are oder girls scared of black guys

i have noticed that older women are more reserved about black guys than their daughters....can you explain or i am just biased ?

I read that only 10% of black men date or marry women outside of their skin color. And that only a little more than one quarter of the women in this country who are older than 40 years old are comfortable/open to dating men 10+ years younger than them.

The statistics show that because you have two different, small populations of people the chances of them connecting are minimal.

I am curious to know if you live/work/socialise in a predominantly white area? It may be that the older women around you just haven't had their eyes opened to the beauty of dating black men!
It sounds as if your situation requires what I refer to as the 'slow boiler' approach! Try being friends first, before asking them on a date. If you show them what you have to offer in the terms of conversation and likeability, then skin colour won't matter.

I agree. It's a shame that people look at skin color anyway. But to break the walls down with anyone who may have the initial mindset, getting to know them first is the best way to help them become more open-minded.

statistically, the lower one is on the socio-economic scale, the more one is open to dating outside one's race. poor people date outside their race, rich people tend not to, all else being equal.

Well I'm not talking about "hookups" here but more along the lines of long term commitments and marriages. Just asserting there is a difference in perception by class. Of course, anecdotally we all certainly see something different, especially being in a border state as I am. But overall, it's true, and a bit more than a sweeping generalization. There are stats to back it up, I am just too lazy to search them out to link on here.

i personally have never had the chance to date a different race because when i was young it wasn't the done thing. but now i'm sure i will never get the chance not everyone is the same

I have to tell you I was terrified as a young girl dating outside my own socio-economic structure much less race. I really wouldn't have had the opportunity to date a black man where I lived but the fear of what that would mean to my family would have stopped me from doing it.

In college I went out with a few mexican guys, had an ongoing physical relationship with an asian guy who helped me with math but was still terrified of becoming involved with a black guy.

I've since overcome those fears but to be completely honest my experience with the black men I've gotten to know have validated to some degree the apprehension I felt as a teenager. I'm sure people are people but my experiences have been disproportionally negative (about 25% verses maybe 2-3% among other races). Just my .02
