What Do You Want?!: The Honest Ones

The volume of responses to this survey has been absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated! Profiles will still be posted weekly and I promise all of your submissions will be displayed! With that squared away, there are two new people for you all to meet. 


Name: Nicole Edmonds
Age: 21
Occupation: Student
Hometown: New York, New York
Relationship Status: Single


What physical attributes attract you to a man?
The way they're dressed and how they're groomed. Also, a slightly bow-legged man. You have to be taller than me. That's a must! NO DIRTY SNEAKERS. No thick-ums and you cannot be fat.

What intangible characteristics do you find important?
A sense of humor is very important. I feel like a nice personality is so general, but you can't be an a##hole. Then, there's the obvious things like loyal and faithful. Also, I kind of like a guy who takes control. I like guys that are forward, like aggressive.

What's your favorite thing about Black men? 
Their complexion, oh my goodness! A nice brown tone is just amazing. And you can't be ashy. That's gross. 

Would you date men of other races? Why or why not?
No. I'm just not attracted to any other races. I can recognize a handsome or attractive man of any race, but it's not going any further than that. You gotta be a certain complexion to ride this ride. [laughs]

If you could tell Black men everywhere the most perfect piece of advice, what would it be?
Don't be on that bullsh#t. Stop being selfish and be upfront about what you want. And stop being back-and-forth. Nobody has time for that. AND stop lying so much, damn!

If you could pick anyone in the world to take on a romantic date, who would it be?
DERWIN! Pooch Hall. 


Name: Stephan
Age: 23
Occupation: Full Time: Student, Part Time: Customer Service
Hometown: Fort Washington, MD by way of Queens, NY
Relationship Status: Single



What physical attributes attract you to a woman?
Long legs, nice butt, nice teeth and eyes.

What intangible characteristics do you find important?
Confidence, there's somethings to be said for someone who can walk into a room and say nothing at all and still be seen off of charisma alone. Someone that has a colorful personality, I like someone that has many different interests and someone I can talk to without feeling like we're talking about nothing even though we probably are.

What's your favorite thing about Black women?
I see strength in black women. That's not to say that I don't see strength in other races but that's just a characteristic that always jumps out at me when I think of my sisters.

Would you date women of other races? Why or why not?
Yes, I am child of many different races and cultures and as such I am attracted to many different things. However, when I look at one race over another I'm not looking at the same things. I'm looking at the differences, in a good way. 

If you could tell Black women Everywhere the most perfect piece of advice, what would it be?
Because you have had the weight of the world on your shoulders doesn't mean that the strength you've earned needs to become the anger you feel. Those who notice your struggle appreciate it. 

If you could pick anyone in the world to take on a romantic date, who would it be?
Stacey Dash, enough said!
