Pretty Fly Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Hey all, I have a question... I don't know whether it's because I'm a blond haired, blue-eyed guy with fair skin, but I think girls who are the opposite to that looks-wise are incredibly attractive. That is, dark eyes, dark/black hair and olive/tanned skin. Especially, I think a lot of Indian girls are very attractive. (For you UK people, Shilpa Shetty off Celeb Big Brother is hot!). I live in London and when I go out to a bar, I frequently see Indian girls hanging out with Indian guys. I rarely see an Indain girl hanging out with (for want of a better word) a "white" guy. Now in no way am I suggesting anything to do with racism here. My question is, are Indian girls more naturally attracted to Indian guys or does the "opposites attract" thing apply and they are attracted to caucasian guys too? As I would love to go up to one of these beautiful girls and say "hey" and start up a conversation. Now normally I don't have an issue with chatting to girls in bars, but I feel a bit intimidated by the fact that when I see an Indian girl. they don't tend to hang out with "white" guys. Am I creating a problem in my mind here where there really isn't one?
miss snoopy Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 If you'e attracted to someone, go and talk to them like you would anyone and yes, you're creating a huge issue when there isn't one. Interracial dating is as old as the hills, especially in the UK. The worst that can happen is the girl won't be interested, and this applies to all races.
norajane Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 A lot of Indian girls expect to marry Indian guys...arranged marriages are the way a vast majority of Indians in India get married. That tradition does carry over even when the families are in Western countries. Odds are, even if it's not an arranged marriage, the girl expects to marry an Indian guy because of their traditional culture, so she's not likely to date a non-Indian guy because falling in love with a non-Indian would be a bad idea in the long run. That's not always the case, certainly, so give it your best shot. But don't be too disappointed - even if she likes you, she might not go out with you.
Guest Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I am an Indian girl (living in India) and i may have an explanation for this. well the truth is that Indian girls too r fascinated by 'white' guys, but they tend to think for long term(marriage). and it is misconception here that 'white' guys r not that loyal n commited. that's why they go for indian guys only

Really? That's interesting. I guess I'd better go and strike up a conversation then and let them find out that that isn't the case!!
princessa Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I agree about Indian women being culturally inclined to date for marriage, and within their own culture. That said, there must be many modern indian women who don't discriminate. How do tell these ones apart? For one, try looking for indian girls who have a mixed circle of friends! If she's only hanging out with an all-indian crowd, that could be an indication of how attached she is to her culture.
