dannykeyz831 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I need to start dating women from other races. I'm latino and grew up around latina women but I'm just fed up with these broads. Now I consider myself a pretty decent looking guy and have no trouble picking up women but I'm just not compatible with any of them. I need me a white girl or something haha. I'm of irish, french, and spaniard decent so I'm sure I'd be able to blend in pretty well when we'd go over to her families get-togethers Seriously though, has anyone ever just gotten fed up with their own race that maybe the person out there for you is going to be someone that you would have least expected to end up with, someone of a different race or culture?

Ninjainpajamas Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I dated almost exclusively hispanic women when I was younger and not so much in my mid 20's till now. Never necessarily intentionally stopped dating them but from the culture stand-point I could imagine what you are referring to I just don't want to come out and say it in case you're talking about something entirely different, but I'm pretty sure what you're talking about because even when I've dated them here and there later on It was definitely what I expected to an extent but in no way do I think along the lines of "this is what I'm going to get dating one". There are definitely certain things I don't tend to agree with on latin culture, but I'm the rogue type. When you date women of other cultures/backgrounds there can definitely be a difference in the dynamic of things. Expectations may be entirely different, the way you interact with family...the family dynamic, these are things you'd need to pick up If you wanted to integrate and got serious with someone. My dating/relationship experience is diverse, but I can't say that race/background made a big difference for me because ultimately it came down to how you feel and what you had together. You may have to "adjust" that's for sure though. However It'd be foolish to say that not every culture is open to that kind of diversity and many have expectations that you may not meet by default, maybe because you were a latino alone. All in all, you may be judged by your occupation, background, family values, morals, etc... in a way that you're not used to. You've really got to take it case by case though because some people are more conservative and others more liberal. Depends on the type of woman and her family as she'll be heavily influenced by her family if they she is close to them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Seriously though, has anyone ever just gotten fed up with their own race that maybe the person out there for you is going to be someone that you would have least expected to end up with, someone of a different race or culture? I never got fed up with my own race (white) but I got fed up at dating men from my ethnicity/culture at one point (Eastern Europe). I met someone recently who may or may not change my mind but otherwise I haven't dated anyone of my own background for about 20 years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mesmerized Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Good luck! I find latina women to be much more sweet and fun than white women. Being in California, I don't think it'd be hard to date girls from any ethnicity really. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I never got fed up with my own race (white) but I got fed up at dating men from my culture... I haven't dated anyone of my own background for about 20 years. Me neither. I can't imagine dating any man who didn't have an English or Scottish accent. Maybe Welsh -- just saw Rhys Ifans in Pirate Radio. I work with a Mexican woman who said she married a white guy because Latino men were too controlling. Another friend from South America just divorced her South American husband for that same reason. Edited August 6, 2012 by FitChick 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Radu Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 In HS i had a thing for dark skin [in my country this means Roma ... gypsy ancestry], and i had 2 major crushes on girls who were like this. One of them had dark Indian type skin, caucasian features and the most beautifull green eyes. I've dated whites [90% in my country], but i wish to try to date a girl with darker skin [olive], i'm actually jealous of the ones of you who live in the US and have such diversity at your fingertips. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
eleanorhurting Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 what about latina women is it that bothers you so much? could it be that they were things about the specific women you dated and not latinas as a whole? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author dannykeyz831 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm of irish' date=' french, and spaniard[/b'] That does not leave much room for the latino component.:laugh: Maybe that is why you cannot handle latin women, you are not really a latin. Can you be more specific? I'm Mexican. I was just stating that I'd be able to blend in well with "white" women because of my european ancestry (look at my pic) which I ended up joking about. I can handle latina women, but sometimes I just can't handle the way they present themselves sometimes. I dated almost exclusively hispanic women when I was younger and not so much in my mid 20's till now. Never necessarily intentionally stopped dating them but from the culture stand-point I could imagine what you are referring to I just don't want to come out and say it in case you're talking about something entirely different, but I'm pretty sure what you're talking about because even when I've dated them here and there later on It was definitely what I expected to an extent but in no way do I think along the lines of "this is what I'm going to get dating one".

Depends on the type of woman and her family as she'll be heavily influenced by her family if they she is close to them. Wow!, never really looked at it this way. Guess I have just been frustrated lately with the whole dating thing that I started generilizing latina women as a whole. Best reply on LS so far, thanks! More latinas for me Either way, I don't really get too annoyed at women of my own race but sometimes I question the way they are raised when I see young girls on the bus being very loud and explicit in front of so many people. Either way, many black girls I meet are just fine . But yeah, I like Latinas too . Black/Latina mix = :love:. Or Black/Mediterranean. Or Black/Middle Eastern. My point exactly! I just hate the way they are always cursing and being so loud and obnoxious. They show off their good like they are at a god damn strip club and dress that way anywhere they go, church, sports event, family gathering, etc. I think that's sexy and all but If I was dated one of them, people would think I'm dating a whore. what about latina women is it that bothers you so much? could it be that they were things about the specific women you dated and not latinas as a whole? Well latina women around here either have very very low standards or really really high standards. I've dated beautiful latina women, but who have multiple kids, an awful way of speaking, no education, just nothing going for them really and I end up backing out because of this. I've also dated latina women who are going to college, no kids, good job, nice house, cars, etc, good morals but with this idea that if your not a frickin doctor or some millionaire, they don't see a future with you. There really isn't any balance with them, here at least. Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm Mexican. I was just stating that I'd be able to blend in well with "white" women because of my european ancestry (look at my pic) . I think you look Mexican. Antonio Banderas is Spanish but doesn't look Mexican. Spaniards look more Italian (to me). If you don't like Mexicans, date Argentinians or Colombians or Brazilians, etc. There are a lot of countries and cultures south of the border. A lot of beauty queens come from Venezuela. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You mean I have that mexican look or you can tell I'm mexican because people usually think I'm mixed. I don't have as much Aztec blood as other mexicans which is why I'm not dark like a typical mexican guy. You should see my mom. Light brown hair with blue eyes. That's where the confusion comes from. Anyway, ya I guess I can travel the world in search of someone but I shouldn't have to go through all that trouble. Link to post Share on other sites
nonexistent Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Who said you have to travel? I'm sure California has enough diversity of latinas. I live in NYC and I've met and dated at least one girl from every country in South America. There's just plenty of them here. I guess depending on where in Cali you are. Unless you want someone who is native from their country then by all means go travel. I'm not one to travel just to find someone either, so I appreciate the fact that we have diversity here in the US. On the note of latinas, I experienced that Puerto Rican and Dominican women ranked high on the "I have a lot of pride" list. This can lead to some problems considering that if they don't think you're worth it, they'll just string you along/toy with you. Venezuela was definitely my best experience as she was the most down to earth latina girl I've ever met. Uruguayan was the a similar experience. Colombian might lean similar to PR and DR girls.

KungFuJoe Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I much prefer the Latina look...but personality wise...all the Latinas I've been with were so different from each other...even if they had similar ancestry. Maybe it's because I'm in Cali and its so diverse here. Even the Asian women I've dated weren't anything alike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
eleanorhurting Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I am latina. I am Puertorrican. I feel like I am... just me! I am proud of being latin but I do not feel like that defines me or the way I act in relationships, the way I dress, etc. I am educated (I am going to be an MD next year!), I dress pretty conservative and I try not to say bad words. I don't think I'm loud but I do talk a lot and pretty fast! Do I have high standards? Maybe. But I think people of any nationality/descent/race could have high standards. I think Ninja is right in that you are just generalizing. Just meet girls and treat them on a case to case basis and don't let the new ones pay for the mistakes of the ones you knew before!

I've had the best sex of my life with Latina women, especially Puerto Rican babes, and any time I'm in the mood, I go after them. They have this sort of passion and intensity that's unmatched. I admire that and it's not found in other women from my experience. But with that said, my relationships with them have been anything but a fulfilling one. Latin women have been a pain in the ass to me, always with a attitude for no reason, talking crap they know nothing about, so on and so forth. I'm actually considering getting my hands on the black woman once again. It's been a long time since I've nailed her. I just wish she had less of an attitude as well.

Fitz Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Well, I sympathize with you OP. Personally, I'm sick and tired of everybody's race/ethnicity. IMHO they all suck and all have stupid hang ups -yes, including my own. Pick your poison. Link to post Share on other sites
monkey00 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've mostly dated outside of my race since my early 20's so I'm used to it. Almost all my friends and co-workers are in interracial relationships anyway so it's pretty much a norm for me here. My only criteria is that they have to Americanized and moderate-liberal. I can't stand conservative girls. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I love variety, I think for me that was down to exploration more than anything. When I left my country a lot of people were still very 'stuck in a mud' types who had never done anything in their lives. Since I moved to the UK I've dated men from all around the world and it has been fun English country boys are definitely my favourite though Link to post Share on other sites
