View topic - Dating outside your race/a select race

So I was talking to this guy I had kinda liked back during my freshman year(I'll be a senior this year woo) And I was talking to hom about my friend that he seemed interested in and he said he was just playing. Anyway it got around to me and he told me he "Doesn't like dark chocolate" and it hurt but its life. Now my question is what do you think about not dating a race, or dating on select race or even dating outside your race? If i like the person I usually don't care what their race is.

Depends. There's not dating someone because they're a certain race, and then there's not dating someone because you don't find their particular race attractive. I admit freely I'll probably never date a black person, mostly because I just don't find most of their physical traits attractive. I'm much more likely to date an Asian, since they fall more under what I find myself drawn to in terms of looks.

On the flip side, my uncle tells his daughters to never marry a black man because they're all drug-addicted deadbeats, which makes me want to hit him.

My opinion is founded entirely on why a person chooses to date or not date people of a certain race, rather than that fact alone.

@Bloodless: I see I see. I understand because I will not date a black guy. (It's a bit strange for people around me) I do not find them attractive, actually I think they all look the same mostly and other then that, they don't like me and have been very mean to me. I'm much more attracted to white guys, and i get soooo much crap from black girls sometimes it can be annoying.
My ex's parents told him not to date me because I'm black and alot of black people have done bad things to them. Like how a black dude hit his grandma in the heat with a gun and stole her purse.
Now that i've read your post, i think i should have named this topic different.

Racial assumptions are for shitheads.

I could see myself dating a guy of any race, especially very mixed. It comes down to individuals. I'm picky; there're only so many people that I'm really attracted to, but those people fall under pretty much all the specific races I can think of.

I really don't have a "type". Individuals I couldn't imagine up are so much more fun.

Verb all of the words.
if i like the person i have no problem dating them. there is nothing wrong with being more physically attracted to one set of physical features then another but if its because of other reasons like bloodless pointed out then i have a problem with it.

When I was still on the market, race didn't matter. If I liked a guy, I liked him regardless of race.

My only opinions on dating based on race is due to physical traits that I find attractive.
Fairer races tend to have more characteristics I find attractive, while darker races have less. I have seen at least one person of the more common races that I consider very attractive though. o3o
I tend to favour people of mixed races though. ;u; Its like the best of everything combining. X'D

The dark chocolate thing is more of a skin colour bias imo. ;3;
And all skin colours are lovely.

well the only race i date is white and mexican to be honest. most races act differently according to how they were raised. i like white people mostly because i am white. they are easier to understand.

i dont like to date outside my race i dont know why. does that make me a racist or what cause my friend told me it is.

I can date outside my race, but not too far outside my culture. There's a difference.

I would have no problem with dating a black guy. I don't see why not, if he is my type. But I would never date an African. Their culture is so different I couldn't deal with it. It's the culture, not the race that I have problems with.

I'm not sure if I could even date people from all European countries. Italy and Spain, for example. Here in the north women are treated at least equally to men, but not in the south. What I've heard, it's not the same even in Ireland. I'm not sure if I could date an Irish guy, but we'll see that next year.

Im more-so interested in darker skinned races. *fans self* oh yeh
I live in Australia, so im constantly around white guys, tho i'll often see the occasional darker tanned skinned guy and im like *drool* but most guys liek that here are shyer since they're ethnics just travelled to a new country.

Always Accepting Friend Requests

I personally never did. All nerdy white guys XDD

I have nothing against other ethnicities/races...I just never ended up in a relationship like that.

It saddens me when say, the parents of someone who is dating "outside their race" disapprove or even disown their child for it o.O That's just...so sad.

Thank you for the Berry Fairy, Dark!
You're a brat and I'll get you for this :D
I do not care what someone's race is when dating. I go by their personality most, though the looks of them also help attract me to the person.
By choosing not to date someone based on their race, it could be considered racist. If you are just not attracted to the person for some other reason (probably their personality being the biggest factor) then that is fine.

I don't care. xD Judging purely by race and not other lurking variables like culture, or personality - so just racial characteristics. Yes, I would date someone of another race than me.

Have been attracted to people across the whole spectrum of colors, haha. Different physical features as well...
I think the most attractive guy on American TV is the Old Spice guy. xDDD

I don't think there's enough opportunities for true love and true friendship in this world to be picky over such a trivial thing as race. If you love them, then why be choosy about race?

I'll date certain races. I don't find all races to be attractive, though. It's not because of their skin color, it's just because of the traits that people of that race usually have. Physical attraction is a very big part of a relationship.. if I'm not attracted to them, I probably won't date them, no matter how good their personality is. Their voice is also a very big thing to me. Low frequency sound waves soothe me. I don't have much to go off of in an emotional way so, call me cold, I have to be attracted to physical traits..
