I lost my virginity to a very funny lovely n bloody tall black guy with West Indies dna but lives in Birmingham n very British lol. And I have always been attracted to Chinese/Japanese guys too lol. And Native American guys. And guys from like uh Germany, Scandinavia, basically all of Europe lol. 😊
At this point preferably black because some nonblack men just dont understand whats ok and not ok to say around me. But i do still love the rainbow. So many beautiful men around the world. But not all understand my culture
I agree, even though I'm white. I've noticed when I dated white guys they seemed naive and unrealistic . latino and black guys I've dated seemed more open minded and experienced with life
Its not so much about interracial for me though. Im saying that i feel every culture gets what their own race goes through best... so black guys are therefore my first pick cause they understand what i go through
Whoever is my type and willing to date me, lol. I don't care about race: I've dated within and outside my race and color doesn't phase me as long as a guy treats me right.
Race is very important to me. I prefer dating with in my own race, although I am attracted to others. I find each race different levels of attractiveness. Part of the reason I hardly ever date outside my race is 50% physical attraction and 50% cultural.
Dating outside your own race can be difficult if you're both not prepared for the different cultures between the two. Ways of thinking, slang, attitudes, upbringing, religion, certain practices, views of gender or sexuality, communication and so. Some of these issues can come up between people of the same race but it's less likely, and there's usually more common ground, which is statistically true since interracial relationships typically don't last as long as ones of the same race. When people go into an interracial relationship thinking it won't matter or that race doesn't exist then you're in for a rude awakening, because it does and it will, and I just mean being culturally aware of it. Not to erase their racial identity and heritage or to have your own override theirs.
Nationality can be the same too. I would prefer to date a girl of a different nationality to me but of the same race than vice versa. Since I'm going to come across similar difficulties why not go with the race I'm most physically attracted to?
I'm English and live in the US, so dating American girls is very different from dating English girls, and I would prefer to date English girls given the choice or even European ones as we have way more in common. Certain American attitudes I agree with and like but others I hold distain for. I've had beers with other Europeans discussing the culture, many times, that just seems strange to us.
I live in New Orleans which is 85% black, but have only dated white girls. For two reasons. The first being general attraction. I get a lot of attention from black girls, but most of the time I'm not interested. There's a cute black girl at work who likes me, but hesitate to make a move for my next reason. Black girls seem too aggress, antagonistic, loud and emotional for me.
I'm a quiet white Englishman. White American girls are already a little too brash for me, so amp that way up, and no thanks. Asian girls seem closer to white girls culturally, but tend to only date within there own race, but I'd be more open to dating them, although dealing with her Asian family might be a problem for this reason too. From there end not mine. A couple Asian girls I dated back in England kept me a secret because I wasn't Asian.
So when picking a potential partner I will weigh their looks, body, and personality against their race, and ask myself is it worth putting in the effort?
That being said. As long as we enter a relationship with our eyes open and are respectful of each others racial, ethnic, and national heritage, and avoid ignorant ideas such race not existing. Then each of us will be more success in our dating life's and in understanding each other as a whole.
Well, I want to say it doesn’t really matter but maybe I’d feel more in sync with someone my own race. This is of course we share many qualities, non-physical specifically. I think I heard somewhere that the term “opposites attract” might not be exactly correct when it comes to relationship seeking. I think we all gravitate towards those who are similar to us in some way physically and non-physically. So, while I say race doesn’t matter for me when choosing a partner, I do feel like I might in fact choose to be with someone my own race or looks similar to me, if controlling for all other qualities, mainly non-physical.
I am part Chinese but I prefer honestly to date non-Chinese (non-Asian in general).
That's mainly because even though I'm only part Chinese, I still get a lot of the same downsides that full-bloods get - high expectations from parents, lots of comparing to other family members like cousins or siblings, etc. I just don't know if I'd be able to deal with that kind of thing from two sides, lol.
On the other hand, I really do want to keep my heritage so it would still be kind of nice to date, and eventually marry, another Chinese person because then it would be easier to hold onto traditions and the language (I took eight years of Chinese school but, except for being able to understand the spoken language, I am not really able to read or write Mandarin as well as I used to). I would really like to be able to do that again, and it might be easier having a Chinese partner.
I prefer to date within my own race but it doesn't really matter if i think someone is beautiful and they have an Amazing personality and they treat me awesome then it doesn't really matter , but i guess i lean more to my own race cuz it's what i am used to , when we are seeking someone we are looking for someone that has things in common so being the same race with someone is easier to spot cuz thats what we are used to but that doesn't mean i would be with a girl that was a different race just comes down to attraction personality and things in common
Every person is going to have there own preferences for dating and relationship. Mine just happened to be outside my race and now I am married outside my race and very happy about it.
I prefer to date my own race but it doesn't mean it's out of the question to date someone from a different race I prefer a member of my own race because one day I may want to marry someone and start a family and I would like a guarantee that my kid (s) actually look like me to some extent and from what I've noticed that isn't always the case with mixed kids also I've heard of some rumors that there are health problems with a mixed child though I doubt it and there's the taking pride in my race
If I'm attracted to them, then I couldn't give a f*ck... It's skin pigmentation at the end of the day... My race is the human race.. bigots, racists, xenophobes are the only people I would ever rule out dating.
Ethnicity* I prefer my own. I find them the most beautiful, and it gives the best conditions on which to date since we most likely share culture, values and conduct. But I'm certainly not closed off to other ethnicities.
Prefered my own a long time, I've ventured outside of. I don't think matters that much, more about the person and how they align with your personality and upbringing.
I would, I like a woman who is from a different culture than me, but then again, I would probably date a female space alien if I found her attractive (if they existed.)
It doesn't matter to me. There have been races I've been attracted to more, but it's not a preference, it just so happens to be that way. Race doesn't really affect my feelings towards a woman though.
