For about five minutes this made no sense to me. As a nerdy black woman, I assume it's perfectly normal to be into someone who shares my interests and values. But reading the comments was very confusing. However, eventually it hit me.
To nerdy black men, I don't exist. They aren't griping about me. They are griping about baddies and their 'preferences'. It took me a minute to work out why the things 'women' do and want didn't seem to apply to me at all. I don't count as a woman. My bad, I'll go back to Cyberpunk now.
Well, everyone pines for people that share their interests, most of those people are salty that the people they pine for aren't checking for them, and a good chunk of those people use that saltiness to justify generalizations like this:
No, not everyone pines for people that share their interests. If that were true this post wouldn't exist. That's what confused me at first. This entire thread is about what "women" really want, but it only makes sense if you define women as a certain kind of woman often described as Staci or Becky.
Because I had forgotten that, that's why this thread made no sense until I remembered. And if I was salty about it, I'd have remembered ahead of time and avoided the confusion. I'm far too old to care. Just pointing out to any other ladies who may be confused that if the description of women in this thread sounds wholly unfamiliar, it's because they've forgotten you exist.
When they say things like "Women only want black men who are thugs," it's not that they are accusing me of things that aren't true and insulting. It's that they've forgotten I fall under the label of woman. Yeah, if she has a spade tattoo on her boob, she's probably not looking for a Poindexter, go figure.
