question about interracial dating ...
Posted: 11/6/2007 2:01:12 PM
I being the person I am..I do date out side my Race,and it works for me..with that being said..I would NEVER Reject a Black woman or anyother Race because of RACE..It's all about timing for me,and as of now I am a single male looking,and I don't know what race she will be..But I do Know this. I If Look at a persons Race as of who I choose to date ,then I have already Fail myself and any chance for being happy and in love,and I don't think that that is not fair to me or anyone eles...I also know this..NON of us are Pure anything.

If you are a lover then hit me up;) FEMALE ONLY

question about interracial dating ...
Posted: 11/6/2007 4:55:56 PM
Since I've not been here in awhile, I may have already contributed to this topic. Nonetheless, I do date men who are racially different from me. And also date men who are caucasian--like me. It's about the person. I do admit to having a weakness for "exotic" men--men with darker complexions. For years all I would date were African and African-American men. I've "broadened" my "pallet" now. (I had a discussion about this in a personal email not too long ago. Why people prefer--especially men--prefer to have a "same-same" type of relationship.) You can' t help being attracted to those that you are--just don't turn it into a reason for "race-hating".

I have no problem with interracial dating but society does. Its best to think about your surroundings and know of the challenges you are to face in the future.

well some people put a race preference either cause they feed into stereotypes of other races, to avoid unnecessary drama, previous experience or simply cause theyre not attracted to them. for the most part its usually a racial or stereotypical reason. but sometimes its just a matter of taste

What Up harley17701,
I don't believe you harley at all. I think you have a problem
only with the people of your same race who choose not to date your race. Lets face
that Facts Brown or Black Men are Hung Low, 9 ot of 10. Most woeman want someone
who can tickle or pound her G Spot, Stay Deep & Hard. It is what it is. If you truely
really felt like you say, there would be no need to give this matter any attention. I think
you are closed minded, harley riding Redneck in Denial. Redneck in Denia is what you
are. I am not from Missouri but Show Me. 10 1/4" of Pure Thick, Stir It Like Coffee,
Magic Stick. Now does'nt this make want to go out and get a Poppyseed Muffin to go
with this. My Large Mushroom Head, My Tip & Tip for you. You know what to do
Peace.

LOL minfo.
Can't see the problem myself. I've dated Danish, Japanese, Korean, African American, Native American, Taiwanese, English and Welsh women. Not bad for an ugly ginger Scotsman I think it's down to Bond, personally. One of my formative childhood memories was seeing Bond kiss a Jamaican lass and thinking "Oh my God! He's kissing a Black woman!"...followed closely by the thought, "She's bloody gorgeous though!"
Unfortunately Americans only had Dirty Harry to show them the way

OP:
I've dated both in and outside of my race. It all came down to attraction and opportunity.
They asked me out, I was attracted, said yes, end of story.
People can't help what they are drawn to. Attraction is what it is...and preference is preference.
Personally, I like someone opposite of myself. I.E. Dominant, tall, large build, darker skin and hair, or salt & pepper colored hair, but no preference to eye color.

Hope this helps!

Our interracial love
Bound to you
From your love of a lifetime
I shall never stray
Placing my hand in yours
Joining my present to yours
To create a brand new future
Now and forever more
I will always want you
I will always care and be there
In the good times and in the bad
I will be at your side
Making all your dreams come true
Fulfilling the promise of our interracial love


Stripped to the bone
Laid out bare for you to see
Here I am
Offering you all that I am
Forever yours
As I know you are forever mine
Through the years
As together we weather all of life's storms
Rising children and growing old
As one we shall exist
For better or worse
Richer or for poorer
So begins the story of our forever

question about interracial dating ...
Posted: 12/13/2007 5:59:15 PM
My ex was raised in a very racist family, and so was I. Because of my families' views on interacial dating, I decided that I will never be like them and that I will have a happy relationship with whomever I want, regardless of age or race. A few years into my last relationship, I learned that my ex wasn't happy about the fact that if we were to ever have kids together, they would not be what he called "pure blooded" or "pure bred", you know, like what they call show dogs. He was 100% of his race and I am only partially what he is. His family had made it clear that they wouldn't be happy with him bringing home a girl of another race. It's funny though, because his first girlfriend was also not a "pure bred" of his race, only partial, like me. He still seeks a "pure bred" woman that fits his needs. Good luck to him... not.

I think that family has some influence on racism. Oh yeah, and my ex is totally not attracted to any female that isn't at least partially of the same race as he is, no matter how gorgeous, sexy or wonderful she is. Isn't that just ridiculous?! My current boyfriend also dropped the bomb after we've been together for a while that he will not date outside of his own race. And this shocks me because 90% of all of his ex girlfriends aren't even partially of the same race as he is!!! So now after being with women of different ethnicities, he refuses to date outside of his race. That is just sad. I am not 100% of the same race that he is and I recently found out that this bugs him. What the he11???!! All of his many siblings have married or dated ONLY within their race. They are all racists. This really saddens me because I didn't know that love had a color.

Racism may start in the family and may be a huge influence on who people decide to bring home to mom and dad. I've dated outside of my race and my family has freaked out, but I don't care. Heck, my dad's side of the family has a problem with me because my mom is of a totally different race and I am not a "pure bred" and they say all kinds of mean stuff to me about it, but it has made me a stronger and better person. Racism is sad and I'll know what it's like to live through it for an entire lifetime.

I don't think we can help who we are attracted to. If we're attracted to men outside of our race, or exclusively within our race, it is what it is. I have a thing for bald men although I don't rule out men with hair. It's the same concept. Preferences.

Posted: 1/23/2009 11:56:48 PM
I used to have no preference on who I dated............but through time I have really realized that I like to see someone who is different from me and to be honest there are only certain guys who really approach me wherever im at and that is white men..............everytime that a black man has approached me has been with fear and that is how they express themselves when they do..........I would love to date everyone but really at my age I know who I like and that doesnt mean that I hate who I am its just my preference and I stick to it.................and I used to be married to an African American man so I have dated all across the board it just now I know what I like and thats what I do but that doesnt still mean that im not open............I like a man who has things going on and attain their goals........that constitutes any man......

hmm well being the product of an interractial couple I can say all people are the same. Both sides of my family are just as crazy as the other. I prefer white men.. that is just what I a attracted to. I can't explain it; that has always been my preference... I'll try to date other races, but I always come back to white.. I love all people, I think all races and cultures are beautiful but white men tickle my fancy. I guess its just innate...at least for me!

For me it is not racism or prejudice of any sort.
I just happen to be absolutely enthralled/fascinated/adoring of the East Asian race as a whole culture. So naturally I am more attracted to East Asians.

People have preferences based on so many things, I believe it is individual to that person, and there's no real way to figure why everyone is like that, because not everyone is the same.

I am a black woman who has dated alot of different men. I love white men the most! Why? I have no idea and it is not sitting well with my family. But I have to make me happy and not worry about the nasty looks I get from people on the street. Especially from the white women!!! It is not pretty! But I do know this, every relationship I have been in, the ones with a white man are the ones that I have the best memories and I am still friends with them.

question about interracial dating ...
Posted: 2/28/2009 9:50:57 PM
I live in a very cosmopolitan city, so it is intriguing to me to experience different cultures and the richness of experience dating people with various backgrounds brings to a relationship. I am not looking for someone of a particular ethnicity, but will embrace whatever culture and experience an indivuidual offers from their own upbringing.

I understand that some people have their preferences, but I cannot say from what culture I am going to find the man with whom I will spend my future. Those who limit their potential mates based on ethnic preferences might be missing out on a unique opportunity to understand and learn about diversity.

We live in a global community and the ability and opportunity to embrace all of the cultures of the world is a true blessing.

Posted: 2/28/2009 10:13:33 PM
most of the time when i see women with a preference, its white women (or women of any race)only wanting black men. so why in the world would the poster of the messege below have to say "racism is alive and well". racism is alive and well alright but it surely is'nt because of what i'm sure that poster is thinking or insinuating.

I agree, OP... sadly racism is alive and well. There is nothing wrong with one versus another, just individual predjudices by some people. I've dated within and outside of my race and its a non-issue in my book. Good people are good people, regardless of race or ethnicity. >>>

I'm sure there are racists who won't date outside of their race, but not everyone who won't is a racist. It can also be a preference, like preferring redheads or brunettes. I've dated outside of my race and outside of my culture, but I don't judge someone who won't.

i absolutely cannot stand when people name all of these rediculous, non-existant colors of people when they are talking about different races....i.e. purple, green, blue, etc etc, its quite obtuse!

>>That is the determining factor for me. I dont date "thug life" guys- black, white, purple, green, whatever. Its just the lifestyle and mentality that I cannot tolerate.

If someone shares my values that is what matters.>>>

I have no problem with interracial relationships. I date outside my race. Its not something i consciously do, however i do find a lot of white men will not be interested once they discover you've been with black. I don't see the problem personally. I've been called all derogatory names for dating interracially. Its never bothered me. Afterall why would i let small mindedness get to me. Just because you don't doesn't mean you're racist. Its preference

UGH....I wish racism would finally disappear!! Hearts do not see color, but unfortunately eyes and brains do!

Um....outside the human race? Well I hope not! This isn't about extra celestial dating, it's about interracial dating
