| | Interracial DatingPage 3 of 7 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) | I don't care about color or culture - only if they are good people with morals and values. I know people of all color that are the same and know those that have the undesirable personality traits that usually go along with color from the way they were raised. This includes white people.
I've dated more Hispanic men then white. Just seem to attract them more then my own color. | |

Posted: 4/18/2012 8:42:40 PM | | I have no issue with interracial dating, but I have never dated anyone outside of my 'race' either. I've only been on POF for a few days now so I haven't noticed any issues with men of other 'races' not sending me messages...but I will say if someone isn't interested in you because of your skin color, you shouldn't let their ignorance affect you. | |

Being native American/Black in America is racist in it self. We all should consider if they have spiritual connections. | |

Posted: 4/23/2012 10:01:31 AM | To be honest the colour of someones skin can either be attractive to someone or not. We can all go on about how its whats under the skin that counts and not how someone looks. The fact is though that we have all dated or been in relationships with people that our friends dont find physically attractive. That may be because of their height, weight or yes skin colour. There are enough people on here who state categorically that they dont want to date people who are too thin, too fat or of a particular culture or colour. However in order not to come across offensive they disguise it with "Politically correct" wording.
That does not mean they are heightist, weightist or racist it just means they have a preference. Some people are attracted by blonde haired blue eyed skinny people, others are attracted by dusky skinned, dark haired, dark eyed people and others really dont have a preference.
I wouldnt date a person from a culture and religion that was very important to that person but far different than mine. Not because I have a problem with it but simply because there maybe be many things I like to do and share with someone that may not fit in with their culture. | |

You should say that doesn't NECESSARILY mean...because there are some bigoted people on here. No two ways about that. But it's a waste of time trying to convince someone when they already have a myopic physical preference. | |

Posted: 4/23/2012 11:42:22 AM | | I agree with you there perhaps that word needed to be added so call it done but I think having specific preferences isn't myopic. Ask any happy couple if there was one thing they could change about their partners appearance and we both know they will find one :) | |

Posted: 4/27/2012 8:55:09 PM | | It is when the person's rationale IS myopic. I didn't say that applied to everyone with a preference. But there ARE people and in every facet of life who have narrow views of others based on race/ethnicity. The only thing worse than that are the people who are insistence it isn't the case. | |

Posted: 4/30/2012 9:24:42 AM | | Well I'm biracial, black and white and prefer to date white or hispanic men. :) I am just more attracted to them physically and mentally. | |

Posted: 4/30/2012 2:57:10 PM | | Physically, fine. Mentally...that's an inference that all black men are the same. Or that we act 'less than' mentally. Another insidious generalization. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 10:40:48 AM | What we mean by our skin color is "wrong" is that it's making people think we're a race we're not, and as such, an entire culture, education, upbringing and morality we're NOT, and attracting the kinds of people we don't need, want, or deserve. That's what we mean by "wrong," BTW. I have to put my entire biography up on every website just to keep uneducated, illiterate ghetto trash thugs off of me. That's what we mean by our skin color is "wrong." It's attracting the wrong kinds of people. A Yale graduate and Johns Hopkins student who likes the opera, classical music, ice skating, science, science fiction, has a math teaching credential, and knows Latin, French, and German, shouldn't be attracting only high school dropout thugs who can't spell or compose a sentence, but yet, that's what happens when they get a look at my skin color.
That's what we mean by "wrong" skin color. | |

Posted: 5/2/2012 6:21:34 AM | I haven't read all of the responses, but many...I have no problem with interracial dating. To me, what is important is what's inside, who the person is and do we get along.
Unfortunately, I haven't been asked out by a white man in over a year. I don't know why. As another poster said "black men don't get me", I guess white men just don't understand me...who knows? But I look at it as their loss! There are enough intelligent, fun, kind and loving men of other races who find me attractive. People all have preferences and I'm good with that.
Choctaw1990:
I'm sorry that you have to deal with that BS...I know several men who would probably love you, have the same interests as you and think you are the RIGHT skin color. It's all in perception and people generalize. | |

Posted: 5/6/2012 6:34:32 PM | While I don't rule anyone out, sadly, I am much more attracted to white men and that hasn't worked out very well for me on here. While I get enough messages from men to keep me busy, I very rarely get responses from the men I initiate contact with. =(
I was married for 13 years to my "type" and that obviously didn't work out; I'm much heavier than I used to be and being a single mom certainly doesn't play in my favor as far dating goes either, but I'm still hoping to find someone who sets off that spark in me, no matter what color he is.
But yeah, I'd be lying if I didn't admit a tall, smart, attractive white guy can make my heart flutter the way no one else can... I've just always been like that. And I've almost grown up enough to stop feeling like I need to apologize for it. | |

Posted: 5/9/2012 3:39:13 PM | Most white women I've seen here in my age group are unwilling to date men of a dark skin color, in the military and below a certain hieght. That's why my headline is what it is.
The vast majority of women I've dated from here have been black (or very dark skinned).
I actually endorse women putting their preferred ethnicity in their profile. It helps us actual good men (i.e. men who don't message everything with a Vajajay) manage our time better. | |

Posted: 5/12/2012 11:03:45 PM | | I think Interracial dating is great but most of the men I have dated have been black enven though I am most attracted to white men because I haven't found very many white men that like plus size black women. I think you look for what you are attracted to, no matter who it is. | |

Posted: 5/27/2012 2:52:11 AM | | Being from Brazil where interracial dating is super common, I have struggled in the US because it seems like every race sticks with it's own for some sort of keeping identity. I'm brown European but for some reason I look black, or mixed(black and white). I the south it used to be more complicated but here in California people are more open minded and don't look at interracial dating as an issue. | |

Posted: 5/27/2012 6:07:53 AM | I hate to say this but I have lived in Brasil and there is also a fair amount of racial prejudice in Brasil. Yes, there is more interacial dating and a lot of people are clearly from mixed race background, but it does exist.
"Tem gente que nao gostam de criolos ou pretos, vc tem que admitir"
Everyboday has their preference. I have lived in California for 30 years. I have met girls who liked my dark skin, others who flat out told me they did not date Latinos, and everything in between. One of my GF's mom told her that I was too swarthy. I kind liked that comment. My ex-fiancee was German-American from the Mid west and would not date blacks. One GF told me she could not marry me because her children would not be blond. My sister married a white Caucasian and has two tow heads (very blonde) and one brunette. My sister is much lighter skinned, but still ran into the situation in San Diego, where a woman asked her if those were really her children, What nerve some people have. | |

Thank you. I think it should be mandatory to be put on their profile. I personally don't trip on it...and actually respect the women more if they say that they don't like black dudes or short dudes or in the military up front. Funny cuz I'm all three-blk, short, and in the military. lmfao!!!!! | |

Posted: 5/29/2012 6:22:01 PM | I agree, it's good for people to put their preferences on their profile. It would make life easier for most in their search.
I don't look at it myself as anything racial. It's more about preferences in attraction and a connection. I can appreciate a good looking guy who has blonde or red hair or blue eyes yet I have always been attracted to a man with dark hair and brown or green eyes. And yes, I do like someone who is taller than I am because it feels nice to fit comfortably in his arms. Shallow? I don't think so, it's what I find attractive, just like when searching for colors of paint for the walls of your home, or carpet, or a car. Your preference, is your preference.
I also know it's about what's on the inside that counts, and as we all age, we aren't as physically attractive as we may have been in our younger years so we need to focus on the inside for long term. Personality is what first captures my attention. Confidence, character, energy, kindness, charm, a great smile, a great conversation, and someone who is educated enough to carry on an engaging conversation will always captivate and hold my attention. We all have preferences that we find attractive and shouldn't have to be called racist if we don't find a particular feature of someone's appearance as attractive as others. Not every person who appears to be physically attractive is a right match either. You have to go deeper to learn more about them. Physical attraction is cool, but not always the best way of seeking a partner. I just don't see this as being racist, for me... I can only speak for myself though. | |
