Sucks for you guys, but at least you're tall.Falcon wrote:Welcome to the forum!

My friends tell me I act too white and sometimes they forget I'm black sometimes. Girls don't even acknowledge me or they tease me. It's like I can't even get to the front door with them.
Everywhere that I'd go outside the US, people will literally not believe me, or act confused, when I tell them that it's difficult for me to date and get girls in the US. I'm also tall (6' 0") and athletic, and have been told that I'm good-looking too. I just got out of college, so I'd think we're about the same age as well.
Black Americans who don't fit "inside the box" go through pretty much the same experiences and frustrations as their Asian-American counterparts. I did not fit the stereotypes and expectations of a preppy AA college kid, and so could not fit into cliques enough to get long-term girlfriends, ever. Same with black Americans.
The tables will completely turn outside the US!
Try being a short guy. Granted, I have dated a good amount of women in the US, but if I do anything at all to show weakness or vulnerability, I'm done.
I'm even limited to which countries I can go to (I have to focus on the countries with short average heights...so places like Brazil are out).
While other countries are more open to other races, lack of height is universally despised.
