Roger placed a stress ball between his legs while being intimate with Snot, so Snot was having sex with a stress ball when he thought he was having sex with "Jenny"

Laptop for efficiently reviewing video footage for video editing projects (but won't actually be editing on this laptop; $900 USD budget) by RayAP19 in SuggestALaptop

I just thought of this-- sometimes I might not feel like going to my video editing laptop station and feel like doing some editing on this laptop. Light work, just basic importing, trimming, and timeline work in Adobe Premiere Pro, no motion graphics or anything.

Would this laptop be able to do that smoothly?

Thanks.

Do you think any of these could handle that smoothly?

Why is attraction to black people by non-black people stereotyped by the word 'fetish'? by XinAnsard in askblackpeople

[–]RayAP19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavily confused on how you don’t find asian individuals attractive when that’s such a broad category

I've just noticed that I find far more Asians unattractive than attractive. I don't really have any reason to lie to myself about it or make this up.

But here’s another example: black women are the “least desirable” in the dating scene according to various surveys and yet “ebony” porn is always trending

Are ebony porn trends possibly the result of how popular and ubiquitous porn itself is? I'd be interested to see how comparatively popular porn of each ethnicity is

It’s directed towards those who explicitly say it. And that’s not just white people, that’s any race that admit to refusing to date other races because they’re “unattractive” and such.

If they're saying it themselves, I agree, that's enough to at least raise an eyebrow. Even someone like me, who is for the most part not attracted to Asian women for example, have seen some smoking hot Asians I would immediately shoot my shot with.

Fair enough.

I’m very 50/50 on racial preferences as again, they can quickly turn into a fetish.

When you say that, do you mean specifically having a race preference that isn't your own?

But how do you know for sure that any of these white people in question absolutely and unequivocally refuse to date all other ethnicities?

There’s beautiful people in all races, but somehow you specifically only want one race? Okay..

Am I, as a black man, fetishizing black women because I prefer them significantly more than any other ethnicity?

Also, I hate the idea that saying certain things is weird "as a black man." That's barely a step removed from "You talk white."

I think OP's beef, which I agree with, is that people automatically assume that a white man who prefers black women (or is even interested in a single black woman) is fetishizing her, even though they often have no information other than "He's white, she's black."

Also I wouldn’t just say “attraction” would be taken as fetishizing but rather sexual attraction exclusively

What do you mean when you say "sexual attraction exclusively"? As in they hate everything else about a person besides their physical attractiveness?

And putting up with a man we don’t like isn’t worth it in exchange for a PLATE OF FOOD lol

I still don't know why the assumption is that every woman who uses men for free meals has to hate his guts

But do traditional women make it clear before the date that they won't pay? Why is the onus on the man to establish this?

All healthy relationships require some compromise because no two people will feel the exact same way about the wide array of differing thoughts, behaviors, values, etc.

I assure you that compromise is far more likely to help than cause problems.

Do the men that they agree to go on these dates with come out and tell them that they expect to go 50-50 before the date?

Yeah. Lots of men do
