You know, they can have some real swag to them, even though they may not look it. And so maybe these guys are charismatic. Maybe they're gentlemen. Maybe they're just kind. Maybe they have a lot of qualities that women are attracted to aside from appearance, and that's what helped them to win some of these women over. So, I don't know. What do you guys think? Thank you so much

But they've been together for a long time, and I believe that they're christians. I believe they're believers. But, yeah, I agree with everything you said. Black women, we tend to be a little harsh and push away the guys that could be for us. But I was never like that. I always saw beyond, like, the appearance and such like that, and. But there are a lot of black girls who are very superficial, much like the guys

However, I would date a guy that's geeked out or whatever because, one, he looks very smart. He looks like he, um, handles himself very well in life because he don't have all that tattoos and all this other stuff. I'm not attracted to that. So each woman is different. Now, the black woman effect, I can see that. I can see how you would dress him up because, like I say, we do fashion so well, right?

And we can look at certain men and tell, okay, he's not the. He's not the captain of this ship like he may be, you know, the image to present it to make things look good. But she's running the ship, and we see that a lot. I have yet to see a interracial relationship where that man presents a firm masculinity to, you know what I'm saying is usually the woman, she is like, almost like an unvieve

I think that black women feel like it speaks to their value to be able to attract someone that's not black, because I think that black women just feel like the only man we can really attract are black men, whereas women of other races can attract men of different races. It seems like black women feel as though they can only attract black men. So when they do attract someone outside of their race, they feel like, okay, this speaks to my value, you know, as a

Hey, sis. Thank you so much for your response. Yes, each of us are different and we're all attracted to different things. And so that's why we have to be so careful when one group of people tries to speak for an entire community. I see that a lot because I run a fan page for the Dallas Cowboys and I see all the time where these fans try to say, we don't want. Okay, you're speaking for yourself, sir

Hey, sis. Thank you so much for your response. You know, unfortunately, a lot of black women would be attracted to the after rather than the before. One of the things I noticed in these videos is that these couples were very young when they first got together. And when you're really young getting together, you're not as picky about that sort of thing because both of you are still trying to find your personal style

So this is actually very new to me because I visit book clubs online. Some of them are interracial book clubs and some of them are not. But so far, the black women within those clubs, they're not even remotely interested in non black men who act black or try to have black swag. They're into masculine men who are just men
