What does vitamin D do for your health? What are symptoms and signs of vitamin D deficiency?
By the turn of the 20th century, 90% of the children living in New York, Boston, and Leyden in the Netherlands were afflicted with rickets, a bone-deforming disease. The first observation of this disease was in the mid-1600s by Whistler and Glissen, who reported that children living in industrialized cities in Great Britain had short stature and deformities of the skeleton, especially of the lower legs. It wasn't until 1889 that the discovery that "sunbathing" was important for preventing rickets came about.
Since then, many other health benefits of vitamin D have been discovered. These include the following:
Skeletal disease: Anyone taking calcium knows that you need to take it with vitamin D. It's needed because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains blood calcium levels to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent abnormally low blood calcium levels that can then lead to tetany. Vitamin D insufficiency leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism (overly active parathyroid glands) that causes increased bone loss, osteopenia, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and increased fracture risk.
Fall prevention is a public-health goal for the elderly. Each year, one in three people 65 years and older experiences at least one fall, with 5.6% resulting in a fracture, and vitamin D can play a role in preventing this. There are vitamin D receptors in human muscle that have a direct effect on muscle strength. A severe vitamin D deficiency can cause myopathy, which can cause muscle weakness and pain. Vitamin D supplementation can reverse this and improve balance. Supplementing 700-1,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 has been shown to possibly reduce falls by 19%-26%. Vitamin D3 at a dosage of greater than 800 IU/day given with calcium has been shown to reduce the risk of fractures by 10%-15%.
Another advantage to correcting a vitamin D deficiency has been seen in decreasing knee and hip pain. A longitudinal population-based cohort study of 769 randomly selected older adults aged 50-80 years found that moderate vitamin D deficiency predicts the incidence or worsening of knee pain over five years and possibly hip pain over 2.4 years.
Cancer: The link between the sun and cancer is typically not seen as a positive one because of the connection with skin cancer. UV-B radiation from the sun is said to be the most important environmental risk factor for nonmelanoma skin cancer. Because the sun is the primary source of vitamin D, researchers are looking to see what role it plays in skin cancer. Some believe that enough sun exposure to keep your vitamin D levels up while protecting your skin from damage is beneficial to skin cancer survival. There has also been research to show the protective effect that vitamin D has with the development of other cancers, including colon, breast, and prostate cancer.
In 1941, U.S. pathologist Frank Apperly published geographic data that demonstrated for the first time an inverse correlation between levels of UV radiation in North America and mortality rates from cancers. This means that more exposure to UV radiation (sun) leads to fewer deaths from cancers. Since this was published, it has been confirmed that there is an association between an increased risk of dying of various internal malignancies (for example, colon, breast, ovarian, melanoma, and prostate cancer) and living far from the equator. More research needs to be done to determine if there is a definite link between supplementing with vitamin D and the prevention of cancer.

House Democratic leaders have handed Rep. Donna Edwards an elevated role with the party's campaign committee, a fresh indication that the Maryland lawmaker is viewed as a rising star by her colleagues.
Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, announced Tuesday that Edwards would serve as one of two co-chairs of the Red-to-Blue Program, which "highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and offers them financial, communications, and strategic support." The program identifies the party's best challenger candidates and encourages them to meet a series of fundraising goals.
Edwards was one of four leaders of the same program in the 2010 cycle, during which she helped recruit candidates.
Edwards is close to House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) but also has close relationships with other key party figures, including House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) and Rep. James Clyburn (S.C.), the assistant Democratic leader.

President Obama used his speech in Texas today to demand a congressional vote on his jobs bill, even as Senate Republicans tried unsuccessfully to give him one.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., moved today for an immediate Senate vote on the $447 billion American Jobs Act, predicting that the Democratic-run chamber would not back it.
"Let's go ahead and show that the votes aren't there for this bill, so we can move onto legislation that could actually attract strong bipartisan support," McConnell said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., blocked McConnell's move, calling it a "political stunt." White House press secretary Jay Carney later used the exact same term.
"It was a very disingenuous attempt to draw attention away from the fact that this president is calling on members of Congress, both houses, to act on jobs and the economy," Carney said.
"I would simply point out that this is coming from a senator who has on the record stated that his number-one priority as the Republican leader in the Senate is not the economy, not jobs, but to defeat President Obama."
For his part, Obama, speaking at a community college in Mesquite, Texas, blasted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., for saying he would not allow a vote on the full jobs bill in the Republican-run House.
"What is the problem?" Obama said. "Do they not have the time? They just had a week off."
As for Cantor, Obama said: "What exactly is he opposed to?"
"Put your cards on the table," Obama also said of the Republicans.
As our USA TODAY colleague Richard Wolf reported this morning, Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring said: "House Republicans have different ideas on how to grow the economy and create jobs, but that shouldn't prevent us from trying to find areas of common ground with the president."
"That is precisely why Majority Leader Cantor has given his word to the president that the House will pass portions of his jobs bill in the next month," Dayspring said.

PinstripesPlus: What are your thoughts on the pending deal for Randy Johnson that has you headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers?
Dioner Navarro: Well, this is just the way it is. I would love to stay with the Yankees more than anything else in the world. But, this is a business and I have to go wherever they send me. I don't have a choice. When I signed with the Yankees, I chose this and understood that this could happen someday. I knew if I got good enough that one day I might get traded. I guess that means I am good enough. But, if I go to the Dodgers, my effort is not going to change. I love the Yankees but I'll still go out there with whoever I'm with and give 100% everyday and every game. I'll always give them my best.
PP: Have you gotten any word on this trade from the organization?
DN: No, not really. The Yankees have not contacted me yet or anything, but it looks like something is going to happen soon. Just like everyone else, I've just been watching ESPN to see if anything is going on. The Yankees getting Randy Johnson is a big deal for the Yankees. I was just really sad that it had to be me that goes. But, it is a compliment I think. But, it still shocked me to see my name on ESPN when they broke the news. Since that day, I've been calling by agent, Scott Boras, but I haven't got to talk to him very much. He said he'd get back to me soon. I know he is really busy this time of year. But I think we will all have some answers by next week. I'm as interested to see how this works out as everyone else is.
PP: Back to baseball, for a moment. It seemed that you improved your defense quite a bit behind the plate this year. What do you attribute your improvement to?
DN: Yea, a lot of people have been telling me that I to a lot better this year. I always work really hard and I think that has a lot to do with it. But, I was in spring training for a good while with the Yankees this season. That helped me out a lot I think. Just being there in the Yankee atmosphere was amazing for me. But, being there with Jorge [Posada] was so great for me. Jorge really took me under his wing and showed me a lot of stuff. He started out almost the same way I did and he told me about that. So, he really was like my mentor and I really look up to him in a lot of ways. I don't want to forget "Flash" [John Flaherty] either. He was like the catching coach for me and I will always remember everything he helped me with. I was so excited when they signed him for another season because I thought I would get more time to work with him on my catching. He knows how to handle pitchers and I want to learn to be more and more like that. Him and Jorge are so good. I have had good pros to help me out with the Yankees and I'll always be thankful for that.
PP: Of all the pitchers on the Clipper's staff, which one impressed you the most?
DN: Wow, that is tough to pick one. We had such a great pitching staff in Columbus this year and I was a lot of fun just to catch all those guys. Of course, Colter Bean. You have to talk about him. He had all those strikeouts and he really was just blowing everyone away. If i had to pick one, I think he has the best stuff and he had such a great season. Colter looks like he is going to be a great relief pitcher. But, other guys we had like Scott Proctor and Brett Prinz were great too. Proctor was out there throwing 95-96 MPH and Prinz was throwing really hard too. They were both fun to catch. Our starters were really good too. Alex Graman had a good season. And, I have never seen a guy that knows how to pitch like Brad Halsey. He impresses me so much. He is such a mature pitcher and I like to think that he is going to be an excellent Major League pitcher. Him and Colter Bean were probably the two best that I caught.
PP: Now, how big of a thrill was it when you were called up to the big show?
DN: I can't even describe how big that was for me. I had never been so happy. It was the biggest, biggest, biggest emotion I have ever experienced in my life. The day I found out, I was nearly speechless. I will really never forget the day I knew I was going to be a New York Yankee. It was something I had dreamed about since I was a little kid. But, just getting to play in Yankee Stadium and just stepping on that field was out of this world for me. I just thank god everyday for giving me the ability to play baseball and I think of it as a gift that I was able to get to the big leagues so young. I just hope now that I can get to play in Yankee Stadium again someday. I don't know if anything else will be able to match that.
PP: How satisfying was it for you to make the big leagues at such a young age?
DN: Well, it makes me very happy because the Yankees must like me very much to think enough of me to push me so quickly. I have always worked hard and tried to be to the big leagues as fast i could. I don't think I could have gotten their much faster. I may have been on of the youngest guy in the big leagues in September and that was satisfying to know that. I was happy to get their when I did because I am still young enough to be able to learn so much from the guys that are already there. I hope I get a chance to go back next season and stay in the big leagues for good.
PP: So, are you expecting to play in the big leagues in 2005?
DN: As of now, it doesn't look like I'll be a Yankee next year anyway. But, even if I was, they just signed "Flash" [John Flaherty] for another year. So, with him and Jorge with the Yankees, I would probably be back in AAA again anyway. But, that wouldn't bother me at all. Wherever they want me to go, I'll play there and I will get better. As long as I am improving my game and becoming a more mature player, I don't care where I play. If I got to the Dodgers, I am not sure what their catching situation is. Maybe I'll be in the big leagues there, I am not sure. Again, if I got to AAA, that is fine too. I am just thankful I am able to play baseball. When you put things in perspective, I know the important things in life now. Baseball is something I love, but I hope to play and make a great life for my family someday. They are the world to me.
PP: When you were slumping this year around the trade deadline, did the prospect of being traded distract you at all?
DN: A lot of people have been asking me that lately. I am not really sure if it distracted me or not. But, don't get me wrong, it was definitely in my mind for a long while. I knew my name was in trade talks and when the deadline passed, it was kind of a relief I think. I did start hitting a lot better, but I am not sure if possibly getting traded got in my head at all. I always try to stay focused and not let stuff bother me that goes on off the field.
PP: What do you think was the toughest adjustment was for you when you got to the AAA level?
DN: To me, I think that might be one of the hardest jumps to make in baseball. It is really a whole different level of baseball up there. There are guys who have been in the big leagues who are there, veteran guys, who know what they are doing. So, definitely, the competition was much better in AAA, and the pitching got a lot tougher. It was nothing I couldn't handle and after a while I started to hit the ball really well. But, the biggest adjustment, by far, was the guys around me. With Trenton, I had been with a lot of those guys all the way up through the farm system. So, a lot of my close friends were there. It was hard to leave them behind. I am glad I had one of my buddies come with me [Robinson Cano] or it would have been harder. Not being around a lot of guys I know was tougher at first. But, once I got to know them, they were a great bunch of guys to play with, too.
PP: You mention your friend, Robinson Cano. What is your impression of him?
DN: He is like my brother. I consider him to be my brother. He may be my best friend and it is going to be hard to leave him if this trade goes through. "Robby" is a great friend and a great ballplayer. I always tell him to keep working and keep on pushing and he tells me the same. We give each other a lot of help and it was right that we got to move to AAA together this year. I think he is going to be a star in the big leagues. I haven't seen anyone that can play the infield like him. He is a really good hitter too. He has a nice swing. Who knows, he might get a chance with the Yankees next year. If that happens, I'll be so happy for him. I hope we both get that chance, no matter what team we play for. I know he thinks the same thing. We are like brothers and only wish the best for each other.
PP: Did you get a chance to play in the Venezuelan League this year?
DN: I was suppose to, but I had to come home. My wife had a brain seizure and I couldn't be playing baseball with that going on. My family is the most important thing in the world to me.
PP: How is your wife doing now?
DN: Oh, she is doing fine now. For a few days, I was very scared and I got home as quickly as I could from Venezuela. The doctors took care of her and everything, thankfully, turned out alright. Again, I don't know how many times I prayed and thanked god that she was okay. Baseball is a love for me, but without her, I don't know what I would do. She's had a lot of health problems, but I'll always be there for her. It just makes me that much more determined to be a great baseball player and support my family with a great life.
PP: Well, Dioner, we all wish you the best of luck wherever you may end up in your baseball career. Is there anything you'd like to tell the Yankee fans?
DN: I'd like to say that being a Yankee only for a short time was the greatest experience of my life. I loved the fans on New York and had hoped I'd be able to be part of their team for many years and follow in the steps of Jorge. Being a Yankee is what I've always wanted. Even though I might not be with them anymore, I'll always have a special place for them.
PinstripesPlus.com would like to thank Dioner Navarro for his time and efforts in answering these questions. Also, good luck to him wherever his career may take him.

Why some Black women only date White Men
We always talk about Black women and how they can't date White men. Well, there are those black women that only date White men. I remember a pal of mine telling me once that she will never get married to Black man. And even as kids, when playing make believe, she was always married to a White guy.
The reason for women like her who only date white men may be very similar to the reasons why most Black women only date Black men … attraction. Some also feel that Black men treat them better than any other man ever could, and they feel that they'd rather have what they know instead of experimenting with what they don't know.
Some Black women are just not physically attracted to Black men. And as much as parents usually like hooking us up with people of our own race, well it reaches a time when you have to be honest with yourself. Imagine my pal for example: As a child, her first crush was Adam Sandler, then as she got older, she fell in love with Mel Gibson. This doesn't mean that Black men aren't handsome – they are just not her type.
Your perfect partner could be online right now...
What are you looking for?
Some also feel that White men (not ALL but many) find black women to be remarkable in every sense of the word; hence Black women tend to gravitate towards those affections. Much as her husband treats her better than any man ever had, one lady admits that she has been with some White men that disgusted her with their behaviors. But she says that generally, older White men and very mature on a broader level than with Black men on many levels.
Some are just wildly turned on by the differences … skin color, hair, being raised in different cultures, music, foods … the list is endless. Its all about the desire for the mysterious and unknown. And for some, its just pure love because there are those that forget that we are 'black' and 'white' and just coincidentally happened to fall in love with a White guys.
One thing we all have to remember is that not every White man is a Black woman's dream. It all depends on the individual … good and bad comes in all colors.
With that said, the generic phrase - 'It should be about love and not color' – is cute. But in this case, not entirely truthful. Its not only about love. Much as love gets cultivated eventually, there is physical attraction and a declaration to date only one race. Racist or preference?

I have to say that, as a black woman, I do not date white men because black men do not want me anymore. I date white men because, they're what I'm attracted to. I don't like it that the media says we are going after white men because we are this poor, pathetic ethnic group that nobody wants. We have choices. Any black woman can tell you that black men still find us attractive.They still love a black woman's figure. I think sometimes, just opposites are more appealing. That's just a natural thing.Doesn't mean I'm less attractive. I have dated mostly black men in my life and always found white men attractive. I grew up in a house with a father that made it painfully clear, not to date a white man. Because of that it took me many years before I did. Now that I'm older and doing what I want to do and dating who I want to date,...like one lady said in an early post,.....I don't care who disagrees or doesn't like it. I'm happy.Reply to this comment

@ jt37. You are so telling the truth. I remember an elderly white woman at a Lucky's supermarket in Oakland say out loud to herself while holding a box of grits: "They make fun of this but one day I'm going to try it." I whispered to her, "grits are delicious ma'am and you should try them!" She thanked me for my input. Did she buy a box? I don't know, I didn't have time to stick around to watch her... Anyway, after moving to Huntsville, AL, I and my co-workers were at our company Christmas dinner when a white woman said "I've got to hurry up and leave so I can put my greens on." I almost fell out of my chair. I asked, "You like greens Theresa?" She simply replied "Yes." The other whites at the table chimed in in agreement. I just couldn't believe it - she even put ham hocks in to season them. lololol Finally, I'll never forget attending a family reunion in Cincinnati at the Sheraton which served grits as part of the breakfast buffet and saw this one white woman whisper about me to her friend. I then stated aloud so she could hear me: "It's so nice living in the South where Blacks and Whites like and eat the same foods." Of course she was embarrassed, as she should have been!Reply to this comment

I think that statement the author James made about white men liking black women because of "wildly different cultures, food, and music" is completely wrong at least in the case of many men....I am from the south...my parents were from the south...and my ancestors in america were almost all if not all from the south. There are many areas in the south where a county/town will have as many black residents as white residents (and it has been that way for 100s of years in that particular area). A lot of food that is labeled as "soul food" is also eaten by countless white southerners. A lot of southern black musicians have recorded songs by country music writers (Al Green, James Brown, Ray Charles, Tina Turner etc. have done it.) Many anthropologists argue that people from the south possess a biracial culture (over the 100s of years both black and white people influenced each other). Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King were both born in Georgia and to me their dialect/accent or whatever you want to call it are more similiar to each other than they would be to say a white or black person from NYC etc. I think James' arguement was way too simplistic...maybe a white guy from vermont/maine/rhode island might find a black womans culture to be "wildly different" but from my perspective I don't see it that way at all.Reply to this comment

I found this thread interesting. I've dated quite a few black women and tend to find them (and Arab and Hispanic) women more my type. Just a preference issue. I tend to be more attractive to those women as well. I wanted to clear up to myths, at least in my 42 years of experience as a white guy, military vet, traveler, cultural spectator, etc. 1. MOST WHITE GUYS ARE NOT JEALOUS OF BLACK MEN. That may have been true in the past, it may have had racial underpinnings, but a LOT of that is hype from black men (confirmed by white women I've known who've dated them). I also hear black guys drop hints like that sometimes, kidding around (half-kidding). Most white guys are NOT insecure about black men, or care if they date white. And actually, although I think it is ALSO a stereotype, most white guys think of black me as only being able to get fat white women (which I know is not true). But that's the deal. 2. As sexy as black women are, or can be, it is a VERY VERY small group of white men that "only want black women for sex." Finding it on the internet, or finding some evidence does not prove that (some men are into all sorts of weird stuff). There IS NO stereotype within the larger white male community of black women being better in bed, or any of that. There may be SOME white men that think that, but that is NOT a stereotype. That's something I often hear black women allude to (and yes, the whole "back in the slavery days" etc). White men love sex, yes...but most are not attracted to black women, or are neutral. White men DO have a fetish, as a stereotype for Asian women...do not ask me why, I've never understood it. but it is ASIAN WOMEN that white men talk about, carry on sex stereotypes, etc. Just sayin. I am not writing this to be offensive or to be mean,but I get tired of hearing these two stereotypes. They simply aren't true and I think in each case (black men, black women) they are thinking something they may WANT to think. Plenty of white men find black women attractive (as I do), but it is no more of a sex thing with them than anyone (I've slept with all races /ethnicities and the only differences are personal ones, not racial, other than obvious skin, smell, differences, etc).Reply to this comment

Look black men! Your black sistas will always have love for you. We want you to achieve great things and some of us want to share the success with you. But in some cities you guys aren�t checking for us. So we have to go where the love is. I have three brothers and they all date white girls- some I love. I absolutely love my nephews and nieces they have produce. My brothers tell me blacks girls have big mouths. This means we don�t put up with their bullshit. I feel sorry for the way my brothers treat some of the girls. Some bros really love white women, some date them cause it easier- they want submissive women that they can control. Black men, it is true we have lost our way some what. We don�t make you feel like men and we do sometimes have too much pride. But we black women have endured a lot. So this protective mechanism has caused us to be hard on you. We do hold you to high standards- the same that we strive for. But please stop being so defensive thinking we are gold diggers. It�s not fair for you to lay up with us while we hold things down and then when your successful you leave us behind. Guess what? A white woman will take your money too. I love you and always will because no one has swag like you do. But I�m too exhausted to stroke your ego. I need a white man- no drama. You know what? I see your point- sorry. Yes, I think white guys have less drama and it is nothing more sexier than a white man with a black woman. Like or Dislike: 0 0 (0)Reply to this comment

For a site that promotes interracial dating, the union of individuals from diff race, backgrounds coming together and making it work as 1.. there is a lot of bitterness, and a lot of provocative arguments/articles and controversy going on on here..... If you have a preference of black, yellow, orange or blue mate, well seek it...do what you must to have it.... but when you start assigning certain behaviours to certain race, it's just terrible... at the end of the day, it's the way a person was raised...their experiences, and how they deal with them, what they take from it, an what they have learnt, their heart and mind... their environment, thats what makes up a person. I am mixed race, my mother's family is from India, and my father is a mixture of black, indian , and scottish...and possibly others... my mom 4 kids, 3 with my dad, and my sister, my mom's first born, has a black father.. we were raised by my very indian grandmother, while my mom tried to work to provide for us.., grams disliked the idea my mom decided to have kids with non indian men..and my sister, being half black, was treated like crap.... For me, what i took from my childhood, after seeing my sister suffer, is, how can i ever treat any one race so terribly...i believe in God, and that he made us equally...i believe we wern't made to all look the same, sound the same, be the same, or else it would be a very boring world.. and i feel it's a test to see how we live as human beings, how well we treat others...whether you believe in God or not... I don't care where you are from...i'll never treat you differently because of the colour of your skin.... A lot of people out there need to teach their children the right thing, expose them to different culture, expose them to the diverse world they live in... it starts at home... if you expose them to racism, telling them only one colour is better, what do you expect them to do?Reply to this comment

I always like to joke around about how much I can't find a compatible black female, when I do she is usually dating or married to a white man. I'm sort of implying that a lot of black men have ruined it for black women. I'm sure if I read through enough of these responses it's bound to come up how so many black women are fed up with the "stereotypical" black man you sometimes hear about. Black women have been outpacing black males in the career and education arena. So, in a sense, can you blame a black woman for dating white men? No. Can you blame someone for basing their future actions on past events? No again. But what we all learn, after living long enough, is that you never know when, where or who that next compatible person might be. My childhood friend always grew up exclaiming he would marry a black woman. When he went to medical school and became a surgeon he ended up marrying a white woman. Well, I wonder why? Opportunity? Availability? Or let's just admit that they met and liked each other--irregardless of their skin color or race. I hate to say it but confining yourself to dating one race is like saying you only like one kind of music, food, color, movie.Reply to this comment

As a young Black man, I always feel challenged with this topic. Dating is culturally influenced. When I hear Black women say Black guys aren't romantic or family oriented, I'm reminded of the brutal history of America and the attempt to destroy black love. I'm for interracial dating because everyone deserves love. I just hate that Black men and women of this generation have very few examples of Black love to emulate.Reply to this comment
VASweetie82 says:Posted: 09 Sep 12
I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with dating interacially. In fact I find it exciting to date people from different backgrounds, both culturally and racially. My own personal dating experiences with black men led me to realize that I didn't have to limit myself to one particular racial group simply because I identified with that group. I was blessed enough to be raised in a very diverse family, and community. I find that when it comes to personality and looks, I'm attracted to guys with similar traits whether they are white, black, latino or asian. I have a type, but it sure isn't defined by, or limited to, a particular race.Reply to this comment

Hi Dan89may, I dont know what is going on with you but you seem angry or bitter I dont know which one but I have a question for you. How old are you? Some of your comments have been childish because you couldnt be speaking from experience because experience will eventually show you, you cant judge all based on what someone told you or a few bad experiences. Your sexual reference was not called for please tell me HOW AND IN THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW? Black men cant last long. The issues you mentioned do not apply to every black woman or man. Just as the rumor every black man is packing and every white man is small....So be careful with the general statements.Reply to this comment

Why would any bw want to date a white man like you who doesn't even seem to like bw. And the only thing you can offer is negative stereotypes about bw(our fathers, brothers, sons,etc). Put out positive and you might just find a good bw. You sound so angry and bitter about some percieved rejection from bw. I am a very happy, fun, open, passionate........and I am looking for the same. If it is too hard for you to date bw you don't have to date bw get you a white woman. But maybe you should travel some and see how other parts of the country live. Because bw and wm are very successful having the lowest divorce % in the whole nation.Reply to this comment

Dan, you should continue in your quest to find a compatible mate, however you may want to evaluate some of your behaviors and the way that you present your ideas. There are all types of people in the world and it's unfortunate that you had a negative experience at the mall but don't stop there! She was just one of many women in the world. Just be positive and you'll find the right person for you. Best wishes in your search and lose the negative stereotypes!Reply to this comment

That one did not smile back and say hello. I would have, and many others would have, too. Don't judge all black women by that experience.

Dan89may, I am a black woman. I use to wonder why is it that white men dont approach the black women. I would want to think that it is a matter of culture. I know of white guys who likes me but they never tell me .Some may say hi, but as far as I am concerned, this man is just being polite, however if he was to start a conversation and let me know that he likes me ,then I would respond. I am also a very shy person and in my culture our black men will tell the woman that he likes her. So I would suggest to the white man who likes black women, to be more assertive eg. if you like her make sure you let her know . In regards to the lady who did not respond to you in a nice manner; maybe she was not interested and that was her way of showing it, so dont take it personalReply to this comment
cherelle4u says:Posted: 27 Sep 12
@ dan89may you cannot speak for all black women and judge them because one black women did not smile back at you! I hate to say this but I think at some point you have been hurt by a black woman . Therefore, you must be careful with your perception of black women and men! Honestly, we all have had bad relationships and most of us have learned from these bad relationships and chose to move forward. Do us all a favor and continue to smile at the African American women you find attractive you just may get a smile back! Also please stop generalizing all black women and men in the same category! Yes we as African Americans have different shades of colors; however, we are different indivduals on certain levels! So heal your broken heart pick dust yourself off and don't give up until you meet the black beauty you been looking for! (yes I said it black women rock and we are beautiful)Reply to this comment

dan89may, When you wrote what you think of black men in your post--nothing but negative stereotypes--you are, by association, insulting all black people, including black women, for they are black men's mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, daughters, and granddaughters. Think about it: black women can sense it that you have this negative view; that's why you don't feel "safe" enough for them to smile at you. No respectable black woman would go out with a white man who thinks black men are so far beneath him. Just by believing what you do, you are insulting her father, grandfather, uncles, brothers, sons, and grandsons. It is probably better for you--and for the sisters!--that you have not found one to go out with you. If you check your attitude, you can clean it up, or get help getting it cleaned up. See what's behind it. At least you are open enough to be on this website. I think a lot of people on this site are trying to tell you to get some help with this.Reply to this comment

I did discover stark differences between different dating races though. Black men are way better in bed! Yeah white guys like to go down and all but they're just not good at making the neighbors know their name like the black guys I've been with LOL And white men are way better at romance and treating a girl special...I just notice they can be great thoughtful boyfriends/partners.

Now im to the point I dont care what anyone thinks, I love white men, they stimulate my mind way better than any black man has ever done, and to me a white man is interested in me and who i am and not how soon can he get into my pants. I will not take who i really am anymore and date who i am not comfrontable with, i love white men.

I really don't have a preference honestly. I've dated white, black & Latino men. From my own experiences Ive always felt like the black men that I dated have not had strong family values or value commitment. After repeatedly being cheated on, lied to, disrespected and abused by the black men I've dated I'm just ready for something different. I feel like white men & Latino men alike are raised to not desert their kids or families. I also have felt like the black men I've dated always want to make me change who I am to satisfy their desires. I am who I am and I don't want to be made to feel like any less of a woman. I am very proud of my black-Latino heritage but I'm just not finding any black men in the community where I live who have the same values as myself. That's why I joined this site. To find something different and hopefully better.Reply to this comment

i'm glad you said "in my community" and "the black men I have dated". A lot of women sum all black men up in the same category once they have had a few bad experiences.

I hear what your saying but I think its important to always put yourself in other peoples shoes. Because how fair would it be if a black man came on this and replied saying, "I don't date black girls because, theyre loud, obnoxious, stupid, ugly, ect," How hurtful is that?? So unfair! And most people would generally reply to that by saying, "How dare you, thats just the girls you've dated/encountered thats so unfair to lump all of us together like that!!!"... And thats exactly what youre doing to black men. Me personally, I am attracted to white men more so than black men but solely because I am attracted to people within the theater community (theater geeks) so more than likely theyre white. Has soley to do with what I am attracted to on a personality level. If I end up with a white guy, so be it! If I end up with a black guy, so be it! :)Reply to this comment

I love this, all man are equal. I really wouldn't care if yellow, white, green, but coming from where I am I would prefer a white man with slow hands....lol. I have the brain to match him and can tell him off if he gets smart, (there are enough white man or a man for every woman on this earth). At this point in time of my life I am not about to test new waters so I'd prefer to stick by the white man that I have dated since high school days, only because I wanted to avoid traditions and customs, but I think at this modern time and age, men of all race have stepped in everything including love interest to meet what's out there. Love you all men, but I am used to a white man that is stimulating for me from the bedroom to the outside business world.

To all the Ladies, I will say there are some white men who may view us in a negative light but not all....I know some of you may not know this but there are a lot of white men in the military who do not share the same views of typical white men. White men in the military have worked around all different races and have a more realistic view on race (they dont care). There are many that love sisters with hips and appreciate our curves. I know many and they express how they want to find a sister they can develop a relationship with and eventually marry.I asked them why do they want a sister? I have been told over and over they love our minds, how we carry ourselves, our nuturing and loving nature. I wanted to share with my sisters because I know it is frustrating to feel that we are not viewed for our character, education, and the good quailites we possess; but there are men that will.Reply to this comment
nika23 says:Posted: 15 Jun 12
It is so nice to hear us being appreaciated and valued for our character because I think that's much more important than just our physical beauty. Beauty fades so if that's valued the relationship is doomed. It's good to see that some men realize that a quality woman is more valuable since looking like a model or a certain race is the only criteria for a lot of guys these days. It's funny that they then complain that they can't find a good woman when they are surrounded by them, they're just valuing the wrong qualities. I was always a bit fearful of military men because many can be controlling and I experienced a bit of that. My ex (a white guy) was in the Air Force, he worked for the police academy and was a prison guard and he was a great guy. He was very take charge which was new for me, but I liked it because most of the guys I dated in the past seemed so indecisive and it was nice to finally meet a guy who acted like a man. Maybe I should give it another try and find a nice military guy.Reply to this comment

Totally agree with you! And everyone has to be honest, you find men of all races that only value women for their bodies. Its not exclusive to a specific race. Because I refuse to believe that wm exclusively only want bw for their bodies and not acknowledge a bw's personality or brain. Men (and women too probably) of all races do it. If a guy only wants you for your body he's not the guy for you. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, whatever, he's a jerk and you shouldn't be with him. :)Reply to this comment

Appreciated your recognition of how we Military Men (many of us, but not all) incorporate our life experiences into our attraction to Intelligent, Beautiful Women of different cultures....Thank you so much for that!!! People develop and change over a lifespan.....this is clear and universal... How one changes are functions of their environment, intellect, biology and other less definable factors.... What one thinks and feels and is attracted to early in your life will probably, hopefully change as one has meaningful life experiences, travel and rigorous education later on.... Things I have learned and how I have grown positively over the years vis- a- vis my great honor of being allowed to serve Our Lovely Country (USA) in many climes and places importantly include a desire for Black Women of Beauty, Intellect and Substance. Thanks for reading my comment....Sentient, respectful comments always encouraged:) Regards, Layne (GalvSailor)Reply to this comment

I have a problem with stereotypes. I'm a black woman who's slim and petite. I'm quiet, dislike drama and well spoken. In fact the truth is I struggle to maintain friendships with black women often due to cultural or maybe I should say problematic background issues. But that's besides the point. My point is if WM are said to or say they like BM for curvy bodies, big lips and "strong" personalities -ahem- then where does that leave slim women like me?? Well, anyway, in real life I do very very often get propositioned by WM in my line of work. So I know they do like my look. Just saying don't stereotype so much at the end of the day it boils down to 2 people having chemistry and a connection. Good luck galsReply to this comment

THere's something wrong with a person who isn't attracted to their own race. You're black..........that means you aren't attracted to yourself. I am attracted to ALL races. Beauty is beauty. Skin color is nice but it doesn't define who you are. You need to take a look inside of yourself to see why you don't find yourself beautiful.Reply to this comment

I'm gonna disagree with you a bit. Just because you have preferences of dating doesn't mean you dislike or hate yourself. I almost think, in a funny way, it makes you feel MORE black!! lol! Funny enough, when I'm dating a white guy vs. a black guy I feel more black with a white guy! Some of the cultural differences and obvious physical differences are MORE evident when youre with someone of the opposite race! So it somewhat forces you to acknowledge your blackness which is ok with me! :)Reply to this comment

It all is about your personnel preferences. You like who you like, only your heart knows why. i'm not attracted to men...so does that mean I hate men? No I think that you have to follow your heart, and if we all did that and were happy for others in their personel lifes, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Don't settle, don't listen to anyone else and make yourself happy. Also when white guys find out I primarily date Black Women, they begin to open up about their own attraction to Black Women, they just are afraid of what society will say. I tell them, your not in 6th grade anymore grow up and stop worrying about others judging you.Reply to this comment

I've never been physically attracted to black men really. Although, through my life I can say that I have found people like Michael Jordan and Denzel Washington attractive. I've only dated white men. I find myself physically attracted to white men, and I have for as long as I can remember. My first crush, in kindergarten was this adorable boy named Danny. But Danny like most five year old boys wasn't interested in girls yet. So I spent every day watching him like a lovesick puppy at school. I wasn't always as comfortable with my attraction to white men -- I never discussed it with family or friends for fear of being ridiculed or ostracized. But once I was on my own, in my twenties, I felt free to explore and enjoy. I've learned that as human beings, we like who we like and if we're lucky, they like us back.Reply to this comment

That has been a topic at my family table for over 35 yrs. I have a total of 7 sisters. 5 of us date and married interracially as well as both my brothers..My dad asked me that question first in 1979.. I could give him an answer..Deep inside of me, it just felt right and natural ..Still quite comfortable being with a white guy. I live in city where I see men of all races looking at me. I have had some men say "A different place or a different time and you would be the mother of my children" For me its all about comfort, and allowing me to be ME..Reply to this comment

I have been dating interracially for years and I have found that most guys in general just don't care about race, I know I don't. I still love black men, I'm just open to dating people from different places, cultures etc. I think the media now...that the kids are watching is different from even when I was a child and I just left my twenties. People of all races are shown to have uniform interests, thoughts, cares, worries etc. I think the US is finally embracing it's multiculturalism and I think the kids will all think we're weird for even discussing race, LOLReply to this comment

Well, I agree with you in some ways. The USA is definitely getting better in terms of interracial dating. However there are still issues when it comes to skin color...........particularly within the black culture. We still berate one another for being light skinned or dark skinned. Having so called "good" hair and naturally kinky hair. Oh it's a shame.Reply to this comment

I dated my first white guy when I was 23 and now I'm fifty and I love white guys. I sign up for this site and when I read the success stories, I wonder will I ever meet anyone that is genuine. I guess I'm looking for what every other woman is looking for which is a good man. I love my brothers but I just like white guys and @imshrhutl86, like you said I've had bad experience with both race and I just prefer white guys. Reading those stories does make me feel like i got a little hope of finding someone. My problem is, is the guy is way too old or way too young. I think the ones that are my age and are in shape or just not interested in me. This will be my last try. I've been alone for two years so I don't just rush into anything. When you get to be my age you don't care about what someone says or think any more. The stairs you get when your with a white guy I find it very funny. Just my thought for today LOL.Reply to this comment

I have to say that. As a black woman I love all shades of men. Black, white, latino, etc. But in my bit of experience with men, respect and attraction. I find that white men do tend to make you feel more important. My dad and mom are both black, they both love each other very much and they always raised me go with what I feel. I can say that that is not the case for all white men. I mean I had some bad experiences with them too! So,I dont want to put our black men out there, and have them percieved as "not caring". Its just the way I feel, I always have and always will be attracted to white men more so than others. It is what it is! And people shouldnt be afraid of what anyone else think. Love is Love.Reply to this comment

I can only speak for myself, I feel black women and white men have been brain washed by the media that shows only white women are the most beautiful women in the universe and black women are ugly ghetto and unactractive,while the blck men tell black women to stay with their own race, most of us black women wouldnt mind dating a white guy but we don't want to be precieved as whores or golddiggers.I think a lot of white guys buys into that sterotype about us.While the white women and black guys are hooking up being happy with one another no looking or judging each other on their skin color.In a nut shell i think white men have been brainwashed that black women are only good for one thing thats sex.And most white guys i feel think their more superior than black women.Thats why a lot of black women don't date white guys they wouldn't mind dating them we just want to be respected ,P.S I'M A BEAUTIFUL BLACK MEN OF ALL RACES THINK SO SOMETIMES I GET MISTAKEN AS SOOUTH INDIAN .WHEN i tell some whit gus i'm african american i can see some start getting uncomfortble.I feel white guys care about what people think about who they date,whereas white women stand on who they love no matter what color they areReply to this comment

In most civilized countries in the world the color of your skin is a non-issue. All this black/white crap got started by the wealthy people since the beginning of this country. It's all about divide and conquer. They want all the poor people fighting each other by brainwashing us with the idea we are different and better or worse than one another. I'm from Brooklyn,NY and have always been around all types of people. We are all pretty much the same and have many things in common like we need to pay the bills and put food on the table. I don't consider myself white, I'm of Sicilian decent. We are not colors, we are all people who come from different lands and cultures. Whenever I start to see an African-American female almost always the first question is "How do your parents feel about you dating a black woman?" They are happy if I'm happy. Yeah I'm sure my mother's fantasy is for me to marry a nice Italian girl with a nice Italian family so she can cook and take care of me just like she did,lmao Right and just look at how well my relationships turned out when I dated "an Italian" lol I'm just joking, like every one else I've had some good and bad relationships regardless of what color or nationality they were. In closing no one should ever limit or close their options.

I like your post, Eaz34. One of Alexander the Great's primary goals was to mix the races together, and he did quite a job of it. In the first century, people were identified by their country of origin, not their race. We would do well to dispense with descriptions of color. That would make me primarily French, Welsh, and Scots-Irish, but from a gene pool that goes back to China; and my ex African, Blackfoot Nation, and Irish; and my kids...Well, I guess a lot of groups have mingled.

I really agree with Lisa0131, because I dealt with a white guy dating me but seems to want to keep things between us a secret. Here I am a beautiful full figured, confident, smart and strong black woman asked to keep things between him and I a secret because he afraid to admit his attraction to black women. Then there's a black guy trying to marry me but I'm not attracted to them...as much. I think a lot of white men are afraid of their family disowning them if they knew they loved a black woman. I love myself a lot and have a lot of love to give the right MAN has to be strong and stand beside me not behind me. Kisses to all!Reply to this comment

Dear SuperSmiles, If the white guy keeps your relationship a secret, he is two-faced and lacks character, courage, and conviction. I am white and married a black man when I was only 19. As a young girl--in 1976 when interracial relationships were taboo, and still illegal in some states--I had the courage to face death threats, the disapproval of society in general, job discrimination, a man releasing his guard dogs to attack us, being disowned by almost my entire family, and being disinherited. But I didn't care at all; I ignored it and got married. If this guy doesn't have the courage to tell his family in 2013, he is not man enough for you, honey. (On a practical note, he also may think of you as "just a side dish" The girl he really loves, he'll bring home to Mama. Real men do that.). You hold out for a man who will love you completely for your beautiful self, and who will shout it from the mountaintops and make sure the whole world knows that he loves you. Now that's a real man.Don't be discouraged. There are men of all races who have that kind of character.Reply to this comment

As a child growing up in the caribbean the music we listened to on radio and tv was mainly from international singers, my first crush was Tom Jones and for years i only liked white or guys from different races,even had a white boyfriend for a while in secondary school. But i spent most of my adult life with black men even had a child who i love with a black man but they were never on the same wave length me, my music and some of the things i liked to do made me "a hater for black people". I grew up on rock music mostly but as a child of the 60's music from then through to the early 90's is what i love the most when i want to clear my mind and relax, that cause a lot of problems and unfaithfulness in a 9yr relationship because i didn't like his type of music. When you are faced with situations like that what should you do, take it or try something different so going back to my first loves seems more sensible to me and for most black people it's not betrayal cause we aren't pure bred african, we are just turning to the other side of our gene pool at least i am. Remember one thing at all times as black people unless your parent are from africa you aren't as black as you think you are and i'm an all natural black woman, short natural hair, no make-up and a hefty butt who doesn't want to be told anymore that i must hate the part of me that's white. To truly love you must first love yourself and to love yourself you must embrace and love all of yourself including the different cultures and races that are a part of youReply to this comment

Wow.... Okay Background first. White Male mid 20s. Grew up in MidWest with some but not much interaction of different cultures. Joined Military been all over the world. I have been exclusively dating outside my race for last 5-6 years. I got married to a black woman (black is not my term but for easy understanding I say it, she was mocha skinned and beautiful) I loved her very dearly up till the point she cheated on me, and stole 50k from me. At that point I divorced her as soon as I could. Now I do not think because her heritage she robbed my poor unknowing white boy self. That is absurd to me, she took advantage of my kindness not because of my heritage but because I am good guy. The next girl I dated was dark skinned and the next girl I will hopefully date is light skinned (we see how that works). I have no issues with woman of my race, but my mind looks at a petite dark skinned woman and says WOW. It does not say the same thing about white girls. I agree interracial relations are very hard and I have been through a lot of racism based on my dating preferences. And I would say its 40% white people being racist and 60% black people. The white are more verbal about their disgust for me (which has lead to me knocking people around when I was younger and not so calm and witty), but the black side just tends to stare, whisper, and point. Like for some reason I don't see them criticizing me or my date for what we are doing. I say to one and ALL, I am a Me and I don't care what you think about me. I will always be attracted to woman with brown skin of some sort. If you don't like that, fine keep your thoughts and words to yourself. And I would have to physically abuse your body.Reply to this comment

Here is one for you. I love men. Just because they happen to be white most of the time does take away from their manhood. I love white men because they make me feel special, loved and protected. I don't have to be more than I am. Black men are fine specimens too, but they just don't turn me on. It's chemistry. Even in my older years I still find white men fine fine fine. I have dated white men most of my life, was married to one for over 20 years and am looking for another one. To tell you the truth I never felt embarrassed or threatened or intimidated by black people who did not feel comfortable with me having a white partner. I think my husband noticed more than I did, frankly I never cared what anyone thought. I think we do ourselves an injustice by shying away from what could be very good for us because someone might no like it. so ladies I say, if you like white men go for it, enjoy them and keep on stepping.Reply to this comment

Why do we have to date black men or you black guys feel threatened. What, you want to have all this good stuff just for youselves? Grow up guys! My dating a white man does not make any statement about you. I don't know you. My skin color does make me the property of every black man on the planet. Why you trying to claim all of us as yours? My dating preference does not make you a black man less than a man for somebody. Don't place so much into other people's actions and do you. This is going to be an interracial world, boundaries are falling everywhere and those of us who are not comfortable with it will be like the dinasour, extinct, or living a a cave while we grind our teeth in frustration. Hope this helps. :)Reply to this comment

I've read all of your comments, wasn't going to say anything until I read dennison2000's post. As amature black senior, I've dated a lot of black men. It wasn't until I turned 55 when I realized that the mature black male only wants to date the sexy young Beyonce type. They either can deal or handle a mature black sexy senior. ha ha So, unless I wanted to stay @ home, watching TV while dateless, I had to expand my horizons. I had previously dated a white male, who by the way was more black than me, and wanted to see how it was now. Since then, I've dated several white men and find they are more respectful, affectionate, and caring of the black women. Most of them don't care about age or a full-figured women. They want to deal with an intelligent women. I just happen to be black. Don't get me wrong though. Some of them are looking for that fantasy of going to bed with a black women (discretely). That is a turn off. I'm looking for that special someone who wants me for me, who wants to be in a relationship with a very special unusual women who would make him proud.Reply to this comment

I don't think so. I disagree with you. Sometimes it is just where you are raised. I was raised in Washington and when I go to visit my sister they say I talk white. Black men and women do. I think it is more about wanting someone who accepts you. We go though enough stereotyping just being black, we shouldn't have to justify how we talk, what we eat, music we like.........etc to be accepted. And some black men go though it as well not being accepted for having no swagger. And some of these women date both and just have had better luck with other races. Some people might date for that reason, just like some black men date for the white trophy wife. But lets not pretend that we don't judge each other hard and make all kind of judgements on each other from some simple things as how we decide to do our hair. There is a variety of black people so who is to say what is being black or acting black especially if the stereotype is negative.Reply to this comment

I do agree with Chucky1978...love is a choice. If you can fall IN love you can fall OUT of love...and many couples go through times where they fall out of love over the years. Thats why marriage is a major committment. Its a choice to love even when you're not 'feeling' it. As for denilson2000, I have to say, I'm very sorry you feel this way. You seem to be very angry or possibly have been hurt deeply and for that I'm sorry. However, the blanket statements you are making are exactly the things you hate. I looked at your profile and I wouldn't date you because you have a bad attitude and are an atheist. People make judgements every day about who they are attracted to or what they like. Its and INDIVIDUAL preference that we all should embrace. I love to see black women with white men. I feel like human race is starting to blend as one. So go for it my sistas of color have our white men. They are great. I'll trade you for yours. ;) Even though I find that many black men are not marriage minded and I am;I will find my black prince charming one day and live out my dream of a wonderfully happy marriage.

Healing his neck isn't the only problem Tiger Woods faces. After his series of pop-ups and minimalist drives at The Players Championship he also needs someone to patch his swing back together.
With Hank Haney having resigned as Tiger's swing coach the New York Times suggests the frontrunner may be little-known Sean Foley, who is based in Orlando, near Woods' home.
Foley coaches two young PGA Tour players who are friendly with Woods, Sean O'Hair and Hunter Mahan. Foley also drew attention when he followed those two pupils as they played a practice round with Woods at the TPC.
At the time, Foley downplayed any thoughts he was headed into Woods' camp, telling the Times, "I have not talked to Tiger about coaching in any form whatsoever."
Also possibly in the mix is Billy Harmon, which would make for a good story. Billy's brother Butch is Tiger's former coach, but moved on to Phil Mickelson after an unhappy split with Woods. Billy Harmon is said to be funny and a quipster, and who wouldn't like to see a little joy return to Tiger's game?

I have 300 cupcakes ready to be filled and frosted - but they are for an event on Saturday morning. When should I fill and frost (with a buttercream) these cupcakes to make sure they are done in time, but without the filling making them soggy?
What are you filling with? If your filling will freeze well, I'd fill now, freeze until early Saturday morning, ice and deliver!

Todays Metrosexual Men Are Out
Todays metrosexual men take pride in their appearance and the polished image they take into their business world and personal life.
Mentioning the word metrosexual men just a few years ago would have definitely caused some confusion and possibly may have some angered people.
Let's just say it would have raised a few eyebrows. However, today the word metrosexual is a well-known word that is known nearly worldwide. It has become somewhat of a phenomenon, so let's find out all about what this is.
When the term metrosexual was first used it was used to describe a heterosexual man who acted or behaved like he was homosexual or bisexual. This was a widespread way to describe a man, and it was not used very often.
However, today it is used much more often with a more refined meaning. Today it is not just a word used to describe a man, it is more than that. Metrosexual is now a lifestyle that is celebrated by many men and women alike.
The word is also not used to simply describe a man that behaves homosexual or bisexual. A metrosexual man is simply a man who embraces and accepts his feminine side and takes care in his appearance.
Your boyfriend or husband might take care in his appearance and care about the way he looks, but that does not necessarily mean that he is metrosexual. There is actually a difference.
The True Metrosexual Male
A man who cares about his appearance is just that. But a man who goes over the top about his appearance, his clothing, and his material possessions is definitely a metrosexual.
It even goes into the man's lifestyle as far as fitness, eating well and other lifestyle choices that might be involved.
A lot of metrosexuals will spend more money on quality clothing for their wardrobe, getting their hair cut and colored on a regular basis, getting manicures and pedicures on a regular basis, and possibly even some light tanning in tanning salons. Most metrosexuals will try to use a bronzer that will not harm their skin, though.
Are We Comfortable With Metrosexual Yet?
The term metrosexual still needs to be used with care, as some men do not like to be labeled with that word.
Sure, a man might get manicures, or pedicures, or regular haircuts, or spend more time in the mirror than usual, or even have a better wardrobe than their girlfriends.
This does not necessarily mean that he is a metrosexual man, because he only does one or two of these things.
Are You A Metrosexual Man?
If you are wondering if you might be a true metrosexual there is a simple way of finding out for sure. Take a look around you and your home.
Do you spend a lot of time finding the best clothing and accessories for your wardrobe? Are your nails always cleanly manicured and taken care of?
Do you always have and use the best skin care and hair care products? Do you make sure that you only dine at the finest restaurants and shop at the best stores?
Do you have a hairstylist that knows you by name, or even the whole salon knows you be name? If all or most of the above questions had you nodding yes you just may be one of todays metrosexual men.
