Are you attracted to men of other races?

[Anonymous]

Before I got married I think I dated just about every type of guy LOL! I dated: African-American, African, Jamaican, White American, Irish, Scottish, Latino-American, Venuzuelan, Argentinian, Italian, one Swedish guy, British, South Indian, and I think that covers it. The only "ethnicity" I have not dated is Asian, although I had a couple of crushes on Japanese-American guys.

So going back to OP's original question, I guess I'd be a resounding YES!

I don't care if I get flamed, but I want my kids to look like me (Scandinavian descent) and only dated people who wouldn't have super dominant genes. I'm not racist and have no problem with anyone daring whoever they want. For me it was just a preference.

Does anyone else find it weird to be thinking of what your kid will look like before you go on a date with someone?? Even weirder that you want them to only look like yourself?

Who wouldn't want their kids to look like them?

Yes, it's cultural.

Cultural to be wimps? Why is that?

They are raised to be smart, industrious, rule followers. Working hard and playing by the rules isn't sexy in our culture. (I don't know enough about other cultures to say whether this is universal or just some sort of pathology of the American woman.)

PP here who's white married to an Asian. I guess people who like white men in America are equating "sexy" with "macho"? In my experience, white men are so full of macho bullshit that they are next to impossible to be with. My DH is very masculine in a way that doesn't require him to posture and act like a ridiculous, insecure masculine caricature like most white men I've dated. Because it's so "masculine" to insult women, drive super fast, play video games all the time, and pretend to hate being in a stable relationship. Ugh, just thinking of my experiences dating white guys makes me groan -- it was like dating 30-year-olds who were perpetually mentally 14.

What kind of white guys were you dating? If you're dating educated, UMC white men you shouldn't have these issues. Maybe the desirable ones weren't into you (which would explain you having to marry an Asian guy)

I think it's wrong to say collectively for instance, "Oh well...I don't find Black men attractive at all...Or Hispanic men...Or Asian men...Or...Etc..." Because there will ALWAYS be an exception to any given rule or statement.

For example, I have certain friends who will remain nameless who swear up + down they will NEVER ever date a Black guy...NO WAY!! Then I say..."Oh sure...So if T.I. came up to you and asked you out, you would show him the door...am I right?!" And I always get..."Well now, T.I. is hot!!" Blah, blah, blah.....


Once you start to generalize and pigeon-hole people, you are only asking for trouble because there will always be that one exception to the rule that will just love to prove your ass wrong. Lol.

Yes, as long as there is no 'victim' mindset involved.

What's UMC? United Methodist Church?
I'm not this poster, but I am a little insulted by this post, as I am married to an Asian guy and it's not because I "had" to. What kind of guy do you consider "desirable"? I am educated, fit, and above-average in looks but I am not into the whole American sports and drinking culture that many "desirable" white guys are into and a lot of white girls either are into or pretend to be in order to be with these guys. I'm also an undyed brunette who isn't good at sports and who likes classical music and museums. I'm not insulted that a certain type of guy wouldn't be "into" me because of this.

I dig Caribbean men, except for some of the Hispanic variations. My guy is from Barbados.

Or fetishizing.

In college, I was pretty much "the black girl" that non-black guys dated. (There was very little interracial dating on my campus, despite it being a very large school. The exception was the foreign exchange students from Scandinavia --they dated black guys almost exclusively!)

I could tell during the first date if the non-black guy had a black girl fetish. If he did, he didn't get a second date.

2 generations from now the majority of Americans will be bi-racial and at long last we can put all race crap to bed.

The Asian and white guys I dated had them and it's such a nice, masculine look. I don't like a bare face on any man. I used to date about 50/50 Black and Latino men when I was younger. I date more Black men than anything now lately. I have been told I prefer caramel men.

Black woman here and I agree. Not attracted to bare faced men.

Interestingly, someone noted that black men who were with white women most often had no facial hair. And white guys with black women had facial hair. Very interesting observation.

I do too! I have a big crush on Abhishek Bachchan. That man is sexy! I find most of the younger Desi men in Bollywood films extremely attractive. Unfortunately, I almost never see those types of men out in public here in DC. Now when I visit New York or Houston I see attractive Indian men all the time. I do have an Indian neighbor who is very hot. If we both weren't married, then I wouldn't mind hitting that a few times. LOL!

Google Sendhil Ramamurthy

He's too pretty.

I find Israeli military men hot, but not the frummy guys I see walking to shul on Georgia Avenue. Surely the same genetic group in broad terms? I have a bit of a uniform fetish though.

The pudgy, bespectacled Asian math TAs in my college days: Not hot. The 30-something 5'11" Chinese lifeguard at the pool last summer: Smokin'.

Middle height, middle-aged Italian American cops: pretty hot. Middle height, middle-aged Italian American apartment manager: no (and I think he knows it because he always looks so sad).

Your post is hilarious!! Thanks for the chuckle.

No never have been. I don't even like blond men!

Been going on since the plantation days. Not all biracial children in slavery days were the result of a white slavemaster/black slavewoman encounter.
