I did. It was my preference.

None of us can speak for "women in America." If you find someone attractive, ask her out.

This is not a gender issue, American men are just as picky about dating brown women. It depends on the persons preference and his or her upbringing. There is a lesser appreciation here for the beauty of non whites due to the isolationist mentality and the geographical insularity. But I think the "embracing diversity" media campaign has had a beneficial affect and that people are starting to open up to non whites, now more than ever. In a predominately white country, white will always be the standard of beauty by which all others are compared, but there's someone for everyone. It's important not to be bitter.

Edit:"The American reluctance to cross a racial divide is actually quite low ." No, that may be true if you live in a metropolitan area, but it is not true for the rest of the country. Attitudes are liberalizing, but a person of color is not acceptable dating material for most whites in rural areas.

The U.K. has a lower non-white population and more interracial marriages. Many European countries are more accepting of interracial realtionships than the U.S.

The American reluctance to cross a racial divide is actually quite low, although many women do prefer a 'type'.

Here's the deal though, you need to be brutally honest as to whether you have more to offer than the woman's natural peer group.

India is generally thought of as suffering from brutal poverty. Women in general, (not just Americans) have little desire to marry into poverty. So if you fit the stereotype, your chances aren't good.

On the other hand, if you are confident, successful and reasonably good looking; "Prejudice" will not be a problem for you here.

Uh, you seem to be assuming that all women in America are identical to each other. That's completely absurd.

There are people who will only date within their race (few, but they exist); people who are attracted only to some other race (usually alwasy the same one, sometimes any race but their own), and the majority, who don't care much about a person's race.

If women aren't attracted to you, it's probably not a racial thing. It may be you're interested in the wrong women, or that something about you is off-putting, such as your assumption that women are all the same as each other.

American women and men date people of all races, creeds and colours. Each person (and I am sure this also relates to you) has preferences as to the people they wish to surround themselves with. I personally would not want to date someone who comes from a country and has religious beliefs where women are treated as second class citizens, and without respect. I worked too hard and too long to not be respected for my knowledge and not be on an equal standing with the man who I spend my life with. However, I am just one American woman and I cannot speak for all of the women of America.

A black man once asked me out. He was a playboy, had a bad personality and no manners. When I declined he called me prejudice.

A small chunky red head with freckles once asked me out. He was shorter then me and always stuffing his face with food he hid in his pockets. When I declined he did not accuse me of being prejudiced against red hair and freckles. Instead, he began to date a girl he had more in common with. She also liked to eat all the time as well and they lived happily ever after.

It is not a matter of prejudice or political correctness. Dating is all about that first attraction and the anticipation of getting to know someone in spite of all the accusations one may be subjected to if they say "no".

Usually people date those with whom they have more in common.It seems that works more easily whether it is religion, gender, socioeconomic class and race. I dont think they are especially prejudiced against Indians. There are so many bright Indians especially in Silicon Valley.

Honestly, it only depends on the person. I'm white but am attracted to darker men. America still has a few prejudice problems, but I feel we are getting better little by little. People are people and sometimes, for some, this is hard to understand. Don't get discouraged...there's someone for everyone...

i could ask the same thing about men. stop assuming that it is women who do not want to date outside of their race. there are people who don't want to do that; meaning men and women.
