See that's a dangerous statement- you get into all those good skin/bad skin good hair/bad hair debates.
On topic: I date interacially, not on a regular or exclusive basis. I just date who I like, and often that is not black men, simply because at school and on the job I meet less of them than hispanic and white men. Also I am waaaaay different from a lot of the black men with whom I come in contact (fraternity men excluded- they often have similar experiences). I am from the BX but my mentality, language and style is if not preppy, then strongly leaning in that direction. My comfort level is higher around someone who talks like me and is familiar with my interests. Unfortunately, that is often not the case with brothas.
But to be realllllly honest, on some level I think there is an appeal to the "other". For me growing up around black men (sorta), white men ARE the other and that gets my attention sometimes. Ultimately it comes down to the personality and how we interact.
