Question

In African American Culture. I am 5'2 and almost 110lbs...I don't have a tapeworm.

Answer 1

Black men don't necessarily prefer one size women over the other. They

all have different tastes just like everyone else, but as you know society

dictates that a perfect example model is a medium to small chested

white female with very little to no hips.  This is why a lot of white girls

are anorexic or fear their body image.  There are many body habitus

in whites, pending their origin.  If you noticed that larger white girls are

Ukraine, Russian, Croatian whereas smaller body frames you see

in the French, Spanish, more voluptuously developed are the

Italians, and many are obese ladies when they are older, certainly centers

around their lifestyles and eating habits.  Yet all beautiful women in their own rights, just as African women.  If you look at the demographic areas in Africa there are tons of tall and short skinny

African women as well as some areas where they are a bit thicker.

American black women often have multiracial backgrounds, thus

having many different body habitus.  They always have, yet it seems

that the voluptuos black women always took a stand because they

had the curves , larger breast and hips fuller thighs and legs but not

necessarily promoting obesity. White mainstream America has taken

it out of proportion presenting that a woman whose hip size  that is

larger than her bust size is considered full figured whereas a girl whose

bust size is greater than her hip size is considered perfectly proportioned. Many white females don't fit this image either. This is

a fabrication from magazines, Hollywood and the modeling agencies.

Being thin is not considered unattractive but it is generally conceived

in the US if you don't have larger breast ( a White thing) or larger

hips(the Black and Latino thing) then you don't have the attributes to

be considered above the average.If you are really that concerned I would say get a breast enhancement surgery and  do more gluteal

exercises

Answer 2

For black men it is, but as long as you have a great personality I don't see why it should be a bother. If your not anorexic then your fine.

Answer 3

WHAT BLACK CULTURE? ARE SAYING AFRICAN AMERICAN? JUST AFRICAN, JAMAICAN? DARK HISPANICS? BE SPECIFIC!

no not in the african american culture... i know so places in african fattness is a sign of health and wealth but here in AMERICA bein fat or skinny doesnt matter a black man or any man will talk to you if they are attracted to you.

Answer 4

- Yeah you won't get much love from black guys (same thing happened to me) but you have plenty of time to gain weight and fill up in all the right places with having children and women naturally gain weight when they get older so enjoy that figure now  

Answer 5

Answer 7

Answer 8

Depends on how thin..As long as your not skin and bones Im fine..

Theres a myth out there that we like fat women and thats NOT true..We like THICK women. Serena Williams is an example of a thick women.  

Answer 9

Yes it is in fact black men have consistently shown a preference for "big" women according to asthetic studies

Answer 10

Black men DO NOT want fat women, some do but most like women with flat TONED stomachs and full hips and backsides. Ex. Beyonce, Bria Myles, Melissa Ford, Serena Williams even Tyra Banks. However I know plenty of black guys who love Jessica White and she's pretty thin.

Answer 11

id still eat you cause your black hmm that brown skin but its a bonus if you have a big thick booty which im guessing you do i l**k the whole thing

Answer 12

IDK about the black culture but if you're healthy the way you are, nobody should tell ya what to do.  Some people are naturally petite.
