This thread and indeed the website seems to me to be about white women and black men. The very wording of this would make us seem to focus on the BM vs. the WM or another race. Therefore I think we all are trying to say what it is we like in a BM. I find that attraction came first, because of chemistry perhaps, personality, etc. and then because I am attracted to him I began to like, and learn, all that he is as I fell deeper and deeper in love. I may love things about him that many women may find rather unattractive.
Example: (My daughter fell in love with a thin Mexican with crooked and very large teeth. I don't think that attracted her to him. He is a wonderful man, however, now she loves his crooked teeth, and says they bring character to his face. They have a great marriage.) I still think he is rather unattractive, but I appreciate all the good in him, and they do have beautiful children.
So, I tell you what I love about one particular black man, and his traits are common to many, but I have to say that I definitely do not find ALL black men attractive, some are jerks, and don't know how to respect a lady, and no amount of good looks will ever overcome that.
Is short, as I tell my sons, I think women are attracted more by the way a man treats her than by his looks. Looks may initially attract her but will never keep her.
So to all you wonderful black men out there, even if you think you are "ugly", treat the lady right and you will win her heart. Be persistent, and patient, be a gentleman, be kind, be her best friend. You will win in the end!
