does race play a factor in your dating?

[naughty]

No. I have seen very attractive men in all races. A man's physical size, character, and even his smell and voice really get me going. For example, I find Gary Dourdan, Mike Rowe, Sean Connery, Djimon Hounsou and Yun-Fat Chow very attractive.

Funny you should mention names. I was about to do a list or show pics of your ten favorite pieces of eye candy! LOL!

 

[thirstygirl]

Yes. I just simply prefer white meat.

No, as long as they are a good person and treat people with respect. My family might have a problem with it, but it's their problem....not mine!

Well, I have a question.

With the way media (at least in the US) is, Middle Eastern or Muslim guys. what do you ladies think? do you assume they are like the monsters overseas? I look like I come straight out of Ireland, I have freckles, light brown hair, pale skinned, I have no accent and was born and raised in the US. My parents are from Lebanon, and I'm Muslim.

But whenever I meet a girl and say my name (which is as arabic as names can be) I sometimes see hesitation. I try to think they are just surprised by my name, and want to comment on it, but don't want to seem stupid or something, but sometimes i think "...racist!"

I do take pride in the fact, though, that I tend to shatter stereotypes of people I meet.

from what i've observed a lot of people in the US tend to associate muslims with terrorists because it's what they see on TV and in the news. to be honest, it's also why a lot of non-muslims tend to steer away from dating muslim people. for example, a friend of mine refused to go out with a muslim man because her mom accused him of being associated with terrorists. her mom couldn't be any more misinformed.

i grew up with pakistani muslim neighbors and lived next door to them for over 10 years. they were good people and treated me and my family very nicely. for me to see how muslims are being portrayed in the media today vs. growing up with neighbors of muslim following, it couldn't be anymore backwards and ignorant as to how the media targets them.

it's no surprise that muslims get such a bad rep because of how they are portrayed as the enemy in "the war on terror." however, it's no excuse and it isn't fair to the muslim popluation in america to have to suffer through racist name-callings and experience discrimination because of extremists who come from their same backgrounds.

it's also no secret people tend to feel differently towards the muslim community after the 9/11 attacks and the shooting at fort hood, texas. but to classify something as ignorant as all muslims = terrorists is like saying all caucasians = KKK. it couldn't be further from the truth.

as for dating men of muslim backgrounds, i personally think a lot of people are missing out on some of the most handsome men--and women--out there who are fully available. a lot of muslims i've encountered over recent years, men and women alike, do not even look a thing like how americans would presume they are. they look just as "american" as the next person, they speak english just as well as any american, and they are just as normal as any american. there is NO reason NOT to date a person with a muslim background.

Just human race. Sorry Boots and Kittie. Just human.

 

[Patchos]

I date whoever I want to date, regardless of what other peoples opinions are. That said, I'm generally attracted to men who look like me - fair, anglo/european.

 

[SnitchQitch]

i suppose so. my current boyfriend is white, and i've only ever briefly went on a few dates with another white guy.... all the other boyfriends have been asian, and from my country...

should me and the current boyfriend not last(TOUCH WOOD), i don't think i would go for another white guy... i mostly don't feel much attraction to white men... except that my boyfriend is an adonis....

 

[Drifterwood]

If actions speak louder than words, then I must have a preference for women who are not my ethnic type (Northern, NW, European), and it's not that I don't like them, I do, not that I don't find them beautiful, I do. I don't know what it is.

 

[wallyj84]

I find some races less attractive than others, but that doesn't mean that all people of that race are unnatractive; it just means that the average attractiveness level for people of that race is relatively low.

There are some races that I would never marry, but in terms of screwing, I have no limits.

 

[435782]

It plays a factor for me. I think I am most attracted to what is the most like me. Which makes perfect sense. I have never been attracted to a black woman. Don't know why for sure. Maybe because my best female friend for a long time was a black woman. I have dated (slept with) hispanic and asian women but they were very light skinned.

I find this thread fascinating.

 

[D_Auric_Goldthinger]

Race never matters to me I just love women. As for my family they could careless but always warn me to be aware that outside arent as open to mix relations as I am and will try to hurt me( Which i've been through already.)

 

[DGirl]

I changed as I got older also..
I can NOT date, because I am VERY married..":biggrin1:
But, if I was to date...
I find that I like to LOOK at WHITE and Black men... BUT, if I had the chance...
I would NOT want to date either of those kind of men..
I think because, I've been to many places seen too much and just don't see myself laying next to either type of guy...
When I dated White guys I did not have NOT a one that could keep his DICK in his pants...:frown1: Or his eyes to himself....even when we were together...
Then Black men.... They wanted to FLIRT with me on the DOWN FUCKING LOW..." Like I was GARBAGE!!! !!
UGH...
Don't get me wrong. I HAVE crushes "kind of" on T.V stars and guys on this site, like it is going out of style. BUT, if I was to DATE...
I would NOT choose a White guy or Black guy...!!
But, I am am not even sure what type of guy I would date.. someone HOT maybe.... the color of them would not matter.. as long as they are not of those two.... it takes me back to the BAD feelings I had in the past...

Damn!! I speak on behalf of my bruthas when i say we're sorry. We ain't all like them the guys you dated. Some of us are trying to do good; yet there's always gotta be the ignorants ones who keeps us down. And that's a heavy burden for us good ones:frown1::frown1:.

Race - No
Personality and Demeanor - Yes

There are things some guys from certain races do that turn me off.

 

[3664shaken]

It's mostly attitude of the person for me, simply put assholes come in all forms, however I don't usually find Asian men attractive - but Jackie Chan is a cute little bugger.

Yes he is. I met him by accident a couple of years ago. Small but very well put together. :biggrin1:
