Would you ever date someone of a difference race?

Question

Have you ever been attracted to someone who is of different race than you? If so, what attracted you to them? If not, why not?

Answer 1

Yes. All races. I love America but we have some serious prejudices. First of all, all people should be considered for their individual merits and personalities, not on the color of their skin. Each and everyone of us is different in some way. The journey of discovering those differences can lead to a new friend for life or the love of your life.

Answer 2

I am a white male and I had a bit of a thing going with a black girl where I work many years ago. The problem was her family. Her father was the Pastor of a Black Baptist church and could not accept his daughter dating outside of her race.

We sneaked around and saw each other anyway for a couple of months but I could tell it was really costing her a lot of guilt. So, I had to let her go. That was back in the1970's. Things were pretty different then.

Answer 3

Yes, I would consider it. I'm white, have dated a hispanic man. Have been attracted to several black men but the situation never presented itself to date those guys. My parents would flip, but oh well. I disagree with their beliefs on this subject. I cannot find in the Bible anywhere that it is wrong. In fact, Song of Solomon is about an interracial relationship. Go figure that one out.

Answer 4

Yes; I have been attracted at some point to men of all races. At my last job, specifically, there was a Native American psychologist that was absolutely gorgeous. I will admit that I am most attracted to black men, but would date ANY race of man in a heartbeat.

I always say this: There is too much divorce, adultry, and too many unhappily married people for me to only date or not date a person because of their color.

Answer 5

When i was younger i tried dabbling with dating outside my race, but now as a bonified grown woman, i have come to the realization that as a black woman, i am more suitable for a black woman. After working around white people i relazie that the cultures of these two worlds are very different. I want to be able to talk to my man about the things that are happening in my life and my struggles. There is no way in hell that a white man can relate to what i am talking about. I also feel that having biracial kids in these types of marraiges/relationships is a strain on the kids and can be difficult to bear.

Answer 6

Yes, i'm currently dating someone who isn't my race. The race isn't such a big deal for me, but just the cultural differences. I'm attracted more to their personality.

Answer 7

OF COURSE I WOULD! although i tend to be more attracted to my own race: hispanic, i have dated a white boy ,and if i like a black boy, i wouldnt let my race stand in the way.
its usual for hispanics to go with hispanics, and blacks with blacks, and whites with whites and so on, and thats ok, but as long as that is by choice, not b/c it is your race and you feel you have to.

Answer 8

Every since I was in high school. I dated outside my race. I do not care to date the men in my own race.

Answer 9

Yes. I am attracted to people of many races, colours, shapes and sizes. It's about the person, not the skin tone and not the preconcieved notions based on stereotypes conjured before I was even born.

Answer 10

I HAVE DATED OUTSIDE MY RACE (I AM WHITE). I KNEW THE LADIES FOR QUITE AWHILE BEFORE DATING THEM. I MET THEM WHILE WORKING AS A COUNSELOR IN MENTAL HEALTH AND YOU TEND TO KNOW YOUR CO-WORKERS VERY WELL IN THAT KIND OF WORK. I FELT A VERY STRONG ATTRACTION IN EACH CASE - IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE AND IT WAS MUTUAL. I RESPECTED THE LADIES AND LOVED THEIR PERSONALITIES. RACE IS NOT REALLY AN ISSUE WHEN YOU FIND THE RIGHT PERSON AND THE ATTRACTION BECOMES STRONG.
