Why didn't tiger woods marry a black woman? or the problem of black women.

<p>So, my dad and I were discussing Tiger woods and of course the question pops up , “why didn’t Tiger woods marry a black woman?”
i replied that black women aren’t considered attractive. He said that black women have no manners. I violently disagree with him.</p>

<p>Tiger woods, aside
According to ABC new, I can’t remeber the exact statistic but about 46% of African American women have never been married. This is obviously a problem.
Is this because African American women aren’t portrayed by the media as attractive? Is it because a percentage of African American women act in ways that “turn off men” both white and black? Are there other reasons?</p>

<p>I hope I’m not being offensive. As a black woman, this issue interests me to.And I’m curios about the responses. and of course, I want to know who’s right!</p>

<p>It kinda made me upset honestly. Even his mistresses weren’t of color! Are we not considered attractive to extremely successful, black men? Now don’t get me wrong, there are some rich black men that have black women on their arms (ex. Barack Obama, Will Smith, Denzel Washington). But then there are some that do not (Lamar Odom, Sidney Poitier, TIGER WOODS).</p>

<p>I didn’t quite understand that too- you know. Pardon me, but some of his mistresses weren’t even that pretty. What are black men thinking? I don’t get it.</p>

<p>“He said that black women have no manners. I violently disagree with him.”</p>

<p>ha! ha!</p>

<p>Depending on how violent, maybe that’s what he means! jk…</p>

<p>Anyway 'this topic was buried in an old “middle class African American” thread. Maybe I can find it,</p>

<p>Tiger Woods is more Asian than anything, you guys.</p>

<p>I don’t get it :-/</p>

<p>maybe because he loved her instead of a black women? i don’t think it’s necessarily a statement on black females in general, but rather that Tiger Woods simply fell in love a white woman and fell in lust with several “mistresses.”"</p>

<p>Yeah, I understand. It is just that ALL of his women looked the same.</p>

<p>Ignore tiger woods for a second.
(he is fascinating,though) The main question is :
Why aren’t African American women getting married?</p>

<p>I think there is a horrible stigma associated with African-American woman… We still have the Shenehneh’s on television exacerbating the stereotype. Now, I am light skin and people say I have it easy. But honestly, it is NOT that simple lol.</p>

<p>Yes this is a very interesting topic indeed.</p>

<p>Here’s one guy’s reason to not dating black women.

<p>How many of you girls date black guys though?
Many of us will probably claim that the selection is not very good.
Hahaha at least I do.</p>

<p>If a black guy asked me out
was respectful
intelligent ( takes APs and honors/I can have a debate with him)
I’d be crazy not to. </p>

<p>Except, i’m a junior right now so i have to focus on my studies.</p>

<p>Interesting topic. </p>

<p>Here’s my opinion: Black male perspective.</p>

<p>I think everything stems from male dominance. Black males, like myself, want to be in control. Many black women that I have encountered in relationships want to be dominant. They want to be in charge. They want you to call them every night, they want you to buy them things. They always want to be around you. They don’t want you hanging around your guy friends, or dancing with girls at parties. They get mad if you even look at other girls. If you are talking on the phone or texting someone, they always want to know who you are talking to and who you are texting. The common stereotypes of the typical black female are: loud, obnoxious, self-centered, insecure, and jealous. When you go to impoverished neighborhoods, many black males address black females as *******. This is true of some men, but more so in black men. “women are second to men.” (I don’t believe this). So when you have a girl that wants to be dominant and express all of the common stereotypes that I have stated, black males get “turned off.”</p>

<p>My friends and I think caucasian women are “easy.” Me, like my friends, don’t want to deal with the bickering and everything that is associated with the “typical black female.” Why deal with it when you can date someone of a different race, who acknowledges your dominance. </p>

<p>I think the media is to blame, but I also think past history has influenced how black females act and express themselves.</p>

<p>An intelligent black woman that has goals in life and is humble is very attractive. I sure wouldn’t pass on that opportunity.</p>

<p>" If you are a black women, and your man comes home with a smile on his face and you didn’t put it there, there is going to be hell." (Chris Rock) Some what of a paraphrase.</p>

<p>Just my opinion. Hopefully I don’t offend anyone. I did a psychology research paper on this, so I have more views on the topic.</p>

<p>“…humble is very attractive”</p>

<p>Ouch!</p>

<p>For one, Tiger is mostly Asian… He has very little “black” in him. Secondly, I really hope you guys aren’t complaining about the fact that none of his mistresses were black. He probably couldn’t find an easy enough black girl who would willingly commit adultery or be his little piece of side meat.</p>

<p>I’m one person, with one opinion, but here it is.</p>

<p>My father is currently married to a white woman. He never married my mother though. She refused to take care of him, so he left and married someone who would. </p>

<p>I’ve been asked out multiple times. Almost none of them have been black, and the ones that did, as soon as they found out who I was (intelligent and unwilling to put up with their stupid crap), they bolted. So that’s that. I don’t care if what shade of pigment a man is. I hold them all by the same standards. No black guy on my level has ever give me that opportunity (and when I say that level, I mean academically and ambitiously. I’m the only black or one of 2 or 3 in every single one of my classes, and the others are female as well). 4 people in my school made National Achievement (I was one of them), 1 was a male, and gay. </p>

<p>In response to entertainer</p>

<p>1). A woman who has serious goals in life that don’t revolve around marriage probably isn’t going to be humble, because women can’t get ahead being humble. And neither do men for that matter. But especially women, and the black ones for certain, who are at the bottom of the social hierarchy chain. So now we are breeding a generation of Condoleeza Rice’s and Oprah’s, and Madeleine Albrights; women who at the end of the day will end up alone, because we live in a society that makes it almost impossible for women to get ahead with a family.</p>

<p>2). If black women are too dominate or have flaws in their paresonalities and are considered shallow, they can look to society for the answer for that. Most black women are A). supporting themselves and their children because black men aren’t stepping up (yes, stepping up and actually raising all the children they’re creating) and/or B). grew abrasive to keep from getting stomped on and rolled over by other people their whole lives and/or even C). Have spent their whole lives looking at media outlets for black people that make black women material items, most of these outlets being perpetuated by men. I was walking in the park one day with my mother and these three little girls, all black were nearby. they looked like they were 6 or 7. One was holding a camera while the other two were turned around squatting and one inquired “are you getting my butt in this?” And thus it begins. A new generation of shallow black women because that’s what they learn from music videos and dumb crap like that.</p>

<p>3). Seeing as you have written the psychology paper and all, maybe I’m being presumptuous here, but I wouldn’t blame it all on male dominance. I think white women are more willing to put up with a lot of crap that black ones won’t. In fact why not start a new conversation about why black women won’t marry black men? There’s plenty of material to discuss no doubt.</p>

<p>i’m no expert, but i think i read an article that said some of it was due to black men leaving before marriage and being unable to commit. i don’t have much experience with this, so it’s more of just a hypothesis.</p>

<p>This is a really good debate! I would date any type of race but I have had white guys actually say that the reason why they wouldn’t date me is because I am a woman of color…needless to say, I was stunned. It is almost like my intellect, personality, and etc. do not exist.</p>

<p>…Probably b/c black women tend not to put up with jerks like Tiger Woods who get money and an ego along with it…and with that ego comes the “I gotta get me a trophy white girl” attitude…Not to mention, Tiger Woods doesn’t even claim his black side. I’m sorry, but even if he did like black women, I wouldn’t want that ugly, STD-infested man. Ugh. I’m sure he’s had something. If 10 women already came out, just imagine who else is lurking in the shadows. So the way I see it, black women aren’t missing out on much with him…besides a check. Lol.</p>
