I do not date african american men for 4 reasons. 1)Although I am a mostly UNprejuidiced person, I have loved ones who would be uncomfortable with me being in an interracial relationship and I choose to respect their wishes. 2)I have not met many african american men whom I found attractive (I just have a thing for very fair skinned guys w/ blue eyes...) 3)Most african american men who are looking for a white woman seem VERY hung up on race and seem to "get off" on dominating a white woman. I don't want a man being with me just cause he has a fetish for women who look like me. I want him to be ask me out cause he likes Geeky Girl , not cause he likes blonde-headed white girls. This actually goes for any of my physical attributes. It's similiar to how I don't want to date guys who have a major fetish for blondes, for big boobs, or for chunky girls. I am all those things, but I wanted him to like me as a person, not as a fetish. 4)I have several african american friends, and being around them has taught me that they do have a very different culture and they often have a very different upbringing than mine (they tend to have different social values, religious values, etc.) So far, I have yet to meet a man of the african american race whom I had a lot in common with. That's not to say they aren't there..I just haven't met them yet. If I met one I had a lot in common with, I might change my mind. On a side note, I do have some negative associations with african american men. I work in a jail and deal with inmates of all races. Every inmate who has ever throw semen on me or jerked off while looking at me was african american. I have NEVER had a white, hispanic, or asian man do this to me. Never, in 4yrs. Every one of them has been african american. Does that mean anything? I don't know, but it has left me with a knee jerk reaction towards "men of color". It makes me wonder if there is something in the cultural upbringing which doesn't stress sexual respect towards women.
