JuneJulySeptember Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) A common grouping I see in OLD is that white or latina women will accept to date only white or latino men. First off, let me say that almost everybody will accept white. But a lot of white women for instance will date latino and that makes sense because a lot of latino men look for all intents and purposes, white. So, how many white or latina women do you think would date black, asian, and indian men, who's facial features are significantly different? In your experience, and in dealing with your friends. Hit me with a percentile. 10%, 15%? As a second part of the question, if you were doing OLD, would you suggest a minority guy move closer to where there is a greater population of his own women?

Rejected Rosebud Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 There is no percentile, first you need to figure out the percentage of men and women of each racial category in the whole world, then narrow it down to smaller and smaller geographical locations, and then study who is dating who within each population, but you will also need to take into consideration who the nonwhite women are dating, whether it is within their own race or outside of it, it will be a vast sociological study, will you choose to undertake it? What good will it do you? 3

What good will it do you? Well, yes. But the things is that where I live it is mostly white and latina. You may not have an exact number, but women know from talking to their friends who their friends will date. I would date white and latina women, but I quite frankly feel like my chances are horrible with the whole lot of them. I feel I should move closer to the major city. There's not too many of my race women around here, and I feel that if I message them, they are too far away to respond, and even if they do, well it's far. Unfortunately, I just happened to get a job around here. Edited December 6, 2014 by JuneJulySeptember
newmoon Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 most of my gf's are white or latina. the white girls stick to white (mostly) and the latina girls go to latino (1st), and then white/black equally. have never encountered any latinas girls with asian/indian. that is just my experience and from what i see around me. 1
genuinelyloverly7 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 To preface, I am British/Irish heritage, and look like I just kissed the blarney-stone, coloring-wise. But my facial features have caused me to get questions regarding my ethnicity al my life. I have been labeled as black/white, korean or japanese/white, and native american. And for the record, I love it. In regards to men I date, ethnicity isn't as important to me as physical attractiveness, but for the last 10 years I was either in a LTR with a Trinidadian (West Indian dark skinned) man, and now I prefer to date men 'of color', but mainly because I find their African-esque features so appealing! I am open to men of all ethnicities and nations of origin. Latino men I find to be selectively attractive; and yes, the ones who appeal to me have more of the 'classically european' features present in their facial and body arrangements. But skin color alone isn't the issue at all. It just comes with the packages As to 'almost everyone will accept white'- false! That may hold more true if they themselves are white/latina, and looking through the eyes of the elitist racist old world Euro-centric viewpoint. Which I know is so ingrained in so much of the 'dominant culture' that many people just see it as their preference. And as it is entangled in their essential make-up, both genetic and cultural, it is legitimately their preference. But there are plenty of African-focused ethnicities who do not see European features as the most attractive. As to the second part of your question, I think you should go to where the type of people you want to date are. If the type of people you date generally make issue with ethnicity, then maybe you want to go where those women will prefer you. As to the whole concept of 'white' being an ethnicity, let's set that straight. Ethnicity, as race, is a social construct. Technically DNA reveals where our matriarchs have originated from, so what we think of as ethnicity is really regional heritage. White is a social construct to legitimize an enslavement of the majority of the world population for the comfort of the few. Latinas made the argument in Texas in the mid 19th century that they were by definition white on the Texas census bureau so that they could not be sold into and treated as slaves by the oppressive majority who just so happened to be light skinned, when to be dark skinned was to be instantly labeled as property and without rights or humanity. 1

The only problem is that my work is far from there. It would be kind of sad if I had to find a new job, and a new place to live just so I could be closer to a certain pool of potential women to date. It's not that easy to find new jobs and I don't want to appear like a job hopper. Just thinking in practical terms here.
bubbletea Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Not everyone has a preferred type when it comes to race... But you never know and you shouldn't automatically assume a girl won't date you because of race. My ethnicity is mixed with Filipino, Chinese, Puerto Rican. I look more hispanic than asian. I find myself most attracted to asian guys and white guys. From what I've experienced though, most asian guys or white guys do not prefer me. If I get hit on, it's mostly hispanic guys...

FitChick Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 It would be kind of sad if I had to find a new job, and a new place to live just so I could be closer to a certain pool of potential women to date. Yet you seem obsessed by it. Plan a vacation to the city where there are more Indian women and set up some dates while you are there.
preraph Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 You will definitely be more successful if you are dating within your race, no doubt. I live in a multicultural town and I think the more common it is to interact (school, work) multiculturally, of course, the more at ease people become and the more likely dating across cultures/races. Here, Latinas and blacks and whites do date with each other commonly.
ponchsox Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Latinas love gringos, especially in South Florida. If your a decent white dude and you step into a club, expect a lot of dirty looks from the Latino guys.
Phoe Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Well, I date any and every race, so here's 1 to put on the list of women who do! 1
Ninjainpajamas Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 It's probably a fairly low percentage, 20 percent or less if even that. Doesn't mean it's because they don't want to or necessarily wouldn't, you'd have to ask and try first...it's not something I think people tend to think about too deeply beforehand. But yes, I would expect some resistance...but you can experience this dating outside of your own "culture" or "race", so it's not just exclusive to Indian guys..however, dark skin does seem to be the lesser of desirable's, even within the "colored" communities themselves, so it's not like an interracial type of thing exclusively.
