liked it.

Maybe I'm not typical but I see nothing undesirable about black women. But I've never used a dating app. Do you think it is looks or a perception of personality?

I don't know. Maybe both. The guy I dated a bit a few years ago seemed to have a particular blonde white woman fetish, but I seriously wonder if he got it from porn, which I know he watched, we talked about it.

I don't really have a racial fetish myself, I only ever was concerned with culture and religion, i.e., does either make you misogynist? Didn't care about religion as long as a) There was no misogyniy and b) I wasn't expected to join the club.
