I’m a lily-white woman, 25, and am in a LTR with a white man. But he is ethnically Italian and around these parts Italians are not considered ‘white’ by informal poll. Still he is European just like me.
My only previous boyfriend was from Guatemala and mestizo (mixed European/Native American - he looked almost entirely Native American as did most of his family, but he had a half brother who looked entirely white).
I’m nearly exclusively attracted to people who don’t look like me or my family.
Dated multiple races, currently married to my own race.
White female. Dated black and native american. Currently married to a Pacific Islander.
Wow. Is it that time already? Some of your questions may have been answered in this thread.
I’ve never dated outside my own race, though I was never opposed to the idea. I guess that when I was still young enough to be dating, I knew my mother would have heart failure if I ever brought home a ‘black boy’ (oh, she always claimed she wasn’t racist, but she was, in a big way!) and I’d have never heard the end of it. Listening to my mother’s bitching was not worth it to take a stand on interracial dating! (Though we did have a couple of conversations about it, in which I made my views clear; most famous-in my mind-was this exchange in Baltimore city; we were driving along, saw an interracial couple on the corner of the sidewalk, kissing:
Mom: Isn’t that just disgusting?
Me: Uh, no, not unless they’re going at it so heavy they need to get a room.
Mom: Well, it’s just that, uh, they may have kids, and the kids are going to get picked on, and. . .
(at the time, the Cosby Show spinoff, Different World was popular, and Mom liked it)
Me: OK, look, Jasmine Guy, from Different World; she’s beautiful, right?
Mom: Yes, she is.
Me: OK, her father is black, and her mother is white; is she supposed to marry someone who’s white, someone who’s black, or does she have to find someone who’s half black and half white like her?
Mom: Just forget about it!
Me: :rolleyes: )
Anyway, I never met a guy of a different race that I liked enough to put up with Mom’s BS on the topic. By the time she died, I had married a man who is almost as white as I am. That was almost 22 years ago. I don’t see myself having a dating life outside of my ‘date nights’ with my hubby anytime soon.
FWIW, Mom never acknowledged that two of her daughters were gay, either. :smack:
I was engaged to an Asian man, I am Caucasian. He will probably always occupy the status of the One Great Love of My Life, and that’s sort of amazing, since before I met him, if you had asked me I would have told you that the one race I never found remotely sexually appealing at all, ever, was Asians. Now I have kind of an asian-guy fetish. Shows ta go ya.
(There’s really only the Three Great Races: Europid, Mongoloid & Negroid - white, yellow, and black. Interestingly, I was amazed to see that my ex, who is pure Japanese, does in fact have a yellowish cast to his skin, especially in darker areas at the small of his back and elsewhere. I guess it makes sense…the term had to come from somewhere.)
I’m a white (European mutt - German mostly) guy and have only ever dated other white guys and one latino…Puerto Rican I think. It’s been 15 years so I don’t recall exactly.
Before I got married, I spread the joy around fairly widely as far as race is concerned. My wife is of complicated ancestry, but basically “white” under some definitions (but she’s a brownish olivish shade of white).
Define “define.”
I’m Indian. I’ve dated girls of various Southeast Asian backgrounds and lots of white chicks (one of whom I have since plighted my troth to). Never an Indian girl, amusingly enough.
Indian male here born and raised in UK, now resident in LA.
I’ve dated nearly any race you can think of, but most recently I’ve tended towards east Asian such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and a Japanese/Chinese lady. I haven’t dated an Indian girl for over a year and I last went out on a date with a white woman a month ago. I tend to date a lot of east Asians because a lot of them are at the same peer level as me (educated professional) and simple demographics. LA is full of east Asians.
Prior to moving to the US I only dated white or Indian girls. I love Indian women who were not born in India, I don’t related well to women who were raised in India.
I live in whitesville. The only time I see other races is when I’m on vacation, or at college (and then it’s mostly males.)
That said, ever since I was a kid, I always wound up crushing on the more multcultural girls. But that would include someone like Britta from Community, who has just been a bunch of places. Also, my youngest crushes were always on the darker skinned girls.
Definitely.
