Hey, it all feels the same in the dark :) Although what Ryan feels may be a bit different than from what most of us guys here feel ;)

Nah, I suspect it's the same equipment that many people here "feel" actually.

Perhaps stroke is a better term though. ;)

I'm as white as white can be and my wife is from Egypt. (Christian, not Muslim if that matters to anyone)

Better yet, this question:
Would you engage/marry someone who isn't even racially related to you?

A few examples:
African-American Male and Korean-Asian Female
Hispanic Male and Vietnamese-Asian Female
Japanese male and White Female

Certain areas/states may be more biased/leaned towards one way though, so keep that point in mind. Feel free to state your opinions


EDITEd for some clarifications and added another poll that will distinguish between age factor
You should ask if they are from Alabama

If you can get it, go for it, regardless of colour/ethnicity. Love is love ... people who can't accept it should end themselves.

Well, I'm all for it. I'm white and my wife is filipino. She's the best thing to ever happen to me, and not because she's asian.

If I was attracted to them, I wouldn't care what race they were.
Personally, I don't find many black people attractive (that's not because they're black, well, it might be, but it's just personal preference), but obviously there are white/asian/latino people I don't find attractive either. It's all about how hot they look to you, and that's all it should be about, not where they're from ;)

seeing as I myself am mixed, I voted neutral. Mostly because I hate all of y'all humans, but if you want to marry an alligator, be my guest.

i think it is odd that in America, most people don't think a Korean marrying a Taiwanese is interracial...

That is not race that is country of origin. Race is white, black, Asian, etc...

Of course I voted yes its ok, as I am white and my GF is Asian.
But yea she was supposed to ONLY date other Vietnamese, let alone a white guy. I find it funny that some other people still think you have to marry someone from your own country, let alone race. But needless to say she has not told any of her family about the white guy she is dating, let alone a guy in her bed. ;)

I am white, my husband is Indian.

Obviosly it's no matter to me. It should be no matter to anyone.

Our cultural and relgious differences only enhance the quality of our marriage.

What matters is the couple's respect, love, and affection towards one another, not their race -- we're all human beings after all :)

Asian is a race? People from Mongolia, China, Russia, India, and Japan are all the same race then... interesting :confused:

I'm Black/White and have a thing for Asian girls, so I'm definitely in favor of interracial marriage.
