Another frustrated American Black Male chimes in...
Posted: June 14th, 2013, 11:03 pm
Long time reader, first time poster. Thank you Mr. Winston Wu for your inspiration. Here's my story...
I'm a Black American male and I can surely identify with the poster Mr. Darcy's plight.
I'm 35 years old, 6'5" tall, handsome, athletic, and intellectual, however I still suffer from the same issues. For those of you who think I get approached a lot because of my looks and height, think again. It's rare that I'm approached by women, although I do get the occasional glance when I go out to bars or whatever. Most of the time, women actively avoid eye contact with me. I'm not afraid to approach women at all - if I get a signal, I approach, however I find that in America women actively avoid contact with men they don't know. You go out to social venues, and nobody's social, especially the women. Everyone pretty much keeps to themselves and the women seem dead set against talking to men.
The sense of loneliness I feel is crushing because as Winston Wu has stated, if you don't have much of a social circle in America, it's very difficult to meet women. The women here in the Chicago area seem paranoid and anti-social. Many of them don't even want to LOOK at you. Frankly, I'm at my wit's end and highly frustrated, bitter, and angry with women here, because I feel like I'm not getting a fair shake. I'm not saying that EVERY woman should be into me - that's ridiculous and childish. However, I do feel like I should be having more success than I do. I just don't VIBE with many of these women. It's almost painful trying to interact with many of them - and trust me, I'm not a social retard by any means. The phony social mask that many American white women wear is such a turnoff and you can see right through it. I can often tell when an American white women is not used to dealing with people of color.
I'm attracted to lighter complected women, but as you all know, most American White women are not trying to date a Black man. For this reason, I'm quite wary of pursuing American white women either because 1) they're simply not attracted to Black men or have feelings of superiority, 2) they ARE attracted to Black men but because of the social consequences, they stay clear or try to keep the relationship on the low. I can somewhat understand Number 2, but it's still insulting.
I'm not the stereotypical American black male. I'm not tooting my own horn, but I have a degree in electronics, never been locked up, no children, keep myself in shape, love to read, and into intellectual pursuits. Most American Black women aren't feeling me because I'm not what they're used to, and other races of women won't date me for aforementioned reasons. I'm stuck between a rock and hard place and I feel like I'm going nowhere. I'm unhappy because I feel like I'm unwanted and I often question my own attractiveness. I'm not expecting pity, but I'm really frustrated. I can truly understand why so many American men have such anger and bitterness towards women.
I used to be down with the PUA movement years ago but eventually left it alone because to me PUA tactics are just coping mechanisms to deal with the crappy behavior of American women.
In a month or two, I'm going to be traveling to Rio de Janiero for the first time. I'm currently learning Portuguese and I'm coming along. I've never in my life been outside of North America and this is it. I'm nervous about it, but f**k it! I can't let fear hold me back from a life I KNOW I deserve. I'm not going down there just to bang a bunch of chicks or buy cheap prostitutes, but just to get a taste of how differently the women treat men down there. I'm highly curious and can't wait to get the f**k out of this PRISON MATRIX called America. I'm f***ing DONE with these over-inflated, self-entitled American women.
That is all. Thank you for reading.
