Dating outside your race

<p>what kind of trailer park trash says “i want me a thick white *****”?</p>

<p>Anyway if you want good interracial dating then college may work out, but if it doesn’t then move somewhere like NYC or San Francisco or DC or even Atlanta.</p>

<p>I only date other hairy lemons. </p>

<p>Sorry everybody I’ve shut down -.-</p>

<p>Yeah, some people will be less attracted to you because you’re black. Some people are less attracted to whites and Asians and Hispanics, too. Preferences vary wildly.</p>

<p>I see some interracial dating (but not a lot, since my school is too white), and plenty of people I know don’t have any sort of racial requirement for people they’re interested in. Others do; one of my Asian friends seems to be interested only in black girls. Everyone has certain things they’re attracted to; sometimes this leads them to prefer certain races.</p>

<p>Personally, I don’t have any overt preferences, but who knows, it’s quite possible I have some subconscious ones. I rather hope not, though.</p>

<p>

How about a lime with a chinstrap?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Maybe. Pics please?</p>

<p>If I found them attractive, sure. However, I tend to find that Asian/African guys don’t tend to attract me all that much. If they’re cool guys, I definitely hang out with them though.</p>

<p>I’m a Black guy. I grew up in a predominately white area. And to top it off, I was pretty much the only black kid in my class, so I wasn’t really exposed to females of my own race. But now that I’m older and in a more diverse crowd and aware that we still don’t live in a post-racial society, I prefer to date inside my race. There are just some things as a minority that can only be understood by other minorities.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Actually, preferences on a larger scale really don’t vary wildly.</p>

<p>There’s a reason why many black, Asian or non-white Hispanic males have a thing for a white girl, particularly blonde and blue-eyed and why a lot of guys have an Asian fetish, particularly geeky/nerdy guys and why so few white, Asian, etc. go for black girls, etc.</p>

<p>People are a product of their environment, whch is made up of their peers and the media (which also influences their peers).</p>

<p>Otherwise, we’d see the various preferences even out in no., but they overwhelmingly are skewed towards certain demographics.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You either are ignorant as to why or you do know why but don’t want to admit it.</p>

<p>That whole “personal preference” thing is just a convenient excuse.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It always amuses me when people pick on the Asians for this - like as if blacks or non-white Hispanics are any better.</p>

<p>Or for that matter whites.</p>

<p>People don’t make comments when it’s an “all-white” group and even when there is a minority, it’s usually a token minority or 2 who is totally “whitewashed.”</p>

<p>How many times has anyone seen a token white person in a group of largely blacks or Asians (well, except for the white guys w/ an Asian fetish)?</p>

<p>Otoh, most often, the token minority in a largely white group is an Asian.</p>

<p>^^^id rather have a guy like me for me not for an experiment\fetish but how would I know if I’ve never dated a guy outside my race…I don’t really get the white-wash thing…ppl call me that but I have like no white friends but only asian guy friends and mostly black female friends…I doubt they can tell what type of music I listen to b/c I have my own style that’s kinda a mix of different style</p>

<p>Anyways one of my friends that calls me ‘white wash’ wears stupid hollister and is black claiming she’s more ‘black’ than me and I’m not! Hollister,A&F and aserostdale ect. are ‘white’ brands said to have been racist so why buy those expensive clothes when the owner is racist?!</p>

<p>If ppl at my school consider me as the girl that doesn’t dress\act alk ‘black’ when o well that would explain why black guys don’t hit on me anymore but guys outside my school can’t possibly know my rep so why have they stopped? Idk but I was kinda glad b/c only guys like 5+ yrs would try to get at me and it wasn’t in a respectful manner.Now the types of guys I like just stare at me but never approach(they never did but atleast now they notice me) no matter what race…I don’t expect guys outside my race to show interest but It’s interesting how some notice me now b/c before they’d put their head down or it seemed like I didn’t exist.</p>

<p>At the end of the day an attractive guy is attractive no matter his skin tone or facial features.</p>

<p>How do you delete a thread you started?</p>

<p>You don’t.</p>

<p>Life is all about learning experiences and your going to college your going to have the time of your life. You’ll meet people all shapes sizes and colors. Dont be judgemental of everyone and dont be afraid of rejection. I dont have a preference, I’ve seen white guys iabsolutely adore and some handsome black men.(i’m black and hatian) For some reason hispanics dont do anything for me. My advice is go after what you like and don’t let stupid society norms control you.</p>

<p>There’s absolutely nothing wrong with dating outside your race. If you like the girl and she likes you, whats there to loose my friend? Haven fun!</p>

<p>^well Congrats hopefully you’ll enjoy college.
I’m black too and I find all races attractive but to be honest I don’t think I could date outside my race unless the guy was half black because we’d probably have some common ground. Plus if I dated a guy outside of my race I would probably worry 24/7 about what other people are saying/thinking about it. I don’t mind being friends with them but I just couldn’t be more than friends but who knows that might change I’m only about to be a senior in high school this fall.</p>

<p>It’s probably true for some, but I just find it weird if people factor in skin pigmentation when it comes to choosing whether or not to date a person.</p>

<p>But the thing is that its not only skin pigmentation that is a factor. It’s a sad fact of life but people ARE treated differently because of their skin colour. For instance I have white friends who are extremely open-minded, not racist at all, but still occasionally make jokes like ‘OMG, you sooooo need a tan’ and hahahha its so funny because I’m black. Its just that people outside your race are not going to be able to emphasise with all that things relating to where you’re from or how people treat you. The point I made aside, I would date outside my race because to be honest I’m attracted to all races and I can’t afford to be picky :P</p>

<p>When I was in kindergarten we celebrated Martin Luther King day and we talked about how black people used to be treated differently but now everyone can be friends. I’m the kid that stood up and said, “Wait, some people are black?!?” I hadn’t even noticed because no one pointed it out before and my parents just treated everyone the same.
It doesn’t matter. If people care, they can deal with it themselves.
I’m dating someone who is the same race as I am and that had nothing to do with it. We started dating because we have a lot in common (band and swim team). I would be open to dating any race. People in college are a lot more open minded.</p>

<p>Well I’m black I’ve dated outside my race before mostly Latino
but this past year Ive really started getting into white guys I don’t know why
“I think its just a phase”</p>

<p>There isn’t one race that I would not date. I’m pretty open minded
I think a lot of it has to do with me being exposed to interracial dating at a young age,seeing other people in my family date/marry Chinese, white,Latino, Filipino people</p>

<p>Plus my parents moved me to a neighborhood where there’s nothing but latinos,polish and Filipinos and forbid me from venturing outside the neighborhood so I don’t know many guys inside my race unless it’s a family member</p>

<p>just go for it</p>

<p>Where I live it’s quite common to date outside your race, this is also true at many colleges (I would stop short of saying most as some colleges re less accepting or lack diversity). Actually, I’m the odd one out in my group of friends, I’m in a long distance relationship with a same race guy (I don’t have any objections to other races, I have a slight crush on an Indian guy, actually,maybe I just like non-Americans).</p>

<p>I am multiracial (Hispanic, Native American, and Caucasian). That’s how I get around it. lol</p>
