| Would you have a relationship outside your race?
Posted: 1/28/2011 11:01:33 PM | Heck.. it adds more colours to your life, accepts differences and learn other cultures.
How can you easily justify a couple of a same race would be everlasting than that of a different race?
You live in Australia, you live in a multicultural land. Was there before you were born, it still is... and will always be. | |

Posted: 1/29/2011 7:16:29 PM | To answer OP's question
Would you date or marry someone outside of your race - the answer is yes to a date but a resounding no to marriage. I agree with richbloke (msg 27) on both counts. I have formed close friendships with people from other cultures/races but I'm simply not attracted physically to them. And the stats do support richbloke's assertions re success rates.
Perhaps successful relationships may increase from this generation onwards because of the more open attitudes of our young. I think the cultural values instilled in those of my generation are too strong to overcome.
[...could it be because you might be ashamed or ostracized by your family/ or friends]
Not in my case - couldn't give a tinkers what anyone thinks. Just happened to be attracted by big muscly men with smooth white skin (note to self - must encourage that lawn-mowing man to take more breaks and flex his muscles outside my bedroom window when he next calls . . .)
My next door neighbour, a Lebanese girl, married a black African American. 20 years down the track, they're still married and have made it work. But she's had a tough road to trek - ostracized by family in early years, has lost most of her friends who couldn't stand him - but that's more a reflection of his social upbringing, I think.
Big topic, too easy to generalise.

In terms of relationships outside of the species, I thought the (fictional) Catteni sounded pretty good, and rishathra sounds quite fascinating under the right circumstances. | |

Posted: 3/25/2011 6:25:43 AM | Yes I would as I cannot seem to get a date within my race, oops I tell a lie as the last woman I did ask for a date gave her answer of yes we could have a date and when I asked when her reponse was the 12th,
I asked 12th of when and she said the 12 th of never.
Yes I know you are all saying that you saw the punchline coming.

Posted: 7/7/2011 2:26:54 PM | I have dated several people of various ethnicities. There has never been an issue regarding this. No unique challenges were faced with any of these. I benefited by learning limited amounts of various languages.
I am lucky to have had a diverse upbringing, experiencing a lot of various culture prior to my relationships; however other benefits one may experience could include increased cultural awareness, introduction of new styles of cooking/foods, different perspectives on life | |

Posted: 7/18/2011 3:56:39 AM | I'm asian and my current partner's caucasian. Thing is, it was never really a race issue for him and he's never ever mentioned about our race difference. I think that what keeps us together is our ability to over look the small little differences and love each other as human beings. We both live in Melbourne.
I think it does matter in asian culture as asian families are more strict and judgemental but in Australia, people are more accepting. | |

Posted: 7/21/2011 5:55:36 AM | Hi,
For me it depends on the person concerned in N Z we have had mixed race.s for 150 years , & most would prefer thier own colour of cause yet over the years , i have many friends who are not of our race yet that would not stop me from accepting others ,
In fact i would have married some one who was of two mixed races that would not have stoped me then it was the distance that stoped that, ,
As to my self im from 3 mixed races so there you go . & proud of them as far as it goes .
scottish english & Prussian = slarvic . so we need to look at our selfs first. .

Posted: 8/31/2011 11:43:07 PM | | I've always had to date outside my race, because i'm a mix and can't really say i have a race of my own. Mum is English, Dad is West Indian, i was born in New York and now i'm married to an Italian... I think the only people i would have completely disregarded as potential partners are the guys whose cultural beliefs put women in a subservient role. | |

Posted: 9/2/2011 8:13:09 AM | My late wife (died suddenly 3 months ago) was Japanese (I'm Anglo-Australian). I miss her every day. The dozen years we had together were sometimes turbulent, but she adored me the whole time, as I did her, and you can withstand a whole lot with such a happy home life.
I have had an abiding interest in Asian people and cultures since the age of 6, when Marine Boy and Kimba captured my attention.
I love women of all races, and intend to continue to. | |

Posted: 9/10/2011 11:26:02 AM | I have no problem with dating a woman who isn't white. So far in my life, I have only dated white women, but that is largely because we have a very white society here in Bendigo. There aren't that many non-white people, let alone ones who are around my age range and I am attracted to.
Basically, I tend to find white women more appealing to me, but with that said, there are women from other races (African-American, Asian, etc) who I think are hot as well. I think at the end of the day, as long as both people are attracted to each other, and their social/cultural values and beliefs are able to mesh together, then I see no problem with dating someone from a different race. | |
