Hopeful30 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Toronto is a very diverse and multicultural city, which is a great way to experience different parts of the world (Chinatown, little Sri Lanka, Mediterranean, etc) but when it comes to the selection of men I would date, there are very few white men (who also have to be single, age appropriate, mentally stable, preferably my height or taller, etc etc etc). Before I can even become picky, I need to find men to be picky about. Long story short, I prefer pink penis and a culture similar to mine (especially for longterm). As a white woman in Toronto, I find myself very much in the minority. Growing up in Toronto, Ive definitely seen non-white ethnical groups grow in numbers over the years. Italian, Russian, Greek and Romanian areas (and other eastern European ethnicities) have all disappeared with the influx of new immigrants within the last 10 years or so. I was just at the bank and literally the ONLY white person of 15-20 people. Usually I dont even notice but this hungry cat is on the prowl for a lion! It's so discouraging. My loins ache for vanilla but stock appears to be very low! My grandmother recently visited from Moscow and kept asking why I cant just go out and find a man, but after touring her around Toronto, she herself started to comment that she will never have grandchildren because there is no one I can breed with (grumpy old granny who is Soviet born so also very racist lol!) I guess Im just looking to connect with others in a similar situation. Assuming you are seeking a partner from a similar ethnicity, how do you cope if you're in the minority? By the way, did online dating for 2 years on 2 different sites. Nothing but leftovers on there from my experiences (sorry!). Edited February 22, 2019 by Hopeful30
GorillaTheater Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 My loins ache for vanilla This is the funniest phrase I've seen in a long time. 1
Author Hopeful30 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 This is the funniest phrase I've seen in a long time. Lol! You know what I mean
ShyLove Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I have never heard of a white person having a hard time finding a white person to date lol (I'm a minority) and I didn't know Toronto was that diverse. Do you have an online dating profile? Oh never mind just saw the online dating part lol what about a hockey game? Edited February 22, 2019 by ShyLove
Author Hopeful30 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 Oh never mind just saw the online dating part lol what about a hockey game? I've never been to one. Are hockey fans predominantly white?
ShyLove Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I've never been to one. Are hockey fans predominantly white? Yes they are At least in America lol but I do believe that there is a great chance that there would be mostly white males in the stands at a hockey game. 3
RecentChange Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Hum, nope never had this problem! While my husband is a Caucasian mutt like myself I guess I never strictly limited myself to “white” for dating nor attraction. My first love was Irish / Venezuelan, been involved with a deliciously olive toned Persian man... But also never found a shortage of “white men” in my area (vast majority that I have dated fall into that catagory). And it’s not like I am in an area that lacks diversity. Just looked up the demographics of Toronto- 47.7 European / Caucasian. My area is 28.7% “white” of non Hispanic origin (ie european). 32% Asian and 33% Hispanic (other races making up the small minority).

You like what you like *shrugs* Are you sure these statistics are accurate? And bear in mind that European doesn't necessarily mean white anymore. When i was in London, England last year, I felt like I was in the middle east. I heard the same of France although Ive never been
Author Hopeful30 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 50% of Toronto is “white” Caucasian doesn't mean white skinned, although this is a common misconception.
ShyLove Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 What kind of music do you like? Maybe try a Country Western bar or look for live music events 2
preraph Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Okay, I'll bite. So why is hockey mostly white guys? I mean, even bobsledding has Jamaicans!! But great suggestion. I would encourage the poster to join community police events because surely the police force is diverse. It is almost everywhere. Not sure about pink penises....I think you may have that confused with your marital aid, dear.
Wallysbears Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 If your family is from Moscow - then perhaps join an Eastern Orthodox type church? Or Slovak club? Check out meetups of the ethnicity you desire. But to claim white is a minority in Toronto/Canada is far from reality. 1
RecentChange Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Are you sure these statistics are accurate? And bear in mind that European doesn't necessarily mean white anymore. When i was in London, England last year, I felt like I was in the middle east. I heard the same of France although Ive never been Yes I am fairly certain. I have a sociology degree and I am well versed in interpreting demographic information. When "European" is used in this context, the reference is to ethnicity, not county of immigration or emigration. A person of middle eastern decent living in England would still be considered middle eastern decent, not English or European decent. Even if that same person of middle eastern decent arrived in Toronto via London. Here is a break down of Toronto's population last updated 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Toronto Meanwhile San Jose California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jose,_California In 1970, 75.7% of San Jose was "white of non-Hispanic origin" by 2010 that number became 28.7%. The Hispanic population here grew, while the Asian population boomed. 2016 figures appear to put "white" at 26.3% (https://datausa.io/profile/geo/san-jose-ca/#demographics) - Yet I still see lots of single white guys around! One thing our area does have - is larger male population. One of the most skewed in the states. Its estimated that there are 134 young men for every 100 young women (20-30s). While your area is slightly skewed against you - 93 men to every 100 women: Single in the City: cursing your demographics through data-visualization - MOONLIT ECONOMICS
RecentChange Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Caucasian doesn't mean white skinned, although this is a common misconception. Dictionary Cau·ca·sian /kôˈkāZHən/ adjective 1. NORTH AMERICAN white-skinned; of European origin. "twenty of the therapists were Caucasian, two were African American, and two were Hispanic" 2. relating to the Caucasus. noun 1. NORTH AMERICAN a white person; a person of European origin. "the man is described as being a 50-year-old Caucasian with a full head of graying hair" 2. a person from the Caucasus.
Author Hopeful30 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 RecentChange, you just rocked my socks. Yes, this makes sense what you said about ethnicity. I was defining it differently, but your clarification helped. And not gonna lie, I got a little turned on when you went pro with the statistics lol Then perhaps white isn't the problem, but shortage of men? Aww lol that's even worse
Woggle Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Maybe you can meet men at a hockey game. It's the whitest sport you can find. 1
