I don't have direct experience so, in a way, that reply of mine above was dealing...in stereotypes. If black men are nowhere near as successful as white men in capturing the more desirable segment of female population (young, Caucasian, hot, unmarried, etc.), then what it the collective moaning all about?HouseMD wrote: ↑January 15th, 2023, 5:21 amThe stereotypes are far from true. If you look at actual dating profile match rates, white men are consistently at the top, with black men far behind and Asian men behind them. Asian women are consistently above white women, with black women being far behind both groups. Most white women I know would only consider a black man if he was basically white in mannerisms and accomplished in career- standards that they wouldn't hold for white men, and which are racist in that subconscious kind of way. The only group that consistently prefers black men is black women, but even black men rate black women the lowest.
Black men that are American can leverage their social status as American by going to Africa, where the women still prefer black men but still have traditional values, a place where they will automatically be at the top of the pecking order by virtue of their passport.
The only direct experience I had while in the UK, to be honest, did point to not only black, but even brown (Indian, middle eastern) men being preferred to pasty white Brit men. Hell I had a friend, an IT recruiter, who hailed from Ilocos Philippines, where people are usually dark toned. The guy wouldn't have been considered average or even below average. In the UK, he was scoring blonde blue-eyed Brit girl after blonde blue-eyed Brit girl. I met 2 of his girls and both were top material.
So...again, it might not be a stereotype but it is true that certain demographics have a slight, if unexpiicable, advantage compared to white men.
