In the black and hispanic popluation , the women are not that concerned with weight. Why is that?


-- Posted by ang42490424 at 9:20 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Because we believe a man should accept us how we are


-- Posted by Clara Bell at 9:20 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Because they make delicious fattening foods.


-- Posted by OhSoDisastrous at 9:20 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

That's not necessarily true


-- Posted by nigeltheoutlaw at 9:20 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Because they don't have everybody telling them to starve themselves? That's probably it.


-- Posted by casperzsweet666 at 9:20 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Maybe they're more confident in who they are. Americans usually aren't, but that's just me.


-- Posted by IndecisiveBitch at 9:20 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Because they realize that being a fucking twig is unattractive.


-- Posted by KweenZ at 9:21 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Cause girls want to look like what their guys want. Black and hispanic girls are seen as more attractive when they are 'thick' -- with some meat on their bones, White girls are seen as more attractive when their skinny..

Personally i think the best looking girls are the healthy looking ones... NOT skinny. I.E. Lindsay lohan looked much better before the weight loss


-- Posted by SgtPatches at 9:21 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

because no one is thin from fried chicken and enchiladas.


-- Posted by revived5656 at 9:21 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

um because they r dark as the night wear hair extentions and smell like doo doo???


-- Posted by The Artful Dodger at 9:23 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

That's not true. Maybe less self conscious about weight than most white women, but not completely carefree. And then there are exceptions; black girls who are total basket-cases about staying thin. I could easily ask about white women being so obsessed with weight. But I'm not like you. In short, the answer is differences just culture/society.

Wow. Fuck off. Seriously.


-- Posted by hazeleyedangel at 9:27 pm on Aug. 5, 2008

Even with the celebrities, its acceptable for black and hispanic women to be larger. It's just social acceptance of it. People are not accustomed to seeing larger white women on screen and seen as beautiful and confident. It's sad, but that's just the way it goes.

Dude I'm getting tired of reading this....and I hope the black women on this site don't eat their asses fat because somebody who probably isn't even attracted to overweight women says most guys are. None of it's true..sure having some meat on your bones is a GREAT thing, and trust me I get a lot of lectures about it seeing as I'm thin...but puffy arms and saggy thighs isn't mandatory to not be considered a "twig". Men want weight on women just as much as women want weight on men, but there is a limit. Lifting weights and having a good daily cardio exercise will leave you looking fit and feminine. Stop believing this horse shit before I have to pull the statistics of black men with women outside of their race.

Put it like this. A black man would rather date a woman with the shape of a black woman, than a white woman who fits the typical standards of white beauty. Point blank period

"because they not dumb like whites."
is that the answer you want?

seriously wtf retard generalization is that?

some do and dont. but white girls got this culture pressure that says if you dont look thn you a loser. black girls and latinas who live in the US get into the thing too. my gf is upset that shes too fat too but to me shes just right.

True, Exceptions to this rule are those who were raised in white neighborhoods, and had mostly white friends growing up.. and I know a some black guys who just have a thing for skinny girls in general.. BUT If you were black youd know this is true.. I mean of course guys just like girls in general but they would PREFER the thickness or at least healthy-looking over skinniness as a general rule of thumb and that is TRUE no matter what u may think

How do you know I'm not black? My picture may just be someone else. Either way, my race has nothing to do with whether or not I understand. I'm friends with more than a few black guys who grew up in the mainly black projects and prefer skinny girls over thick girls. Race has absolutely nothing to do with who you're attracted to.

Since when has skinny been the opposite of healthy? You can be both, the same way you can be overweight and healthy.

Don't claim you know how other people, people you haven't met, think because it makes you look silly.


-- Posted by Jehovah at 6:13 pm on Aug. 6, 2008

Okay.


I'm a guy that lived in the "projects" for a few years until my family moved. And lemme tell you, I HATE THICK GIRLS. If I were the new age Hitler, my first plan of action would be to ship all fat/thick/chubby girls to a desolate island where I don't have to see them. I love skinny/athletic girls.
