watermelonjuice Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Do you have a race that you particularly like and another that you particularly dislike? Not talking about racism here but just what makes you tick and what doesn't. If you're on online dating and you haven't seen the photos of the other person, but you know his race, which isn't something you particularly fancy, would you continue talking to him or end it based on that?

FOr a particular race, I'd end it based on that alone.
Author watermelonjuice Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 I always hear that you should date outside of your comfort zone but I'm not so sure now. I went out on a date with a younger guy, something I don't like, and ended up feeling I should have stayed at home because younger guys are just what I know them to be (even if it's throwing the baby out with the bathwater but it's just how my experience has been). Now I'm torn between exploring a little more and cutting it short.
Author watermelonjuice Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Anyone else has an opinion about this question?
robdrm32 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I find asian women to be particularly cute, to me a cute asian is better than a hot white woman (i'm white) Not sure why either.
Author watermelonjuice Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 I find asian women to be particularly cute, to me a cute asian is better than a hot white woman (i'm white) Not sure why either. So would you pass over a white woman if you were online dating?

If you're on online dating and you haven't seen the photos of the other person, but you know his race, which isn't something you particularly fancy, would you continue talking to him or end it based on that? Yes, I definitely would. I've never been into black guys, so if I were in your particular situation and the guy was black, I wouldn't continue it. I was never in the habit of messaging guys without photos while online dating, though. I think that's a big gamble.
Author watermelonjuice Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 I'm currently in this situation. I can't tell for sure what race this guy is but there's a part of him with the race that I'm not keen on so I'm not sure how attracted I would be to him. We've communicated a little. I'm neutral toward what I read in his messages. I'm keen to see what he looks like so we don't have to waste time with this "getting to know each other." But it may be too soon.
robdrm32 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 So would you pass over a white woman if you were online dating? No not at all, but if the chemistry was equal and i had to choose between an asian girl that i found attractive and another girl, i'd probably go for the asian girl. Again i don't know why i just have a strange affinity for their complexion/looks.
SierraRose Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I'm currently in this situation. I can't tell for sure what race this guy is but there's a part of him with the race that I'm not keen on so I'm not sure how attracted I would be to him. You answered your own question. Move on.

How long have you been talking? There was only one time when I talked to someone without seeing pictures first. But I was really liking what he had to say, and he did happen to be good-looking.

But I was really liking what he had to say, and he did happen to be good-looking. We've only written about 3 emails each, so 6 in total. I'm not particularly drawn to what he wrote about himself. It almost seemed like we were going through the motions, trying to get to know each other. Or maybe it was because he's part of a race that I'm not keen on so subconsciously my heart already wasn't in it? You mentioned that you're not into black guys. What about if he's a little part black? He's of quite a few different heritages.
Author watermelonjuice Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 You answered your own question. Move on. I'm not 100% sure because he's only a part of the race I'm not keen on, not entirely. So I don't know if I would feel differently toward him than if he was pure (that race).
mixwell Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I think giving someone the boot based on ethnicity is ignorant, in general I find asian and latina females more attractive than other races but I'm open to all races. I'm a white male and I have seen plenty of white,asian, latina, black, indian w/e females that are beautiful. I would never give a female the boot based only on ethnicity because I personally love all women regardless of their ethnic background because pu$$y is one color on the inside and that's pink and that's what color means the most to me.
FrustratedStandards Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Unfortunately I have quite the acquired taste for latino men. I have yet to find one that isn't jealous, dramatic, or doesn't have kids. My last relationship was my final hope. 25 year old and still has a 7 year old son. That's why I try to refrain from dating latinos. It's all drama and baggage. At least those are the ones I seem to attract.
truelovesnightmare Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I don't usually like Indian/white guys. I'm more attracted to AfricanAmerican mixed or Pacific Islander some asians. Really anythingi am lol. However my bf is indian and white and the first and only bf I ever had. And I was attracted tohim from the start. So I guess it matters.
Engadget Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I don't really have a preference, it's an attitude/personality thing. The stereotypical dumb, white valley girl drives me insane as does the stereotypical loud black woman. Nothing to do with race, everything to do with how they act.

What about if he's a little part black? He's of quite a few different heritages. race or no race, the bottom line is that you're not even that interested in what he's writing - so move on. Honestly, I really don't think this has to do with race - you're just not finding him intriguing.
StoneCold Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 You know what they should do?.... On these online dating sites you should be able to put the races you are interested in as well as your race and have it instant affect the search results... So if you are...black (for example) and only interested in white girls (again...for example)...your search results will only yield white girls who are interested in or are open to black guys..... problem solved
sm1tten Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 You can, for some of them. But it doesn't stop people who are outside of your filters from contacting you. As to the OP, I think it has less to do with race and more to do with the fact that you aren't interested in the first place. I wouldn't message with anyone that didn't have pictures, anyway.
FitChick Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I'm only attracted to a certain physical type and that eliminates a number of people. Why would I date someone I didn't find attractive?
