Special shoutout to Holly Robinson Peete in the 90s
There is a level of demure, natural, and in shape that is long gone since the 90s that is honestly depressing as a man who keeps himself fit. Its problematic that when I was single and on the market, the proportion of fit, natural sistas in my age range were non-existent for me but if I caught them in their early 20s, they were available. Obviously your circle and social strata matters, but it annoyed me to no end, especially when a lot of the women I liked who liked the stuff I liked...also liked white men
Before anyone comes at me with that bullshyt, I have known more since who date black men exclusively, but it was a trend for a 5 year period where if she was fit, somewhat nerdy, and modest/homely to a degree, a white man was behind the curtain.
