I am a black woman who is in a relationship with a white man and I rarely see couples like us and I live in the New York Metropolitan area. In New York City, you occasionally see black woman/white man couples, but not so often outside of that area. I know the kind of white guys you are referring to...those that "act black", but yes I believe that white men that are professional, like black women but just may not move in circles where they meet them. My guy is white and a college-educated, business executive. I've dated a few other white guys before that and they were all well-educated and successful...two had PhDs (one was married I found out....oops! LOL). Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that a successful, educated white man wants a woman of a certain character and demeanor. I'm not saying I'm all that, but you know what I mean? If white men are going to date a black woman (and they will date them if they can meet them), they want one at a certain level in life. Like a lot of celebrity white men are married to or date black women, but they are well-educated and elegant-looking black women. Examples: White men that are with black women are George Lucas, Robin Thicke, Wolfgang Puck, Robert DeNiro, Mr. Big from Sex and the City and Roger Ebert. Black women with white men are: Model Denise Vasi, Garcelle Beavais, Alfre Woodard, Iman, Naomi Campbell and Kim Wayans. In the real world, it happens, but sometimes we just don't move in the same circles, so we can meet and connect.
