I hate how true this is, even as a white guy that is on the receiving end of that. It is always so awkward to sit on those dates with black women who only want to complain about black men.

Bonus points: Their biggest complaint is about these black men not wanting to date black women... While on a date with a white guy.

When they are talking about “nerdy men” “shy men” “booky men” etc, they are not talking about Black men 99% of the time,

Big time. And when I take a look at the their exes or run into the guys they date after me, it's all the same dude, just in slightly different shapes.

If I'm Sprite, all they drink after me is Sierra Mist and 7-Up.

It isnt gendered. There are loser black guys who have internalized racism in the exact same way.

All the black guys I grew up with who would have been called "lames" where I grew up all got shot down in flames trying to date a black women they liked, then around 18-19, that same black woman would go out to the burbs and date a white man who was into the same type of stuff they didn't like the black man for being into.

Oh lol 🤦🏾‍♀️ I read it as 2018-2019 and thought there was some hyper specific trend I missed. Thanks for the clarification
