Why do so many people have issues dating outside there race. I think is good for society to mix it up a bit. I really like when i see mix marry people.

a lot of it is an issue of personal preference...i knew a man who would only date asian women, and i have met a few black men who not date black women.......it is neither good or bad, it is just one's preference......in a large city where there is more exposure, you may see more interracial couples!

Honestly, it has complications, but have done so many times from hispanic to asian to black. Anyone who say they are color blind is not being intellectually honest. I think it is about appreciating the differences.

It makes no difference to me, the world would be such a dull place if everyone looked the same, acted the same, grew up the same, etc. I find it can be very interesting to learn about someone else's culture, where they grew up, etc. We are all "just people" I find it so upsetting when people judge by race or sexual preference.

Why do so many people have issues dating outside there race. I think is good for society to mix it up a bit. I really like when i see mix marry people.

1)the whole ideal of "race" is based upon racsim to a large degree...."race" is a SOICAL construct,rather than sceintific.

2)Society is already "mixed" to some degree.

3)I see no reason to be more pleased to see married people of different ethnicities than married people of the same. Love is love and LOVE is a BEAUTIFUL thing.

I must say that I don't think ANYONE is color blind unless they are without sight. Still,it is possible and the reality of many to be FREE of the negativity placed upon racial categories.It is the reality of many to be FREE of the issues of judging or assessing another based upon a "racial" assignment and/OR stereotypes.Free to judge based upon character rather than pigment.Those who have found this freedom enjoy and embrace the diversity of the HUMAN RACE.

Bah! Don't pay it another thought man! If you meet a girl of any race, and you both like one another and make one another feel great, then screw anyone who doesn't like it!

^^^That's not a question of preference, it's called inhibition, convention, many stagnant things. We never know how good a vintage is until we taste it. Let one exotic man light your fire and you'll sing a different tune hunnie.

I have no problem with any race, per se, but I have noticed some, shall we say, cultural issues involving personal hygiene.

Unfortunately there is still a lot of prejudice out there.
You think society is changing, but in some aspects, we are taking steps back.
I do not see anything wrong with it, I have dated men of mixed races - and it all comes down to how eachother is treated, and respected.

__I am of the go-cart variety. I would like to date someone from NASCAR or even from Grand Prix if only they are willing to gear down to my level. I would gear up but would loose control with these little tires of mine.
__Variety is the spice of life.

I've never dated an alien from space. Human race is the Human race....there is no differences.

I think dating out side your race is a great thing as long as you don't eliminate your own race. Just opens more options.

I have no problems with it. I have been dating outside my race since I was 19 and I'm 47 now. I have a daughter and she looks like her father. It's how people were brought up to think against races. I was brought up that way but I had sense enough to know that everyone bleeds red no matter what color their skin is. We are all equal in God's eyes.

...I agree with the "one race - human race" theory , but not everyone on this planet has evolved to that level of thinking , and this planet is only getting smaller , not bigger...maybe one day our blood will be so mixed that we can all be treated equal without
words like race or discrimination...

...I was in a relationship with a women for four years before she told her parents I was white {she was sihk} , and her parents had her choose between love , or family...I made the choice for her and walked away...I had always told her I would not come between them , I am over it , but deep down I still miss her smile...

It means a couple of women I dated, of the same race, had similar hygiene problems. You know... bathing habits, use of deodorant, and other things. I don't know if it was a cultural commonality or just coincidence, but dey be stankin'!!!
