1. Hey that's NO loss. I don't find you at all attractive either. I also don't care for your sexist way of expressing yourself.
2. At least you're honest about it and not spouting platitudes about being open.

The bottom line is that while, it's not a very progressive way of approaching the world, people have a right to their racial prejudices as long as they don't display them in a way that breaks the law. Lying and saying you're open when you're not or trying to pass it off as "personal preference" is just plain dishonest. People who do this are just trying to escape the consequences of their prejudices and quite frankly it's cowardly.





Oh please forgive me for not being PC with you.

Honestly with your attitude, who cares what you think. Go progress yourself by playing the race card like you seem to do so well.

The problem may be that you lack the perspicacity to put together a cogent sentence.

I would never date a woman with the literary and editorial skills of a 3rd grader.

Shall we vote for the most obtuse person posting in this forum? Do I have a second?

Personality is what makes someone attractive regardless of color. If you walk around with a chip on your shoulder it shows and not appealing. I guess we all have our likes and dislikes and this is good as well.

Very true and if your preference is to date someone that I wouldn't, it's not putting you or them down at all.

You have the ability to choose as do I.

NOR DOES IT MAKE ME A RACIST IF I CHOOSE NOT TO DATE A BLACK WOMAN.

Got it OP?

I don't think she will in her view if you arn't attracted to who she deems black enough for her standards your racist.

Using her way of thinking you can draw a few other conclusions. The line that she is trying to draw is that if your not attracted to black women or dark black women your sexist. So using her same arguement we can draw these conclusions to be true as well.

A gay man is sexist against women.

A lesbian is sexist against men.

Now no one believes these to be true. They just have a preference (scary concept isn't it) towards a certain type of person.

I never date anyone crazier than myself.

It's not that I'm prejudiced against crazy women, but it really hasn't ever worked out (maybe that's my fault, but there it is).

Other than that, she has to be breathing, conscious, and articulate enough to order breakfast at Denny's.

I had just seen a "ask a girl" about women only wanting black guys just before I went to bed. In the post it had (at the time) 3 responses all by women. That if a "woman only wants a black guy that's her preference, everyone has preferences." So I answered based on the responses from this post that those women are shallow. Funny about 4 hours later its been deleted. Also funny about the strange double standard that is out there also. I'm a personality person but I also look at looks. Does my standards include race? Nope none at all.

Because if we are or aren't a match it doesn't matter about race it matters wither or not we are a match.

Best of luck to everyone

Maybe the real question here is this: why is this "friend" so worried about what white men think of her? I mean, how many other races are out there that she could date? How many other individuals are out there for her instead?

Unless this "friend" has a preference for white men, which we know couldn't be the case because that would make her a horrible person.

If someone doesn't want to date me because of my height, weight, hair color, race or anything else, I just move on to someone else. I guess I should start posting rambling messages in "Ask a Guy" everytime someone doesn't want to date me, too.

If she happens to live in a White or predominantly White community, she would have EVERY reason to be worried. Not everyone is in a position to immediately relocate and it is discouraging to find that no matter what one has to offer, one is automatically ruled out by the men in her area due to race.




Oh please forgive me for not being PC with you.


No forgiveness is needed. You are entitled to your prejudices. I am entitled to say that I don't find you even remotely attractive.




Very true and if your preference is to date someone that I wouldn't, it's not putting you or them down at all.

NOR DOES IT MAKE ME A RACIST IF I CHOOSE NOT TO DATE A BLACK WOMAN.

Got it OP?


The OP has not stopped by in a while so I will respond to this.

If you choose not to date INDIVIDUAL Black women who you have met, that is not racist. If you PRE-JUDGE all Black women and indicate that you would not date ANY Black women, yes my friend you are displaying racial prejudice and you are definitely racist. There is no way you can pretty it up or dress it up and change THAT fact no matter how many capitals you use. So, you may as well just admit it. You aren't ashamed to display the attitude. Why are you afraid to wear the label? Let me break it down for you.

Pre + judge + ice = prejudice or do you have a limited grasp of the English language.

And because of that, should I throw and temper tantrum and give up on dating altogether? Think about it.

No actually it is YOUR ignorance and lack of understanding of a basic English word that is shining through BRIGHTLY for all to see.

Hmmm, where exactly did I say that.

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much. I wonder why.

Maybe I'm dating myself, but...

Does anyone else get reminded of the old Miller Lite commercials? You know...

"TASTES GREAT!"/"LESS FILLING!"

Or the Campbell's Chunky Soup:

"FORK!"/"NO, SPOON!"

You can insult me all you want to. It doesn't bother me one bit. It's very telling when someone resorts to childish behavior like the type that you're displaying.

To sit there and imply that I am a racist because I won't date black women is utterly stupid. But the again OP, you haven't written anything to show me otherwise that you aren't.

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


If it's a waste of time, only respond to people that list your race.

If you're offended, you might want to grow a little thicker skin.

I know that you was addressing a guy. But this quote should be taken both ways. That it is just as wrong for the woman if you inserted black man instead of woman on both counts. This is a problem of both genders not just the men of the world. But other than that I agree with you 150% on that statement.

I'll say this if I "like someone" or "dislike someone" it has nothing to do with race. I might have other factors that others may or may not agree with. But that's not one of them.

Best of luck to everyone

Exactly.

The OP is sitting there telling me that she doesn't find me attractive. SO. Should I get mad and stomp around and start calling people names? No, because I'm mature enough to understand that people have their PREFERENCES and if I am not one of them, then I'll move along until I find someone that does want to get to know me.

You gotta be joking. Are you that PC to actually believe that? It has nothing to do with what you're implying. It's just my own personal preference. It's scary to realize that people are so absolute in their logic and thinking as to label someone a racist because they prefer to not date black women. Wow.

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.


That's fine if your goal is developing friendships, however if you are dating with the intent of getting into a LTR with someone then you want to be more selective.

For instance if you like robust women, then you are not going to be responding to peoples profiles that list their body type as slim.

There is a difference between not being attracted to a certain race and not dating a certain race due to false stereotypes and generalizations based on limited experiences.


No there isn't.


Physical attraction has nothing to do with judging a person's character, intelligence etc based on race, height, weight, religion, hair color etc


I'm generally not attracted to Asian women although there are some exceptions to that. That doesn't make me racist.



Yes it does. Why are you afraid to admit it?


Bullshit. Racism is thinking that you are better than someone else because of race or mistreating someone because of race. That also has nothing to do with physical attraction. I would have no problems dating an Asian woman if I was attracted to her. However I'm not attracted to most Asian woman that I have seen.

There are men that wont date black women period but most men I meet are willing once they get to know you.


If she happens to live in a White or predominantly White community, she would have EVERY reason to be worried. Not everyone is in a position to immediately relocate and it is discouraging to find that no matter what one has to offer, one is automatically ruled out by the men in her area due to race.


if youre in a mostly white community then youre going to have to be thin/athletic get attractive and intelligent white men. the average men are easy to attract but the more attractive ones will give you a chance if youre pretty. living in a big city helps. my boyfriend is asian but ive been proposed to by intelligent and hot white men in the past.
