If you had to pick, what race would you prefer to marry?

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

It has to be a human race though. . .

Indian

Asian

Caucasian

African

So far, it appears that honest people are voting and those refraining in the comments are made uncomfortable by the idea of having to choose. A choice does not mean one is racist FYI. For example, an Indian man may prefer an Indian woman for sociocultural reasons because she may better understand his culture and their marriage may be partially "arranged" between families. Similarly, a Caucasian woman may prefer and African man because opposites attract.

It is interesting that no women picked Asian and no men picked Indian in the POLL.

Question like these fail to live in reality and are also limited in the global understanding of the asker. What is the person wanted to marry a Pakistani.. oh it’s not an option, however a fair bit of the world refer to Indians as Asians, that includes the pretty much the entirety of the sub continent. That’s the first mistake. The 2nd is where a person lives. Even IF I had some ridiculous notion of being attracted by skin colour, then with about 20 miles there are likely 10 girls who would tick boxes for non white. Simply looking at realistic demographics means you likely would never get a chance to date a girl from the Chinese community. Then the last one is using Africa as a Race, that shows a complete lack of knowledge. When I last looked that included Egypt, South Africa and bunch of other countries that have a mix of skin colours, my ex neighbour is married to a South African,,, she’s white.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

It is a hypothetical question. You're reading to much into it and working your knickers into a knot.

[RebelinSteel]

No knickers or panties were harmed in the opinion provided. What I provided I stand by, maybe change your user name… just saying

[TenderFantasy]

At this point I don't know anymore really.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Asians! As I am Asian myself!

Wow, I didn't know how RACIST people can be! (And yes it is RACIST considering people CANNOT HELP their skin color, race!)

I've grown up in America and so I guess that is where my taste for caucasian men are coming from, but also it's from personal experience. I've NEVER been proposed to by an Asian man despite being Asian myself! I've only ever been proposed to be a white man/caucasian man! And that was one of my exes! I think I've only ever even been seriously LOVED by a white man. I feel like they respect me better. I was even ASSAULTED by an Asian man in the past so maybe my answer is a bit biased/skewed but that's reality though. People are often shaped (their views) by what they have experienced first hand!

.. But it also doesn't mean that I am going to close my mind (like a lot of people do!) to Asians or other ethnicities. I want to try to be less racist! And yes it is racist if you think about it!

[7Phoenix7]

I would pick the person that is right for me, regardless of race. Just being Indian, Asian, Caucasian, African means absolutely nothing...

[7Phoenix7]

Update: because a lot of people, not all... like familiarity and choose what they're used to. The majority of gag is Caucasian. If the majority of gag was Asian, or Indian, I guarantee you would have very different poll results.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I don't marry anybody based on race you can be a wretched hag of a woman from any race and i'm not going to pick you over the cream of the crop, engaging, caring wife from any race.

[aceleon]

normally i was gonna go with Asian but

1- i don't want my kids to adopt small genes

2- i heard they are money oriented superficial people, don't know how true it is but i don't want that near me.

[QuietRunner]

I need to see the butt.

Some Indian girls have a sexy ass and some don't

like most women.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Consider all four options in the POLL as having exactly the same butt as per your butt preferences.

[QuietRunner]

@TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff
Indian, Asian, White, Black in that order

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Interesting.

[QuietRunner]

@TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff
But not based on those pictures. I need to find the attractive, sexy one for me

[hahahmm]

Thanks for the mugshots of fugly serial killers...

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

They're photographs that depict typical racial features used in racial studies. They're not supposed to be glamorous and encouraging bias.

[hahahmm]

Bro, I have dated lots of fine women from many different races, and they all looked better than that SO I think the racial studies people are retards.

[hahahmm]

Oh, and the "typical racial feature" of a black woman from Somalia/Ethiopia is very different than in your example. And the typical white woman from certain places is WORSE.. and from others better. ha ha ha.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

You're nitpicking.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

It isn't supposed to be typical of a specific African country like Ethiopia. The images are supposed to help a reasonable person to think in terms of a general racial category not a specific one.

[hahahmm]

Reasonable people don't pick someone generic. Let's change your question and make it about cars, "If you had to pick which car would you prefer to be stuck with for life?" And then show the fugliest cars every made in history from a few different car makers. It's a nonsense question. You also reduced the women to their looks and gave FUGLY examples. I'm pretty sure if someone "reasonable" is dumb enough to need your photo examples they also have no clue about different cultures, sub cultures, or any experience with any race in your sample so what's the point.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Ah I see, you're raging to blow off steam. I hope you feel better.

[hahahmm]

A lot of studies are BS. But the researchers make millions off them.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

They really don't.

[hahahmm]

I spent 10 seconds researching for you... some random articles. It's interesting that you claim researchers don't lie to make money. As if they are morally superior to the rest of us. I suggest you stop being a sheep because the world is going to be real unkind to sheep very, very soon.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

I was talking about the making millions of dollars.

[hahahmm]

They do make millions. Sometimes by outright payments. Sometimes because it advances their careers and they get hired by the biotech companies into high paying jobs BECAUSE they lied for the company. You'll find out one day.

[ChiTown33]

Why would I care what race she was as long as we were a good match for eachother?

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

If you married your good match IRL and she happened to be Asian, I would think that you would pick Asian in the POLL because of the woman you married thus your preference would be said woman. That would be a reasonable bias.

[strateguy632]

i find Asian exotic, prefer but not a deal breaker.

any ethnicity just depends case by case on the personality.

[andreasderjuengere]

Marriage is not my goal.

Racial considerations are not my goal.

I'll pick the one who can easily stand my bad days :)

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Are you sure? The POLL was put under the topic of "Marriage and Weddings" and you're browsing in it. Maybe your subconscious thinks differently?

[andreasderjuengere]

I was browsing ''feed'' - and your question popped up.
Marriage, as in entering a 'contract' is indeed not negotiable to me.
Where you may be right in part: a permanent and stable relationship is indeed what I target.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

It is okay to browse the Marriage and Weddings category. No one will judge you.

[andreasderjuengere]

Ha ha. Thanks...

[Berethor]

If none is ho then caucasian, clearly the best looking race.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Do you yourself identify as Caucasian or would you see yourself as Arab or something else being from Israel?

"Nearly half of all Israeli Jews are descended from immigrants from the European Jewish diaspora. Approximately the same number are descended from immigrants from Arab countries, Iran, Turkey and Central Asia. Over 200,000 are of Ethiopian and Indian-Jewish descent."
— Google

[Berethor]

Jews are complicated, as you can see in that link from wiki.

en.wikipedia.org/.../White_nationalism

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

This is true.

[TenderFantasy]

Gross how can you say that.

[Berethor]

Asians basically admit it too, so we just being honost here. :)

[Dennisjf12]

I will not get married anymore married. I like all races of women & colors, for one year I had a girlfriend in Germany, but Then she moved away I have not talked to her in years I still miss her

[Joshydavid25]

I like em all.. Red bone, hair long, short, even tall..

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

What is red bone?

[Joshydavid25]

Basically a caramel colored woman.. But I was just using lyrics to a song, I don't really refer to them like that..

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

But you just did?

[Joshydavid25]

I did explain that I was using music lyrics right? LOL..

[Starrrboy]

I was thinking about the vote , then I saw the pics and I think it just removed my penis 🤣🤣..

[AngryCarl]

Is it okay if I date people from a similar background? It is? Great!

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Perfectly fine although I do think that love is blind.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Human.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

A truly open-minded answer free of race, religion and sexuality.

[Avicenna]

East Asian or Jewish

[Jmmmfi4]

WHITE OBVIOUSLY... ANYTHING ELSE PUKE

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

I wonder in this hypothetical situation if that would remain true of say two women who were into you?

[A desert island where you would live and die with two women wanting to partner with you monogamously. One is Caucasian but extremely ugly; the other, African and considered a great beauty. Both have similar personalities.]

Would you still choose Caucasian or to remain celibate?

[Sonorous]

why it gotta be puke 💀💀💀

[Jmmmfi4]

ID STAY SINGLE... TRUST ME IM USED TO IT

[Sonorous]

but there many beautiful non-white wamens out der

[Jmmmfi4]

@Sonorous I'll SAVE EM ALL 4 YOU

[Sonorous]

I think I'm done with women for a while tbh

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

@Sonorous can I ask why? Curiosity killed the cat and if you admit that you're trying dudes, I will not judge you.

[Sonorous]

I don't know it just seems that I'm not enough for women. Like I'm almost enough but not quite all the way.

[Anno2]

Is this a trick question? Like there's really only 1 human race to pick because you're a white supremacist?

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

That is a red herring because I have not stated a position and only asked people to vote anonymously. What is so threatening about a POLL? Three of the four options are not white.

[Anno2]

Joke. Find South American, eastern european, and southern european women the most beautiful but no option.

[OfDeath]

What’s with the main picture?

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

You don't like piglet?

[OfDeath]

It makes no sense whatsoever in the context of the question.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Yet you clicked on it.

[OfDeath]

I only clicked to see if there was some sort of explanation for the mismatch between picture and question.

[OddBeMe]

Latina.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

I didn't make that an option because I didn't have matching racial profile pictures. My bad!

[BarryLiverstone]

Human race

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

Ideally, yes but that just avoids making an actual decision. So, in this hypothetical scenario consider which you would pick even if it is at random although nothing is truly random.

[BarryLiverstone]

I’d go out with the person I was attracted to. Are you claiming there are certain skin colors you don’t find attractive?

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

We are looking at what choice people would make from the four options if they had to choose. You may of course refuse to choose as is your right.

[BarryLiverstone]

You didn’t answer my question

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

It is a loaded question used as a red herring. Why would I answer it?

[BarryLiverstone]

Because I answered yours honestly. I’ve been in love with girls from a few racial backgrounds. The person matters more than her skin color. Someone with a darker skin color may have been born and raised in a monolithic lighter skinned nation. We are all mixed and no one is of a pure race.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

You're applying a racial lens to the POLL question, which isn't the point.

[BarryLiverstone]

What’s the point of the poll?

[BarryLiverstone]

Because you literally used the word “race” in the question.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

There is no finish line.
