No city better exemplifies this article than New York. Me and my boys always joke it's a city full of 4's and 5's who think they are 9's and 10's. And only want 9's and 10's. Hilarious.
I noticed this too, but I always thought it was cultural.
Not to "bash" bw (just recounting my observations), but a bw could weigh 250 lbs, yet wants the guy with the nice build and actually get pissed off if her love is unrequited. (at least the ones from my generation)
And the ones with a half decent figure were flat-out haughtily conceited off the charts
The guy with the same things she has: a half-decent build, a piece of paper from the college, a job in cubicle hell, was barely worth looking at
Ww don't seem to be as conceited as that - at least the ones who date bm
Maybe it's exactly because they're dating across the line? There may be something to the idea that women who date across the line are a little less stringent about their "ideal" than the ones who stick to their own.
I notice that mainly about nonwhite women who hook up with white guys. My sis for example, who is borderline tall for a woman, always had a problem dating short guys. I remember her comments about the singer "shaggy" (mr bombastic-remember him?) when she saw him in real life: "That little short, blah blah blah...") In other words, a guy like him ain't no bombastic
Yet the dude she's with (a white guy) is significantly shorter than she is, by at least half a foot. I doubt if she would've settled with a black guy that short
Similarly, asian women are notorious for "dating down" when it comes to white guys
And further, there are pics on this very board of really attractive ww ending up w dudes who look like shrek except they're black rather than green
... So maybe the "hold the guy to higher standards" syndrome only applies to guys of their own cultures?
just anecdotal evidence and observations tho. Don't ask me for statistical data :mrgreen:
...and it prolly goes both ways. I remember reading an asian chick recount why she dates white guys. She said among white guys she's an "8", but among asian guys she's a "4"
Then there's the example of black guys going for the fat white girl, though that stereotype is kinda old and dying out, without real life examples to point to
Anyway, just thinking out loud
