African American Men: More Inclined to Pick-up?

[TomGray]

I've known several african americans, most of them at work, and most of the men seem to have a mentality of going to clubs or talking to girls at least. Hell, even the lesbian I worked with was always trying to get some ass. Whereas most of the white people I know, don't seem to have this on their minds as something that they should actively pursue. I feel that this is an accurate observation but I might just have a limited viewpoint. What do you guys think are the reasons for this? My gut is telling me that it is connected to black mens' greater interest in fitness.

Hmm, well speaking from personal experience (i'm not african-american per-se, i'm an afro-jamaican born in the UK, living in Canada yada yada..) i can say that alot of black people tend to be more explicitly sexual, myself included. Why this is i have no idea, but i do know that in regards to dating and relationships, from a young age sexual satisfaction (in a giving way) has always been my focus. The whole "lovey-dovey" emotional stuff has never really factored in and still doesn't. I've seen this in alot of West Indian (Caribbean) men and even women, and i think it is why you typically see less AFC's among caribbean men. I havn't really come across many African-Americans outside of the ones you see in pop culture so i can't really speak on them, but i assume it is similar given your post. This "predisposition" (if you can call it that) to being more sexually agressive can give blacks a headstart in regards to pick up, as the focus is correct however it also typically leads to the overly-aggressive approaches you often see in new immigrants, or resident black men who arent as accultured to white mores. It isn't all gravy however (as i am a member of this board as a beginner . I find that though i'm not typically interested in romantic relationships, i need to follow chase's pickup guidelines here as a way to channel my sexual aggression in a suave way, getting dates and attracting girls who aren't initially attracted (or noticing women who are attracted). Once i have a girl interested though, escalation is no issue as long as my logistics are right (and even then i've been known to escalate in some pretty ballsy places), the sex drive just takes over and i run on auto-pilot. I doubt it has much to do with fitness but I do think it has something to do with socio-economic status. People of lower-classes have less restrictions (outside of religion) to repress sexual urges. I think this is typical across the board, racially. I do tend to find more AFC black guys out in the suburbs (something i've found rubbing off on me which is another reason i'm here on GC lol).

Hope this sheds some light on your inquiry.

I won't really comment on the rest of your post since I don't know if that's true or not, but this is a fallacy. I'd wager most black men have LESS interest in fitness. It's just that many of them are genetically gifted, i.e. mesomorphs with ~twice the muscle fibers as ectomorphs, and even the slightest amount of stimulation will produce huge results.

I don't know about that. There's one thing having good genes on your side, but it's another thing to be MUSCLED. Well, I'm an ectomorph myself and have always had a hard time gaining so maybe that's why I doubt. This will need more serious research.

I think they suffer a lot less from the Madonna/Whore complex (for example many many many more black pop songs are about lust rather than love compared to white ones).

To be honest I did used to think that this aspect of African American culture was a little crass but now I can see that in pick-up terms its simply known as "setting a sexual frame" and absolutely the correct way to view women and sex.
