Do white guys like Indian girls?

[Anonymous]

And if they do... I don't get why (I'm Indian).

Indian parents are so conservative they'd never allow an inter-racial marriage unless they're cool people.

So are the guys just having fun/crushing? Or do they actually really like the girl?

[ConsultantIsBack]

I've thought a couple were pretty when I lived in Northern California near many Indians. But, I've noticed extreme cultural inclusion, many really struggled to assimilate into American culture, which is problematic for an Indian girl to date outside of her culture to say the least. This is one root cause for the stereotype in the US that Indians are really awkward in my opinion.
You saying parents are extremely conservative and would not allow interracial marriage is consistent with my understanding too.

[heavensgift2girls]

Guys that want a relationship like the fact the girl has been raised so conservatively. It makes for good wife material. The problem is usually the parents won't let her date outside their race, so most white guys don't really give much thought to Indian women, since they see them as not being an option.

[kaylaS91]

You kind of answered your own question as to why white guys, as well as guys of other races (Asian, black) would be hesitant about being interested in dating Indian girls. After hearing so much about how conservative and often altogether against interracial marriages, it makes sense that many guys would prefer to avoid all the hassle and go for girls with whom a future would involve fewer troubles related to family/culture.

They fall for the girl for who she is. Not for who her parents are.

[yucel_eden]

Wrong, in a case like this parents are also taken into an account.

But with an English girl typically no I dont.

[lumos]

@yucel_eden I'm talking purely about feelings though. You can't control who you fall for.

[yucel_eden]

That I don't disagree, but I may not go out with a girl due to her parents like In this case

[lumos]

@yucel_eden considering that asker was asking purely about feelings, I wanted to emphasise that the parents usually won't affect someone's feelings. But of course they might affect whether or not that person wants to seriously date the Indian girl.

[yucel_eden]

See I don't know where you are from, presuming English or American. Your family won't. Other cultures, for example Indian like the answer or mine, originally Kurdish will effect us. It's different cultures, but yours won't though I guess

[lumos]

@yucel_eden I'm from Finland. And seems like you don't understand what I was saying. I was saying that you don't control who you fall for, and you might fall for someone whose parents are strict. But you can still choose to not date that person, because you don't like their person.
So, have feelings: yes.
Date: not necessarily.

[lumos]

You don't like their parents*

[yucel_eden]

Agh ok kool. Misunderstood.

I don't often see that interracial relrionshio sround

[MyUsernameRules]

Many do. And there are many interracial marriages between white guys and Indian girls so I don't really know what you're talking about. There are many parents who are okay with it. Even if many aren't in the beginning, they will accept soon if they notice the guy they like is good.

If this question was asked by an Indian guy about white girls, he would be bombarded by white girls saying how Indian guys are "obsessed" and how they "fetishize" and blah blah blah.

"they'd never allow an inter-racial marriage unless they're cool people."
I think that's the case for every parent. No one wants their kid dating some scumbag taking advantage of their child.

To answer your question, yeah. You have to play it smart though. Some guys are going to use you regardless of his race or yours and others are genuine.

[Riggers]

I see girls from there just as good looking as girls from anywhere else?, I dont see why their race would be an issue?

[davesmit]

at a certain point in your life you are going to have to grow up and start acting like an adult. Its not up to your parents who you fall in love with. if you want to marry a white guy then marry a white guy..

[neoagent1]

I have seen some absolutely gorgeous Indian women in my life but they are few and far between.

[Asker]

really? Do you know of any Indian actors you find beautiful?

[neoagent1]

I don't watch Indian movies. All the ones I saw were in real life.

[Asker]

Hmm. In Indian culture there's this whole stigma against women who aren't fair. I wonder if in real life other cultures find those same women to be attractive.

[MyUsernameRules]

Against women? Oh please. It's against Indians in general. Darker skinned women have it much easier than darker skinned men in India when it comes to dating or being liked. Unless the darker skinned guys are either tall, rich, buff, or of a really high caste. It's annoying when Indian women act like only darker Indian women have it bad. Especially when the men have almost no shot. It's just that men actually admit to preferring lighter skinned women while women don't. But through observing, you can clearly see darker Indian men have it much worse than darker Indian women.

[dudegrt09]

Yup most of them really like them... also Indian women are less likely to divorce them. I am Indian and I'm into white girls while my white friends are into Indian girls big time

[bcromartie]

Love goes beyond color.
Love goes beyond creed.
Love goes beyond culture.

That'll be $22.99 plus tax.

[Rick-Lewis]

I like attractive looking Indian women but fucking hate black people.

[Melcart23]

I'm not white and I still don't like Indian girls in a romantic way

[Anonymous]

your a typical indian girl wanting a white guy.
They are probably having fun because you never really see an indian and white marriage

[MyUsernameRules]

There are tons of Indian girl and white guy marriages. Especially in UK.

[Opinion Owner]

@MyUsernameRules I live in england in a very rich area filled with indians and i haven't seen a single one.
You hear of the odd one

[MyUsernameRules]

And I've been to England. Well London mainly and in London, it's not rare at all

[Opinion Owner]

@MyUsernameRules I come from a very rich family and my family knows pretty much everyone. I've been to so many wedding its ridiculous, and not a single one has been a mixed marriage. You only hear of someone that you dont know who is marrying someone of another race.

[Asker]

I think it may be even rarer amongst rich Indians.

The thing with most rich people is that they care about their status/image etc. and I can imagine they would be concerned of what other people think hence they wouldn't really marry outside of their culture.

Rich people tend to be pretty conservative in their pursuits of professions, and also when it comes to marriage.

[Opinion Owner]

i do know average people too. And i do walk through town and see who indian people are dating.
What religion are you from.

[Anonymous]

They really like the girls, and the culture is part of the reason. The ideals of self respect etc.

[Anonymous]

i have liked a few indian girls before, but most just kept to their own types.

[Mesonfielde]

It seems like a terrible idea to me.

[Mr_Darcy]

not in my experience. just the food.

[bubbletrouble]

Quite a few do
