The only race I do not date is the race of stupid. Sadly, they are quite numerous.


Stupidia is a depressingly vast land though, and its émigrés have spread all over North America. Where Stupidia is, no one knows because its people are too stupid to point it out on a map, but I'm certain it exists.

Luckily (or not so luckily), "Stupids" assimilate quickly and completely into regular society, so the use of logic is not yet considered a hate crime. "Smacking some sense into them" might be though, and besides, it's quite ineffective.

ugh..

there goes the "r" word again.

I am so tired of conversations that use that term as if it has any scientific validity. The jury is in folks, it doesn't exist...there is only an endless rainbow of genetic ancestry that WE all can share regardless of what is on display externally!


that said, people have preferences. Not all preferences are the same, that must be accepted.

Just out of curiosity , if she is not "white" or "hispanic" what is she?

North Asian (Mongolian)
Central Asian (Kazak, Kirjik, Uzbek ??)
South Asian (Chinese)
Pacific Islander
Native American
South African (Coisan)
Central African (Bantu speaking)
Central African (Swahili speaking)
East African
West African
North African (Moroccan, Tunisian, Lybian)
North African (Egyptian, Sudanese)
African American (which itself is an amalgam of ethnicities)

I can go on....

People have preferences...

Now I am only going to say this because I have a lot of experience in this matter. I've dated quite a few black women and I live in a pretty near white washed part of the country. It's not easy for inter racial couples. Some people don't want the headaches that come with it, so you can't really blame people for preferences (personally i grew up an east coast punk so not much bothers me, but i digress). Let me just say this, there are a lot of white men that don't look at race or happen to like black women especially. Though it helps to live in a more "liberal" part of the country.
Frankly I think you'll have better luck finding a white male outside of the south. There I said it and I don't care what outrage you southern people fling at me, I've lived there, I know how it is, stop pretending your multicultural and don't look at race. And as far as Texas goes, don't even get me started talking about my Texan friends, they make my NYC gutter punk friends from back in the day look like choir boys and bastions of tolerance. Sorry, I've had a long day and am rambling a bit so to sum it up we're out there.

Stating a racial preference in your profile is not a good idea. If she doesn't want to waste time she should be upfront about her race to begin with and people will either accept her or not.

OP, any dating site on the Internet has a stat for race. You friend's race is right there in the profile, so if people who email her can't read, they're not worth the trouble.

Now....if your friend puts "other" in the race catagory, she needs to elaborate in the profile what she means, because "other" could mean E.T. or bigfoot or a mermaid or who knows what.

If people assume your friend is white from blurry pics they're just dumb.

I think posting a picture on your profile might defuse most of those problems.

I'm open to a relationship with a woman of any race, as long as we're compatible.
I won't tolerate race-based hatred of any sort; that includes those of other races who hate whites (unfortunately, I have to mention that, because of the brain-dead sentiment that "oppressed people can't be racist").

op: maybe, the other person just didn't like you for some reason, ever think of that one? believe it or not, there are men out there that will shoot down supermodels because guess what, that woman's personality sucks.. true story, I've even seen it.

besides that, people just like what they like. how about you stop worrying about what people think, find someone that makes you happy, and you them, and like.. not worry about it, or are you into blaming others for your lot in life?

People of every race feel that somebody else is getting more/better/preferable forms of attention; it's never true across the board. It's rarely even true of a person who has a so-called "set preference," since people's preferences are usually more elastic than they care to admit.

If we all said that we preferred White/Black/Asian/Hispanic/whatever people on our profiles, not only would we be limiting ourselves, we'd be lying. We'd be lying even if we didn't know it because preferences tend to become mutable when we meet someone who's ridiculously attractive and/or charming--no matter what ethnic heritage that person has.


Agreed.




The only race I do not date is the race of stupid. Sadly, they are quite numerous.


And we love to breed.

A big turn on for me is long, straight, silky hair; some people have it, some don't. If you don't have it, yes, you can get it 'done' that way, but it's eventually going to grow back all curly. And from what I've seen in life, after you get married many women expect to be loved for 'who they really are' and that long silky hair may never be seen again. So, I stick to those that have it naturally.

I recall years ago, reading a post from a woman who was just Raging because she had been passed over for promotion at work in favour of a man. After reading her post I was very tempted to point out that it probably wasn't her gender that cost her the promotion, it was the fact that this guy was functionally illiterate.

Read between the lines...

You will find narrow minded bigots in every walk of life. Why should dating be any different?

I dont list it on my profile so why should men? I dont think I could personally date anyone that wasnt caucasion but that doesnt mean that I wouldnt be open to it. If I were to put that on my profile that would close so many doors and lock them before they ever got a chance to ring the doorbell. Besides they may just not be interested in you or your friends. God works in mysterious ways and even though I have my beliefs that doesnt mean that God doesnt think that I would be better off with say an Italian or what havce you. If nothing else by me closing that door right off the bat I could be losing a great friendship!

I posted on a forum once about my dating preferences and got absolutely trashed.

I've had women message me on dating sites to trash me because I'm a redneck, and for some reason, they think redneck=racist (it doesn't)

So why the heck would I post that I'm willing to date certain races that aren't my own, and unwilling to date others.

I could post positive reasons I'd date the other races that I will, and not post anything about why I wouldn't date others, I'd still be trashed.

But for the record, a chick doesn't have to be white or Latina for me to date. I'm all about Asian chicks too. In fact, I won't lie, foreign women tend to get a closer look from me than American born women that aren't try southern belles.

Foreign women tend not to have the sense of entitlement that most American women have. They know how to recognize a good man and how to make him happy. Country girls tend to excel at this too. But every day, average American women think they are owed the world, they expect to be treated like a princess, but prefer the guy to be a servant, not a prince.

Yes ma'am, there are a few true southern guys left that know how to recognize a good woman and know what it takes to keep her.

This is a touchy subject. And as I'm going to tell it like it is.

Frankly, if Beyonce emails , for most guys there is going to be a very different reaction than if Queen Latifah emails. Just like the difference in attention between a Rosie O' Donnell and Cameron Diaz. I can't think of latina equivalent. I don't think it has as much to do with race as looks/physical appearance. I think the visual predisposition has to do more with biologocal urges than racism or anything like that.

I have a certai soft spot for Latinas because of their 'average' of physical characteristics blends with what I like most.

However, I have a definite desire to eventually date women from anywhere across Asia, and from the different areas of South America, the Pacific Islands... hell, seriously I'm good for a girl from just about anywhere and of any race.

The more different a woman is from me, the more intriguing and hot things I find about her. It's just more ambrosia for me. Different desires, different body shapes, different culture and dress and new things to find.

I can't imagine wanting to date the same race/nationality of woman over and over.

To reject someone for a date because of their race is in my opinion a lowly act. For one dating is not marriage, it just boils down to meeting someone and maybe becoming friends. Dating is not meant to be so serious, but I find many people take it very seriously and so they reject people for all kinds of shallow reasons.

Yes we all have preferences, but because dating is not marriage, why not just date someone and get to know them? It doesn't mean you will marry them, and that's why we don't have to apply our marriage "preferences" to every person we date.

I don't run about making blanket judgments or statements about anything, but I can't abide people who are racially prejudiced. Although it might be better if I said I didn't care for ignorant people who don't read and are proud of it. It's not easy to live down being from the South these days - many people think your a moron, your family tree is a telephone pole, and that you're a prejudiced Redneck mother. But I think I said all that just to say this; people are beautiful and wonderful, no matter where they come from or the colour of their skin. Women are beautiful PERIOD. I've traveled the world 4 times, and the world is a lot larger than most can imagine with ideas and culture that you just have to be there first hand to appreciate them.
