I'm not sure I actually agree with your general premise.
I don't know that Black or Latino men are more upfront than white or Asian men. I think a certain type of man is more upfront regardless of race. Of course, since I'm neither Latino, white, or Asian, I can't speak authoritatively and only on my personal observations (much as I'm guessing your question was based upon).
There are certain types of men who are going to be straight up and to the point about what they want. Basically, the kinds of guys who aren't worried about losing out on opportunity because they know more exist, and in abundance. That tidbit of knowledge and their already confident attitude about their chances (we like to call it swagger) means that they can tell you what they're looking for (be it sex, relationships, etc) because life is just a game and they are holding the cards. They know that you can't win if you don't play. So they play, and play hard.
On the other end of the spectrum, you have guys who are less likely to be straight up so as not to ruin the possibility of whatever it is they are searching for to begin with. Again, none of these factors are race specific, its alpha versus beta male stuff. It's all psychology.
Now perhaps what has happened is that you've frequented or dealt specifically with Black males of the alpha variety and come across white or Asian males who might be less alpha than the Black dudes.
All men have extreme egos and hate rejection, but we've dealt with it so much in regards to women we get used to it, or at least don't take it as personal (not always, taking rejection personal is how stalkers are born). But some of those alpha males have nothing to lose because they know that women are a dime a dozen, at least in their world.
I'm sure there are legions of white males (probably very specifically athletes and BMOC type of guys) who are very upfront about what they want because they don't have time to play games unless the odds working in their favor are much better than 50/50.
So there you go. It's not a race thing. It's a man thing.
I'm a white woman, and while I'll admit it's probably just coincidence I have only ever been randomly hit on by black men. I've dated white men black men and Hispanic men, but with white and hispanic men I knew them a long time before they confessed feelings and asked me out. Just about any day I wear tight pants or heels I get hit on by a black man that I've never met before. It leads one to one of three conclusions, that this trend is purely chance, that I'm only THAT attractive (attractive enought to warrant hitting on without ever meeting) to black men, or for whatever cultural reason backmen are alpha more often then other races.
I've lived in a lot of different countries around the world and I have been (un?)lucky enough to have experienced the international dating arena. I know every man is different but I definitely think that culture/country of origin can influence the way a man is with a woman, what kind of woman they go for and how they behave in a relationship. At the moment my bf is Italian/Argentinean and was more so upfront about his desires (!), intentions and feelings towards me than any other guy I've met. He is very openly affectionate, which is considered very "unmanly" by many of my russian male friends and family. In Scandinavia, also, men are as cold as the winters when it comes to dating and in any bid to be romantic. In the UK I find men a bit respectful, polite even but not as romantically exciting as the Italians. For me a frenchman is too opinionated and entitled, and I have never taken one seriously enough to date. Croatians and Israelis are too too eager and can have me gasping for air or an emergency exit within 30 minutes in their company. These are merely my own findings but they are interesting observations to make, especially among friends. We sometimes often find ourselves finding some truth in stereotypes saying things like "Cedric he cheated on Inga, did you hear?".."Ah but he is a French? What did she expect?"...but at the end of the day I know every man is different and we shouldn't hold too much weight towards stereotypes and generalisations, even if it can't be helped.
Black men are more likely to approach a woman on the street randomly. It's the truth. They are way more forward. Not saying there aren't any shy Black guys, just saying they are more likely to holla and I've had it happen many, many, many, MANY times. With white men, it's always a confession after some time in my experience. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I just think Black men are way more aggressive.
I think that's why Black women get a bad rep or seem unapproachable. We're always fending off our male counterparts lol
You're assuming that's the explanation is an Alpha-male issue, but I think there are WAY more variables than that. First of all, we seem to be assuming that we're talking about random dudes hitting on you, which is only one possible scenario. She could be asking about a boyfriend- some (apparently black) men are more up-front about what they want in a relationship, what they like in bed, what they see in their future, etc.
But even assuming we are talking about randoms, there are loads of other reasons why guys might not be "up-front", including but not limited to:
-politeness
-being in a relationship
-being a co-worker or in some other situation that would make it awkward or inappropriate
-being in the company of others who would make the situation in some way problematic
-having been burned in the past and not wishing to repeat the experience
-thinking he's too good for you
-thinking you're too good for him
-thinking you have a boyfriend
-realizing you don't feel the same way
-having personal issues
-not looking to date anyone, even if they're attracted to you
-pretending to be gay
-under government orders
-too broke
-actually a Cylon
-not wanting to be that douchebag that ruins another person's night by treating her like a fresh cut of veal for sale at the meat market
-sober
As for why different men are different, it could be cultural, social, biological, or even (gasp) individual.
There's a bar in my area that caters to the frat boy set from UofT. If I hung out there (or really just about everywhere in the area), I'd probably think that all white boys were drunken assholes who hit on anything that moves, just because that describes the type of guy I tend to encounter. If I lived near a brothel in Chinatown, I'd think that all Chinese men were just looking for hookers.
Everybody tends to attract a certain type of guy, for some reason. Some girls are always getting crushed on by shy nerds, and some girls are creep magnets. For some reason, the asker attracts forward (and predominantly black) males. Instead of making racial and gendered generalizations, maybe she should look at the common factor- her- and extrapolate from there. Personally, I tend to get secretly crushed on by guys who eventually break down and confess that they think they're in love with me (mostly white, but that's probably because they're the majority in this city). It's not that white men all love to keep their affections secret- something about me obviously does not invite a straight-forward asking out, so dudes crush in silence.
Maybe it's the fact that you respond positively to these guys' advances. You don't see it as rude (whereas I might), but as refreshingly direct. Maybe something about you gives confidence to men who are otherwise in a minority, a chance to be brash. Something about you attracts a certain type of guy. If you don't like it, figure out what you're doing and stop it. But if you're into it, everyone wins.
Actually a cylon! Ha!
Maybe it's just the guys you are picking.
I am latina, and I can tell you that I find the majority of hispanic and black men to be very disrespectful in the way they approach me. White men on the other hand are so polite. Black and hispanic men will just grab you or say somehting sexual without any regard of how that makes a girl feel. White men will try to find a way to actually have a conversation and make you feel comfortable. I know it may sound harsh, but that is what I have learned in my 27 years of being a woman. I have never ever had a white man come up to me and say "Damn baby I would love to hit that tonight." Never. Ever. But I barely go a week with out being called Mami or Chula by some random minority at the bus stop.
@MARY
Maybe true.... But where do you live and where do you encounter these sort of black and hispanic males. It's most likely the type of black and hispanic men you attract or be around. Maybe you should try to a different type of environment not just the hood or ghetto.
I'm a girl...I do the same thing! haha not sure if that's good...I mean about being upfront...because I also do not have time to play games.
