Are you attracted to Females/males from other races?

Hey guys, looked all over for a similar thread but i couldnt find one so hopefully this one ive started up shouldnt cause any trouble...

Was just wondering if there was anyone out there like me just so we can have a little discussion session :smile:...
I'm a black male (african ethnic) from london and ive only had g/fs the same race as myself...but bout 4 yrs ago, i started finding white females way way more attractive and ever since i havent been in a realtionship with a black female.. ofcourse this creates slight problems for me cos my friends and folks dont agree with the fact that i find white females more attractive but i kind of do my own thing...

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who finds gals or guys from other races more attractive, maybe you can come share your opinions and tell me im not crazy too!! lol :P
thanks guys :wink:

there is no question of race, creed or colour. they dont apply...if i'm attracted to a girl...its purely on her personality and the way i feel about her. Its sad that people actually feel attracted to the colour of a person! :mad:

hey,there are a few similar threads out there like this in chat and GD, and honestly they arent appreciated by TSR members :s well my attitude like a lotta ppl boils down to the person they are.But on that note,its odd coz im an asian girl and all the guys who have liked me are white and i get a lotta crap for that from frnds and family.
I dont think ur crazy and esp if u live in a place like london u are bound to be in a multi cultural society.I think it boils down to what u find attractive...as in a 'white girl' may have certain manners,features,habits u find more attractive to than a girl of ur own race.
But on a whole it should be more than just abt race or creed (cuz even dating JUST a 'black girl' cuz she is 'black' is the same as dating a 'white girl' just cuz shes 'white') am i makin sense here?
so end of the day its wot appeals to u.
Race doesnt make a difference to me

Yeah i see what you mean :P thanks for that... was just wondering what ppls opinions were so thanks for urs.. its not that i go out with someone cos of their colour, no.. as i said i find them more attractive :wink:, and yeah ofcourse as alot of other ppl will say it depends on the person!! most definately..... and that actually plays the most important role of all :smile::smile:


ROLF @ TMG, lol true true :biggrin:
I wouldn't say I find OTHER races/ethnics MORE attractive....it's just that it being the UK, I socialise and come into contact more with white-caucasian males, and hence the possibility of me fancying them is higher. I'm Chinese...British born, but grew up with a mixture of both western and eastern culture. My parents have stressed that they wouldn't like me to date other ethnic guys apart from Oriental origin. I have dated english guys before, but without my parents knowledge or consent. I guess when I meet the right guy (and if he is english), I will try and persuade my parents that we'd make a good couple...but I have yet to cross this bridge.

I don't think it's a race issue nearly as much as how you were raised, in what environment you grew up in, etc. I know a lot of Asian (as in China/Japan/etc) people from California, who grew up in a very Asian-centric community are typically friends with more Asians than people of other races and will tend to date Asians.

Asians (as in the Middle East) who grew up in a very Middle Eastern cultural environment stick to their own. Of course, this is not definitively saying that people of a certain ethnicity will stick to their own, but rather tend to stick to their own.

On the other hand, my brother and I grew up around a primarily all-white (mostly Irish/Polish/Italian) Catholic community, so all my boyfriends have been white. (I have dated several Jewish guys, not just Catholic, as well as different Protestants). My brother has dated virtually everything with a vagina.

I don't think it's a racial issue at all. I'm very, very good friends with people of all races (however, I've never met anyone from Africa...but I'm sure we'd get along just as well!) It just so happened that the people I dated when i was younger were all white and I guess it's just sort of stuck. If I meet the right person of another race who I fall madly in love with, so be it. (suddenly remembering that infamous Lauren_some number or other, who was a very verrry scary "BNP" (?) person. Started talking about how black people were an inferior race or something. Argh! Getting mad just thinking about it!)

Hey, you are not alone there about finding girls from other races attractive. In fact my situation is the exact reverse to yours in that I am white & I find black females far more attractive than white females. You are definately not crazy(!) but all you have to realise is that appearances are rarely the best indicator of whether someone is right for you, then all can start to make sense and you realise colour is not really that important. I myself have found problems in the fact that I am much more attracted to black females, not just on a phisical level, but on the mental one too. It seems however that black girls, out of all girls I have encountered, are least likely to want to go out with guys from other races :frown: I have never had any problems with pulling or dating white girls, but black girls jst seem to not be interets in me, and I cannot help but to think it must be because I am white :confused:
Do not get discouraged by your family just because you do not happen to fancy any one of your race. If it worked out with the girl I fancied then I wouldn't let some silly remarks from my friends stop me seeing her. The only problem that I have is getting my girl to see beyond my colour. I mean, sorry to generalise, but why is it that black girls are rarely interestd in white guys and it is the opposite for black guys?

Lol @ ur brother comment hehe... yeah, where u brought up and the ppl you are around most of the time plays an interesting role in things like that.. I definately dont put barriers on friends or anybody or anything simply cos of skin colour cos im not a fan of racism :wink: so Im friends with anyone who is a true friend.... Its very intersting how enviroment has such great influence on human behaviour and psychology :smile:
Race isn't an issue..but as an asian girl, i find myself attracted to white males..not to say that anyone who is any other race is someone i wouldn't go for because at the end of the day, personality counts. :smile:

Thanks alot for ur constructive comments... I do know what you mean bout seeing past colour and that primarily comes into it when u find the right person :smile:
as for black girls not being interested in white guys, thats true and its a shame because some of them actually dont see past the colour thats why (ive spoken to lots and lots so i have stats to prove it lol), some might actually fancy you though and put up a lot of front, ppl are usually scared and challenged by anything unusual or different..

I find girls of all races attractive, however I find that I am more likely to be attracted to white girls (I am talking about purely physical attraction, not taking into account personality and intelligence). I think that there is some statistical evidence that people tend to prefer partners of their own race.

This really isn't an issue of racism as sexual attraction is an involuntary reaction that comes from our genetic make-up and hormones.
