Uhh, notorious philanderer. |

Which is exactly why I have to hand it to white men they've managed to do all kinds of despicable shit and still maintain a positive magnetic image that has women of every ethnicity enthralled with them while non-whites are marginalized, criminalized, and demonized for similar behavior. Gotta give credit where credit is due. |
White men (at least Americans) are perceived as more egalitarian and respectful of women. Black men are seen as macho and old-fashioned when it comes to gender roles. Some women like the former, some prefer the latter. |

I don't agree that white men have such a positive image. Any history book that was written since around the 1970s is basically a catalog of How YT Effed Everything Up. Old White Males are probably the most hated demographic in the world and are used as the scapegoat for basically all modern social ills by various groups and world leaders.

Well like Andre Agassi used to say in those 80's Canon commercials, "Image is everything." |
Maybe so, but white men are still more beloved and sought after by women worldwide than anyone else. Can't knock the hustle. |
White woman here. I had no idea that some white women hated seeing women of color date white men. I do think a lot of white guys have an Asian fetish which creeps me out and makes me glad I'm not an Asian woman dealing with that but generally I don't care who a white guy dates. |
Sought after, maybe. Beloved? I don't know. Money talks. That's the "secret." White guys are "sought after" because of the perception that they have money and "privilege." If Filipino men had a reputation for being rich and powerful and controlling the world, then women would be after Filipinos. When white males stop having money and power we'll see how beloved and sought after we are. |
Yup, that's it. In the U.S. because of history, institutions, laws, policy and a host of other bullshit, white men are and have been privileged. If and when things change, you will see more diversity in many areas, more eligible gentlemen of all hues, and the corresponding ratio of assholes in all stripes. So, all women be forewarned... |
Good thing people date individual human beings with unique individual characteristics, instead of dating an abstract notion like skin color |

NP here: Latina married to a white man. A Southern white man at that.
Never expected to be - I dated and had LTRs with foreign men and Latinos and blacks. I really kind of avoided white men as a rule, as I harbored negative stereotypes based on my unfortunate experiences (including, indeed, being fetishized by white men because of my Latino background). Life is funny that way, I guess. |
I don't think beloved is a stretch. There was a thread in the Entertainment and Pop Culture Forum not to long ago where ladies were naming their crushes from the Silver Screen. There were mentions of Marlon Brando, James Dean, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Gene Kelly, and Paul Newman...the list went on and on without a single mention of anyone non-white and you know why, because discrimination excluded non-whites as leading men in Hollywood and thus the prototype of the perfect male was established which had one primary prerequisite --- he was white. Women across the country and around the globe swooned the hunks on screen while subliminal media persuasion and propaganda planted in their minds the standard for success and attractiveness in a man and it remains the standard to this day. |
Glad to see you overcame your racist anti-white upbringing, unlike so many other anti-white racists posting here who are too stupid and racist to realize it. |
Typical ww underhanded comment. You just proved pp's point. |
