Why won't you date outside of your race?

Question

Is it because of your parents or prefrence?

Sarahr123 · Accepted Answer

Because I am personally more attracted to my race and get along with them better. I am an Indian. As some will be aware, Indians have many ethhnicities and I am a Bengali. I personally prefer Punjabis, Bengalis, Marwadis and some Madrasis like Tulus, Tamil, Kannada people etc. I was raised in the UK but I am EXTREMELY Indian at heart. I may look, act and dress differently most of the time but in essence I am as Indian as it gets. I am very proud of my Bengali culture and I love to wear saris, I love durga puja, I love roshgulla and sondesh. Perhaps that’s why I love certain South Indians because we have similar clothing and cuisine such as our love for seafood. I love Bengali fish curries like doi mach and muri ghonto as much as I love Mangalorean fish curries. We love our silk saris. I love watching Hindi, Bengali and Marathi language daily soap/TV serials etc. I am also immensely attracted to tall dark handsome men like Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Ramp etc. Nobody can beat them. I had a crush on Shah Rukh Khan since I was four years old. I have never had a crush on White men, Black men or any other type of Asian like Mongolians/south east Asians etc. My attraction is mainly South and Central Asian. That means Indians, Afghans, Persians. Most Indians are a mixture of Persian/Western Asia/European and sometimes some people have some African.

Has anyone categorically said to you they will not date a certain race?

Speaking for myself, I usually find men of my own race the most attractive, but I've never ruled out races either. It's all about the individual, not a group of people.

It's not racist to have a preference for your own race. You can't help what you're attracted to and I know plenty of people who have preferences outside their race. There's a different between 'I wouldn't date that race because I don't like them' opposed to 'I tend to be more attracted to white men'.

Personally I don’t care. I’m white. But I have dated Latino, white, Asian, Native American and black. There were some cultural differences and challenges at time. But if I find them attractive enough and they have a decent personality we can work past that.

It’s not racist if you choose not to date a certain race because you don’t find their physical features attractive. It is racist if you have prejudices about how they behave (especially if you didn’t take the time to get to know the individual).

From my observations this is a bigger deal to women than it is to men.

NyceGuyFinishingLast · Accepted Answer

I do date outside my race. My parents tried to brainwash my into believing that we shouldn't date outside our race. But, I am half white and half Asian. Makes my dad a hypocrite after marrying my stepmom. What they really meant is I shouldn't date black women.

I like women of all colors. I could give a damn about skin color. I love diversity.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I have dated Hispanic, Asian, and native American women.

iboobs · Answer

It’s because I’m only attracted to members of my own race. There are some subconscious reasons behind it that I don’t feel on the top of my head but I strongly believe they play in the background of my mind. You should always remember that a normal member of any species wouldn’t want to copulate with something that will downgrade their genetic fitness. I only date to marry and I’m not going to ignore my instincts just to make a point.

1. The kids would be less privileged than me. 2. I didn’t want a kid that looks nothing like me and then complains about it. 3. I didn’t want a kid who is confused about their identity. 4. I wouldn’t be able to identify with my partner’s experience and be able to understand it sometimes 5. I could unintentionally offend my partner without realizing it or I couldn’t feel comfortable just talking about anything with them 6. I don’t want to be associated with libtards 7. I don’t want to receive attention or hatred for dating outside my race. 8. I don’t have the ghetto personality that can handle and combat the hatred. Nor would I want to be associated with any of those ghetto girls who date men that look completely different from them.

natured · Answer

Actually I did, and it's the best decision I have ever made, not everyone agreed with it, because not only is he a different race but also a different religion. But honestly, we get along pretty well despite our differences. But it's our differences that made our relationship actually flourish and interesting.
We literally never get bored. OBV we have our ups and downs but who doesn't? I think dating something out of your own culture should be considered normal, at the end of the day LOVE IS LOVE

wegotproblems · Answer

I have almost exclusively dated outside of my race besides one person, but here’s what I think the issue is:

Racism.

I think race mixing is a good thing because it helps teach tolerance as well as bring us closer to a world where we accept each other.

We will all be the same color millions of years down the line anyways, avoiding mixing races is pretty stupid.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I already have. I nearly married an Indian girl and had kids with her. I, eventually, caught her cheating on me! Oh, well!! HER loss!!
Back in my teens, I was still going by what my prejudiced parents felt and would NEVER date a black girl. In a minor way, I still feel that way but, I've long since seen quite a few I wouldn't mind being with!! I actually had a thing for one who was one of my fans!! I KNOW we hugged but I'm not sure if we actually kissed.
A few years ago, I was playfully acting like I was in love with another black girl I used to work with. She knew I was just playing but would let me hug her and sometimes even give her a kiss on the cheek. She had a boyfriend so, I wasn't about to take it any farther than that.
Otherwise, I fell in love with a Bulgarian girl but we never got past talking online, sadly. She WASN'T a scammer, it was legit!

LonewolfMeme · Answer

I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t date someone the same race as me because I didn’t like them but because every African American male I’ve come across are rude to me or have something going on with them that makes me dislike them. Like I can admit if I find an attractive black male but most times it just doesn’t click.

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

I already have.. dated Natives, German, African, and Korean didn't work and thats okay... Right now dating British... I am part Scottish, Irish and Ukrainian.. so even tho were both white our ancestors were on two different sides of history.. love comes in all shapes and sizes

AnggieGirl · Answer

Dating is fine but not reproduce.
Sometimes dating your own race has ups and downs. One up is there’s lots of communication between the two of you that never has to be said or put mind to, it’s simply mutually understood. Everyone should be polite and kind to others preferences because we are all allowed to love who we love ❤️

sd1223 · Answer

I personally will date whatever race, I don’t really have a preference. One of my crushes was white, and I dated a Hispanic or I guess Afro-Latino guy for the first time. He was half Dominican and half Salvadorian. My parents married within their own race. I know my dad dated all kinds of different girls. For me it’s preference, I don’t discriminate, if I find you attractive and interesting and we vibe pretty well then I’m down.

MCheetah · Answer

This doesn't apply to me. I don't care about race. It's an arbitrary and stupid trait. I do however care about personality and looks. I'd date any race of woman who was right for me, but most women won't be compatible with me, nor will like me. I suspect average black women are the least compatible with me.

TsundereMatrix · Answer

I noticed I’m mostly attracted to redheads which are usually Caucasian. I don’t know why I’m attracted to them. I just am. But also my parents like to make racist jokes and if I bring a partner of another race home, I don’t want my parents to make them uncomfortable with those jokes.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

A persons, race, ethnicity, sexuality should not come in to it.

it’s the person you are dating.

yes I’ve dated various ethnicities in the past, but it’s been the fact it’s a pretty girl at the bar, out shopping etc that has interested me, not that she is of Indian descent, or Kenyan etc etc.

my preference is for Red heads, which considering I live in an area where Blonde is very much the common colour, makes it more of a unique sort of thing.

TwistedTube · Answer

I'll date outside my race. No not only. I just don't consider race to be an important part of the "equation" if I find someone attractive, and I consider their personalities to be great then that's halfway enough for me. Next come our believes and wants for the future, but what race they are will probably never be part of the reason for dating someone.

imGirliNterrupTEd · Answer

My Boyfriend is not my own kind. He is Actually Russian and very different from any othera I have dated. I think its true what they say about “Culture” and “Cultural Differences”

kevyhanma · Answer

Well I’m a guy so I take what I can get I’m not gonna tell a girl who wants to fuck no your Korean i only fuck black girls... that’s just not realistic

I’m pretty sure most guys feel the same I mean look at my great x4 grandpa he was super racist and still cheated on his wife with his slave my great x4 grandmother

pussy is pussy😂😂

UnicornU · Answer

I’ve dated black and Asian before and I don’t have any problem with any race or country 🏳️‍🌈❤️

UK-NaturistGuy · Answer

Personally I would not generally consider seeking a romantic relationship with someone from another racial group due to seeing the amount of prejudice they face especially mixed-race children. Having said that if I met the right person and the feelings we had for each other were strong enough I would not reject it purely based on those reasons.

Oceation · Answer

I'm open to dating someone of any race, as long as I find them personally attractive and I like their personality then it's not an issue for me.

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

I date people of any race (including elves) if I find them attractive

little_rose · Answer

As someone who's pretty sure she's mixed race, I don't think I'm in a good place to say that I wouldn't date outside my race lol

In fact, I have dated outside my nationality before haha. Love does not care about ethnicity. I'm sure I will keep dating guys from other countries with other 'métissage' in the future.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

The why i have or do is because i don't believe race is more important than being with the right person. I know there is true racial tension always but man I feel like the only way people are going to get that we're all the same race is until aliens invade. Then all of a sudden this shit's going to be like we better all come together...

Arcreactor81 · Answer

I would. I don't care about race.  Just Minecraft.

Jet-Blaque · Answer

there no reason to. the women I like a lot of other women try to imitate their body slang style clothing. black women come in all shapes and colors. got pretty eye color curly hair.
never had too much of attraction for other races. I can see why people think certain people are attractive. but culturally i stay with my own and who I can relate to.

whether its Eritrean, west African, American black or bi-racial or multi-racial they look good.

Miah02 · Answer

I would date out my race if they were attractive to me

jakejacobson110 · Answer

I would date any race if they were up to my standards, but wouldn't marry unless they were European or east Asian, and would only have kids with a European. I want my kids to look like me and have the most success in life and have the best genetics. Some ethnicities are better at certain things naturally, but overall I think Europeans have it the best.

yourbabygirl921 · Answer

I only date outside of my race since I find those people more attractive than my own race 😅 sorry just Asians aren't my type

menina · Answer

I've never dated, but if I did the only reason why I wouldn't date outside my race would be if the guy was a racist or from a racist country. Otherwise I would have no problem in dating a man who wasn't black.

Qdbrown · Answer

Very unlikely. I am pretty picky within my race. To the point it usually takes years before I find a person worthy to date. Most of these people don't do it for me. A lot of nuiances of other races lose me.

NamerOfStars · Answer

What makes you think I won't? My parents were kids in the 60's, saw how stupid racism was, and taught their kids to not judge people based on skin color.

HairyPoppins · Answer

I would assume for most it's because of a racist family who influences them not to make decisions like that. I personally have dated many different races and find nothing wrong with the concept.

nolabels · Answer

I'm a member of the human race. What would I date outside of my race? A spider, perhaps? A hedgehog?

Avicenna · Answer

Although I do date interracially myself, I don't think we should criticize people that don't want to date outside their race. It's their life and their preference.

Jessica405 · Answer

I prefer to stick with my own race and nationality. Luckily, the guy I fell for matches those criteria.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

How dare you accuse me on not, lol. In all seriousness, I think I would and would probably go as far as saying, I think I'd be more compatible with women from outside my race, or relationships.

poneglyphs · Answer

nope, I want to date outside my race, because it's fun seeing other cultures. Just can't find anyone to date :)

crownhotline · Answer

i am okay with dating out of my race, it’s just my parents. i don’t know how they’ll react to it. they’re very racist, and if i were to date someone that isn’t the same race as me i’ll keep it a secret from them.

Katebfun · Answer

I would days any race, have had dates with other races but never officially dated outside of my race long term. People are people regardless I like diversity.

Jenngirl00 · Answer

There is nothing wrong with it. If I am attracted to that person, race should not be an issue with anyone. It is my choice. Even though I know people who are against it

RingOfFire · Answer

It's about who you are and are not attracted to. Most of my white friends only find white women attractive. So why would they date women they don't find attractive? Just to try to prove they aren't racists or something? That's insane.

BCA6010 · Answer

I do/have, and race has very little if anything to do with who I date. Cultural values are far more important.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I only date the human race.  I date those who share similar core value as me. That has work well.

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

I would date outside my race, I just haven't as of yet because my town is overwhelmingly white, so I most of the gay guys I meet happen to be white

Andres77 · Answer

All three marriages and numerous girlfriend/hook-upswere outside of my race. Two black ex-wives (I was young and poor judge of character), third and current wife of 18 years is Latina.

Adam1978 · Answer

I don't care about race so I date independent of it.

AgentRED · Answer

I would love to but as a Hispanic man, I find a lot of women these days really hate foreigners…even latinas hate Hispanics too like it’s wildfire

qwert1234 · Answer

I would totally date someone outside my race if I am single. There's just not much opportunity back then.

johnsmithjs · Answer

I date black women because they share more common values with me then white women.

taleswapper · Answer

Neither. I will date outside my race because to me, race isn't a salient characteristic. I just don't care.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Because a woman outside my race has yet to ask me out. It's not really that I won't date outside my race.

drexel420 · Answer

Aaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhh shut the fuck up with this God damnit am I the only who's sick and tired of seeing this shit like stf about it and this ugh just can we stop

anylolone · Answer

Well, the closest thing humans have to race is an ecotype, I'm way too mixed beyond clines to have an ecotype. I honestly don't care about such things, hot is hot.

na2398 · Answer

I would! The girl I like is from a different race. Guess what? She's on GaG and I don't care about my love's race. Could be of any ethnicity too.

dray995 · Answer

If I found the right person, I might but I’m not gonna be looking just based on race. We’d have to share the same beliefs & values.

101username101 · Answer

Because I have preferences. I specifically won't even consider anyone who doesn't share half my ethnicity. I would want them to have as much of my culture and traditions as possible

John_Doesnt · Answer

It's because I don't want a fat black girl and her drama.
