Online Dating????

I was considering online dating, but after reading that I think grad school would be a better use of my time. :smt081

 

What to you want women to take pictures like this?



And please men are fake, hence my date with Rerun

That didn't help. Any more dumb suggestions?

 

Who ever said I had a hard time? I just have the intelligence to acknowledge certain things even though I haven't had to experience them. The cops have never stopped and frisked me but I acknowledge there is a problem with that. Just because you're fortunate enough to pull who you want doesn't mean its easy for everyone and back to what this thread is about, I have never seen women single out any group that they wouldn't date like they do black men. There are several articles on it from Okcupid. When I've viewed profiles in the past women of all races including black women are quick to say no black guys.

 

It was a joke seriously lighten up kid lol

 

Its recognizing the American climate. How can you ignore that?

 

I'm not saying you are wrong or right. I'm just saying that a lot of guys tend to say the same thing. IDK when I go over seas. I'll confirm or deny. If I confirm it, then I probably won't be back in the usa lol. j/k

 

Seems like a cop out from people who are having trouble in the love department. Can't possibly be something wrong with them, so it's "American women" who are the issue. Smh.

 

When you personally have experience dating women as a black man then you can talk about it until then forever hold your peace.
You seriously have no clue what you're talking about. If a woman said she had a hard time getting paid for doing the same work a man did is it a cop out or a reality of how things are in the work place?

 

When you personally have experience being an American white woman then you can talk about it. Until then forever hold your peace.

I've only heard a select few talk about how it's easier to pull foreign women...maybe it's just their preference, maybe they can't get an American woman. I don't really care. The point that you're still failing to grasp is that no one likes to be categorized. It seems incredibly ignorant to lump groups of people together based on one commonality. American ww as a whole are not more inclined to be uptight. Nor are we less inclined to love black men. I think those judgements are complete bs. You're free to think that way, but debating me won't change my view on the topic

 

Not trying to change your mind just highlighting your bullshit. And I don't have to be an American white women to see with my own two eyes the culture of this country and how it affects how people are treated and viewed. You can't possibly get it since ww are essentialy put on a pedestal. I have rarely heard men of any race say they won't fuck with a ww. Its not always fair and equal tit for tat. I don't have to be one of you to observe how our culture treats you but I think for many white people in general they need to spend a day in the shoes of other races to really get how good they have it. Damn white privilege is alive and well.

 

Rather than generalizing about the people in a given country, it's probably easier to make an assessment about the mass culture in each location, while simultaneously recognizing that people defy the stereotype and break boundaries everywhere.

You can say that Western European society is more open on race (writ large) than US society and less sexually puritan. But you can also say that some European societies are more elitist and class-driven. And just because a society is more restrictive on a certain question doesn't mean that all of the people uniformly are as well. The closest thing I can say to partially address this point is that in the US I tend to date women who are part of the counter-culture and in Europe the women I have dated tend to be more a part of the European mainstream. Both groups of women are open to interracial dating.

 

I wouldn't date a Turkish man (because of their view of women). Same goes for every other culture that puts down women, like Egypt or India for example. I just wouldn't put that in an online dating profile cause I don't want to offend people or look like a racist.

 

How come you don't need to experience something to know what its like & can offer expert opinions, but no one else can do the same?

And I for one, am sick of the "WW are on a pedestal" crap. If we are, who put us there? You describe this like all WW walk around with our noses in the air like we're royalty, peering down at y'all peasants from our lofty positions of privilege. It's you that sees it that way. That's your perception. And by viewing us that way, you are automatically placing yourself "lower", for lack of a better word. If you keep that attitude alive, you're right: there will never be equality.

I'm not oblivious to the fact that white privilege exists - but I wasn't as aware of it until I joined this site. Just like most of us dont realize just how good we have it, until we meet someone who is less fortunate than we are. If a homeless guy is envious that you have a home, car, food to eat, a job, etc, do you want to be made to feel guilty for that? Do you want him throwing it in your face that you're "privileged" to have that? Did you ask to have all those things, and him have nothing? Well neither do WW ask or expect to be put up on a pedestal while the rest of the world worships at the base of it.

 

I never said others need to experience things in order to have an idea about certain things. I doubt any of us need to experience homelessness to know that it sucks my issue is acting like homelessness doesn't exist at all and if it does its because you copped out some how.

I am not saying its anyone's fault they are privileged much like those of us fortunate to live in the western world while things were good but I don't deny that it's good and much of that has to do with cultural norms.
I never once described ww walking around like they have their noses in the air you just perceive it that way because the term ww comes up in a way you don't agree so you become offended. My opinion that a lot of bm find better luck with ww from other countries is based on American culture and history neither of which we are responsible for but have to deal with. Its very easy to see the world through your personal lens and think thats the way it is but sometimes you have to step back and look around. I have never had a problem meeting women, I live in one of the most liberal/populated areas on earth so ww galore for me but it doesn't make me blind to things that happen around me. I also have an edge because of my education and suburban upbringing but it doesn't make me oblivious to the fact that many black dudes who want to date ww have a much harder time approaching/relating to ww even though they are attracted to them. Its really rough cutting through the racial bs sometimes, but with Europeans, Australians, and Canadians that same racial barrier doesn't exist. So I can see how its in fact easier.

 

To me that's a responsible assessment only because those group of men tend to be so controlled by the culture I can't see why a western woman would subject herself to that shit.

Now would you date a Turkish American or someone Turkish who was raised in Europe?
See the difference?
