Influenced by friends

Hi all,
Just curious how many white women out there like me have been influenced by your girlfriends dating black men. One of my friends has a black boyfriend and that gave me the courage to try double dating with her and a friend of her boyfriends.

 

that is how i got started 30 years ago...LOL..those handsome football/basketball players from the cross town rival school...my girlfriend was dating this boy sam...i dated one of his friends...keep in mind this was in the early 80s...small town..redneck state...i could care less what people thought...i gave my father a lot of grey hair...i have always been someone that danced to the beat of her own drummer...

 

Well I was influenced by a good friend of mine.Her biological dad had died when she wasnt even born yet and when she was in pre-school age her mom got married to a black man from the states.She herself had a thing for black men,too.
That girl was the first person I have went clubbing with and yes she also did influence my taste in men a lot

 

i've influenced a friend time ago, but my friends r too scared of black ppl to like them . I wasn't influenced by anybody.

 

I'm with ThickShawty. Most of my friends who are girls (well, there aren't many of those) and white date white guys. Maybe the occasional hispanic guy, but mostly white. Usually they use family opinion as the excuse for their choices in partner.

I just don't give a fuck, and date who I want to. No one really influenced my preference, and I rarely let people influence my decisions in anything, unless they basically tell me what I was already thinking.

 

the friend who got me started said she got into black after she saw the "websites" with black men and white women on the net

I didn't know a soul who dated interracially when I first started. When I went to a large college, I was really interested to see and meet all of the different people from so many different backgrounds. However, I learned quickly that just because we were all together on one campus didn't mean that there wasn't self-imposed segregation. But like eventually finds like. Decades later and I still surround myself with a wide variety of friends.

 

I agree like might find like, but the thought of my friends influencing who I am with seems kind of.. sick..to me.


My friends have always been very diverse in that respect. We are all open to dating whatever race of guy, it's not even something that's a big deal or topic of discussion, but the types of men we date are very different.

 

I did but it was very subtle. I had a roommate in college years ago that dated members of the basketball team (no I am stereotypically talking here). I thought I did not approve until one night I kinda walked in on them. I think then the seed was planted.

It took me 10 years after that to date my first BM. I think Tammie set the ball in motion for me. Too bad we lost track of each other. I have always wondered if she married any of those guys.

Please elaborate when you state the seed was planted! Were you aroused? Did you say I wonder what black men were like as a person, not from a sexual standpoint...

 

lol he planted the seed!
