mammadon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Is it the same as any other preference? Like large breasts, or specific hair colour? I really like women who are Indian (from India), and can't conceive dating anybody different. Is this normal? Link to comment
Sparkly Eyes Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think it is, but it might very well change in future. Link to comment
22n32 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm German, Italian.. I love European girls.. and my last 2 gf were portuguse there dark sexy and mysterious.. Link to comment
greywolf Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah, it's normal though I think that not being able to see yourself date someone that isn't indian is more than just a preference. Link to comment
In the Dark Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Oh yes VERY common thing. It is not talked about very often in public because it is shallow but it is the truth. Otherwise you won't get references like, "She cheated on me and he was black!" The media can also be and or is a HUGE factor in race promotion too. Many people can date someone of a different race but when it comes to forever....it is not the case. Literally all my cousins who are Asian prefer white men and have no interest in Asian men. I have no answer as to why because they know Asian men brought up in western culture but just don't have a physical attraction to them. I am half and half mixed race and possibly due to that I do not have a preference. I have dated Black and white. As far as I know I do not have a preference over another race. If I am attracted to them, I am attracted to them. No discrimination more....meow! Link to comment
StarFright Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes, I think it's totally normal. The type you prefer to date, or are naturally just drawn to, is your business and yours alone. I am attracted to a certain ethnicity and simply not the others. Is it impossible that I am drawn to others? No...just not likely. I won't date someone I don't find myself somewhat attracted to because, well..it wouldn't seem fair to them, or me. If it doesn't feel right, then don't go for it. Do what makes you happy.

Fudgie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think it's very normal. I tend to prefer people of my own race (I'm white) but I am a little open to others. I wouldn't exclude someone solely based on race or anything. I have been in a relationship where the guy was of a different race/culture than I was and it led to a lot of cultural differences. So I guess my preference may be based on that. Link to comment
Shudder Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 ya its common but i think only dating a certain ethnicity somewhat limits your dating pool at the same time. Link to comment
abitbroken Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's normal. As far as ethnic background - if you are not talking about skin color but shared culture - you probably are more likely to meet people of that shared culture if that is the neighborhood you grew up in or went to cultural events so naturally gravitate towards it. As far as ethnicity = skin color, heritege, etc. you probably are more attracted to the group you grew up in or what a lot of your friends were early in life because its familiar. It could change as you get older and meet more people but I think its pretty normal. just as a numbers game Link to comment
captchapitcha Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I guess it's weird if you haven't grown up around them. I am pretty much only into white guys, but that's because 90% of the people I grew up around were white. Link to comment
The_Seeker Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's just a preference. LOL That's like saying if you like that red shirt, you're going to find the right size for you. Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 i wanna say it is normal, but it creeps me out when guys are all "i really like asian girls and will only date asian girls". esp if they're nerdy white guys who are really into anime.. lolll Link to comment
meister Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm honestly only attracted to white women/women of European descent. I'm not racist at all, but other ethnic groups/races just don't do anything for me. They might as well be men, that's how unattracted I am to them. Sure I can appreciate a beautiful woman from any ethnic group/race, but I'm just not drawn to them. I'm white btw. Link to comment

I'm like no. LOL Every time they say that I go "At least that makes one of us. I like and prefer Asian guys cuz I'm straight. Muwhahaha!" Link to comment

I am pretty much only into white guys, but that's because 90% of the people I grew up around were white. What makes this worse, which I forgot to mention, is that I'm half-Asian. hahaha. Shameful. But I have NEVER been attracted to a blond. I don't like the Nordic look. And to be honest, I don't think I've ever been attracted to a non-Western European type. Not into Italians or most Eastern European looks. So, I guess, I am just super picky? hehe Link to comment
cursedgirl Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 what's wrong with anime? i like anime..and i know some white guys who like anime and they arent nerdy..they are rather normal human beings. who says watching anime is nerdy? i do it. i do it as often as i go clubbing.

Fudgie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't think watching anime is nerdy. I watch a lot of it, then again, I'm a self-professed nerd. I know a LOT of "nerds" who watch anime but the 2 definitely aren't mutually exclusive, since I know people who aren't nerds who still enjoy it. Link to comment

captchapitcha Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 lol same. i can't do blondes. but i love them italians.. yum~ Too greasy, at least according to the stereotype. And the legitimate Italians from Italy are huge pervs. In America, I think of Jersey Shore when I think of Italians. hahaha. Although, I will admit, I used to think Vinny was cute, before he became a walking STD. Link to comment
