This question comes from Paula in Washington DC. She writes,

QUESTION:  Hi Trey, I love your work!  I’m a white girl, and I have a question about black guys.   I am very happy with my body, and I like to believe that I have an athletic build.  Anyhow, for whatever reason – a lot of black men find me attractive.  They keep telling me that it’s because I have a “fat ass.”  I don’t know any woman who would be flattered by having any part of her body be called “fat,” but they insist that it’s a compliment.  What’s up with that?  I’ve never been with a black guy before, but since I’m not having much luck with white guys, I think I might try.

TREY SAY: Paula, although I haven’t seen your “fat ass,” I’m assuming that it’s a thing of beauty, and most white guys just aren’t mentally equipped (or physically equipped) to deal with it.  For example, let’s look at the kind of women who most white dudes find attractive nowadays;  the Keira Knightley, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan types.  You could get any 12-year old white boy off the street, put a wig and some makeup on him, and he’d look like any of those three broads.  No ass, no rack, and no curves to speak of.

Black men love a nice ass.  Why?  Hell if I know.  We just do.  I wish I had something witty and/or funny to say here, but I don’t.

So you haven’t been with a black man before, huh?  Just so you know, many black men will do sh*t to you in bed that we’d never try with a black woman.  Why?  Because most black women would beat the piss out of us if we even thought about doing the stuff most of us pull out on white chicks.  And I’m talking freaky stuff; not that PG-13 hair-pulling, ass-smacking crap, either.  Just be prepared to be tossed around the room like a rag doll and to grab your ankles more often than a pilates instructor and you’ll be fine.  Most importantly, there would be a better chance of Senator McCain and George Lopez spending a romantic vacation together in Arizona before you’d even consider dating a white guy again.  I just hope your parents are cool with having Jaqwan and LaShaquea as their grandkids instead of Bradley and Paige.  Let me know how that works out for you.
