While I am still single, my "status" is rather ideal that IMHO I should be getting my pick of a woman. I am a seasoned professional in my career, homeowner, make a decent salary, God-worshiping, and TCBing.
Question: is it me or does it seem that foreign (read: African and Caribbean) women tend to gravitate toward me for friendships and relationships b/c their standards in a man isn't as stringent as an American woman's? No, for real. I have been dating Kenyans, Jamaicans, Bermudans, Malawians, Eritreans/Ethiopians and they all like my "plain" persona as a Black man.
It seems to me that while I prefer Black American women, I probably won't get one b/c in my experience, too many of them are too quick to put me in the "friend" zone b/c I don't meet their criteria of what they want in a man (yes, I am short--5' 6"). Whereas foreign women see me for who I am and accept it.
To make a long story short, do you really want a man, or do you want a living breathing fantasy?
PS: I may have to edit this b/c I asked 5 questions @ once. That's what happens when you are rambling...
