When I first put my profile online a few years ago, I found that I was attracting more black men than white, and the white men were what I call "sloppy" white men. I guess because I'm a plus-size woman, they figured I would want a plus-sized man which isn't necessarily true, especially a "sloppy," overweight man.
I was raised in an environment that was almost entirely white and my parents did not approve of me dating outside my race. So with that mindset most of my life, I didn't even think about looking for or being found by anyone other than WM. So it was with some surprise that I found I was getting twice as many hits from BM. Since I am now quite old enough to make dating decisions for myself

, I began responding to BM and I've never looked back.
I actually joined this site because someone posted a thread entitled "Why do white women like black men" (and which I can't find now), and I was curious to see what answers came in. I honestly can't figure out that answer for myself. I know it has nothing to do with a popular stereotype. But I can say that WM my age hold no attraction for me now (visually, anyway).
