"black women: does a certain type of man approach you based on your hair ..."
Tue Jan-20-15 03:52 AM by Deadzombie

          

examples:

when you have straight weave, more suits and lost-boys approach you.
when you wear kinky twists, you get all dashikis.

do you notice a difference at all?

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

when my hair was straight I got regular (lol) black dudes hitting on me

when I had long fake braids I got a few wannabe thug types

when I had short locs the only dudes checking for me were white

when they were medium length I got a lot of rasta dudes and a few Filipinos
..now that they are long I get rastas but the kind that have multiple babymommas and want to add me to their roster

I know this coffee shop down the street, maybe we can go there and talk, build, and get to know one another.

Back in the 90s, if I saw a chick with locs or an afro, I knew there was a high chance of me getting that number. Also knew that she'd understand certain "boho" ways that I had, and it was all good. It really made street hollering and hollering in general much easier because how we looked meant something during a time when none of that shit was "cool."


Just something that these new folks don't experience and won't "get."

Walk into a room and 2 bohos would have that gravitational pull towards each other and you knew what you were getting.

No one im never interested in.

But I will say straight hair = the most hollas.

As far as the type of man there really isn't much of difference, they're almost always chunky and middle aged.

I bet all the guys in shape who are straight have to beat women AND men off with a stick.

When I had relaxed hair, it was always dudes from up "norf" who looked
like they smoked all day or, for some reason, chunky southern dudes.

When I had a curly fro, it was older black men of all types.

When I wore braids, it was usually younger black men of all types -- except what I wanted, lol.

Now that I've cut ALL my hair off, men look and may even say something but rarely approach.


White men don't seem to care about my hair, although the hollas increased as soon as I started transitioning to natural.

They don't let a nap, a braid, nor a perm slow em down.


White men however only approach me when I'm natural.

I have noticed the bolder my hairstyle the more aggressive, and confident the guy is that tries to holla.

although I never know how to respond

I go back and forth between a smile or saying 'yup!' I believe both are the incorrect responses

in the 90's, hair was a huge part of what determined how I approached a chick IF it was a sista. All other chicks had to get felt out through a bit of convo but if I saw a sista rockin the curly natural and linen she got hollered at differently than the chick with bone straight hair w/blond streaks and some Luke dancer shit on.

was the increase of white hollas

they're mostly greying inked up hipster dudes.

I guess because I've started to let my greys really come in without fussing about coloring them they feel more comfortable.

black dudes always call me sista or queen. Kinda annoying

the funniest holla was from a trap dude who was like "I like older ladies. can you retwist my "dreads"?



at the end of the day, though...
