Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 16, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

If the white man in question were all about lighter-skinned women, he could just.... pair off with literally any other race if woman instead

This assumes he specifically wanted a black woman, or had no non-appearance based reasons for his decision. It also boils the differences down to ‘light skin’ when in reality there’s a raft of features in which literally any race of women is generally more attractive to men than negros- hair, for example.

Eh, tastes vary and, while distributions differ, there are attractive women of every race. Personally (anecdata doesn't count etc I know) I've met women with very Bantoid features, dark skin etc whom I was attracted to and thought beautiful. Certainly for me personally it's not an aesthetic malus, pragmatic considerations aside.

I'd think it likelier that the white man in question just likes black women, rather than making the best of things. Women are pretty good at sniffing out genuine interest, better than men, and I'd imagine the black women in question (given that she's described as "nerdy" AKA intelligent) could discern if the level of interest were up to standard or not

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, dunno
