You would need to find one that has a high maintenance mother, then they would be used to it.
I am not high maintenance (white), and DHs mom is a farm girl. I am anything but, however not by any means high maintenance. i.e.: I shower every day, his mother did not believe in it.
ITA that most white men with money would not pay for the weaves or hair extensions or hair maintenance.
I don't think you know very many white men with money. They'll certainly pay for boob jobs, botox, gym membership and lipo, why not weaves or extensions?

You pulled up a two year old post for that comment?

They absolutely fascinate me--for reasons that I'll keep to myself.
But I keep reading that white men are averse to dating black women. How true is that?

I really hope you are not serious?

I agree. I find a lot of black women very attractive, but god help you if you want to date one. You had better be black or they are not going to even say hello.
Not true at all. I'm biracial and I've always had a preference for white men. I've been happily married to one for 17 years. Most of my black female friends have white husbands as well. I know plenty of black women (those from upper class backgrounds) who like white men. Even though we find black men like Edris Elba and Taye Diggs attractive. We wouldn't choose them over Henry Cavill or Michael Fassbender.

There are, as a whole, cultural differences in both groups.
Are you trying to speak oriental?

with the white guys i've met, its usually 0 to 60 in little time and i'm completely caught off guard once a move is made. again, it could be that i'm misreading signals but i'm always puzzled which can read as disinterest.
