But it is blown way out of proportion. I deliberately posted the word myth into the equation for more answers, because this is all subjective and based on what you've seen. I have seen a lot of old white women with young black men and fat white women with black men. I sometimes ask myself, "WTf is wrong with these guys", then I quickly remind myself that beauty is subjective. Though, from my research I've found that many of these women see black men as a last choice because they've been rejected by men of their own race.
