I love being a black woman. I love my skin tone. I love my hair texture. I love my history. Although it took a long time to get here, I appreciate the complexities and intricacies of embodying a black woman. There is nothing that makes me happier than a black man who loves his black woman unabashedly. In a world where our very existence is largely overlooked, to have a black man look at us with love and adoration is a gift.

I asked ten black men what it is they love most about black women. To my delight, their answers did not disappoint.

“To me black women embody everything right with the world. I was raised by black women, I married a black woman and some of my best friends are black women. I love black women because they are strong, caring and always know when to inject humor into the most trying situations. There is a sense of calm that black women have that I’ve always strived to obtain.”

“Why do I love black women? What is there NOT to love? A couple of sentences won’t do justice as to why I love black women, but I’ll try my best to be brief. From my grandmothers, mother, aunts and sisters in Christ, I was able to experience the beauty of unconditional love looks like from a black woman in the most beautiful, pure form. I’m talking about picking you up when you’re down, getting you on track when you’re off – getting you right when you’re wrong. It is the mental and emotional stability that a virtuous black woman can provide for a black man in an unkind world that is unique to a black woman. In a black woman I see what God meant when he said “It is not good for the man to be alone” and I am eternally grateful for that because through that very blessing I am married to a strong, beautiful black woman. I show my appreciation through the way that I love and adore her.”

“Why do I love black women?For one, I came from a Black Woman, my Mother and I love her. My entire experience and understanding of true love comes from her first.I love a Black Woman’s resilience, her commitment, and determination. Her ability to not only shoulder her burdens, but the burdens of all of her family and society, because of all of that, Black Women throughout the existence of humankind have proven themselves to be the strongest group of people on this Earth. I am what I am today because of a strong Black Woman, all of my progress and success in my life has been because of the sacrifices of a Black Woman. So the very least I can do is return that same amount of love and energy back into my own people, and that’s to give it to a Black Woman.”

“I love black women (more specifically my wife) because of their ambition, passion, and virtues. Once you earn a good black woman’s trust there is no end to the support and encouragement you will feel. Black women are some of the toughest and resilient people will you will meet while still having the ability to be nurturing, sweet, and loving. I love my black woman!”

“Black men love black women because even when we don’t ask for it, they are always our safety net. As a black man, having the privilege to be born from a black woman gives us an innate responsibility to be the best versions of ourselves. Black women are the most resilient and are never given their credit to the mainstream world. The black woman is the most influential being in the world and without them black men couldn’t exist and for that we should thank them everyday for giving us life.”

“I love black women because my first experience of love was through a black woman. The love my mother showed me was a love she showed any and everyone including my father. Whether or not they were deserving of it , that did not stop her from loving wholly and fully despite the tolls of life. That is only a strength and love that can come from a black woman. I’ve pledged my love to black women ever since.”

“I love that black women can relate and understand me as a black man better than anyone else. As I’ve grown in my own relationship one of the things ive come to value is just how precious that shared perspective can be. Having someone beside me who sees the world through a similar lense is invaluable as we both try to navigate life together. On top of the shared perspective, I love the way that black women find a way to not only show up but to show out and make their presence felt in every arena that they step into. For every corporate environment I’ve worked in I can think of at least one black woman who was unabashedly herself and who inspired me to do the same. And many times, opened doors and helped me make connections to do so. Last but definitely not least, black women are easily the most beautiful women in the world. Tall or short, light or dark, or any other differentiator in-between, black women are nothing short of art personified and I’m grateful to have been surrounded by them for my entire life.”

“I love black women’s tenacity. Their faith is unmoved and unshaken.
They have the best humor. They can hang with the guys and make you laugh about topics only we as black people can relate too. Black women provide solace for me in my worst times. Always comforting.Black women have the most attractive physique. From the gravity defying hair to their curvy thighs.There is no one on earth as loyal as a black women. Their presence is a safety net. I could never feel as safe I do with a black women, with anyone else.”

“I love the strength of black women. In every form and facet of it. I think it comes from a bad place of generational pressure but I still appreciate it for what it is. Mental strength displayed in being a leading group in education and entrepreneurship. Physical strength from all the domination that goes on in every sporting arena and hospital as these women endure child-birth often times without adequate pain medication. Lastly, emotional strength, to fight societal norms and beauty standards, to fight man children and the confused a-like. Definitely stronger than I would consider myself. I am a fan.”
