She really did say white woman are not feisty enough didn't she.........*sigh* I am tempted to respond to this by showing just how feisty I can be.....but instead........ I am going to exit........and on the way out mention that STEREOTYPING SUCKS!!!!!
Of course not, I don't see it being negative but I respect your opinion and your entitled to have it. (o: My bf was raised in a very strict background and mainly be his grandparents as his mum moved over to britain when he was young to bring him and his brother over here. We've had this discussion countless of times, I don't mean any disrecpect or offense here but have both been told the negative stereotypes in each others race/culture. One of my cousins is married to a Ja Man, her mum came up to me and said "you have to watch it, they like there other women, like to party, but you know he gives her money even if he don't come back for days". All though that is true on how he treats her, she didn't think to mention her other son in law thats white and act the exactly same to her other daughter. My bf has been told white women are easy, will get you into trouble etc etc which is prob true with some girls (and yes they are girls) but I think its all how you are raised, I was brought up to treat others on how u want to be treated and he is the same. He even said to me, I know other guys do it but the thought of doing it to someone makes him feel physically sick, hes had it done to him and I've had it done to me in the past, cos we both think if u do that ur scum. He knows this, but I said if he ever does cheat he will lose me, I won't stand for it, but if hes gonna cheat hes gonna u can't stop someone from doing it and the same applies to me. He is sooo shy, when he first saw me at his work he kept staring at me, had to ask my mate for my number and didn't talk to me for the rest of the evening.
I said in my org post I have had my bad uns, please don't take this the wrong way but it did make me smile when u said about white women are not fiesty enough, my bad uns were from when i was much younger and more naieve; and trust me, from those experiences I'm prob a bit too fiesty now... (O: I don't put up with anyones crud. I'm from a white british background and his is a lot different to mine, but I don't get intimidated easily by anything, we talk about each others cultures etc. I just wanted put a postive note on ja men and women from wat iv known; I've known some bad ones, but there are good ones out there too.
Of course there are, I was trying to focus on the cultural differences, but if he grew up pretty much the same way u did, then you have a better chance! These are just my opinions, from the things that i have seen. That is what my idea of a forum is about. Not directing this toward u, but i seem to be offending everyone on ETJ with my opinions and i just thought that that is what this is about u know? I value opinions and criticism from everyone, anything that makes me look at my self and ask a question. I am not afraid of consulting myself, I haven't really been offended by anything that anyone has said to me, i have nothing to prove to anyone on here, as they have nothing to prove to me...Just a bit of friendly advice!

Hi Brit, i don't think that its as much a color thing as it is cultural. I wish u luck, but the white women that i see with not only ja men, but black men in general, I call them victims. Unless your black man was raised "white", i just with u luck, that's all! White women are just not as fiesty enough, not saying that only white women in interracial relationships get cheated on, but women like that in general, and coming from a non-cultural background, there may be alot that intimidates u. I hate to be negative about stuff, good luck, watch him is all!!!
What the **** are you talking about? Please explain. This should be good!!!

Don't take my post the wrong way girl, cause i am glad you are on the board, I like your vibe and think you are a good addition, you also have some pretty valid points...but......
IMHO nothing wrong with having strong opinions lord knows most around here do. Also nothing wrong being a strong proud Black Woman, we have nuff those around here too, you met Lady Rasta? or 1st Paradigm?.....among others......but if you are going to make a statement that encompasses a whole race of peeps be prepared for those peeps to be offended, as you would if I were to streotype you...thats all. I might be a White woman, but I am feisty as hell and am nobodies victim...trust and believe.

I didn't mean that white women weren't fiesty, believe me, i know some, i just meant in relationships with black men. I mean, i've seen some crazy stuff done to them, i mean black women as well, but the white women seem to do soooooo much and get soooo used and abused, and I don't know, it just seems worse to me than black women get played. It just seems like they didn't see it coming at all and i feel bad. I mean, i know guys that target them, just to get what they want, and from what i've seen, it works like a charm...
oh, and im not black, im west indian, Trinidad

Oh I know I have heard most of the stereotypes....even heard that Black guys like white girls cause we put up with more stuff, its easier to cheat on us, we give head and Black girls don't, also been told that most black guys will sex with white girls but when they are ready for marriage they will settle down with a sister.....and all those things are true SOMETIMES....I know that stereotypes come from things that happen frequently, just saying thats a dangerous road to go down, because think of the stereotypes you as a West Indian female have to deal with. All I am saying is if you choose to make a blanket statement its bound to cover someone who is an acception and will get offended, on ETJ people get offended easily. And for the record i am not even really offended by what you said because i don't take it personally. Its just me giving my friendly advice

I would never say the things that i say i haven't witnessed it first hand, over, and over, i've seen people get played to the utmost of playism due to naivete. Glad i didn't offend u, im not here for that! And, i mean, i dealt with issues growing up west indian when nobody really knew what that was, but I am thankful for my culture and heritage, Im not worried about being cool!!!

How did a thread entitled "Dating Jamaican Women" turn into "Dating Jamaican Men"?
Let's get back on track.
Because the question was worded to exempt Jamaican men. Since there are very few non-jamaican men (if any are still alive) who would dare to step up to the challenge of dating a Jamaican woman; then they might as well twist the whole thread any which way.
