Search Results: racial preference

I find this really only common (having a racial preference when it comes to dating) amongst white guys and women of all races. It really makes no sense Why is that you think?

If they aren't your racial/skin color preference, try to imagine your opinion if they were your skin/race preferences. If your ideal leg build isn't here or on poll, comment it please :)

Just to clarify, I find my girlfriend very attractive physically and mentally. I constnatly remind her of this whether she likes it or not because I adore her. However I do have racial preferences. These preferences aren't set in stone (like I don't only go after certain races). I find many attractive women in all races including her. As a matter of fact, I've never dated a girl of the race that is my "favorite." My preferences rests in the fact that within my "favorite" race, I typically find that they have a higher perecentage of physically attractive women and their features tend to usually be more soft and feminine. This preference is purely physical attraction and is not fueled by social norms or stereotypes. However, every human is different whether it be interracially or intraracially which means that some are pretty and some are not. I can easily find a black girl who is more attractive than a white girl or a white girl who is more attractive than an Asian girl. The problem is that she feels "inadequate" and she feels as though me dating her is a downgrade of what I can potentially have simply because she doesn't fall within my "racial preference". I explained to her on numerous occasions how the preference works and that the race itself isn't the deciding factor. I wouldn't immediately become more attracted to her just because of her ethnicity. It's the individual girl and how beautiful she is. And before anyone decides to judge me, obviously personality and emotional compatibility is the most important thing which she is already 100% aware of. She knows how I feel about her and she knows how attracted I am to her both physically and mentally. DO you feel that she should be upset with me over this? Please explain your votes.

Racial dating preferences? Racism? Sexual orientation? The dreaded "F word" (feminists)? The battle of the sexes? Something else entirely?

I'm curious to know your thoughts and since telepathy isn't a thing yet you'll have to speak them and help me out!

So I've been reading a few questions lately and it got me thinking that there really seems to be no such thing as superficial anymore, from what I'm seeing these days. It seems like every choice that a person has towards what their partner should look like is rationalized down to personal preference. Do you think the word superficial have a place anymore when it comes to dating selection today? I've also noticed too that girls seem to be able to get away with it much easier than guys can.

The two things that girls seem the least flexible on are height and race, and for the most part they are allowed to chalk it up to personal preference without much fuss. I'm fine with that, as long as the non-fuss is equal between the genders. But god forbid that a guy has something like a racial preference and it seems like all hell breaks loose. So my question is, is there a line anymore between personal preference and plain old superficial, or have we done away with the latter word?
