QUESTION:
Why do African-American men date fat white women?
ANSWER:
This is an easy question to answer, but I’d like for you to think about something first— Why are you calling Black Americans “African American” assuming that you’re referring to the typical black male in the U.S. that hasn’t had any tie of any sort to the African continent in over 200 years? Do you refer to White Americans as “English Americans”, or “Scottish Americans” if they haven’t had anything to do with England or Scotland over the last 300 years? .. or do you consider them just “White”? Food for thought…
If you’re not going to do the same ridiculous thing to White people, then please stop tacking on the “African” part when most Black Americans haven’t had, don’t have, and won’t ever have anything to do with the entire continent of Africa.
Your question; I want you to pay close attention… (warm smile).
Most Black men date fat White women for the same reasons **most** white men in the U.S. date and marry fat white women; because that’s what’s most prevalent in the U.S.— “fat” women.
Most professional (meaning your profession required you to obtain a professional degree and pass professional board(s); e.g. law, medicine, pharmacology, etc.. ((not graduate school programs)) men and or men who earn in the top 10% in their respective state, do not in fact, date fat women irrespective of their skin color.
Before buying into stereotypes, you have to consider whether or not your socioeconomic status plays a part in what part of society you see or interact with. For example, most people in the U.S. aren’t going to ever interact with a really handsome Black male surgeon married to a very attractive thin White female research geneticist who owns her own firm. Why? Because they probably don’t do what you do in their spare time, live where you live, shop where you shop, buy the things that you buy, or associate with the same people you do.. If they live in Belvedere, California and their interracial friends live in Mill Valley, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Santa Monica (Palisades)… etc.. when would you see them?
Geography and socioeconomic standing plays a role: I reside in several states. Down south I see the most fat and obesity once I get out of my immediate community. In the Bay Area (California) It’s just the opposite, people are more fit and health conscious. There are multiple interracial couples (black/white; white/asian; indian/white, black/asian.. in my community, but all are very thin/fit. In Indiana, however, I can drive into town and I’ve never seen so many obese females inked with what looks like $5 tattoos all over their body performed by a 10 year old.. How Phenotypes relate to interracial couples is a mixture of culture, geography and socioeconomic standing as to what you will or will not generally see.
Do the fatty math? Most black men are with black women. Most black women are fat. Most black men are with fat black women…. but all the sudden it’s odd and requiring an explanation when a black man is with a fat white woman? Hmmm… ok, think about this: Most white men are with white women. Most white women in the U.S. are fat. Most white men are with fat white women…. but you’re not likely to see youtube videos, Quora questions, and posts related to “Reasons/Why white men date fat white women…” right? Why not?
Biology (think physical wants) and sociology (what makes fiscal sense in this context): Who you want to marry and the body size you find most sexually attractive aren’t always found in the same person. There’s a basic reason why you’ll find men with a thin, attractive wife having affairs with “average size” (in the U.S. that means overweight or close to being overweight) average looking women. Likewise, there’s a basic reason why you find successful women married to handsome fit men, having affairs with men whom she’d never think of seriously dating…. I’ll let you research that one on your own. Who knows, you might some day write a peer reviewed thesis on the subject that blows us all away!
