I'm multiracial (white, black, native american - though people have asked me if I'm hispanic, middle eastern, etc) and I would say 9 out of 10 guys that hit on me are Hispanic or black.
I wonder why this is? I usually date white guys and I've noticed guys looking at me but never approaching, so I don't think my behavior or looks are putting people off.
Is it because of intimidation or fear of being looked at differently? Or are Hispanic/black men just more daring?
Update: Among those guys who are interested in interracial dating, of course.

I'm white, and I'll just say race has never stopped me from asking out who I want. I remember being pretty brazen once when I was younger and sticking with this girl (black) in traffic through six lights until I could get her to roll her window down so I could ask her out. Then she showed me this really large engagement ring. I just said he was a lucky man and moved on.
I don't know why guys are hung up on this. It could be the fear you mentioned, though that only seems to cause problems in certain regions of the country. Just keep being you and the right one will approach you.
There are guys who are intimidated and there guys who thrive at it. I think it just boils down onto a guys core beliefs of himself.
It really depends on a lot of factors. In my case I am of Filipino origin but I look very much hispanic. But having grown up in a place where I am the only Filipino guy I sometimes forget that I look different to everybody else and that I am not of the caucasian race.
Compare that to a cousin of mine in Vienna where there is somewhat a good number of Filipina girls, he is not so comfortable with caucasians and other races and tends to go for the filipina girls because he can relate and connect with them much much easier.
No we're not intimidated, at least I'm not. It's just that girls, especially white girls, and I don't mean to sound stereotypical/racist, give off this vibe that they won't look at other ethnicity besides white. Plus, I have heard and read that most girls, usually white and middle eastern, prefer to date only within their ethnic group. So being an asian man, my solution is to look for asian women only, or perhaps hispanics because of the cultural similarity in america.
Some guys just prefer white girls. My guy, thankfully, likes girls with light skin. But yeah, I think some guys probably are intimidated. Or maybe they think that you'll only want to date darker guys. And I think hispanic and black men are definitely a bit more daring. It's a cultural thing. Hispanic and black women are more likely to see the attention as a compliment, but white girls are more prone to being offended. So white guys end up thinking that they're not supposed to approach women.
U know I wa wondering the same thing because I'm black right. And it depends what country ur in In england (where I am) white guys are the most common race there so they would be the ones to hit on me. And because ur in america there will be more blacks so I just think it depends what country ur in tbh. Don't worry too much race and colour is just a label but who you are is what makes you YOUU ! :)
It would depend on what part of the U.S a person is in. In the town and school I go to black people make up a total of .01% of the population.... no exaggerations. so there it's not just the fact that there are more blacks, it's also the local/regional culture and how they view people of color - 3 months ago
Does your girlfriend constantly bug you about watching too much television? Maybe she gets upset when you meet the guys to watch the big game or maybe she just hates that you are a permanent fixture...
I'm sure that many of us have gone onto Plentyoffish.com, okcupid.com or even Craigslist personals in order to find someone that we can possibly date. Now I know for myself and for many others I have...
