To be honest, I physically prefer dating outside of my race. I like darker boys (for a whole slew of reasons, not just skin color, although I prefer darker skin as well).
The one caveat is that I also like guys who are very intelligent, thoughtful, and well spoken, and the honest truth is that that's more common in whites and Asians.
Frankly, I think I'm kind of unique in this regard. I never really "fit in" back in high school, never watched all the latest shows/music videos and whatever, and I noticed that a lot of girls had views on dating that seemed a bit racist, IE the nerdy girls would only want to date the races that were stereotyped for being nerdy (white and Asian), while the girls who were attracted to darker guys tended to be more "ghetto" and trashy, if you will.22 Reply- +1 y
wow you are very light skinned haha :)

I'm a black girl and yes sure, we all bleed red at the end of the day. But you would also have to consider conflicting cultures, religions etc... If you date someone you should be thinking about if it could become long term commitment. To do that you need to see if you are compatible and if your families would be able to get along. Failing that go ahead and do your thing.

I've only ever dated my race. But, I have only dated 2 people. And I like in a 95% white population town..
I'd have to be pretty determined to date outside my race.

I agree it's only what guy I find to like and it's defiantly not a fetish
I most likely will, become I always imagined myself being with someone with a different race than mine. I'm a black dude who mostly had lots of white friends & girls who tried to flirt with me many years ago. And just want to say that I have a lot of sexual fantasies about good looking white women most of my life.

- +1 y
don't worry bout that
I'm white and race isn't really a concern for me. I've dated all kinds of races and at the end of the day it doesn't really make much of a difference. It seems like mostly Indian/South Asian girls that come onto me more than anyone else and I do find the darker skin sort of sexy in a way ;)

+1 yI would be willing to date outside of my race. I understand everyone has their own preferences. I personally do not date an African American or Hispanics. I also take into account cultural differences and parents having issues with their kids dating outside their race. so that's a big thing for me.
00 ReplyYes, however on the side of sexual attraction (ignoring personality), I dont find black women to be very attractive. In the case that a black women and I were talking, got to know one another and I find out she has quite an extraordinary personality , then yes I would date her. The same goes for Indian men.

Before Portugal became a country. The people living there were the moors. The moors were black. So I guess after reproducing after a long time with white people. That's how you get the tan color of Portuguese and Spanish people today.
