I know this is going away from your point but I bought a pair of J's recently (very good price) and they feel fantastic on my feet. I bought them to hoop in (play basketball). Tried the KD's (Kevin Durant) and his feet are too narrow even in my size!

An <insert family member> told me this, anytime you go outside, even just to grab the mail, assume you are going to a club or some major event. Even if you go to throw out some rubbish, you need to look on point. You never know. Hence, I agree with what this guy is saying about looking on point.

lol my b. I tried to keep the non-music videos short cuz aint no body got time for that

edit: remembered why I logged on in the first place lol

Something occurred for the first time last night. While out with my friend I was talking to this girl and she left with her friend to go to the bathroom and when she returned whenever I suggested pounding a drink she was 100% for it. It was like she was trying to get drunk and give herself plausible deniability. Ive seen girls take shots with me but this was different. ID say some "lets do this" type shit that we would need both our hands for, we'd cheers, and Id look up after finishing my drink and hers would be on its way to being gone as well.

Not sure if that even important just thought I'd share

I've found that many YT women have an interest in black men the same way you might have interest in an animal you've only seen on Nat Geo or youtube. It's fascinating, it looks cool, but the dangers and social complications associated with it prevent you from ever trying to get genuinely close to this animal.

Your clothing comment I agree with 100%. Appearances are judged, and has always been the case in life. My comment was more related to the fact that a lot of the time when I see black men discussing game, many a time its in a "how can I make such and such group" feel comfortable, "what suit will allow me to blend in and distract from my skin", etc, etc. To me it comes across as a lot of guys running away from something to blend in, rather than a genuine interest in a certain style or type of venue. I got a sense in the previous post i responded to that there was an undertone of that, hence my workplace analogy. Looking for acceptance from a group that never really saw you as much more than a utility will lead to disappointment.

I like Jordans (I have 5 pairs), but I haven't bought them in a while. When do you wear Jordan's? Almost never. At work, I wear dress shoes. Going out casually to the mall, I'll wear a pair of comfortable sneakers. At night, I wear nice shoes because you can't get into a lot of places with Jordan's.

As an adult, there are few times when you can wear Jordans. I guess you can wear them to play ball or go to the gym. For lots of men, they don't want to do that because ball will wear down their $200 shoes easily. I only wear my Jordans at the gym these days.

Interesting observations and I can't say I disagree.

So what would you say to the young black guys that are looking to be accepted and seen as equal?

I never wear Jordans unless I am going to play basketball. My feet are big so they look blatantly obvious, hard to hide them away under some trousers or jeans and basketball trainers use up material just for the sake of looking spacious.

I bought some Shaqs and dem shyts looked like I was about to float across the English Channel in my footwear. As said previously, those days of rocking urban gear on my day to day are behind me. I actually enjoy wearing Stacey Adams or Kenneth Coles on a casual tip, my feet don't get sore and I don't prefer something more comfortable. I like to dress as if I might be whisked suddenly into a formal event so it's usually always business casual. I personally feel it keeps people on their toes and shows one they are about business. The only drawback is that one may give off that provider vibe (which is a slight personal problem of mine) although I'm #Team Anti-Appetisers like a mofo.

Yeah, I'm not that extreme to be honest.
I just tend to like women and can find something attractive in pretty much every group out there.

I've never thought of them to be some sort of unwinnable prize because I find them to be the exact opposite of that. Just on #'s, it's easier to get a good looking white girl than a good looking girl of any other color. I have to go OUT OF MY WAY to avoid white girls.

I've tried in the past to talk about white girl interests like wine, yoga, travel, etc. to white women. White Women would get confused why a 6 foot tall in shape Black Man is talking to them about those topics. They didn't know what to do with a Black Man like that.

Nowadays, I'm trying to tone that stuff down and focus more on being aggressive and having a dominant frame. Acting like a White Beta does not work for Black men.

Acting like a White Beta does not work for White men either, mind you!

I mean, I'm White, and if I act nerdy with White women and talk to them about yoga (whatever that is, no idea) and vegan food (whatever that is, no idea), I'll end up in beta-orbiting. I know, I've tried, in the past.

So, whatever the races involved, only alpha or almost-alpha men get quality chicks. Betas are left with internet porn, or fatties.

What I find is that women tend to have certain expectations of us and when you deviate from this they get confused and/or lose attraction. We get kind of put into a box and its hard to come out.

Lmao at beastiality, I spat out my drink. A lot the time I feel we are trying to be seen not as equal but safe. AKA "look, I'm not like them". You see it all the time in the manosphere as well even with black men and the white counterparts where theres this desire to be accepted as the kosher negro. "Oh I don't like rap music", "Oh I wear suits", "I hate BLM too". It's a pandering more than an equalness. In a broad sense it communicates subservience like a golden retriever, even if everyone in the room in smiling in your approval after those comments.

To bring it back to the context of game, The pedalstool comes through in the desire and constant research to be a comfy addition to said YT womans life or maybe even an asian, indian woman with an envy for the YT woman's lifestyle and social status, that has adapted the same dispostion towards us and our culture(s). I know for a fact the Beckys aren't gathered on any forum trying to genuinely make us feel comfortable or adapt complex hobbies to get near us. At most they want to know the address of the surgeon that did work on the Kardashians so they can get their own hersheys bar to parade around on instagram.

The white dudes in the Philippines thread don't ask a lot of the questions we do. Many show up in board shorts and flip flops looking to capitalize on a status level they have, that in order to understand, you'd have to be familiar with a lot of history. Once your familiar in that sense you can understand why a dude with a potbelly, ingrown toenails and a pension can stumble into 10 plus notches.

While White Women aren't that attracted to White Betas, they still enter a lot of relationships and marriages with them. They are the 2nd choice, but they still end up in relationships. For Beta Black Men, its not like that at all. You get punished a lot more for being nerdy, weak, or intellectual. Black Steve Urkel will not get in a relationship with a white or black woman at all. White version of Steve Urkel still has a shot at getting married to a white woman.

Unlike a lot of dudes I can actually believe you when you say you don't go looking for them as a status symbol simply because of what I've read from you in this thread alone. I was more so speaking to the majority and what I've read here and even in youtube comments and what not.

With regards to your monolithic comment, I agree 100%. Those comments I made were general observations. My comments general are related to the fact YT women are some sort of diamond by the standards of many. Thats why you have the colorism you have in the Caribbean, South America, Mexico, India and etc. Even those without a lot of Melanin want to get as far away from it as possible even if they won't admit it. And a simple review of history can show you where that fear/hatred of self originated, as a tool.

To expand on the resources comment: You'll notice the articles popping up about how black men are taking the "white queens" and "soiling them" from one side of the aisle and the the "how do I get into that house music bar and blend in to talk to YT women that prefer Connor". Its a symptom of a broader issue that has to be addressed if your going to game as a black man because you have to accept and know that things will be different for you and WHY it will be different.

Personally, I refuse to run from who I am and what I like. If I feel like wearing Jordan 4's I will, regardless if Peggy Sue is alright with it. If I put on Kendrick in the car, and Becky changes it to Calvin Harris because its "not as heavy", she should be happy to walk.

So in the case, I guess awareness AND rising above that awareness beats non awareness, right? Some black guys have come from countries where race isn't a fact or (since it's an all black country). So by the time they reach North America, it's too late to be fazed by the racial baggage and current racial pre-conceptions that one may try and heap onto them.

But for a black guy that is aware of the issues AND has healed himself of those concerns, does he end up doing better than the guy who chops through the bush blissfully unaware?

I can't speak for anyone else but when I talk about tailoring your style to your demographic, it 's more knowing your audience than trying to make people forget your Black (virtually impossible). Even if you exclusively talk to Black women you should still be cognizant of the effect your style has on them, as they respond to certain types of things as well.

On a related note, I think a forum like this that caters to Black men would be dope. Imagine a everything else forum where we could talk about Ivan Van Sertima and Claude Anderson.

So one of my plates just fell and smashed into pieces. An analysis exercise for you guys.

I know what I did wrong here and it wasn't a high value plate.. however this happened. I am quoting her as best I can since this was written in German.

Ok gentlemen for your analysis:

"I thought things over and I am looking for something serious for the future. I think that we are two different people. I will never be a fashionista or style girl, I am more of an all natural kind of person. Because of this I think it would be better for me if we dont see each other anymore"

I won't give my input yet. I want to see what you guys come up with.

Lets go guys.... lets stop talking about game theory and talk about real world occurrences. I feel like I am the only one who posts word for word whats going on out there in the field.

I don't think we are trying to pander that was the point of my comment on the aggressiveness. Any player has an aggressiveness to his game to be successful. Girls don't want us as a "comfy" addition to their lives they want what they have been spoonfed (like WIA said: social conditioning) about black males. Over aggression, hyper sexual, very personal game. I was saying that we have a pass to really over do it in how bold we can be pushing the envelope forward in our approaches, what we say, and our body language. When we don't do these things girls find themselves disappointed that what they watched in some damn music video did not occur. They curve us and seek out another male to give them the black experience:

I think the black guy in bold does better.

Just because the other guy isn't aware doesnt mean that the exepections haven't been cast upon him. Wheather he knows it or not the are expecting him to act a certain way and if he doesnt they will shut him out as well. Maybe in day game where you have a chance to show that you come from a different culture you can get a slight pass but in night game interactions happen too fast for them to care about changing their perception of a black male.

Also for me its not about "healing" its about understanding the concerns and flipping the script to where they work in my favor--also why I think the black in bolded above does better.

Think about hipster shorts that cut at the bottom of the thigh, some dope shades, beads, and a long T-shirt or T-shirt with some half naked girl on it.
I think that would be pretty close

Video picks up where he talks about dating for Black Men - in EE, Asia, and Latin America.

In a word? Good.

It's pretty good as long as you go to Cosmopolitan cities where there's lots of opportunity.

It's kind of funny when you think about the "two week" vacation that people rave about and plan for all year....
a 3-6 month vacation should really be the norm when it comes to dating in foreign countries...

3-6th month vacation as a norm?

I understand the forum elite may have a location independent lifestyle that allows this but thats just not feasible for 99% of the planet.

Once you hit the 6th month mark is that still a vacation?
You can likely establish residency at that point and may even have in country tax liability.

As far as that brotha who made that travel video, he has openly stated that his preference for women is BBWs. In other videos he has dropped hints that he is bisexual. Therefore, I can't take any of his dating advice for black men abroad seriously. The rest of his travel information seems solid though.

I'm a little too old for most of that (36). I do still rock graphic tees but lately I've been experimenting with making my own shirts via this site: https://www.designashirt.com/. For example I recently made this image into a t-shirt:

When I think of Kanye street style, I think of things like this:

It's sort of a "dressed up, dressed down" style.

EDIT: Actually that African dashiki t-shirt is actually kind of nice. I may cop.

Double EDIT: As far as warm climate street style clothes add another one for short sleeve henley's:
