Do interracial couples grab your attention when you see them?

[7Phoenix7]

Whenever I go out with my Korean friend, we get double takes, and sometimes staring etc. Some women have came up to us saying we look "cute" together.

I see interracial couples often and it doesn't grab my attention, I just see a couple. What about you?

I’m latino, but I remember flirting with this black girl in a bar once. And all the white girls were staring at me. Like I don’t care, I like who I like. And my white friend would look at me weird when I said I liked black girls. There’s still some judgy people out there despite being in the modern world.

[7Phoenix7]

Yea, fortunately most of the people I've noticed meant no harm and usually smile at us. Only a few have given that look of disapproval lol

Glad you don't let that stuff get to you

[Rob59692]

Thank you. Unfortunately, at the time I knew she liked me, but I was getting over another girl when I tried to talk to her. And I never got her number because of my sadness. And I regret it so much. She was so beautiful. And we instantly connected. I wished I would’ve gotten her number.

[7Phoenix7]

Oh I thought you guys were a couple now 😅

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

They do but in a pleasant and nice way to me, maybe because I'm also a child of an interracial couple. My wife and I are also kind of an interracial couple ourselves with me being half-white and her being full Asian. A lot of Japanese tend to ask her, "Where is your husband from?"

[7Phoenix7]

Haha 🙂

Yes for me it has been more pleasant looks, smiles, and compliments although we are actually not even a couple lol.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I like it. I think it's really nice to see ethnic and racial barriers break down this way. So I do tend to notice but I get happy each time.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I'm a bit sensitive to racial and ethnic prejudice being biracial, since I see it from both sides and don't really have that concept of "own race" or even a very clean idea of "own ethnicity/culture". I'm the perpetual outsider and not by my own choosing. So when I see interracial couples, it gives me some kind of hope in humanity.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

It's like a society where that's so commonplace might be one where I can finally blend in.

[Elena_Stewart]

For me I never notice….
If you tell me this 10 or 20 years ago, I might understand, but now it is really common to see interracial couples especially in USA. And yeah. Some of them are cute together♥️

[Elena_Stewart]

Actually, all of them are cute together 😊

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao 😊

[desidoll]

I am married to someone outside my race myself. I am Indian, and my husband is white. When I see other interracial couples, I just thought of how happy they are, just like us.

[7Phoenix7]

Yep, if anything sometimes I glance at a couple and think , "aw they look happy."

[Amur8711]

Your husband is lucky!

[desidoll]

@Amur8711 I hope so lol ☺️

[Xia1994]

You know what when I see interracial couples I see two people in love and I'm happy for them. So to answer your question it doesn't grab attention either, because after all they didn't do anything out of the ordinary all they did was fall in love and become a couple just like any other human couple.

[Xia1994]

my****

[7Phoenix7]

Good answer 👍

[snowboarder720]

I’m white and married to a black woman.


We get looks all the time. We get asked “are you together?” rather than “have you been helped?” while standing in businesses wearing matching clothes, shoes, etc 😆 people have their issues. Her and I even have code words when we want to leave a business or something is uncomfortable. It’s mostly baby boomers for most encounters.


One time we were walking around downtown and some Hoteps confronted us and had serious problems with me being with her. I was shocked but just kept walking. We get so many mixed reactions. It is what it is.


To answer your question I smile when I see other interracial couples because I know how it is and I’ve always been curious to what their experience is like too.

[Hardshell1234]

I live in a predominately white community so when I see it, it definitely catches my attention. That being said I love it and it’s so refreshing!!

[7Phoenix7]

Ah, this makes sense and come to think of it, it happens even more when we are in Koreatown where majority is korean.

[Hardshell1234]

Right and people may stare or look at you more but it’s not always a bad thing. Some may just admire the beauty of it all. I dated an Asian guy in high school and I never thought twice about it but I lived in a more diverse area back then.

[mandyfire98]

Not really. They grab my attention like any other couple I guess. Might be because I'm in an interracial relationship.

[7Phoenix7]

Yes, I think it's normal. If they look happy together then that's probably what will stand out. But on another note, you would grab my attention 👀

[TCredo]

On another note, I think you both would grab my attention :)

[NathanDavis]

@mandyfire98 on a yet, another note @7Phoenix7 I like when you both grab all of my elbow... and attention...

[mandyfire98]

@7Phoenix7

You absolutely grab my attention.

[PrettyCrumblBb]

There's this cute Filipino guy. I want to date him. I don't know if we would standout. He's kinda brown skin. And I'm pale 😂😂 I didn't realize how white my skin was tbh. When I see international couples all I think is they like each other and enjoy each other's culture.

[7Phoenix7]

Get him lol

[Amur8711]

I agree go get him!

[Joshydavid25]

For the most part no, living in Chicago while I don't see them Everytime I go out or anything I've seen them enough.. Now certain ones might catch my attention like a bit more than usual... Like anybody else besides "White" and "Black" couples.. Lmao.. Even "Latinos" and "Blacks" which surprisingly I don't see a lot of despite the fact that I interact with and am them all the time. Definitely "Black" and "Asian" especially if the girl is "Asian" and the guy "Black".. I've seen a bit of the opposite, but not much of that combo at all..

[rosemilk]

i think nothing of it

i guess because i am in one. but even if i wasn't, i still wouldn't care

[7Phoenix7]

What race are you and him? Have you ever experienced people kind of staring?

[rosemilk]

Asian and white. and not that i've noticed

[7Phoenix7]

Oh okay, thanks for sharing

[WhiteSteve]

No. I’m part of one and I forget sometimes until someone mentions it😂

[7Phoenix7]

Oh really? I didn't know lol

[Miah04]

I knew it😂

[WhiteSteve]

Haha, yeah, she’s Latina. Puerto Rican🇵🇷

[WhiteSteve]

@Miah04 what’s that mean?🤨😝

[Miah04]

You got too much flavor for a whiteboy to keep it all white😂

[WhiteSteve]

@Miah04 probably true, actually. Story of my life😂 I’ve been curvin’ white girls since like ‘04😝 They’re a waste of flavor, hahaha

[Miah04]

I ain't sayin that. But you got too much flavor to not been down.
The whiteboys who don't interact with other races act differently than you

[7Phoenix7]

@Miah04 yeah true lol

[Miah04]

@7Phoenix7 Yup we can tell😂

[WhiteSteve]

@Miah04 I know, I’m goofin’, I like white girls too, just wanted to use that gif from that old movie you probably don’t even know😜

But yeah, I hear that, haha. I like to think I’m a man of the people, I can kick it with anybody. But I do have trouble clicking with a certain style of white person, like the Dockers khakis and boat shoes with the quarter-zip sweater over the collared shirt, probably could help you manage your portfolio? That guy, we don’t really have a lot of common ground😂 I like to think I’m a non-traditional model of white dude😝

[7Phoenix7]

@Miah04 you think @WhiteSteve can dance?

[Miah04]

no😂 i seen a video of his celebration he ain't got that😂

[WhiteSteve]

@Miah04 yo, that’s MESSED UP, you only saw the “little” celebration, you didn’t get the “big” celebration….


I got all the rhythm. It’s just a matter if I have my feet that day or not, lmao. You don’t want any parts of this when I get in my zone and catch that beat😎

[Miah04]

Ok, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

[7Phoenix7]

LOL 😂

[TheSpaceGnome]

Not really, people in general tend to not grab my attention, crowds are just background noise to the thing I'm focusing on (in most cases where I'm around other people, this would be whatever I'm shopping for).

I couldn't tell you what anyone looked like, what they were wearing, who they were with. etc. for any of the outings I've been on. I just don't pay enough attention to notice those things.

[selfish-and-cruel]

They don't. I have seen many of them, so I pay little attention.

[sage2021]

Since everyone seems to be having sex with just about anyone it doesn't surprise me or make me take a double take. It's kind of like there are thousands upon thousands of mixed couples now - this isn't 1960 ok?

[Sameone]

Only when i see black women whit white man.
Or Chinese whit black man or women

And aim not raises

[7Phoenix7]

Oh, why does it grab your attention?

[Sameone]

Because, the Chinese are racist with black people
And where i life we don't have a lot of black people so i don't see a lot of couples ( black women with white man)

[NewgodOmega]

No one not even a walking alien would grav my attention coz I am too busy minding my own business

[7Phoenix7]

Lol 👽

[OtterMan68]

like every commercial with a couple today?

I have a brother in an interracial marriage.

It's no big deal

[7Phoenix7]

Lol literally every commercial

[Still-alive]

Not in any way thats about their race but more of in a general 'aww they look happy' way i'd have for any couple

[7Phoenix7]

I see 🙂

[Still-alive]

yeah and tbh thats how it should be. we all human at the end of the day. we shouldn't see race any longer. the people that do are quickly becoming obsolete. i bet within a generation this is how it will be everywhere

[7Phoenix7]

I agree, 👍

[loveslongnails]

I see two people together. It doesn't mean I don't see race or color, but it's irrelevant.

[7Phoenix7]

Right, I agree

[loveslongnails]

Beautiful souls think alike :)

[7Phoenix7]

🤝 haha

[TaureanBull81]

Interracial couples make good looking kids 😉

[7Phoenix7]

Lol ‎ ‎

[TaureanBull81]

Glad you agree @7Phoenix7

[LiamJHayden]

I really do not pay attention. I just like seeing happy people.

[7Phoenix7]

Me too 🙂

[handsomelad70]

No, because this ol' boy can't resist a young buxom blonde.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol 🙃

[handsomelad70]

YEAH, BUDDY,7Phoenix7 !!!

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It's because they looked so cute, so good together.
