    Do you date outside your race?
    Poll. Only two options. I really am just looking to get an idea of the statistical data, however you can discuss this topic here as long as it is done in a sensible way.

    Me: Personally No.

    Note: the poll option data is made public (and who voted) to stop sock accounts or fakes inflating either option.

    Not formally, historically; however I have been involved with a girl who was half Persian, and wouldn't think twice if I thought of a girl as 'dating material', so technically yes

    If I find them attractive and I like them.. why not?

    Though I wouldn't cross an entire race off my list just because the few people of that race that I have managed to see, I didn't find attractive.... :dontknow:

    My girlfriend of three years was black and Im white, but with a Southern European complexion. I've got to admit, some people did mention this and we even recieved the (very) odd spot of racism, which made me pretty furious, especially with people modifying their jokes ect. She herself only found white men attractive, which I always thought was odd. Generally speaking though, interacial couples are very common in the white community, especially white women and black men for some reason.

    I'm black and my last boyfriend was white German. I very rarely see colour to be honest. I gorgeous guy is a gorgeous guy - their race really doesn't matter

    I'm not attracted to females outside my own race. I think each race has a different preference of physical traits they consider aesthetically appealing.

    each individual surely?

    I don't have a racial preference. So i'd date anyone who I'm attracted to regardless of their race.

    Of course, race isn't a issue.

    Yes, I would. Race in and of itself doesn't put me off, if all the other stuff (lust, attraction, chemistry, compatible beliefs, friendship, etc) is there.

    Not really. There were a few threads recently about whether interracial relationships were acceptable, and that's depressing, but there's very little to be sad about when people have personal preferences when it comes to dating. I think most people will find a general aesthetic preference for certain races, and while I find it very strange that someone would rule out dating people of certain races because I know there are people of all races that I find attractive, it doesn't worry me. It's just analogous to the fact that I'd never date fat or stupid women: it's a very clear personal preference, but it doesn't mean I think they are lesser people. They're just not what I'm interested in when it comes to relationships.
