Thelma (Bernadette Stanis) from Good Times, Penny (Janet Jackson), Dee from What’s Happening (go ahead, admit it), Pam Greer, Whitley (Jasmine Guy), Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet), Freddie (Cree Summer). All of these ladies and more were at one time or another the 
“girlfriend” of some black (we weren’t African American then) male kid in America. For me it was definitely Penny (Janet) and Thelma (I’ve always liked older women).

The fake girlfriend has always been part of the male psyche, and today is no different.
Beyonce, Ms. Bootylicious herself, has been nominated the number one fantasy girlfriend by Askmen.com
Since I’m married now, I don’t get to play the girlfriend game anymore, but
I’ll open it up to you all. Who would be on your list?
Ladies, you can play along too. What guys do it for you? And while everyone is at it, tell us why you chose who you did.

>Thelma from Good Times ooh wee !!! Had the pleasure of meeting her once with her husband believe I actually growled at him when introduced. If i had a fantasy … and I'm here to tell you I don't have many left ( I'm 39 at this time in my life if I haven't done it I didn't want to).But if i had to admit a fantasy it would be to have Pam Grier and Janet Jackson ( Charlene from Different Strokes incarnation) butt naked in front of an ATM giving me money… it's kinda pimp kinda freaky

>LOL@ Courtney. I think I may be close to the oldest in here. Now I have to admit this was before I realized Black was beautiful but my crush was on Barbara Eden as Jeannie. I think I was about 8 years old when that started coming on and I was hooked immediately. Shyt she was fine and could blink and take me out of my miserable 8-year old existence — it was love. Then a few years later, Julia (Diahann Carroll) came on the scene and I wanted her to be my momma — hey older women had it going on.

>People use to tell her that all the time, it's no big deal. When I say crush, I just mean I thought they were "nice". I don't go overboard with it. Never put up posters of anyone, other than Vanity from Vanity 6, so it was just an admiration of beauty. My wife has grown out of that look anyway, she just looks like her beautiful self.

>I still masturbate to Sister, Sister. Oh, come on! I meant when they were older…for the love of Pete.Seriously, when I was a kid, it was Cher on The Sonny and Cher show. Man did she have some revealing outfits. Thelma was definitely on the list as was, I shit you not, Kristy McNichol from Family. I'm sorry, I was a kid and I thought she was hot. Is that wrong? Also, Tootie in the later years of…can't even remember the name of the show. And I remember days of watching Cosby only to see Lisa Bonet. Who didn't want to bone Bonet? Wow. When Angel Heart came to the theater, I came in the theater. Sorry.It's incredibly sad that I will still check Sister Sister to see if it's in their later years. It's not that I'm a horndog for them, it's that they look strikingly like my ex-wife and I miss her. It's kind of the only way to see her in a strange, Norman Bates kind of way.
