AMBW Relationships - Making Them Last

My perspective on what makes AMBW relationships last. This video is dedicated to anyone who is not confident that they can make such a relationship work in their life.

Self-Reflection Questions
1. Do you respect yourself? Do you care for yourself?
2. Do you know what you are looking for in a relationship? How much effort are you willing to put into making it successful?
3. Are you willing to better understand and embrace your partner's native language?
4. Are you willing to make the first move should the situation require it?
5. What does family mean to you? What type of family do you envision yourself having?

***Over half of asians live in just 3 states - Hawaii, California, Washington (New York is distant 4th).
***55% of blacks live in the south vs 19% of asians
***Over 3/5ths of blacks live in New York, California, Texas, Florida, and Georgia (from highest to lowest population).

@cbthrockarefaces Good question. If anyone else can shed light on this, that'd be great.

Lately, I have been researching info and language Mandarin on China. I am African American in college. I love him much! So what do you think about this? :)

[icysparks2007]

@TKUYG That's awesome to hear. I wish you both the best :D

ok there s a few things i d like to ask u, this asian men + black women attraction, i mean all the talk, does it apply only to african american women or black women in general, including black women who havent grown up in the west (becuz i kno african women have a different mentalities and cultures)? and do u think asian men who have grown up in the west rather than in asian countries r more open-minded?

[icysparks2007]

@smukase This attraction applies to blacks and asians of all cultures, although the facts I presented in this video refer to americanized ones. Regarding interracial dating, I'd say asian men are more openminded in the west than in the east, but this may change once more black female representation exists in asian countries.

@icysparks2007 hi im a british black guy from england, and i am thinking about dating a japanese girl, she is kinda shy so i don't know how to approach her. I love the japanese culture i.e. i draw manga, listen to japanese rock (wino best band ever) but i still don't know how to approach her, any tips? i would appreciate the help.

I guess you are coming from your own experience, but we shouldn't assume every Asian man a girl meets will be college educated and the black woman will not be. Although your position is probable in some geographical areas, it isn't always the case. I think AMBW relationships should start by reaching out to one another with the mutual values we already have, not manufacturing values for the sake of meeting someone. It should be an organic, natural thing :)
