Hey.. why would you be worried about these women who are like that online? Obviously you would not want to speak to them if they are close minded. There are women who like a man for who he is not his race, skin color, or religion. There sounds like a number of women who like East Indian men..don't worry about the ones who won't chat to you...focus on the ones who will..afterall, it would probably be their loss!!! just my opinion!!

i dont have a problem dating men of any race. As long as there is a attraction im cool with it. As far as the culture being diffrent thats fine with me, you learn from each other.

OP " I am originally of East Indian deccent but have been here in the United States all my life "

1. Were you born in the U.S.? And, not left the country to return to India?
((earlier you said "those of us (like myself) who have lived here for the most part of our lives,")) -- there's a strong element of 'wishful thinking' in your posts, imo

2. Your parents are East Indian, and they raised you to follow their values, correct?

3. Have you left home / how long have you been living on your own?

While you say you're completely Americanized, I'd be a bit skeptical and so would women who'd date you about your self-opinion on this particular aspect of your perspective.

They're going to be figuring there's some carry over of your parents' viewpoints that you absorbed in the 18+ years they raised you. And perhaps some residual heritage issues reaching further back than merely your parents, but well into your grandparents and great-grandparents ancestry.

You'll need to behave consistently along the lines of the image you're wishing to project to such women, as they'll be very alert to even the smallest aspect of that heritage peeking through your veneer, and most likely to be revealed during stressful moments.

I had a crush on an East Indian boy when I was in Jr. High. I admit I've never dated any because... I haven't met any single ones. The Americanized ones had girlfriends, the traditional ones had wives.

I'm going to throw this out here... It is quite possible women don't want to date you becuase you may be muslem. As soon as we hear Indian, Somolian, etc we automatically think muslem. Knowing about the muslem culture, I know I would never date a muslem man. When I was in highschool one of my best friend's were Muslem as she told me, "a muslem guy will go out with you, he will f*ck you, he might even give you a baby...but he will NEVER marry you." At the time I didnt believe her, but through my experiences I have learned this is mostly true. I once dated a muslem, he never once brought me home to meet his family. Most of the men (younger ones especially) go after other races becuase they believe them to easy and that's why they want white women. Muslem women save themselves for marriage. So they will f*ck us, then when there ready to settle down and get married they'll leave us for a virgin muslem. Again were speaking majority here, I'm not saying every Muslem is like this....but most of them unfortunately are.

I am of multi race backround(portuguese, mexican indian, irish, english), and i would have to say the reason women(in my perspective) are open to date middle eastern men, but un americanised Middle Eastern Men aka:MEM(to give my fingers a rest) tend to be forceful in there oppinion and characters. i dated an MEM and after our 2nd date, i told him that i like, him, want to take it slow, and we weren't going to have intercourse until i felt right....he never called.

Men that are americanized MEM's, i'm not sure about, xcept i know they like me, b/c i look Middle eastern..... i have noticed MEM that are americanized tend to be more mature, thoughtful to american or any woman, and have a very open mind..... i love americanized MEM, i've evn tried converting unmarried MEM to talk to me, or ask me out... but it never happened.....waht can American women do to make a bond between cultures?

there are lots of ignorant people out there; they see a brown-skinned person and ASSUME they are muslim. read what you are responding to, i'll show it again: "It is quite possible women don't want to date you becuase you MAY BE muslem".

I date guys of all heritages. I find guys from every single heritage to be goodlooking. So, why the hell not?!? (...Just as long as they're not a jerk/pervert. Let's get that straight. For, appearance doesn't mean much in the long run...)

However, my family is a bunch of racists... (Well, not my dad, but he's passed away. RIP. He was my example of how to be a good human being. ANYWAY...) So, because of my family's ignorant & **stard views on race/ethnicity, needless to say, there've been problems. =/

This is in response to ThyckNBangin:

Based on what you are saying about Muslim men in general, I could easily say the following about other races.

NOTE - the generalizations below are NOT in anyway my personal opinion of these races but a list of common stereo types associated with other races. Just like ThyckNBangin has generalized about Muslims, someone else could also generalize about other races. I think this is wrong and should not have any impact on an individual's personality.

1) Black people are the most prone to crime
2) Hispanic women's butts get bigger after 30
3) Asian guys have small Di^ks
4) Black guys have large Di^ks
5) Jewish people are cheap
6) Asian Kids are much smarter than White kids
7) All Irish people are drunks
8) All Italians belong to the Mafia
9) All Muslims are fanatics and terrorists
10) All Gay guys have better taste than straight guys

The list above can go on forever..but my point is that the generalizations above don't in anyway represent the attributes and personality of a particular individual and these silly stereo types should not be held against them.

UGH! You people are IDIOTS! First of all to the last person who responded before me I did not imply any of those things your wrote, and if you READ what I wrote I said MOST are like this FROM MY EXPERIENCES and other women I have spoken with/are friends with. And to the smartass who responded below me, no I didnt know that and I have better things to do then research things that are of no importance to me I have a life a job, a child and responsibilities. Not everyone still studies their notes from back in highschool, perhaps you have to much time on your hands. People sometimes assume things, it's part of life...but again...look who I'm talking to, someone who obviously needs one. I simply gave an outlook as a responce to the forum...if you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen. I am not the only person in the world who see's an Indian person and assumes them to be Muslem.

Tesh,my critically trained to speak friend ...Not only were you very polished in your response,but displayed kindness to the person that intended the following to you:


UGH! You people are IDIOTS! First of all to the last person who responded before me I did not imply any of those things your wrote, and if you READ what I wrote I said MOST are like this FROM MY EXPERIENCES and other women I have spoken with/are friends with.

I simply gave an outlook as a responce to the forum...if you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen. I am not the only person in the world who see's an Indian person and assumes them to be Muslem.


To begin,Tesh wasn't pointing at you when he posted.Someone is not an idiot or a smartass just because they don't share your view on a topic.Your words,READ,FROM MY EXPERIENCES,MOST loses it's meaning when you turn around and say you have better things to do than research things that are of no importance to you.

Question at hand....if it is of no imortance to you,then why the heck did you even bother to post anything at all on here?I think you should thank Tesh for his kind response back to your post in reference to him.

But if you would prefer to respond to mine instead;then,shorty,that's cool with me.There is no need to ASSUME who I am like you did Tesh,I'll just let you know...I have a job,full time mom,full time student,and I know I can take the heat in the kitchen.And I also know that if you shake someone's family tree,you'll find more than just apples to hit the ground

Tesh 88 you said;

"i think you need to
get your facts right,before you make statements."

then you said ;

"i wasn't slating you for not knowing,because i know alot of people shared your view,i only posted it so people realised it wasn;t the case. "

Since your so intellectual, I dont even need to post a reply on how that is a huge contridiction and I'll just leave it at that.

casheyesblond;

Ok so you have a job,full time mom,full time student whatever...who cares??? Better yet who asked???

And why are you so hurting for me to respond to you? You think I wouldnt respond to your friend but I would to you??? Who are you??? Do you think your opinion is of any relevence to me? And why you feel you have to validate yourself to a perfect stranger is beyond me.

However, I'll throw you a bone and answer your question though, but first let me pose a question to you. Every forum that you read and reply to...do you personally care? If you do, then your in the same boat as your friend there and perhaps should consider a second job. You read a forum... offer your imput and log off...and that should be that. Do people in here take things THAT SERIOUS that you have to go and google information just to make sure your correct in everything your posting. No, this thread asks for a opinions... not facts. And like really when did I ever claim anything to be fact. That's why I responded, to answer his question...and now I'm answering yours, even as stupid as it is.

ThyckNBangin:
No one asked who I was..I let you know before you did an asumption
like the way you did with Tesh,someone that has overcome alot of diversity to be where he is...He is a young man of substance that responded with kindness to you even after you called him a smartass,and basically let him know he needs to get a life.

Back on topic...East indian men,along with age or the color of a persons skin,... to what may be a mainstream religion associated for some....you have to see someone as an individual ....then go from there...

Who cares?..And do I personally care about everything I post?Of course I do. I wouldn't take the time to even post something if I didn't care about what I wanted to say or the affect it may have on others.

And ThyckNBangin I am not trying to call you out.... just trying to show you that the words you used....idiots,smartass,stupid,..I could go on but I'll stop there... that's just not cool with me.Free expression is an art within itself,and if someone replied to you
with words like an idiot,smartass or stupid while you were trying to give a sincere post,I would defend you as well,and I don't have to know you in order to personally care.I don't have to know east indian men in order to personally care either.......

I can totally understand that no matter what we may desire to be - - i.e. open minded andaccepting of other cultures - - Our inner selves are often times most comfortable and happy when we are with our own kind. I know a lot of you may not agree with this but I think it is something innate about a human being.

In my case, I have been in the U.S. for so long and my interactions with my own kind (i.e. East Indians) has been so limited that I often falsely start to actually believe that Caucasians are my own kind. No offense to any other races but almost all my life I have mostly been around White/Caucasians than any other race.

Even I have the same experience as the OP. I don't find many takers in the online world, whereas in real world not many seem to have a problem meeting/dating me. Actually, I would appreciate if women put upfront on their profile that they do not date ouside their race, etc... It just makes searching easy

BTW I am not an americanized westernized east Indian (I don't know what that exactly means), and that does not in any way make me treat women as sh** or for that matter to anyone. I guess the next east Indian stereotype would be "Men in India beat up their wives/GF's and force them to make software"

Bombayboy - I completely agree with you on the fact that these women should very clearly state in their profile that they will not date outside their race or for that matter should state what races there are interested in dating.

But you see the problem with that is then these women might be perceived to be racist or narrow minded by men of their own race and they would not be interested in these women. Thus, this sort of women want to hide their narrow mindedness and show to the whole world what an "accepting" sort of person they are when truly they are far from it. As a result what they do is simply delete or ignore messages from the person of a race they do not want to date.

You are right. most of the girls that i have dated .. had the same complaint.... I have heard some weird stuff about them before and after sex... some even wanted to continue relationship after they got married in THEIR country ...
But still Most indians are hindu's (I am not religous)..of course a lil dominating but really nice and lovable guys HEHEH

but someting about guys from india is that they just can't cheat and its hard for them to cheat LOL...
