If you know me, you know that I am very attracted to BOTH Black and White men. YES...despite the afro, I would date a WB (White boy). So when I am out and about, I check them out...just as much as a Black man. The difference between the two is that White men typically dont check me out, at least not the ones I like (we will get to my type in a few). I stopped straightening (relaxing) my hair in 2004 and since then, I cant pay a WB (that I like) to even look my way. I figured that since I look like afro-centric, Black Power, Black Nationalist (all stereotypes) that they 'are just not that into me'. It sucks, cause I do believe love/sex/attraction is blind. You like who you like...PERIOD.
Well, tonight, I had 2 WB encounters....yes TWO in one sitting...LOL. While hanging out with my friend at his job (a sports bar), I met a really cool guy named, Jesse. He is a journalist who hails from SoCal and thinks that Cali is real life and the East Coast is not real...LOL....so much for this blog, right?! As we were talking, I started kinda checkin him out...not bad. Then I started to place stereotypes on him...like he is into bohemian, White chicks and that he is probably a really serious brainy type. Jesse then departed and headed to his movie...I gave him my card, because he wants to read this blog....hehehe.
Then I met Scott. He was not my type, but seemed cool. We began to chat and somehow we got on the subject of tattoos. He share that he was at a tattoo convention...I was like HUH? lol....now Scott looks like a conservative guy from the Midwest. I told him that I completely stereotyped him and could never picture him at a tattoo convention. Then he said then I bet you cant guess what school I go to...I immediate said, you must go to my school, Howard and he said YEP. LOL...hilarious!!! I never saw that coming...heck I never saw him at a tattoo convention, but he was there with his fiance who was getting a tatt coverd. Nonetheless, I prejudged and stereotyped him totally!
So now we can discuss my 'type' of WB. I like 'all-American', Abercrombie kinda guy. I dont want an 'Eminem' WB....if so, I can just date a Black guy. I like WB's who love 70's & 80's rock music, tell corny jokes, and likes to golf...LOL. My taste in WB's is wayyy different that my taste in Black men...dunno why it just is. Once I saw that Jesse was kinda smart, kinda cute, and interesting, I was like....ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, cause my fro, dark skin, full-figure, and strong personality and the fact that I am not from a middle class family is definitely not his type.
I find myself going through this with both Black and White men, but I just so happened to have met 2 really cool WB's tonight...one of which I wouldnt mind calling me....hehehehe. Til next time...BE EASY!
