Black women really are some damaged goods. White women love to compliment you and touch your hair too –but do you honestly think they want to wears theirs like that? No, cuz white men don’t want that. I’m sorry so many of you are so steeped in low self-esteem and hate black men so much. It’s sad really. And funny:)

I know I’m kind of late to reply, haha. In fact the only reason I found this was because I typed “white guys with natural black hair and blue eyes” to find a picture for a report I’m writing about Irish people.

Anyways, I’m only 14 and I have never relaxed my hair, I usually kept my hair in a pony tail until a month ago when I decided to wear it down. When it is down it goes down to the top of my shoulders. I’ve straightened my hair before and it goes a few inches down my back(I got a few compliments) but when I wore my hair down (my hair is naturally curly) I got like 4-5 compliments a day for the first 3 weeks. I get some every now and then, also. The funny thing is that they were compliments from people of all racial backgrounds and since I like guys of all racial backgrounds I kind of liked it, lol.

Also of pictures I’ve seen of interracial couples, the black girl/white guy pictures I see almost all the time the girl has her hair natural and I’ve asked myself this question a few times but shrugged it off thinking it was just coincidental. I guess it doesn’t matter if you perm/straighten your hair or keep it natural. I like my hair natural and I guess so do others :)

I’m white and have dated black women for five years. I’ve always been attracted to the natural hair that many black women have. For those who say it’s a “fetish” (for white men to be attracted to black women’s hair), and think that it’s a “slave fetish,” let me ask you this: is it a “fetish” for a black man to be attracted to a white woman’s blue eyes (or for black women to be attracted to white men’s)? No one would say that. Natural hair is beautiful. It’s soft, frizzy & curly. I used to think that other white’s would be attracted to permed/chemically straightened black hair (cause most white women have straighter hair). I was surprised to learn that MOST white men, in GENERAL are attracted to natural hair. There is something within us that is attracted to it. Maybe it’s just different to us? Unfamiliarity can breed “exoticism.” I dunno. Then again, white women seem to think it’s pretty too (or so my black gf says).

I will say that I’m not attracted to afros (especially when they are like a big circle), but I don’t like big hair in general (I remember “mall hair” that white chicks sported in the 80’s…yuck!). Poofy blow outs, microbraids, pressed, dreds, twist outs, etc. arw all attractice to me . It also adds to the thrill of kissing a nice set of soft chocolate lips :). God gave you that curly hair for a reason. Trust me, You look great with it.

I think one of the reasons I was SO attracted to natural hair (as well), is that black girls (when I was a kid..in the early to mid 80’s) were STILL sporting the natural hair. I guess it was a holdover from the 70’s “blacK is beautiful” philosophy. I remember the black girls in my grade school coming to class with frizzy pig tails tied up with yarn. (Which was cute to my young eyes even then). It seems now in our “we all have to look perfect according to celebrity culture,” natural hair is considered “nappy” & unattractive to a lot of people. It’s just as bad with white culture (getting plastic surgery to change little “flaws” that they don’t like, and severely altering themselves so they don’t even look like themselves…a SIN). Asian girls getting their eye lids s rounded to look “European” (another sin). God forbid anyone have natural, unadulterated beauty.

Well, that’s my 2 cents (for what it’s worth). Just remeber ladies, that beauty IS beauty; be it black, white or otherwise. Men are attracted to beauty. We aren’t all necessarily chasing the “perfect white look” (aka heroin-skinny girls, blue eyes, blond hair etc). This goes for WHITE MEN as well. We also don’t judge black women based on Euro standards. I mean, if you’re not white, then we will (obviously) compare your looks to what is beautiful in your own group/race.

Either way, black women, just remember…you are beautiful as you are. You make our hearts race too..

As time goes on Black Women will see that White guys appreciate you more than Black guys period..Black Men ultimately are turning out to be the worst enemy that we can have because it seems they are only around to criticize, demean and belittle Black Women at every turn. Of course there are going to be Black men like ”joe” in here to do everything they can to stop Black Women from seeing what the Black Man really is and how much hatred they really have toward us as black Women. Black Men like ”joe” are trying with all their being not to let us see that White ..Latino and sometimes Asian Men are more supportive and loving than they can ever be. It is what it is and today’s Black Man fails when it comes to loving and appreciating Black Women and it’s time Black Women move on without them.

Who cares what white men like? Why are some black people caring or noticing if white people like our natural hair. I know i don’t give a damn. Nor do white men approach me. I live in Chicago, and I don’t get white men trying to talk to me because of my hair. Black men approach me, and it’s not because of my hair. My currently boyfriend and ex boyfriend liked me for me, and not because of my hair. They are both black men at that. Also don’t think that there are black men who don’t appreciate natural hair, a lot of them do, or a lot of them really don’t care whether your hair is natural or not, so stop thinking that they don’t….or move to another city.

My late husband who was white, loved my natural hair. My family, who are Southern,are typical hypocrites who love light skin and straight hair but don’t approve of how you get it(mixing with white), and they didn’t approve of my hair. I’ve always been the black sheep-no pun intended. Now I have dreads and black people have reacted more negatively than white. It’s because when you are black without apology it threatens those who are trying to live for the approval of white America. I also think it’s true that some people think that women with dreads are gay, that’s why I’m growing mine out longer and dressing more femininely.

I have naturally curly hair and my bf is blk/white and he doesn’t really like it when I wear my hair picked out or blown out. He prefers me to wear my hair straight or curly. It kind of annoys me but I don’t blow out my hair for him, I do it b/c sometimes I want really big diva hair. I get different reactions depending on the state of my natural hair:

1. FULL BLOWN FRO: I get more compliments from older people every race 40+ not that young people don’t compliment me but I just get it more from older people. I get described as unique and different. :)
2. NATURAL CURLY WASH N GO: young BW and mixed guys love it/ this is when I get the most “pretty hair” compliments and “what are you mixed with?”.
3. STRAIGHT: young BM tell me how beautiful I am when my hair is in this state
4. DOUBLE STAND TWIST: mostly BW of all ages and WM of all ages think it looks cool. I had a white guy w/ dreds tell me I need to let them lock. lol

I think younger BM are brainwashed 2 believe that
Afros= nappy and bad lol and
straight hair= good and pretty.
I don’t get angry w/ their ignorance.. how could I? MVideos, models and movie stars mostly have processed hair….

I personally don’t think whites appreciate natural hair more, I feel whites like it b/c its different and unique. So they become excited when they see it. My sister’s husband is white and he prefers her hair natural. He hates when she straightens it. So really it just depends….

1 more thing I really hate when people (every race except my bf) touch my hair w/o permission, I feel like a zoo exhibit. (It has happens all of time!!!!)

My current girlfriend is the only black woman I’ve ever known who lets me put my hands in her hair. Granted, she doesn’t like me to see it after she’s washed it and hasn’t “done it” yet but I love the tactile sensation of it! It’s not like anything I’ve ever known and can’t get enough. She is not comfortable with it but I love the way it feels BEFORE she “does it”.
I’m sure I’m not the only man of any color who appreciates such things.
