Girls, How much does race factor into who you date?

[Anonymous]

I ask because as a biracial guy black/white I was brutally rejected by a white women who simply didn’t grow up around many black people and also said she would never date me

I don't judge people by race but I do consider culture and physical attraction and sometimes there are cultural or physical qualities that are more common in one race than another. One example, is the nose, I prefer a guy with a triangular nose that is not too wide or too skinny. There are races with wider noses on average and there are ethnic groups that often have very skinny noses, both are unattractive to me. Another quality I look for culturally, is, I want a guy that respects variable social qualities and not a guy that only accepts standard social qualities and behaviours, and some cultures embrace emotional diversity and intellectual diversity more than others. The other way is the way religious communities are streamlined together, some cultures believe friendship should be based on unchanging variables like the pursuit of professional attainment, or invidual behavioural stamina, while other cultures believe friendship should be based on emotional receptivity and intellectual expression.

I only date white people because I have never met any black person that I had things in common with.
