I think it depends. Look at that first picture you posted: look at how happy the two of them look. In the second one, she looks happy, whereas he looks more like he really needs to pee, and is trying not to give that away until the picture's taken and he can run to the bathroom. That's probably just an awkward picture, though; I have a digital picture taken when I met Doctor Demento, and while I look like my normal self, his expression makes you think someone's pointing a gun at him.
But what matters is how they feel, not how they look. And thinking on it, I do suppose there's some advantage in not having worry about your partner stealing your sunscreen. THAT'D be a fun conversation to have, if I dated a black woman:
"Sweetie, aren't sunscreens usually based zinc oxide?"
"Um, the physical ones, I think. Why?"
"Because yours says 'May contain up to 30% concrete'."
"Well, that's what you need when your ancestors lived in a place where 'the sun' was considered a myth until the fourteenth century."
"Oh, come on, now."
"Don't believe me? Turn the bottle over."
"Wow! I've never seen a SPF label written in scientific notation before!"
"You're just jealous because YOU can't get sunburned watching fireworks.".
I'm also interested into interracial relationship :) I don't see race, colour or whatever, but inner beauty.
Black woman here dating a white man. We've been together for almost 7 years now!
I don't see us as an "interracial couple." We're a couple. That's why I hate when people throw race into everything; it shouldn't matter nowadays, yet it does.
I do find it annoying when we go out, people stare at us or glare at me (I don't really notice it so much as my boyfriend). It's ironic that it's more acceptable for black men to date outside their race, yet when black women do the same, people look at us oddly. I've even been called a "traitor" for not dating a black man- by other black people! SMDH. I don't care. I date who I like, regardless of color, and that's how it should be!
Don't ask us questions about things of this nature and then answer us by saying "You're racist" because they don't agree with YOUR beliefs.
And by the way it is not ONLY black people that look younger than they are. Personally I get people telling me all the time that I look 20 years younger than I am and I'm not black.
If you ask us questions here, and want our opinions and we answer honestly, remember, YOU are the one that asked us. Most of the people that answered were nice to you so, be nice back and grow up! Quit saying people are stuck in the 50's mentality! That's not it!!! It's about preference. Period!!

Looks/is great.
People who shout "only date your own kind" are so lame.
There is nothing odd about it. What is there to be odd about?
u Anyone who disagrees with you is living in the 1950's? What was it like living in the 1950's?
It does not matter but what fucks me up is that white women or non black women get called racist for not dating black men or for refusing black men. It is not my fault that i am not attracted to black men. I also dont understand why black women get called traitors for not dating black men but black men can date everyone without getting name called. Is this the reason why black women are kinda obsessed with dating/marrying black men? I dont know. It is cave man mentality to hate women of your race for not dating the men of your race but also you can date (/"own") women of every race. Sorrynotsorry
Cultural framing is not going to go away for centuries. Is the hope that humanity becomes a unitary galactic civilization? If so, no one will care by the time the species is united for the stars. Until then, such couples will never be without external cultural judgement somewhere. If the individuals involved actually want to take care of each other, it's a non-issue.
African individuals are intrinsically closer to tribal behavior, so they tend to be wary of mixing. From couples I've known, there's no consistency on which family camp is supportive, race tends to be brought up more up front from the AA side though.
People should continues to keep what preferences they want as long as it doesn't affect others' freedoms.
Well, young folks just look like they are on a sex adventure.
Old interracial couples?
They are absolutely adorable.
But can we talk about intercultural relationships? Interracial in America always means "Black" and "White".
And then are Latinos "White" or not. And when do we stop referring to them as being Latinos?
I don't really think about it.
Couples pick each other for lots of different reasons including their level of attraction. What I think means nothing so I generally don't have an opinion. I see two people together of opposite or sometimes the same gender look for basic cues at an instinctual level, that they're together then look elsewhere.
Interracial as one person happens to find another someone they want to date. Thats fine.
When its because of political or social stigmas involved or a fetish, well its very disgusting then.
Unfortunately this is heavily involved in a large portion of white female black male relationships so its everyones first assumption. It also is a lot but to a lesser degree white men and Asian women. While as far as i know there is little to no cultural fetishization of say whites and hispanics mixing, I've never heard much about it in terms of things like "once you have a burrito you won't go back" lol. But it could be anyone on an individual basis.
Proof that there is in fact much less racism these days than back then. But people love to play the victim and blame game to makeup for the imperfections in their lives.
So annoying. Tired of people saying shit that is truly incorrect, as if it’s a matter of fact. Despite all evidence proving it to be false
I couldn't care less about other couples. People are obsessed and it's so annoying. Love who YOU love and stop worrying about what other people think and who they date.
It's all good. Never had a problem with other people doing it or doing it myself.
Unfortunately haven't had the chance to date a black woman yet, not many live here in the cold north😅. Have seen a few really cute looking here and there but you know, never during the right time.
Tbh I don’t really notice, it’s fairly common here and no one cares.
Also interracial is not just Black and White, there does seem to be too much emphasis on that.
I’ve dated Indian girls before and never had problems.
One of my friends is dating a girl from Kenya, she met her while out there working.
It's nice to see diversity. Thank God not everyone on this planet is so narrow-minded. Race really doesn't matter and SHOULD NOT matter when you love someone. I'm totally in favor of interracial couples since I'm mixed race. My mom is black and my dad is white.
The only thing that gets my head scratching is the couples that go all the way to marriage and a family especially since one of the two, scientifically the white person, will have kids that will look nothing like them since black genes are far more dominant than white ones same goes for Asian
I know it's a nightmare for pics.
But it's manageable, advised to take two pictures with different settings.
It's way more normal in real life, thanks the human brain.
Second dude is my spirit animal "seriously, another picture?"
Honestly, date whoever you want. If that doesn't hurt anyone, why care? I'm more neutral on the topic. I definitely don't favor it in my own life that much, but I can care less what other choose to do with their lives.
I don’t see any problem with it. I’m brown and my sister is married to a white man. When you’re in a relationship with someone of a different race you don’t see color. You only see the person.
It’s most people outside of that relationship (who are racist) that sees color.
My parents had a difficult time accepting her relationship at first, but once they got to know him they fell in love with him and we’re able to see past the cultural differences.
I'm white and with a Latina. I prefer darker features. Dad could never figure it out but we had a lot of Hispanic neighbors and the Puerto Rican girl next door must have left an imprint on me to prefer dark eyes and black hair
I dated almost so many girls from different backgrounds. I feel like it’s so common in California. And I’m Mexican too, and I dated three white girls, one Hispanic girl, one Indian girl, and two Asian girls. And had flings with every race. Not to mention, the others that I could’ve dated, but I was either too shy with them or didn’t feel the same. I just think all women are beautiful, so I’m don’t have a preference when it comes to what her skin color is like.
Not really to be honest, free love is what I tell my family. Let's see when I was in high school i dated a total of six white guys, two Hispanic guys, and one Korean fella. In college i dated four more white guys, another Korean fella, a guy from Pakistan, and a guy from India. Oh and my ex was white.
