jobaba Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 My experience in college consisted of similar Asian groups (indeed composed of idiots ). I often saw Asian women with some truly unfortunate white dudes whom they would parade around like a trophy, especially in front of their Asian counterparts. It was a status symbol to them. It's just a loose example illustrating my belief that "preference" is externally driven...these women preferred white guys because it gave them higher status within their group. Sure, you can mask it as "attraction," but it soon becomes readily apparent what the true motivations are... Yup. The 'trading up' syndrome. Though I went to school in California so it wasn't as bad. There were a lot of really hot Asian women who actually preferred to date Asian guys. Back in the day, my buddies would have endless conversations about Asian women selling out. Didn't matter that much to me though because I still got rejected by the women who preferred Asian guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Jane2011 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 There is one white male celebrity who I have a thing for. Tobey Maguire. I have no idea why. And I bet if I met him in person and got to know him, I'd not like him. Link to post Share on other sites

mesmerized Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I think guys with light colored hair and light colored eyes can be (and often enough are) physically attractive. I dated a waiter last year who had light brown (almost dirty blond) hair and maybe blue eyes (hazel, maybe). But the thing is, light colored hair and light colored eyes, in most cases, come in the form of a white guy. And as I mentioned above, I almost always have issues with the personality/attitude/values of a white guy. Hence, while the physical features in and of themselves are conceivably attractive, I'm very used to not, ultimately, liking the guy attached to the light colored hair and eyes. This may be negatively coloring my view of the physical features. p.s. I definitely ultimately didn't like that waiter guy. Huge issues with his attitudes, ways, etc. He was nice, but nice is just nice on the surface. Attitude and values are a whole different story. I hear you sister on the personality of white men although I've met good ones too. Link to post Share on other sites
mesmerized Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 lol German. these women u are attracted to don't want you. keep dreaming. And why exactly do you say that?? I'm one of those women and I wouldn't have an issue with a guy for being German. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Zenobia Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 And why exactly do you say that?? I'm one of those women and I wouldn't have an issue with a guy for being German. Same. I'm Arab and I married a white guy (of partial German decent). I don't what she's talking about. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gotye Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 order of attractive male ethnicities to me; 1. white men 2. indian 3. muslim 4. black 5. asian Link to post Share on other sites
Yare Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Me too! I've dated 4 Caucasians with blonde hair and green eyes, oh jesus, they were all awesome. And I don't know. But no matter how attractive these guys from other ethnicities who're trying to pursue me, such as Latinos, Indians, Pacific Islander or Asians. I really don't give a damn. I really see myself walking down the isle while looking to a white guy waiting for me at the altar. And in 10 years down, I know I'll be playing with my 3 little gorgeous kids with white skin and blonde hair and green/blue eyes. Usually Asian genes are stronger than white genes...if you see most couples that have children asian and white..the kids look asian 99% of the time... Link to post Share on other sites
Jane2011 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I hear you sister on the personality of white men although I've met good ones too. Yeah, I think there are good ones. In fact, I know there are. It has just been my experience in romantic situations that white guys have turned me off. As just people and friends, I've had plenty of good to very positive experiences... Link to post Share on other sites

Both of my older sisters (Asian) are married to white guys. Their kids look mixed, neither Asian nor white, but it's true, I think, that the Asian shows through just slightly more... Actually, my youngest niece (age 4) looks almost 100% Asian even though her daddy is a white boy. He's a white boy with dark hair, though. My niece has tiny little slit Asian eyes, it's so adorable. The other kids, though, look more mixed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SmileFace Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 This is interesting...I'm not sure exactly how I'd explain it, but I'd like to offer that preference is almost externally driven...that is, people develop preferences from external sources (e.g., other people, media, culture, etc.), while attraction is more internally motivated... I am not sure. I can't generally can't say the guys who I may find attractive - since attraction can be very board. However I do have a preference in guys and what I may want. However I guess I am mixing what you are attracted to and what you may find attractive which can be two different things and just a play on words. Link to post Share on other sites

All I'm saying is that one's preferences are most often derived from her environment and external influences. To put it simply, imagine two versions of you: the current one and one who has literally lived in a vacuum all her life...I'm willing to bet the farm that the type of guy each of the two are supposedly "attracted to" will be vastly different...

Feelin Frisky Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I find women of color appealing because the increased melanin in the skin often makes for such an even and spotless complexion which translates into instant beauty if the rest of the face is in the ratio proportions established for universal beauty. But caucasian women have such a variety of looks that it's senseless to compare one group versus another. I'm Irish on both sides. Here's a picture of my youngest sister (no makeup btw) for those who think Irish girls all look like nuns. jennifer.jpg picture by RareBird0 - Photobucket 2 Link to post Share on other sites
