Ok here is my view. My back ground is Asian and I always date other races (White, Hispanic, mostly whites). I just do it because how the girls "click" with me and not for anything else (status, stereotypes, ect). I like to date an Asian girl but there are almost zero cute single Asian girls near my area.

But dating is one thing and marriage is another thing. I am not sure I want to marry outside of my race and have mixed race kids. It would be difficult for the kids I think.

Therefore, I would say I would date outside my race but I refer to marry my own race.Just my opinions.

Native? Native what?
I prefer to date native Earthlings but, having led a fairly sheltered life, haven't had the opportunity to try anything different.

So? There are very obvious cultural and physical differences. People have their preferences.

I'm not white but my gf is. Religiously, culturally, and physically, we're extremely compatible. I don't think race is a concern for either of us, right now or in the future.

That's complete bullsh!t. Two black parents = 100% chance for black kid.. Two white parents = 100% chance for white kid.. My argument is sufficient. Stupid is genetic too.

But, if you're trying to say race doesn't matter, you're preaching to the choir. Race does nothing other than give us variety.

I will date outside of my own race, but I have a problem with others doing the same because I'm an asshole and I feel like having a problem with it, and you don't have the option on your poll so that just gave me an incentive to have a problem with it.

Where's the option 'White, will date outside race, all other men should date only ugly girls and/or become gay'?

Why's that?

To be totally honest, I don't have a reason that you guys will think is really worth having the opinion for. I think it just causes problems, and for myself personally, I don't find people of other races to be that attractive, so I somewhat apply that to others and believe there to be another reason why they would wan't to be with someone of a different race.

eg.

You hear about white girls that like black guys. I tend to think that the reason they like black guys is for a couple of reasons.

1. Because of how things were in the past. Being with a black guy is kind of a taboo thing so it excites them.
2. Lots of girls like the stereotype of the black guys big penis

Or

You hear about people liking the white girls. They think they find them the most attractive, but they really think they are the most attractive because of stereotypes of the wild white girl.

I'm not going to say that everyone is like this. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are genuinely attracted to people of other races, but I think a lot of times it is a superficial thing, and I don't think that it is a good thing.


A lot of white wemen I know who date black men do it because the brothas don't trip on some extra pounds. White men (I'm white BTW) go fvckin ape sh!t when their girl becomes "big" Touche on the "black men have bigger penises" lots of white wemens are misguided by this myth :) Brothas also like the "wild sterotype" From what I've seen (never been with one) and heard, white females are generally more open to trying different things. The Girls Gone Wild tapes are proof of this heheh.

I date outside my race, I can't explain why because I grew up in a 99% white neighborhood, but since I could remember I've really been attracted to black females. Back when I was 11 I was into them, and I didn't even know any.


people should focus on being happy, and fvck what anybody else thinks.
