Pls don’t yell at or fight with me I’m just asking an honest question. Why is it that Latinas are seen as “spicy,” but black women are “aggressive” to you guys? I know some guys say it’s unattractive regardless, but still. Ik the double standard exists

All other things equal, by and large, men don’t appreciate bitchiness from anyone, regardless of race, and kindness will serve better for most of us. BUT we’re also marginally more willing to tolerate/romanticize unpleasant behavior from people we’re attracted to, and from your perspective, it looks like you’ve heard from more men who are into latinas than into black women

Not an answer for all cases, but I think on average latinas are just small- smaller than the average black girl. So the same aggression is seen as kinda comical in some latinas that would be taken more seriously in some black girls

I mean personally I see it as aggressive from both, spicy is only if there’s a playful note to it

I think it's the perception that Latinas are more likely to be aggressive (not necessarily physically), but also very mother like and make you some bomb ass food afterwards.

I’ll have you know I’m actually a manchild with unresolved self-love issues stemming from childhood emotional neglect. So I believe in the equality of all colors and creeds of women being mean to me specifically; it’s not a gender issue it’s……just me

And that’s 100% fair. But for many other guys it seems like there’s a double standard. As if it’s only playful and sexy when Latinas do it, but not black women. Like what makes the difference yk?

Yeah sad to say I think this is one of those cases when the simplest straightforward answer is the correct one : /

Oh, and works cited: I dated a black woman and a Latina each. Both were kind of nasty at times. Both were smoking hot. I didn’t find the tempermentality any more endearing from the Latina. But right hand to God, if someone less than gorgeous tried to treat me that way, I wouldnt put up with it for a second & no one else would either. Notice: you never see an ugly/avg person, latin or otherwise acting out of pocket and getting to be “spicy”. No, if ur ugly AND mean, ur not spicy, youre just mean
