Conservative...Centrist race, of course. Leftist race, i think not.
 
So many factors enter into the equation, that it's difficult enough to find one person among thousands in the first place. It may just be that my standards are way too high, but even with those standards, I've met men of different cultures and skin colors throughout my adult lifetime that I found very appealing. I suspect it may be easier for women, than it is for some men, as men seem to often be much more visually stimulated, and more women seem to respond to emotional and intellectual stimuli more readily. And maybe I'm just talking out my ass, and don't have a clue, but that's the way it seems to me.

Not likely the underlined at all, but you have hit the nail on the head. Not only is it an issue of looks for most men, but 'what will my _____ think?, the blank usually being buddies.
My wife knew a lot, I mean a lot of women, most of them Chinese Canadian, she had "binders full of women" to offer my lonely divorced male friends....and almost every time it was no go from the guy's standpoint.
It has taken many years to learn that the fate of men rests with the inability to grow up, at least soon enough for women.

.

That is a very interesting point. I can't think of a single time that I have ever wondered what one of my friends would think about my choice in a man. It's never even occurred to me that it would matter.
 
My wife would get mad at me if I did it today but I was once engaged to someone of a different race, so yes. I would.

I think that if it does matter to them..they are not really your friends..
 
race is not a factor that i take into account when choosing a partner. my GF is the same race as me, but her race played no role. what i care about is who she is.

I have found it is not uncommon among men. It is really intense here with Indian women, what you refer to as East Indian

It is the same with all homosexuality..it is the person you fall in love with..whether their outward appearance is male or female..black or white..it is their soul you fall in love with..

Genitals don't really count..

well said.
 
Race really doesn't matter to me. The right girl for me wound up being of my race - but of a different culture. When I was single though I pretty much dated the entirety of the United Nations.
 
Though I spend most of my time at Santa Anita race track, I did merry a girl who spent her time at Del Mar race track.

So yes.
 
I did. Twice. And my (mostly-well-meaning-but-still-racist) family wasn't happy about either one.

l had some short term relationships with the guys from europe but didnt marry .l didn't marry any turkish either . but a greek used to love me and youu know we are known for hating each other :lol: my parents arent bigots but cant imagine how they would react to this .

Yes I can imagine how difficult for you this must have been.

For me, it isn't even that. It's that I don't plan to share him, so what they think doesn't matter in the least. :lol:
 
Well that's different if you did not love him..

but l am glad l didnt love.as l said before l cant guess what would happen if l gave birth to a baby whose name is kostas:lol:
 
At this point I am going to have to say know. I am unaware of any other race, other than the human race, that is of the same cognitive level as we are. So I'm limited to my own race.

Yeah, but if you hang around a blond american woman for a while, you will notice occasionally racist comments and a superior attitude. Then if you hang around an immigrant, like from Latin America or somewhere, you will notice a more down to earth congenial mentality. You will feel like a real person, and if you form a relationship, it feels less abrasive overall, like sort of a tribal feeling.

I was talking to my friend who is a jewish woman, and she noted how even very young blonde girls had racist feelings toward even brown hair in other girls, at the preschool level.
