Do you date people that are different from you or the same appearance wise?

[Anonymous]

Examples: I have lighter skin, light brown/hazel eyes, naturally light brown/dirty blonde hair, short, small frame and my boyfriend is Spanish, tan skin, dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, tall with a wide frame. Personality wise, we relate a lot but not completely the same.

Another example: My mom, who is east-European has a light skin colour, light blonde hair, blue eyes, short with also a small frame and she's married to my dad who has black hair, brown eyes, not that tall but still taller than her and has some English roots (I did a dna test and it said I was 44,7% east-European and 32,7% English so that's a lot of English tbh)

And my sister is also dating someone who looks like he could be from Spain or another warm country but he isn't as far as we know.

I know there are people who date people that could practically be their sibling but I don't know what makes us choose someone so different from us or almost the same appearance wise?

I understand you would not discriminate by looks but which type do you usually crush on?

I did not mean skin color, I meant just different from you in general. I'm not talking ab races here in particular

[havingfun2023]

Usually someone similar to me. I'm pale, mixed ancestry on both sides and even further back very mixed. When I say mixed, different "white ethnicities" not different 'skin races' as such.
In other words, no black or brown or Asian, or mixtures in that sense. Just a lot of UK, Australian, European, mixes.
Anyways. I usually prefer a local born and raised woman, here, Australia. I'd prefer them to be pale like me, similar personality as me, and just a submissive version for relationship purposes, like any man would say about a woman. Lol 😂😆 desirable relationship qualities to balance the relationship. Two to Tango, however, there's also the need for someone to have pants 👖
Anyways.
I could elaborate further. I'll leave it there then. 🙃👏😄🥳

[Asker]

I have a lot of mixed white ancestry too! I got east-Europe, English, Balkan, Scandinavian and Finnish 😄

[havingfun2023]

Very cool. As you can see, I'm very white. I'm not as white as "extreme white people" though I'm pale, not "very pale" though pale. Sun is not my friend. On the plus side, I like pale women, brunette (medium brown hair 🟤, think dark brown eyes 🟤🖤 bordering on brown or black eyes, big eyes 👀 without needing contacts or glasses. And they'd ideally be slim (like me), short slimmish arms, decent slim legs for a short woman, and basically under 5feet4 or much less shorter. And finally, if I could ask for a perfect world, natural E cups (larger than DD, smaller than F's). Wishful thinking. Still, a man can dream. A man, can dream ♂️😋 anyways, without entering "cringe territory", cya 👏👋🏻🥳👀

[havingfun2023]

@Lisia are you happy with your current boyfriend or their looks? Anyways, I for one am pale, therefore I thrive for pale chicks with short petite frames (as I'm slim yet tall), 20s, natural big tits on a flat stomach, abs muscles not needed, only no gut overhang lol. Anyways that's my perfect woman, someday lol. So best wishes to you of you find your man if it's not your current man, man ♂️ symbols female symbols ♀️👠 cya 😬😁

[havingfun2023]

*if (typo, not *of) typo. Lol. My bad lol 😆😅

[Asker]

I love tan guys with dark hair 😅

[havingfun2023]

All good 👍😊

[Asker]

But if I looked at the types of people I crushed on before they're all really different tbh.

[havingfun2023]

Groovy Lisia. Groovy 👍😎, you have a wholesome weekend and week ahead, you hear 😁✌🏻👌🏻🥳

[Asker]

Thanks you too!

[Sonorous]

I tend to be into people who look nothing like me when it comes to bone structure, skin tone, & ethnicity. But I do tend to be into people who are like me with certain features For instance if they have downturned medial canthal tilt, nice thicker eyebrows, non thin lips, darker hair, etc.

[DizzyDesii]

My main type is definitely the same in terms of skintone and hair color, but for the last 5 years, I have dated guys who are lighter/darker, different race/ethnicities, and of course taller than me (although back in school I didn't mind the guy being shorter). My eyes are dark brown but I have a thing for men with green eyes although the majority of my men I ended up with had dark brown, light brown or blue eyes. The dude I’m with is white/tan, blue eyes, dirty blonde, and a bit taller. Not normally what I prefer but I’m also not new to dating men outside of my main preference. The one thing we both physically have in common is that we both wear glasses and love flannel lol. Below would be a great example of my main type vs what I often end up with

[DizzyDesii]

Thanks for mho

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I was just talking with my coworkers about this yesterday,

They told,

my mom looks Slavic,

Dad and brother - Italian.

I am attracted to lots of different things, and I have an open mind about my attractions,

however, my one and only relationship has been with the absolutely stunning Asian man. Who was God’s most perfect masterpiece I’ve seen.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am Georgian, which is a transcontinental country.

[MarkPayne]

I like Georgians

[laurieluvsit]

I have dated most ethnicities but I do have a special chemistry with the same which is blonde hair and blue eyes then throw in friendly and confident... OMG!

[exitseven]

It has been a long time but I remember that most of the time I would not be interested in a girl until I hung out with her for a while. Even the ones that were hot were just not that interesting. I could meet somebody that was a different race and once I got to know her a little I could picture myself being in a relationship with her.

[AmeerX]

I like to date someone who is fairer skinned average looks and good nature. I hate dating someone who looks similar to my siblings 😅. That would look weird.

[Asker]

It happens more than you'd expect 😂

[AmeerX]

Really? I bet those couples are cousin marriages

[Asker]

Could be. I wouldn't be surprised 😅

[AmeerX]

Yeah, they are not taboo in my area.
Personally I don't like cousin marriages

[Asker]

It's illegal in my country

[AmeerX]

Really? That's interesting 🤔

[Anonymous]

As I've answered many times on here I have no "type". If I did it would be easier for me to tell what attracts me to another person. I've been attracted to women from 4'11" to 6'8" different sizes shapes and color.

I know you asked "usually crush on". But that's the point. I have no "usual".

[djmzes]

What make you use the same car for years.

Is it how it looks more or is it it's purpose and how it adapt to your everyday needs.

[Z1pTD]

I'm happy either way lol I don't really have a "type"

[TallAnon]

I honestly don't care, everything could work, if it's done right

[Crinkc]

I don’t discriminate, I am of mostly Greek origin but blonde and prefer guys with black hard and dark eyes and more tan skin than me.

[Nikki1989]

Appearance is not important for me. I look for a good personality, sense of humour and common interests.

[PeachesNCream98]

too me it doesn’t matter as long as the female can put with my silly ass

[Yellovv]

Why not I can date with any race if I like her..

[Jerre]

Skin color does not matter to me when dating.

[havingfun2023]

And I don't have a problem with skin and races, yet romantically, for me romantically, I do prefer, as I'm white to pale, I prefer white to pale chicks. Like a mirror, of sorts 👀😀😋

[Philyouup]

I play by ear, personality weighs the most for me.

[Christoff92]

I don't really care to be honest.

[Nifrayu]

Different.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Similar to me.

[ChefPapiChulo]

either tbh.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I do love white women.

[eagle1951]

different

[AydenHazor]

All of the above
