I just want to see what people on here think..Lets try and keep this conversation clean because I really don't want to be offended today *lol*.. Would you ever date someone outside of your race? Why or why not? Let me answer for myself first to get the ball rolling...Yes I have dated (and now married) outside of my race...Dated white men for years..I dated outside of my race because I could...I think men are men (American men that is) and so it has never been a big deal for me or my family... Just wanna see what you guys all think... Let's begin... |
yep. IBTL Edit (now that there's time): I'm not a big fan of it myself, personally. But I'm a big fan of freedom of choice, so more power to anyone else that wants to do it. I'd rather see a couple that stays together, are good people, raise respectable kids. I dont care what color you are to do it. |
Yup, I think I've dated pretty much every race. If a chick is hot, she's hot, doesn't matter what color her skin is.

+1 same here, makes no difference to me. |

What's the big deal? You date who you are attracted to. Yes, I have dated women who are not white. In the military black guys would try to get a rise out of me by telling me they are dating white women. I said so what. If you are doing it for an attention grab, then you are doing it for the wrong reason. |
Been there done that, been married 16 years as for why, my squaw is the woman of my dreams. I don't get hung up on race to much. Where I grew up there wasn't enough people to be picky.
|
I understand what you are saying...I had to deal with a lot of families...But one thing I have always said to people is this--your son is not dating a goat...He is dating one hot chica who is educated and on par with any woman inside of your race... I think someone said it earlier---if you live in the city--culture is going to be different for you then it is for someone in the country...So maybe it is not about race--as it is about trying to understand someone other then yourself... |

It has to do with attraction, physical, emotional and intellectual. I've dated Hispanic, Asian and Middle Eastern women. I have not dated a Black woman. Would I? Maybe. There are certain black women I have been attracted to, but it is rare. Can't explain it other than to say that the vast majority hold no interest for me. I'm also Sicilian, so that would not go over well with some of the relatives. Then again, how little I see them, why would I care? My cousin got pregnant by a Black gentleman and had the child. They aren't married and I'm not sure they will. He is active in the child's life and fulfills his responsibilities as a father and dad. No complaints there. He is professional, educated, polite... but some relatives just aren't ever going to accept him. That may be a leading reason they never married. |
No problem with it. Hell, I killed 2 birds with one stone! One of my long-term girlfriends was half black and half Italian! It was awkwards at times when encountering people who DID have problems with it (like my MOM, for one... ), but sticks and stones and all that.

Yeah yeah the hubby told me it was a dupe---but I wanted to do it anyway Mister

just because you want to do something doesnt make it right Madam
