Posted: 6/15/2009 2:35:35 AM | Do any other men seek women af races not their own? I'm a white male and prefer very dark black females( as well as other non-white females) do opposites attract?
I was married for almost 30 years to a black woman before I lost her, now I wouldn't even consider a white women though I am friends with several of them, all of whom think I'm pedudiced | |

Yes.........how else did the term 'mixed race' come to be created?

Your friends are right, but your prejudice is nothing to be ashamed of - it's as natural as breathing! | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:59:12 AM | There been a few of these threads and I think it has to be accepted that some people have these preferences.
But I think it also has to be accepted that if you have such preferences to the degree that you won't even consider someone as a potential partner because of their skin colour, you're going to be considered at best very odd or at worst racist by a lot of people. | |

You've demonstrated one of the problems of using the term 'racist'.
The OP has clearly stated that he is quite happy to date other races, viz:
prefer very dark black females( as well as other non-white females)
By stating that he doesn't like one particular race (his own) , he is demonstrating that he isn't 'racist' in the slightest. Note how he is on friendly terms with white women - how can that be viewed as 'racism', ffs?
Also, is it possible to be 'racist' towards one's own race? The OED thinks it's impossible:
Racism : discrimination against or antagonism towards OTHER races.
you're going to be considered at best very odd or at worst racist by a lot of people.
I agree........and those people don't know the meaning of the word! | |

No, generally, I am loyal to my own, but I do not rule out women of other races, however, I would not purposely seek them out
now I wouldn't even consider a white women
Why not if you do not mind me asking?
all of whom think I'm pedudiced
They definitely have a point, because prejudice = a decision/judgment is influenced/made in advance, which you have done and is supported by the following statement...
now I wouldn't even consider a white women | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:57:38 AM | I have dated other races although my personal preference is light skinned / English. Like fairy-ellen says we are free to choose.
People may think you're prejudiced because of the way you come across. You've already stated that you prefer black women which is fine, it's therefore not needed to follow up the statement with "now I wouldn't even consider dating a white woman", to me that just seems a bit rude. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:03:31 AM | | It shouldn't be an issue, we are exactly same speices just spent long time apart. I do find all girls from different ethnic-groups are attractive. Although some peolpe doesn't want go out their tribes. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:35:24 AM | I grew up in a racist family, my uncles would always poke fun of me saying stuff like "I saw you kissing that blacky/paki in the alleyway".
I made a point of dating girls of a different skin colour because of this. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:48:31 AM | I have never dated out of my own 'colour' but there is still time...
I do tend to have a taste for white men, but 'Will Smith' I definatly would! 
I went to Turkey recently and alot of my friends have teased did I 'pull' a Turk.
I think it's more knowing of their reputation, but I found them to be very short and very non-appealing to me. Lovely friendly folk though :-) | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:53:34 AM | The OP is not prejudiced or racist, he knows what he finds attractive and is only interested in dating people who he finds attractive.
To be prejudice against white women he would have to feel they would have nothing in common, think differently or have different morals..anything that is a preconceived idea before meeting built from stereotypes and experience before meeting the person. The op hasn't said that or finds that he just doesn't find that them attractive so even though they may be perfect for him every way it wouldn't work because of fanciability.
It has already well be proven not to be racist.
It is preference no more than height, size, smoker or intelligence - lots of those are non negotiables for people like skin colour is for the OP. Personally I generally prefer white women, but have dated different races. | |

preference is fine, we all have them, but most of us occasionally find ourselves fancying someone who isn't our usual preference.
its when someone says things like they wouldn't even CONSIDER someone with a certain colour skin people are going to wonder... | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 9:48:13 AM | Ive dated different races..but I didn't see it that way, it was the person I went for not his race...but there is no denying from a physical point of view I find black guys very attractive
That aside (down woman) I would still go for the person and not the race | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 10:01:27 AM | This is my 3rd reply in 7 days to this type of post
You sir are a racist imo, and whilst you happily judge other on race, not skin tone, you dont even bother to have an image up - curious. As i posted on the interracial dating thread other day,and that other un, this reply is equally applicable here.
I fail to see even why its an issue given that man most likely originated from the same part of the world eg Africa is the fashionable theory.
My bamboozlement aside suppose i better blame some people for that pantaloons dogma and decree the following guilty:
Educated white man - and i use that term in a sarcastic fashion from a kinda dark age time to early 20th century.
Heritage - same again and those devoid of any true notion on what exactly that entails
Religion - which I am not going into
Insistence/persistence some people believe, wrongly, we belong to separate races
Cultures - lack of respect of anyone's other than their own
Elf king - incase i missed any others
However honesty is honesty even if it makes my skin crawl at times.
*But I would have to agree with your pale face friends
Other than that you like dark skinned people what has race got to do with it. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 11:19:31 AM | | I think its similar to the guys (or girls) prefering blondes or brunettes syndrome.....Think you will only be with a blonde then a georgous brunette makes you change your mind... But everyone to their own. :) | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:46:31 PM | I couldn't give a monkey's arse what colour or where someone was from if I liked him as a person, found him appealing I'd date him and that's that.
There are issues which can arise from intercultural relationships which are not necessarily due to the racial differences. You can have a culture clash with someone from a different social class to yourself or a northerner could have a culture clash with a southerner.
People are people and men and women have preferences and 'looks' that attract them. Always have always will, fortunately for everyone we are all different and so are the tastes of the men and women we mix with. | |
