I would argue that personality, and everything involved in that such as values, is THE most important aspect, especially for a long term relationship and marriage.
Looks are important for attraction, especially at younger ages. I guess to some extent race may play into this. I personally do not find wirey or super curly hair very attractive, which would by extension put some ethnic groups or sub-groups at a disadvantage.
But even so, someone who is only mildly attractive but shares similar values and a likeable personality is infinitely more likely to make a great companion than someone you just don't see eye to eye with or like being around.
Of course not. 1. Every race can be beautiful no one is better than anyone else because of their features. I’m sure you’ll talk about dating site statistics just remember the US and UK are overwhelming majority white so obviously white people are most preferred they’re seen the most. But interracial marriages are on the rise due to dating apps so keep that in mind 2. Learning new cultures is fun seeing how other people live. 3. Thinking certain people are superior is racist. 4. I just can’t see how you’ll choose a certain race over another without even thinking about personality.

It's like some other user said. Choose a race and then try personality compatibility
If you don’t hate any other features then why would that matter. There’s no hard stops for you so why is race the first thing you look at? If you hated black peoples hair texture or our noses or lips or something then okay you’d look for someone not black. But since you don’t hate any features why would it matter. A preference doesn’t dictate it’s just preferred. If I say I love sprinkles on my ice cream it’s mandatory and say I prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate but the vanilla doesn’t have sprinkles while the chocolate does, I’m getting the chocolate. You see what I’m saying?
It shouldn't. Personality should always outweigh race.
Unfortunately this is the real world and we know that's not always the case. There will always be people that prefer certain ethnicities over others, regardless of personality. Is that fair? No. Is it they're choice? Yes.
And no, I'm not justifying it or saying it's right. I'm speaking from a realistic perspective of how some races seem to have an easier time with dating compared to others.
Race doesn't matter, in a person personality is most important. A person can be a bitch or a good person, that doesn't depend on race.
To have a preference on race rather than personality make me think that there are still a lot of superficial person.
Every race in beautiful, but I choose the people I trust for their personality not race, because race is only a exterior feature, while personality tell you who a person really is.
Race is important, but I think it's important because of the cultural associations that being a certain race has. I find Indian women jaw-droppingly attractive, but after dating 2 of them; I learned that even though the women themselves were nice people, the friends and family were horrible. I don't want to date another Indian woman, not because I have anything against Indian women, but because I just don't want to deal with the social and cultural elements that go along with dating an Indian woman.
Well, you are now Cursed. You were warned. You messed with the wrong person. The malice and vitriol of every slur you have ever hurled no longer touches those you seek to damage. Instead, these energies reflect back to you threefold. All malice is fully and completely extracted from your intended recipients and returned to you threefold. Enjoy your self-created Hell. You now reap what you have sowed. And so it is. XXX
For me race is usually more important than personality... because race tends to involve physical characteristics, culture, and speech patterns, all of which are usually more important to me than personality. I'm without question more attracted to women of certain races than other races, on average, and I don't like having to learn new cultural norms, so being of a different culture is a turn off, and culture is often part of race.
That said, personality would be more important if I had some way of immediately knowing what the person's personality is like. I can't know that until I've known them for awhile... so I've got to pay more attention to more shallow stuff early on.
I figure that's fine. It's just kind of the way people work. It's shallow but that's okay... like being more attracted to tall people.
I think I'd disagree with the view that some races are more beautiful than others. I think people just have their personal preferences.
Speech patterns? People can change how they talk. I do it all the time. And I think learning other cultures is fun. I never eaten candy from an Asian market until I dated an Asian girl, I’ve never gone fishing until I dated a white girl that’s what makes meeting new people fun.
@Birdlegs Really... this question just about doesn't apply to me anyway. You seem like a socialite. I'm not. With me it's like... okay... so I'm probably going to want to avoid being around all human beings in general. Might there be some people who I wouldn't want to avoid? Maybe so... I suppose if they are similar enough to me there is a chance I won't want to avoid them...
That makes sense it’s the path of least resistance. And you’re right I would love to be in the most diverse place possible just so I can see different cultures and things and meet new people but yea if everyone is already like you from the start it would be easy to make connections
@Birdlegs I'm sure you'll benefit from that, more than you probably already have, assuming you have. My former boss (who was great) was born in Iran, went to school in Germany, married a Mexican American woman, and now lives in Columbia, South America. He gets along with everyone. He can live anywhere. He can do business with anyone. He seems to understand different perspectives from about everybody.
Race has no bearing on personality whatsoever. I don't even know what personality people of different "races" are supposed to have. From my observation, many people of my race have a very different personality from me (and each other).
That some races are "more beautiful" than others is also a very subjective opinion. As subjective as me making the (false) claim that there is only one beautiful eye colour.

Some people have preferences of which races or mixed races they are most physically attracted to as well as other physical preferences. They're not gonna date somebody they're not sexually attracted to. Once they start dating a person who fits their physical type they will start digging deeper and figuring out if they like their personality.

Yes exactly. So race matters more than personality.
Only to people who have racial preferences and only initially. It's basically a physical attraction thing for me. I'm white, but I have a physical attraction and preference towards certain other races of women. When I'm on a dating app, I'm gonna naturally refine my search to only show the type of women I'm most attracted to. Then I will start reading their bios or talking to them to see which ones I could get along with and potentially fall in love with.
Possibly. The good news is that not everyone has racial preferences like me. I've always liked different races of girls since I was a little boy playing with the brown girls next door. Maybe that's why I love Asians, Latinas, Natives, Indians, Mixed race, black girls etc. The dating world can still be accepting to all races as long as you're attractive and have a good personality.
Asians Latinas and whites have the dating edge. But Indians blacks other predominantly dark skinned races would mostly never be first preferences regardless of whatever their personality is and that's the reality
Of course your location is a factor too. in other countries the race of majority is still going to mostly date within itself. In a very diverse and multicultural county you may see more mixing and preferences developing. In the western world it is true that certain races get more attention. The people within those "Popular" races also need to be hot for it to work though.
Gods Americans and your "race" aspect. You'd cry like little bitches for mama if traveling in Europe as race isn't that important culture, history, traditions, etc. are.
As for your question does race matter more? No.
What matters is personality. Then different cultural, religious, traditional aspects. Race. There's "rotten apples" in every so-called race only an idiot doesn't comprehend that.
Lmao a white guy with a Asian chick. I love it. Good troll man. Race doesn't affect personality culture does. At any rate race isn't real. Science has already proven it.

WMAF make the most majority of interracial relations. Makes sense when both are most sought-after in dating apps
You have to keep both separate if you want to answer this question properly.
Race does not matter more than personality. We are all God’s children. That’s all their is to know. I wish more people saw this and not let others dictate how they act.
Personality wins for me. Race can affect attraction in some ways, but that's about it. If I find someone who I think is cute and I get along with but is of a different cultural background, I don't mind learning about it.
It's the other way around to me. I think a person's personality has a lot to do with the way they look. Their facial expressions, they way they hold their self, etc.
No, it doesn’t. I don’t care what race you are if you’re an awesome person chances are I’ll become your friend, if your attitude stinks I’ll avoid you. Race doesn’t even come into play.
I don't think race should affect you liking someone more than personallity does, if you truly love them race doesn't really matter!! Me and my boyfriend are both 2 different races but that does not in any way affect my feelings for him! I believe personality is the biggest thing in a relationship!!!
It has impact but its only a part of who we are rather then what we are. it has influence but does not make you a good person or a bad person, we decide that.
>different skeletal structures >different genes >different disease immunities >different perspective of time >different accents >RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT GUISES
People fundamentally like people like themselves. Culture, politics, viewpoints. Race and sex are often not a thing although that's not too say that people don't use them as shortcuts to indicate who they think they'll like and not like.
I am attracted to the Caucasoid bone structure and that is the most beautiful for both men and women. Asians look like black people with lighter skin and straight hair.
I can't speak for everyone but for me it doesn't really matter my preferences is if you like me I like you and I forget the rest of the rhyme You got the idea
No. Race doesn't play a factor if a person has a disgusting heart or not.

sooo what you're saying is that you'd choose race over personality? wow... i don't even know what to say. i'd rather have someone with a great personality rather than worrying if they're the same race as me. i guess that's why i've been in the same interracial relationship for such a long time. you'll grow up soon and understand. at least i hope. your parents obviously failed at raising you.

It's called having a preference. Most people have it. I just worded up the ugly truth

Also i never said anything about same race or interracial dating. Whatever i said was based on interracial preferences
And before she comments “everybody has preferences” , I know people of but saying people of races you don’t find beautiful have less of a chance in the dating game , makes you racist.
But race do determine beauty. Certain races have certain facial and body features that places them first or last especially in dating. It's just a preference too because because you don't find those racial features attractive
Hun just admit, you are racist. You have a right to have a preference with dating when dating, but you feel as if certain races are more superior when dating which makes you a racist
Your general opinion on overall beauty does not determine what you think people of not your preference can get, which yes that makes you a racist. Putting a race in a more superior position makes someone a racist. You are putting certain races in a category that they have better game when it comes to dating
Now if you said “race definitely affects whether I want to date someone based on looks” I would have nothing to say because it’s your preference, however you are making your opinion too broad which is making you out to be a complete racist
I don't understand how you call me a racist. Is this because i am a girl? I have seen many men here say certain races are ugly hoes while certain races like Asian and Hispanic have superior females. Never saw anyone call that racist (obviously it isn't)
Lmao me calling you a racist because you are a girl? Hun oh please. Once you understand the concept of your statement is too broad which makes it sound racist, then we will talk
I don't think what i said is racist at all. If you have been hear long enough, you obviously must have seen way too many people worshipping certain races implying their racial features makes them superior in the dating world. Even dating stats show certain races are favoured more giving them an edge. From what i saw here, ik for sure you're still gonna call me a racist. But hey it's still a preference and you have double standards
I’ve been here long enough and what you said is racist. Think about it. I never said you can’t have preferences but you are making one face out to be more superior in the dating world and that makes you a racist.
Asker I agree with you, I am not racist but I find Caucasian or white women more beautiful and I know millions of people have same thinking but don't try to have debate over this because people won't accept and they may term you racist even though If you are not.
@Sheryash007 you are a racist also then if you agree with the asker. It has nothing to do with preference it has to do with making a race more superior in the dating game. You have a right to have a preference, you have no right to make a race seem more superior in overall dating
@hanmakev - Oh is that what your mother says to you everyday? That she should've terminated the pregnancy rather than giving birth to a waste of space? Sorry to hear that.
@CookiesAndCream2 Aw your plebeian rodent brain couldn’t think of a comeback so you just revamped mine adorable go drink n** ball sweat you n** loving bitch
@hanmakev - ROFL. Why would I waste a comeback on someone I view as less than dirt? That's the amusement I find in your fucked-in-the-ass-like-a-well-used-whore crying.
@hanmakev -- hm. Your mother fucked your grandfather & his brother and that's why she turned into a street walking whore that screws niggers, wetbacks and everything with a dick including dogs. So soorry... Do you know who your father is?
@CookiesAndCream2 there you go again revamping my comebacks if you don’t have anything original to say feel free to go pour yourself I nice tall glass of shut the fuck up mkay
@hanmakev - you are a bit more than stupid, hmmm? I said there's no point in a comeback with someone I see as less than dirt. You are just providing some morning entertainment. Your "comebacks" are pathetic at best... try harder & be original.
Careful, one more ill-considered comment to the Queen and the Curse will come upon you, boy. The Curse will stay with you always. Every slur you have ever cast at anyone will be speared back into your heart and soul, threefold. This is not something to mess with.
And i googled all those words it says you hate black, Mexican, Chinese, Jews. I could understand black and white rivalry but all other like Mexican Chinese and Jews what is the reason for that.
Did you know science has already proven race doesn't exist? Not to be confused with ethnicity. And we all know historical record has been proved race to be a false idea. Race is not only the least important thing is doesn't even really exist on a tangible level. It is all in our heads.
