Go look at every thread in the womans locker room and their replies and tell me we're not portrayed as sex symbols.

I'm waiting for the "Black Men with high IQ's" thread.

Go run those Philly streets Balboa or hit your boy Ness up. Like I said before my track record up against anyones at anytime son.

But Jaisee does bring up a good point at least the men have mad threads dedicated to smart chicks or accomplished chicks. It's a straight meat market with the women

my hat goes off to you

although it's worked both ways for me

sometimes i approach them, sometimes they come to me

either way, sitting behind a computer living life vicariously through others, is not the way

like jaisee said, you gotta go out and do shit and have confidence. you can't be turned off because you got turned down either. As men, we're supposed to be able to take it and keep trying.

Thanks. We still grow up in a culture where women feel a bit uncomfortable about making the first move, especially when they're younger. And even more uncomfortable about approaching a BM, because we make the following assumptions.

1. You're probably into BW and aren't interested

2. We've been told you have an entirely different culture, and we don't think we'd fit in there. Since the "dominant" media perception of black culture is hip hop and gansta...well, women like myself, even my younger self, would think we'd be a fish out of water.

It can take a few years to get over those ideas. I'm almost 53, and reasonably attractive for my age, or so I've been told here. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've been approached by BM in any other than a business colleague setting/relationship.

if ur photo was indicative of current status, id have to concur

like i said, it all comes down to people living life through others

get a job, exercise, take care of yourself and be proud of who you are. you'll attract a decent woman in no time if you apply yourself and work on what needs workin'

Thank you. I don't date BM because I "can't do better" (and who the HELL decided WM were better anyway?) I date both black men and white men because I find both attractive and interesting. You're all the same under the hood. ;-)

this is why these silly ass dudes need to step it up and talk more

even if it's just casual conversation, that's enough to let them know you're at least friendly towards white women. most of my 'associations' get started as a result of that.

If they'd take off their shirts and pose for us, I'd be all for it. Brains and looks are not mutually exclusive. I don't date men who aren't smart. If they're dim, they won't get my wit, and they will annoy me in a very short time. I am impatient with stupidity.

Exactly. I wish the women on here would motivate these dudes instead of lying. I'll tell them straight up WORKOUT STAY IN SHAPE AND HAVE YOUR OWN LIVES. I won't bs them like they bs the dudes. Motivation people

As a gender, we're new to the objectifying men as sex objects thing. Give us time, we'll get better at it. Enough time, and we'll be as good as men are at objectifying women!

Satisfied?

Have we now become BW, crying about us not being represented on film?

Black men are considered PLENTY sexy, even in America.

Movies are the great equalizer for WM it's the place where they're the sexiest, wittiest, get all the ass, kill all the bad guys, and be a heavyweight champ.

You mean to tell me black sports and rap/music stars AREN'T considered sexy? All nationalities of women swoon over brothas in all fields. A lot of WW would crawl over a WM to get with a brotha, and not just fat ones, either. Even NASA engineer Degrasse Tyson is considered sexy by many, a super-smart BM with personality. Name me a sexy WM physicist, I'll wait.

Idris is entitled to his opinion but I think different.

One can't see IQ (which, incidentally, is not really a great measure of intelligence, but really only a measure of how well one does on the IQ test).

It's not a whole thread, but one of my first posts here was drooling over the very sexy and VERY smart Hill Harper:
