I moved to the USA a couple years ago from majority black country so i'm not used to "being black". Recently i've been wondering how much other people's (women) perceptions of me affects my dating life. So far, I've mostly dated interracially(I've only been with 2 black girls and 15+ girls in total). I've been working on my fundamentals for a while and I've been told I'm hot semi-regularly recently and I definitely see women catching glances at me when I go out. But whenever I get into conversation with most of these girls, the interaction feels like it's missing something - the willingness for them to comply. I can usually get into conversations with the girls laughing and us trading stories but whenever I number close/try to isolate/need something that requires investment from their part, there's usually always friction - she has to stay with her friends, she doesn't text back or doesn't care enough to put in the effort to invest (while still participating in conversation).
I've also studied white guys' game in person and it doesn't seem like they're doing anything special but it seems like they're getting better results in terms of investment from girls. I was out last night playing pool with this attractive white guy and after he says "we should go talk to some girls after this. I'm sure some of them would be into black guys". He didn't say this in a condescending way but in a matter-of-fact manner. That kinda threw me off, the bar was majority white so i kinda get it but as a black guy, am I really starting behind the 8 ball when it comes to dating?
I suspect it might be a social frame issue - i do tend to dress sorta polarizing. I've been told i'm pretty muscular and I wear clothes that accentuate this physique - does that make me somewhat intimidating? My style is also very much street wear which I think might make me unrelatable to the girls I want.
I've also felt like I always have little room for mistakes with girls - my game has to be near perfect because I don't get second chances. Do girls expect me to be more dominant?
Just trying to figure out what expectations/stereotypes people might have about me and how to work around/use them to advantage in-field
