Attitude

[steve]

This is a presentation about female attitudes in the black community, but it applies to a lot of other women also.
Of course, none of the fair damsels in this group display these attitudes, this is just informational about those we might run into out there in the wild.

Great quote from the comment section:

‘No one I've ever met told me "my Dream Woman is an assertive Boss Woman".’

“Women’s beauty standards are set by women.”

That only makes sense if you are trying to attract women.
Us guys see it as annoying/ high maintenance.

I will say that I am happy living in a place where the only black people I see are the types who made the trip to go see Yellowstone Park. Nice people IMHO.

As to what men think is beautiful I am at a loss to understand. I would not consider myself to be terribly feminine most days. I think more like some men than most women. I would think that I would be unattractive to men and some of them like me anyway.

Meaning to say that maybe these aggressive ghettopotamuses are attractive to some subgroup of men who like that kind of thing.

Yes, like the kind of men who like other men

I spend a surprising amount of time inside a shocking number of black households. It seems black women are usually very high quality but you do run into the other kind, of course thats true of all demographics. There’s a general coarsening of the whole culture.

I’m always surprised by how black women treat me versus how they tend to treat the black men in the household. Even upper middle class black women (I work in and around Atlanta and there is a robust black middle and upper class) will talk to my lower class, scruffy hillbilly self with far more deference and respect than they seem to pay their own men.

I’m sure there’s some racialized, southern stuff going on there though. It’s probably all a complex sociological stew of misconceptions and ingrained cultural conditioning.
