Is Ethnicity a Factor/Preference in regards to Dating?

<p>Honestly, I’m only attracted to white girls. Call me racist if you must…</p>

<p>it’s true i’m attracted mostly to white girls and possibly asian girls (most asian girls in my town aren’t really that attractive but when i’ve been to an asian country and there were plenty of attractive asian girls there) but ultimately i can be attracted to girls of any race.</p>

<p>it’s really personality that determines whether or not i’m interested in pursuing a dating relationship.</p>

<p>Physical attraction has nothing to with racism. True, if you’re racist, you probably won’t date men or women who aren’t of your race. But some of the most open people may be racially selective when it comes to dating.</p>

<p>You’ll find someone, so relax. And because I’m not naive, I know that healthy relationships have an element of physical attraction.</p>

<p>I’m not really racially selective (I mean come on, I’m a freshman for crying out loud! I haven’t even been on a date :o:D:p), but the best looking girls I’ve seen usually have long black hair or blonde hair.</p>

<p>And golf, sounds like you’re attracted to Nazis :stuck_out_tongue: :D.</p>

<p>I think it is foolish to say it’s not. It shouldn’t be the deciding th factor, but it does play into it. I mean, although looks are not the most important thing, you still have to be physically attracted to the person.</p>

<p>I’m Asian and currently dating a white girl.
Yes, I’d prefer Asian and White . But once in a while, I do have a thing for black and hispanic girls as well, however definitely not toward those ghetto people</p>

<p>Honestly, I prefer Asian and White (I’m a white female), but I have dated people of other races just the same.</p>

<p>No particular preference.</p>

<p>I’m an african female and I have no preference…race isn’t anything to me…my parents feels as though I should marry anyone who loves me…my whole family isn’t so fixated on race and I love it.</p>

<p>I would love to say that I don’t have a preference, but I would be lying if I said that typically, I’m not physically attracted to African-American and Asian men and women. There are always a few exceptions but usually, it just doesn’t happen for me. However, I am very much attracted to Hispanic women and Middle Eastern men. I think it’s just a matter of personal preference. I do have to say that out of all the people I’ve hooked up with, only 1/7 has been of a different race, and that’s my present boyfriend (he’s Syrian).</p>

<p>yes. it. does. me being a black guy ridiculously attracted to white girls, i would know. jk, it really doesnt matter, i like white girls but anyone thata cute with a great personality, ill give it a shot.</p>

<p>I didn’t date in HS and I’m pretty sure one of the main reasons why is because I’m a black girl who likes white guys. Maybe college will be different…</p>

<p>I have no preference, though I do not like blonds, generally. Tall dark n handsome mmmm</p>

<p>I have liked every type ever: white (including blonds), black, chinese, korean, indian, indonesian, middle eastern, hispanic, and everyone else :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>My current fad is: Indians haha</p>

<p>to OP: I’m in the same situation.</p>

<p>I find myself mostly attracted to white guys. It’s not like I say “No” to all other races, it’s just that white guys appear the cutest to me (with a few exceptions-Larenz Tate :wink: ).</p>

<p>How do I say this without offending somebody…?
I’m not your typical “get in your face, be all loud, black girl”. But I see that black girls are automatically getting the short end of the stick because of that stereotype.</p>

<p>No. I dated a person that wasn’t my race and it worked out… until we broke up…</p>

<p>For me it isn’t an important factor. I’m okay with anyone as long as we have things in common and a possible long term relationship. Though for some reason I keep on attracting white males despite being Hispanic. Other Hispanic guys usually ignore me. Hahaha.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Unfortunately, ethnicity (or rather race) does often play a role in dating; people tend to date what’s familiar or what are society’s idealized versions of beauty.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You know, a lot of people say the same thing for black males.</p>

<p>Btw, the black women I know are classy, stylish and attractive - now, that’s not saying that all black women are such, but one can’t make generalization based on what you experience or see in the media.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You are contradicting yourself.</p>

<p>So how about dating an Asian male who isn’t in the “Asian bubble” (you know, a “whitewashed” Asian guy)?</p>

<p>There’s more to your so-called preference than you are admitting.</p>

<p>Well… I’m a female Indian/American and I’ve always crushed on white or hispanic guys.
I was raised in Iowa- which is like 80% white so I guess I was just more comfortable with people like that…?
Several guys have asked me out, however, so I am assuming that not all white guys only want to date white girls.
However, after I moved and went to school in New Mexico, absolutely no one wanted to date me.
I guess they all assumed I was ‘different’ or something.
And now I’ve moved again… to Texas.
I really hope the colleges in Texas will be much better than my NM experience… :P</p>

<p>As a white, fairly attractive, male… I don’t have a particular preference, but I find myself not very physically attracted to hispanics.</p>

<p>Asian guy and I am attracted to asians, whites, and certain hispanics (no grease pls). I am seldom attracted to indians, but certain ones are pretty cute.</p>

<p>Although Asians/Whites are for me on average the most “good looking” to me, the cultural bond I have with asians (hey we’re the same people!) is pretty influential. I am more inclined to talk to another asian, more comfortable, and we by virtue of being the same ethnicity have many similarities and things to relate to. The cultural edge makes me most inclined to date asian women, even though white girls do look just as good to me.</p>
