Dating Outside Of Your Race...Could You???

I totally agree that the families are another matter. I used to be married to someone of another race, anyway his mom would tell his father "yes sir", to his every command...I was like...I hope my husband don't think I'm going to say "yes sir" to him...anyway, my husband would try to be domineering like his dad, however it did not work with me....I would be like..."you do it" or "what is wrong with your fingers"....anyway, his dad did not like me & started speaking another language when I came around.

 

yes. I've only been with women outside my race.

 

i wouldn't have a problem with it at all. you never know who youll fall in love with

 

You're damn right we are!

Although, I'm a really pale anishnabe. Blonde, too. I get it from my dad's side... Y'know, being half-white and all.

Anyway, I have no problem at all dating outside my race. My better half is half native and half black... And god damn is he ever gorgeous.

 

i think it's really beautiful

 

....yes, i could.

 

Of course!

 

Several years ago I dated a wonderful young lady that happened to be black. Maria was a wonderful young lady that had both inner and outer beauty. A black friend of mine introduced us and actually encouraged me to ask her out. All my friends didn't care at all then again most of my friends in that area were hippies or Appalachian Trail hikers so they were pretty cool to begin with. I lived in Harpers Ferry WV and the locals there and in Charlestown didn't give us any flack over it but we did get a few stares. I'm sure we did look a bit unusual with me and my tie dyes and huge beard and Maria in her urban wear.

Maria's ethnic background didn't matter to me. She was a really cool, open minded person that liked me for who I was. She even started diggin' The Dead and she absolutely loved Janis Joplin. She thought Janis Joplin was black the first time she heard "Piece Of My Heart".

Ethnic background doesn't matter to me at all.

 

I've dated outside my race...many times.

 

I already narrowed the field down by fifty percent by being hetero, so there is no way that I am going to limit my options any further. Though I see the human race as one race, I know what you all mean, and I think that besides making sense, not limiting your choices based on ethnicity shows love to me. The more tricky type of relationship from an internal perspective is different views on spirituality, which is often a problem cuz one or both have a desire to convert the other. If both can accept the others beliefs, though different, then it can work. I say from an internal perspective, cuz from an external point of view, I find that I hear the strangest questions from people regarding my partner, who is of a totally different ethnic background. These always stump me, and when it is family or friends asking, it seems to inevitably lead to me severing ties with whomever has an issue with my love.

 

Although I've never actually dated anyone from another race, I have no problems with it. But that's mostly because of where I live. I don't even know anyone personally from another race. :/ But, you see any hawt oriental guys, send 'em my way.

 

I am white and I married a hispanic man. We made two little bi-lingual babies lol. It has nothing to do with the leather and everything to do with the soul. My husband and I joke all the time about the racial aspect. I guess it is our way of keeping things light hearted.

 

um yes. Race shouldn't come into it. This makes me mad, that people are still picking their friends/ partners etc just because of the colour of their skin or their religion or whatever. People are just people at the end of the day. When I go out on the pull or meet new people I don't think, oh he's white so I won't talk to them. That's just fucking stupid.
Makes you realise that people are still as narrowminded as ever.

 

of course I could

 

OK, so I took the Poll and voted no. Why? Honestly I could careless about what other people do because it doesn't involve me. My reasons are because I came from a family that believed it is wrong. I don't think its wrong but I couldn't date another race. Now if I had a kid and they grew up and dated another race I would be open to it. As long as they treated my child right and at least made an effort to make responsible choices I could accept it. And who wouldnt' want their kid to have someone that could support them or make it together. So my answer is it's not a bad thing, its just not me.

 

Of course I would. In fact, the guys I find most attractive happen to be of a different race than I (as well as a different country, seeing as I have more of a soft spot for the UK blokes than I do the American dudes).

But really, it all depends on how well you mesh with that person. If you can talk to that person and really grow to enjoy being with them, then it doesn't matter what race/country/religious background/etc. they come from.

 

im white - dating a filipino. no bother to me, we're all the same


my grandparents on the other hand...

 

I would NEVER date anyone who is not a member of the human race. We are all one race - Homo Sapiens. If an alien would try to probe me though, I'd firmly say no. Same goes for critters...

 

I married outside of mine. My wife is Vietnamese, and I am Scots/Welsh. Our children are beautiful, and we raise them to appreciate both cultures. We celebrate European and Asian Holidays, we take them to all sorts of festivals, they learn about both, and are not taught one over the other.

My son has a kilt, and he has silk asian clothes, they both watch vietnamese childrens shows, as well as english childrens shows, etc.

Sure,I like the idea of being with a scottish woman, I like the idea of being with any woman, race never should be an issue. If you just dont find certain features attractive, then that is ok, but the race itself doesnt even matter.

 

I was married to a Korean woman, have two children by her. I still speak fluent Korean, so does my daughter, but my son, though proud of his heritage, doesn't really care much. We experienced a lot of discrimination and insults in west Tx in the late 80s but it only made us stronger.

Right up to the day the bitch left me for another guy...

Eh. Live and learn.
