Sometimes what you may think is race...isn't.

A black woman who looks like Vanessa Williams would have no problem getting dates, but Someone who looked like say Star Jones would have her options greatly deminished.

Typewriterman,
Have you dated a black woman in a public place, or had a black g/f for any period of time?
Your statement makes great theory, but I doubt you'd be willing to put up with the treatment most interracial couples deal with in everyday life. Sure, we'd all like to think we live in an enlightened age, but, unfortunately, that's not the reality for many. It's not simply a matter of your choice not to be a racist, it's also interacting and putting up with all the hatemongers you encounter along your way.

I had a black ("African-American" hadn't been coined yet) gf for a time, one of the sweetest, kindest, gentlest women I've ever met, we did run across a few obnoxious b@stards (of both races), but I'm just enough of a contrarian it didn't bother me. Unfortunately it bothered her so we parted.
Score one for the bad people.

I don't care what race a woman is. I'm an equal opportunity dater with respect to race. Poor spelling and grammar are a turnoff though.

i think guys need to come clean about it on there profile. about what types of girls that they are interested in and state the race. because i find it very offensive and a waste of time when they like my friends profile and they find out that she is not white or hispanic


wtf.......is this a rule now? ok then i guess im gonna have to say i date elfs,ewoks,aliens,wonder women,etc

i say just hit them up an if there interested,then just hook up!
if not go to the next hottie an so on so on so on

Strong words. Maybe it would please the OP if all men with an open mind regarding race copied and pasted this onto their profiles?

Hey!! How about some love for white boys that dig black chicks? (I'm one.)

The truth is, self-reporting on racial preferences has always been skewed because there is a bias that discourages saying you have a problem with someone's race. It isn't culturally acceptable for a white guy to say "I won't date black women." So, he does the next best thing. He says he will, and then finds every excuse in the book to never follow up on the claim.

Now, there is some truth to the comment that maybe race is not the issue 100% of the time. I'll also offer that sometimes it isn't appearance but culture.

I know a guy who used to think he was racist toward black folks until he fell for a woman from Africa. Turns out he really liked black chicks if they were the quiet as a mouse type that you find in Africa. In other words, he didn't hate black folks -- he hated black Americans. Ponder that for a few seconds.

In my own experience, I have to say the quiet African girl I knew and kinda had a thing with in college from Botswana was painfully meek. I didn't want to spend my whole life coaxing some woman out. But, some guys love that quality.

I think in 2008 that's more of what you're up against with white men than just an overt lack of attraction toward black women.

Check out interracial dating sites. just google it. there's plenty. I, being white, finally had to admit I preferred Black men and came out of the closet. i used to feel bad about it, but realize it's no different than being attracted to just blondes, redheads, tall men, muscular men. so I jumped on other sites and WOW! Met some beautiful people.

Just like you have preferences, everyone else does too... Sometimes people don't like to specifically exclude certain "races" because it seems mean... So they leave the options open and just ignore certain responses accordingly...

I think it has more to do with you than race though. Like an earlier poster wrote, if the woman in question was Beyonce, that white guy might be less inclined to ignore her, and if she was Rosanne, her being white might not help her prospects at all.

Me, I like women who know the dif betw "there," "their," and "they're".

(redcassandra) ^^^ Have not noticed that you are in that group... so far...


"Stupid" is a recessive gene; we all carry it, and it can manifest under the right circumstances in ANYone.

It's one of the few genes, perhaps the only one, that responds to, "Gee, I won't do that again!"

There are beautiful people in all races. And stating what races you will and won't date on a profile will turn off not only the races you won't date but also the girls who are turned off by racism.

The less things the partner has to blame the better. You can say something completely unrelated to race and somehow certain people will make a race issue out of stuff. No fun.

I think more of my target group is offended that I think white American women suck for the most part when it comes to relationships than they are offended I won't date a Muslim chick.

Race is not an issue with me and never has been when wanting to date but I do look for her heart and her mind to be right mind to be in the right place and that is what mainly counts to me.

There is only one race, the human one.

I do not date alien life forms though, I am a bigot when it comes to ETs.

A lot of white guys are pretty cool with dating asians gals too, in addition to other whites and latinas.

My ex bf "even" had two black babes - it does seem this is less common and deemed novel or a headturner. Personally I think interracial stuff is pretty hot. OP I'm sorry you have noticed this trend. It's a particular white guy's personal preference. I know a lot of people who have specific preferences, even though they aren't really racist they would make great friends with any race/creed but a physical romantic attraction is a very specific thing.

Most state what is "politically correct" but they don't mean it. Most of the men here are definitely looking for White women. I don't know why they try to pretend otherwise on the boards and when you write to them it's no response. I rarely write to a White guy. It's a waste of time in almost all insances. Here is further proof for my point:



Sometimes what you may think is race...isn't

A black woman who looks like Vanessa Williams would have no problem getting dates,


Hello because she looks more White than Black! :caution: How can you say that this has nothign to do with race. A Black woman is only acceptable if she looks White?Please give me a break.


but Someone who looked like say Star Jones would have her options greatly deminished.


Even though she has lost a ton of weight she is still clearly Black and that is the reason she would not even be CONSIDERED by most White men.



Hey!! How about some love for white boys that dig black chicks? (I'm one.)


One of the few.



The truth is, self-reporting on racial preferences has always been skewed because there is a bias that discourages saying you have a problem with someone's race. It isn't culturally acceptable for a white guy to say "I won't date black women." So, he does the next best thing. He says he will, and then finds every excuse in the book to never follow up on the claim.


Exactly and then they attack the Black women and claim that there is something wrong with their "mindset" or attitude and it has nothing to do with race. Give me a break.

I personally have dated white women, black women, asians and hispanic women. I see beauty in all races.

Some men perfer blondes I personally like brunettes. Its all a matter of preference.

personally, think it is cause they like to believe they are not racists...
cause we live in a society where we like to politely hide our racism...a society in which our racial biases have been so deeply embedded in our society that we do not even see them any more. but if you really think about -- in today's multicultural and plural society, there is simply no valid justification for selection practices based on ancestry / racism alone. however, i will concede that cultural practices do have a role for some people...but that is a whole other story for another time.

So men can't have preferences or else they are racist. Thats quite a leap. But I don't think you realise that.
So in your way of thinking my sister who is white is racist against white people because she prefers latin, native american and black men. I don't think so.
The last beautiful black woman I dated told me she prefered dating white men. Is she racist against black people. I don't think so.
