Thick Girls Need Love Too...

Recently a lady friend of mine posed an interesting question to me: “Why is it that black guys like thicker girls, and white men don’t”. I didn’t have much of a reply to her query and we went on about the conversation. Then another lady friend of mine made a statement from a discussion she had with someone else: “Thicker white girls like black guys because white men don’t want them; and they know black men will. What do you think”? That was a bold statement of her colleague to make and even tougher for me to answer back with an opinion. And like last time I went on about the conversation in another direction.

But recent events with third friend of mine (not a romantic event) me thinking this. Is it white females adapting to what they know will work, or is it personal preference by black me like many racially-based questions, it’s not easy for me come up with something; but per usual I’ll try. I cannot and will not speak on behalf of male America, Black America or Black male America. But what I will do is speak on behalf of me America; the only one that counts after-all.

In my time I’ve dated/had relations with a few types of ladies. My personal preferences vary by situation, but as far as a sexual attraction, I like a little meat on the bones. Mainly in the chest and ass. A female with a nice set and a round bum is a beautiful thing to me. I don’t know if it has anything to do with my cultural upbringing, but that’s just me.

I can’t at all speak on behalf of white male America, but I’ll offer up an observation. In my days I’ve noticed that most white guys enjoy a slender broad. Hell, I enjoy a slender woman, but they typically do not hold the thicker women in as high regard. In my observation of Black male America I notice a regard for both. So what does this all mean? Not a damn thing in the grand scheme of things. Slender ‘hot’ chicks are going to get someone, ‘thick’ girls are going to get someone too. Now anyone can find their match, if they are willing to try. Find a hobby, join a club or group, it’s easier to find a mate if you have a common interest.

Men and women justify their racial preferences (or lack thereof) in a number of ways and reasons. For those seeking someone in today’s world of dating services, websites, clubs, groups, etc. it’s easier to narrow your preference and stick to it. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, but people like what they like, and really that’s all there is to it. I hope that cleared things up a bit for my friend whom posed the statement and asked my opinion on it.
