nationality? Does anyone want to keep to his nationality by finding the same partner? Which combinations do you accept and which combinations you don't accept?

I pretty much need a different nationality (not that many Bulgarian men around). I would probably be happiest with someone who is of a mixed nationality, because they would understand me best. After a while traveling, you start seeing through the whole "patriotism" sham. I don't think I could live with someone who is a "patriot" in the sense of insulting other countries around the world.
I'd accept any and all combinations that don't include fanaticism of the religious, patriotic or political kind.
All the people who say it doesn't matter might not have experience dating a latino guy (a seriously conservative macho one) or a muslim, or an Eastern European man (HIGH rates of alcoholism and spousal abuse). Don't say it doesn't matter until you honestly try to live it. It's not the nationality, but there are cultures that go with them that are or are not acceptable.

I agree with another person here. I feel it is apart of the mind and spirit and not the color. As long as you both are comfortable with each other and the other is a citizen of this country and not looking for a green card, it is ok. Make sure you can deal with all the issues together. Notice, I didn't say agree on all the issues. Even if you are the same race, nationality, culture, etc, you won't agree on everything. I said able to DEAL with issues together. If Both of you are human, what is the problem, really? Other people who will talk, will talk anyway. They talked about Jesus, and still talking! As long as you are comfortable, can love each other for real, can deal with all issues of a relationship, GO FOR IT!!!

I originally thought I was very open minded until I had children of my own. I am white and I noticed that when a white person has children with a different ethnic group it seems that the children all have the physical traits of the other ethnic group. The world is still not fair and I would hate to have any strikes against my kids or grand kids. Also people still look strange at a person if they are white and have ethnic kids.
Hate to say it but I think it is true.

It shouldn´t matter, but in the end, you both have to have the same values, the same interests, so when you have kids you won´t argue as much on religion, education, spanking and tose issues. You always keep your antionality, you can have two nationalitites if you want. I accept anyone that likes sex as a latino like myself, but I won´t accept being me, a female being the head of household, I like to admire a man who takes care of the family, I could help though.

Makes it more interesting to be with a different nationality. But it also makes it harder. Both parties need to be more understanding of the different cultural aspects of each one's lives. But once you've overcome those, dating the same nationality becomes boring and mundane.

Myself, I accept any woman who wants to be my wife...(well, let me rephrase that now, because my wife might have a difference of opinion, since she has "top spot" on the hit parade :) LOL!!
I would have, accepted any woman, (if I werent already married), as my wife, if she was faithful to me, and interesting! (Dont want conversation to dwindle... )
Nationallity, Creed, or Ethnic background is meaningless, because we are all GOD'S children...
But religious preference "is" a difference, as you should "never" be unequally yoked.
I wish you well..

I wouldn't say that it's important for me to stick to my nationality, because I'm multi-racial, but I prefer someone who is African-American. I guess for me, who I date is more a preference than importance.

I don't think there is anything wrong with any "mix". I personally only prefer my race (white) however have nothing wrong with any other combinations.

Any color is fine. As long as we agree on the important things, like how to raise kids, where we want to live, etc...
