Mmmkay, so real talk. And please don't hate me, I come in peace with a question that PLAGUES me.
Maybe it's just me, but why is it that so many hetero Alt-Black guys are not attracted to Alt-Black girls, at least initially, anyway?
I don't know about you, ladies but if I were to encounter a man like this in my daily travels:
Disclaimer: Picture for evalution purposes only. I am in no way implying that Kele Okereke doesn't like black women or even likes women at all. =-p. This is just a demonstration to help illustrate a point! Let's pretend for a second that he is not Kele and that he is just some random Alt Black
An primal mating alarm would go off within me and cause me to feel feelings of severe:
a) Kindred (but not in a creepy brotherly sisterly way or anything. Creepy!)
b) Immediate physical attraction
In other words, I would feel a little something like this:
Disclaimer 2: Nor am I actually a toddler....
But it seems to me that when I encounter these guys and when I'm with my group of best friends who are mainly white, these dudes are checking my friends out//courting them first. They will talk to me and we will have a lot in common, but at the end of the day it's my friends who they're pining for. WTF. Or, as my friend Mike told me, they're swooning for girls that look "Exotic", like Asians and Brazilians etc etc...
I would think this was just me if I hadn't heard otherwise from some of my other friends who have the same sort of issue. And these are gorgeous girls with a lot going on! I also fancy myself fairly intelligent and I haven't broken any mirrors with my looks lately so I just have to ask.
So discuss, prove me wrong, prove me right, or just plain tell me "Look, Michelle, this has been discussed before. This is a dumb post , girl!I hereby excommunicate you!"
