You're from Houston, I presume. The South is a good place to meet nice grounded black women. I have favorable experiences from my time in Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta and Virginia (Petersburg area). I really loved Atlanta.
I'm from the East Coast. I had solid relationships with women in my youth. I just wasn't the flashy type like the other nikkas i grew up with. I remember I used to run with 5 dudes hard. They all pulled way more than me. I guessed you can say one was the pretty boy, one was the hood nikka/complete dog, one was the funny life of the party nikka, one was the intellectual smooth type, and I was the average joe (lame in black women's eyes). I remember there being several chicks I was interested in but, they went for one of the other four. It was whatever. Years later, four or five of those girls we knew from our younger days boomeranged back and was trying to see how I was doing.....because I wasn't the kinda dude you have casual sex with......that was reserved for my more exciting homies......I'm the kinda dude you marry at 25 when you have 2 kids....I'm the kinda dude you want when you're 28 and realize you need to settle down.....and I wasn't having none of that shyt
