Would you marry someone from a different race ?

I like my women like I like my coffee:

Ice cold, covered in whipped cream, and with a straw in them.

l remember TGND saying ' l like my men like coffee ,hot and strong
 
Depends.


I'd be a little cautious about marrying someone from a different CULTURE.... different background, different assumptions/expectations (many possibly unspoken), different customs and so on... more so than I'd be concerned strictly with "race" per se.


Example: guy I used to work with married a Japanese woman. Culture clash set in almost immediately; a lot of things previously unspoken suddenly 'came up' as soon as they were married... like she expected him to let her handle all money and bills and so on, for one. It eventually led to a messy divorce and her taking their two children back to Japan with her.

Now we were to discover a non-human race that was of equal intelligence and self awareness, then I would have to revisit the issue.

Have you seen some of the self awareness around here?
 
Clicked don't know but meant to hit other. I'm a very secular Jew but I still think it might be important to me to marry someone who was Jewish one day. Not really a racial thing but it seemed somewhat applicable.
 
Yes/other. I wouldn't legally marry, but I have been in interracial relationships, and would do again.
 
Actually, I would and did. Another race and an immigrant.

And next weekend is our 29th anniversary.
 
If I wasn't already married, I'd have no problem marrying outside my race. Love is hard enough without putting limitations on it. :shrug:

my sister in law is full blood Chinese. If I had met someone like her before I was married, I would have married such a person
 
I'm pretty much comprised of equal parts of three different "races", so I kinda have to look hard to find a different "race" to marry.

Jewish women seem pretty nice racially. I know one that has a Peter Seller's nose and black hair. The religion has some conservative aspects, but I dont see any difference from Hannauka and Christmas. I could just as easily take Hannuka and forgo Christmas. There may even be a lot of appeal to that, but being especially a fan of Christ.

I think the Jewish woman has a flair for selling stuff, like if I am an artist, hanging out with Jewish woman can result in good business opportunities.
 
If he were attracive and was into me. A number of guys I haven't been able to lock down because of cultural (i.e. I only speak English & German) differences.
 
Lol, why did people vote for every option?

Anyway, hell yea, I don't care what race you are.
 
Never thought about it, honestly. I never put it as a qualifier on my husband "must-haves" list...

I was focused on sense of humor, education, goals, affection, honesty, etc...

If I love him, he could be green, purple, or polka dot.

Not important in my book.
 
Yes. It would have made parts of the relationship more difficult, but if I loved her, I'd marry someone of a different race.

Why don't you just keep it simple?

The question is..would you marry anyone who was a different [Bcolour[/B] from you??

No the question is would I marry anyone who was a different race from me? The fact that you choose to interpret the word "race" to mean "color" is entirely upon you. I am not the only one who has chosen to view "race" in terms of the human race on this thread.

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.

Anecdotal evidence that does not match with my own. I've encountered Latino women who are very racist and blonds who are so not that they are married to men of other races.

In many cases the self-awareness is way higher than the intelligence. This is what causes the EW's from Customerssuck

Lets say someone gives you a mesmerizing female robot :)
 
As long as she is demure and has many common interests. It will definitely help if she is voluptious

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.

Once you meet your soul mate, it doesn't matter much what others think. You will soon notice some criticism and rejection. Yes, it hurts, don't get me wrong, but only for a little while. It is nothing compared to the happiness you feel being loved and loving someone.
True friends want you to be happy, no matter what and you find out quickly who they are.

There is a difference between what I would screw and what I would marry. The robot would have to show significant self awareness and consciousness before I would consider them a viable choice for marriage. Otherwise it's just a complex sex toy.

I would sign up for that in a minute...provided she comes with a long term warranty.


As for the poll, I won't marry anybody. Marriage sounds like an agreement to to,antic mediocrity to me. Anyone that says they married the best person in the world for them is clearly staggeringly naive.

But, in terms of a long term relationship? Her being a different 'race' is a plus. Variety. And if we have a child, they would be mixed 'race'...the more of those in the world, the better (IMO).

“but if I loved her”...by saying this, you had already ignore the skin tone.
What kind of girl do you love? What qualities are prerequisite?
