I personally like to date outside my ethnicity because I enjoy learning the different customs, beliefs from me , and like to meet people from different walks of life and I feel like their is more options available.In the other hand I also know that not everybody feels the same way, some people only date within their ethnicity or racial group.I wonder what is your perspective on this topic?


My perspective on this topic is...that you're kinda cute...laugh

This is my first time, and it wouldn't have mattered where she came from....cause I love her....
well maybe if she was Melmacian it would matter....
damn fur in the teeth...


As if a male Human has never ended up with female Human hair in his mouth. whoa

I have tried dating guys outside of my ethnicity but they were jealous, possessive, and very chauvinistic. That doesn't work for me.

This is a first for me but its the differences that she has that have me interested.... After all she is an Aztec princess......

happy surprise ^^^^

first time for me as well.
dating isn't about culture it's about compatibility, sharing, valuing each other. learning from each other.
wanting that person in your life.
when you enjoy each other's company, that's what matters.
and that's what we've found



flowerforyou I'm loving this!

Before i met my wife i just played the field and race didn't even come into it! A woman was a woman and i don't understand all this emphasis, about colour? People are people to me, colour of their skin isn't even in the equation? It's the person inside that counts,that's all!! Anyway, i met my wife and put my old life behind me. Glad i did also! bigsmile bigsmile

I date within the human race but, most typically i prefer the dark skin. (I guess opposites do attract). Just a personal preference.

It's a man and woman thing,nature.Keep it simple,follow what feels good,forget about where someone is from,religion,and politics.Keep it simple and enjoy for who and what we are,nothing else matters :smile:

I go for what is inside a man. A good heart and soul. If i was to look for a Canadian Native...i am in the wrong country lol
Love comes in all shapes and sizes. I try not to force it. :smile:

I'm probably damning myself by saying so, but up to this point, no, I haven't dated anyone outside my race. Ethnicity? How far are we stretching "ethnicity"? I dated a Texan once - and let me tell you, there were certainly some different societal expectations!
Would I date someone of a different race or ethnicity? If she met all my other standards. In physical attractiveness, size and shape matter a hell of a lot more than color does (but I reserve the right to be turned off by a woman colored neon green, even if she is otherwise attractive. Y'know, just in case it ever becomes an issue).
On the intellectual and emotional levels, I'm even pickier. (See my profile headline for the briefest taste of this.) There was this girl in highschool who was just generally all-around beautiful - in size and shape, in intellectual prowess, and in personality. And she was black/African American. (I want to say she was of Liberian extraction, but I honestly don't remember.) I didn't take advantage of my proximity to her (we were in the same club for one whole year) to invite her out or get to know her better, but I think that had more to do with the fact that I was a shy geek, than it did the difference between our ethnicities.

As a final note, I think there's a very important distinction between "discriminatory" and "discriminating". The first is an illogical crime, the second is having standards and taste.

You can't help who you like. We're all people no matter where we come from or what color our skin is or even what language we speak. Having such diversity makes the tapestry of life even more beautiful.
I've dated a few men who aren't like me and I would do it again. I'm looking for a good man and if I find one, skin color won't matter as long as he treats me well (and vice versa)

Nope, I wouldn't...
And has nothing to do with skin colour, has to do with compatibility issues and cultural differences, religious problems, and in some cases also language barriers.
Cultural differences between western ppl, and in my case I mean western Caucasians, can be more than enough to deal with.

I have nothing against ppl with different colour skin, I lived with Aboriginals, almost had a relationship with one, been involved with a Balinese man and had a relationship with an Englishman for 11 years.

I love culture, different people, but not in my relationship.
I don't need to-do in my life anymore. Been there done that.

I don't recognize barriers of any kind unless they are aliens from another planet... But if they have character of purpose and conscience I still might consider that!!! :tongue:

Dating is a gamble - we all start with the physical attraction. You need to spend time learning about a person's attitude and behavior as you go along........ The trick is to REALLY listen.
