I agree with Tara that a big factor to consider is background, cultural differences and language barriers.

Another big factor that comes heavily into play is normalcy. Humans by nature are attracted (not always, but often) to what is familiar and what they define as normal. A basic priniciple of interpersonal communications is that "We like people who are like we are." Another is that "We like people who have qualities we value in ourselves and others."

Completley tossing aside any political influences, humans tend to find more comfort being around things that are familiar to them. In turn, they often seek out (unconciously) partners who are familiar to them. While this unconcious tendency (not rule) is similar to the concious choice to find a partner with similar values, goals and lifestyles, it is still an unconcious choice.

Similar to when going to the grocery store (though on a much smaller scale.) While we occasionally try the brands and products that just look great, even though we have never had them before, we often find ourselves purchasing the same products and brands, the same types of fruit and vegetables, the same size containers... visit after visit. We look for what we know and seek among those what fits us best.

There are people that just like blondes or brunettes & that is considered acceptable, but for some reason if it is a question of race it is considered wrong. I do not date people outside my race but I do not have any problems with other people doing it. I had tried dating outside my race & it does not work due to lack of common background & like interests.
It is wrong to judge anyone based on looks alone but what is beautiful to one person may not be beautiful to another & physical attraction is what initally catches the attention of the opposite sex.

I tend to go for and am attracted to other whites mostly because that is what attracts me.I don't want to sound all racist but I have never been really turned on by black or Asian people sexually.They are nice people and I have even tried to get with a black guy but I just couldn't get past the fact that he was black.His skin was different.His hair was different.And I just wasn't aroused by what I saw.But then, maybe it was him.If Will Smith came at my door I might think differently.lol

I am attracted to whoever looks good, but a lot of people have preference that they like to date, I can see why they are like that. Some people want to stay w/ their own race and some dont. Its cool w/ me. I have a specific type of guys i like also.

I like the way black men look, my boyfriend is black and he treats me like a queen. I wouldnt trade him for anything...over all I think it is because I grew up around mostly all white people at my school and community, I live near penn state and now I am going to college here *im a junior* its much more diverse than my little town 20 mins away, but I think I'm attracted to them because they are opposite than me, and supposively opposites attract whoooooooo knows

I think for some people it's cultural differences (language barriers, customs, family pressure, etc.) that put boundaries on their attraction. Sadly there is still a lot of fear of the unknown out there in the world.

Well, I'm attracted to men because I'm straight, and that's how I work.

I don't think any particular race is better than another, but religion counts for me. I love Mennonite boys. :-)
