Question from reader

by Eathan

Hello Eathan, I just came across your site.? I am a mid 30′s black male who has become more and more interested with the idea of dating white women exclusively.? Here’s the problem…I can attract black or hispanic women without effort…when it comes to white women I don’t seem to get any signs of interest or attraction. I’m intelligent, articulate and professional. When I’m out I dress trendy (labels etc.).? I generally don’t go out?to specific places to meet white women….when I do go out though the majority of the people just happen to be white.

I generally go to middle of the road bars and clubs….nicer restaurants….social events and outings with my office (I’m a real estate agent) etc.?I’m 36, but I generally find women between 25 and 30 more to my type (I prefer younger with no kids)….I look and act younger than my age….many people think I’m 28 or so. I have 2 daughters and I live in Connecticut.? I feel that I project a confident, clean cut image yet I can’t seem to get more than simple conversation from white women. I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing (or not doing) unknowingly or if the whole “black guy” thing is stopping them. Which I’m starting to doubt based on reading your posts. Are there any tips, suggestions or nuggets of wisdom you can offer that will help me.

 Question from readerMr P.? I’m glad you found my site.? Dating outside of your race can be a challenging thing to attempt to do for the first time.? I say that because your approach and style may need some adjustment.? Personally, i’ve never been to Connecticut.? But there are several things that you can try.? The first thing I would suggest is to sign up for a membership for match.com or chemistry.com.? That way you can advertise that you are available to date white women.? Be bold and daring.? Send emails and winks to women that you find attractive.? Make sure you have something in common with them.? Make sure that you post several pictures of yourself.? I recommend that you post clear pictures of your face, that always helps.? You can also view who has viewed your profile.? Those are the women who would like to hear from you.? Something else along this same thought, get a myspace or facebook page.? This is a great way to network with potential dates.? It lets them see inside your life.? Make sure you add me to your myspace also, that’s ?a automatic conversation starter.

The next thing I would suggest is to give yourself social presence at some of your favorite places.? The best way to do this is to make friends with other people that visit there also.? That gives you some type of social credibility.? One of the most important thing you can do is to have a ‘white’ friend.? It doesn’t matter if it is male or female it’s just someone who will make it easier for strangers to be social.? It’s called wingman or wingwoman.? I have a lot of female friends that hang out with me.? And whenever they are around there is usually a group of new women that soon follow.? And nothing says you’re a great guy like a woman who introduces you to another woman.

Last but not least, develop a way to encourage a woman to call you.? Since you’re in RE (real estate) use your business cards to your benefit.? Give them a card and let them know they can give you a call you even if it’s just for drinks.? I can’t tell you how many woman I’ve met by using a business card.? You can’t ask for?it all?in the 1st conversation, but you can leave them wanting to know more.?

I could’ve listed more things, but I just wanted to touch on a few.? I hope these simple suggestions help you in your goal.?

  • @moody.bitch That's for my advance lessons. I can't give those tips to a novice..haha
  • Eathan, why have you not yet advised Mr P that when he sees a white woman he's interested in, he should check to see if she's wearing an ankle bracelet? :p
  • That would a great party lance... Just make sure I bring my own date... I'm not going on dates with any other bloggers :( j/k
  • The first one of us to break it big as a blogger should organize a big party in Vegas...we'll invite all of our blogger friends and just have a huge blowout.
  • Mr. P
    @ Teacia...Ok you win, those tanned blondes are a sight to behold.....lol.

    @ Lance...sounds like a plan, beat'em at their own game...lol.

    @ Eathan....will do.
  • @Lance.. haha yeah white guys have been doing it for ages...haha

    I might have to come hang out with you.. you seem like my evil twin ;)
  • I was about to type up my theory/advice on how to date interracially, or at least stack the deck in your favor, when Eathan nailed it in his 2nd paragraph. Social proofing yourself at venues and pre-selecting with white friends is absolutely THE BEST WAY to accomplish this.

    The basic psychology is if a white chick sees a black dude hanging with other attractive white people, he MUST be cool, and therefore attraction follows naturally.

    This is the same principle that gets white guys laid with white gals, BTW.

    Nice, I guess we have been doing the same things. Play on, playa!

    Lances last blog post..When is Enough, Enough?
  • Teacia
    Oh how I hate the product of my environment speech...lol, if you're a product of your environment then you should feel comfortable around them to where it's not a big deal. Maybe you're a little too "black" for their tastes, since all you have dated is black/hispanic women...maybe your demeanor is all wrong...I'm not white so I can definitely not speculate.

    This really is a phenomenon...not dating interracially but the whole exclusion of your race to date outside of it is. I agree with Rena though who actually had me laughing as well, white women are no less human than we are. You approach them in the same manner that you approach your own...well shit not anymore. Dammit, I better snag me up a brotha now before they're all gone.

    Anywhooo, good luck on your quest *sighing*...hopefully you'll find love...blah, blah, blah.
  • @ Teacia you knew eventually it would happen...LOL :-)

    @Rena nicely said...

    @ Mr P. Keep me updated on how things go for you.
  • Mr. P
    @ Rena....All of my life I've dated black or spanish women, so I've been there and done that. I don't look at white women as a "food group" or some kind of trophy to attain. At this point in my life and career I've become increasingly surrounded by middle and upper middle class white women.

    It's similar to what Eathan has said in a previous post...I'm becoming a product of my environment. I've always found white women attractive as well as other races, but what I've found is that the white women that I've been encountering not only have similiar goals, ambitions and values but do not have that same protective "edge" that is so prominent in the black and spanish community.

    Lastly, Eathans response points out several things that I have not incorporated into my repertoire.

    1. Going out specifically to build up "social credibility".

    2. Online dating sites.

    3. Offering further contact. (this one is kind of difficult for me because I've never had to do this with black or spanish women, I understand the reasoning behind it though in relation to my issue)

    In essence, I have to put forth some initial effort. Thanks Eathan and everyone else for your responses.

    Sorry, I was too busy laughing at Teacia's comment. Lol...okay, seriously. I'm a white woman (geez, I hate that term). In any event, in this forum I'm a "white" woman. I don't mean to poke fun at the original question, but good lord, it's like we're talking about aliens or something. As if "ooooh, how do I date that kind of human?" It really takes away from the person and places them into a certain category and you should never seek dates that fall into a "category". It's not a food group...it's a person that you're interested in getting to know and develop a friendship with. I couldn't imagine a friendship or relationship more shallow than one build on looks. Not at all insinuating that you're shallow, but are you interested in dating a woman who's white because she's white or because you find yourself attracted to white women? Don't get me wrong, I find black men attractive, but I don't seek out black men simply because they're black. I seek out men of the human race who are intelligent, considerate, have integrity, loyal, loving, good parents (if applies), etc. Some have happened to "be" African American but it wasn't a mission to only meet African American. I'm open to finding love and that could lead me anywhere and with anyone. Is it curiosity of being with a "white" woman (ahh, I hate that term), or is it that you're "only" attracted to them? I'm not clear about the desire I guess.
  • Rena
    @ Teacia....LMAO!!! That's too funny.
  • deb
    From the point of view of a non black woman who recently dated a black man for the first time (and had previously never even given thought to doing so)... all he had to do was to approach me in a friendly, casual manner while being confident and bold. i'm pretty sure I didn't show immediate interest because it was new to me, but wasn't completely put off at the same time. He wasn't discouraged and maintained interest in me, which then allowed me time to feel comfortable and open up. Trust me, you've most likely got it.. you just have to be self assured and it'll intrigue the woman of a different race. don't come on too strong and don't be overbearing. tell them about yourself, ask them to talk about themselves and show interest. if she doesn't show interest right away, don't give up so soon. she'll come around :)
  • Teacia
    Oh lawd he has a following...and another black man bites the dust...damn blogsites.
