I grew up in the straight up and down hood and the only guy I dated from my town was/is a nerd. As in a math PhD from a top 5 university. What matters most is to develop your character and self confidence. Don't beat yourself up because you don't think Black women like you. There's probably some fly shorty who's also a nerd who's feeling you, but waiting on you to make the move. During the time I dated him, the star athlete and all the other pretty muthafuccas wanted me... Bad... But there was something about him, that just stood out. He was attractive, athletic, adventurous and fun. We used to chill hard. After he finished high school, and was on leave from the Army, he came back to my family's house looking for me, but I was long gone.
(I left home early- I got into college at 16).
Point is, if you have good character, confidence and a good attitude, you can attract a good woman.
