Black woman says that’s wearing long straight hair is the only way to attract sophisticated black men

[Rekkapryde]

I don't like weaves or wigs.

In fact, I find them unattractive

If you got long braids because of extensions cool but that's the only scenario I like it in AND only if I can pull your hair while in doggy.

Otherwise no, I like natty styles.

this.

Braids or a short Halle typre cut

I am in no way of disrespecting black women as a whole, but some of them are delusional and needs to be called out on the bullshyt.

Thank you for this. It isn’t that anyone calls out women’s delusional bullshyt. It’s that, posters on here attribute it to an all women thing. I guess we all have chips in our brains that activate for us to all act the same way. Because every single woman, in the history of the world, thinks the same way, and does the same way. Also, they negate the fact that men do the same things that they accuse women of. There are a lot of delusional men out there as well.

All these things are part of image so there probably is some kind of correlation. It goes both ways too though. I think I talked about how different people treat me based on my hair, especially women of different races. I do think that, with women, the difference is that they often factor their weight into what sort of hairstyle they will wear, especially if they are trying to make their faces appear slimmer and all that. That goes with confidence and so on, which is why I feel like her comments on hair styles solely may be off. The question would be, what was her weight or intended look with each hairstyle and so on.

Are you kidding me right now?

Men too . But we're talking about women right now

Bird babble. Like men with money are all of a sudden going to stop liking thick women

Most men don't even care all that much about one hairstyle vs another.

Come on breh, I actually like you. Please, please don’t use behaviors that are inherent in human beings, as a gender thing.

Both genders have aspects of the other that lay within each of them, but still there will be behaviors predominant for each of them.

Indirect communication is one of those things for women.

She's right. Now that I make a lot of money, thin women are more attractive to me. I never even thought about this.

I forgot where I read it, but some study (probably bs) says men are more attracted to thicker women during hard times, skinny women during prosperous times.

Sounds like she been stupid a long time. Every option available to her and still couldn't keep a man

Will all due respect, do you go or even have access to the type of people who go to philanthropic or political fundraisers for you to be so sure of the hairstyles of the black women there?

Do you even have a post undergrad degree or run in those circles?

If not, Where are you basing your idea that the women there don’t wear box braids?

I do.


Jumbo box braids was the example used because I was clearly being hyperbolic.


The point is as a brown skinned black woman I most definitely understand how it feels to be treated differently based on hairstyle.

It starts from junior high when some girls come to school with relaxers or pressed hair while others are still wearing plaits, cornrows, individuals or natural styles. In continues in high school when young men start choosing and, oddly enough, a loooooooot of young black men are drawn to the girls who are mixed, black with looser textures, or the young ladies who have already conformed to the western beauty standards that their own owns conformed to to “fit in” when finding employment in corporate America: pressed/relaxed hair and maybe some “tracks added for volume”.

Trust me. I’m grown and fully leaned into wearing my hair natural pre-pandemic and rocking braids and Senegalese twists during and post pandemic and my mother hates the sight of it because she never walked into any accounting firm during her career with natural hair because of how white folks treated black women who did.

My aunts in healthcare admin, HR, etc maintained relaxed/pressed hair for decades for the same reason. The only aunt rocking natural styles in the workplace before everyone else? The nurse in NYC who decided not to climb the corporate ladder like her siblings.

Things are changing NOW, but until you are a black woman who has had HBCU educated brehs in your fukking face telling that they are ok with relaxers when a girl’s hair is “too kinky” don’t say shyt.

The women before us had to deal with older brehs who wanted the “LS” - light skin, long hair girls. The “girls you can take swimming”.




Don’t attempt to gaslight women who actually live with these experiences.

Niccas acting like I’m making shyt up
None of these “brehs” posting “dimes” with some obvious 4c hair. Except for that 1 thread for dark skin women. Aside from that all these random ass threads they make everyday?

GTFOH


Blaxk women know the exact “look” we need when you want a greater chance of attracting a certain caliber of man.

Shyt. Negros in my fam don’t date/marry nothing but black women but one ONE got with a dark skinned natural woman for his FIRST marriage. Rest of them ain’t swing around until after they got divorced from the light skinned wives who gave them hell

Wealth and status trickles up to whiteness. The closer you are to the white standard the more "in proximity" to wealth and status you will be. This has always been the case in America.
