Are you attracted to your own race?

[hppr]

I'm white and am not really attracted to most white girls I meet who are of my generation. But it's not a white thing, or a physical thing, but more of a generational and attitude thing.

I like gingers, I don't know why- I just do. People can't help what attracts them to others, it's not a choice- and no one should have to apologize for it.

I am of English Swedish and Italian heritage. I have dirty blond hair usual Swedish features with full lips and can tan easily.

The guys I liked when I was a teen were usually tanned white boys with full lips and light green or blue or hazel eyes. They were usually of Southern European descent. But my bf at the time was Portuguese with black hair and brown eyes and a medium to dark complexion but The usual face type that I find attractive. By my mid-teens, I had a change of taste. I started to like blondes with mixed southern and Northern European heritage like myself. I went to college and I changed my attitude. I liked what was available which were European American guys mainly. When I moved, I saw beauty in all sorts of races. Some Mexicans some Koreans some Indians and even some Cubans who appeared to be mixed. My boyfriend in college was a white American guy with typical appearance brown hair blue eyes fair complexion. My most recent bf was Puerto Rican/creole and Dutch though. He had curly black hair an olive complexion and hazel eyes I thought he was hot. Right now I'm actually most interested in constantly texting this Italian American guy I have a crush on. I'm hardly attracted to guys who are very fair or very dark really.

I'm asking this question because for me the answer is yes and no. I'm mixed race (Black/White). I turned out with a mix of both features of course. Pale skin, blonde hair, blue/green eyes...but ethnic everywhere else.

 

So, for me, since I call myself Black, I'm not attracted to my race because I don't really like Black men for a number of reasons. But, I am very attracted to mixed guys for a number of reasons too so I guess I am attracted to what I am...if that makes sense.

 

Also, am I being unreasonable or picky for desiring a mixed race guy since I am mixed race myself?

 

Not being sexually attracted to people of other races is not racism, as long as you don't insult them.

 

Everyone can have any dating criteria they desire, obviously life will verify if they are reasonable.

I've dated a veritable United Nations. For me race is truly irrelevant, and based on the men who hit on me, most guys it seems, share my philosophy.

 

What matters to me:

• Does he have his life together? Is he responsible? In other words, is he in a place in his life where he's truly capable of a healthy relationship?
  
• Is he kind? Thoughtful? Considerate? Caring? Respectful? Patient?
  
• Do we share the same values?
  
• Are we looking for the same things out of dating and life in general?
  
• Does he make me wet when he smiles at me or kisses me?
  

 

Those are the things IME that make for a happy, fulfilling, successful relationship.

 

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I am attracted to my own race (black), but I also have an attraction to women of all other races - been attracted to quite a lot of white women and lost my virginity to an Indian girl. I like dark and light-skinned/mixed black women, although my attraction to the latter has increased greatly as I've gotten older and extended to women with Hispanic/Mediterranean/Middle Eastern heritage, either mixed with black or not.

 

Short answer is yes, I'm attracted to black women and always have been.

[joystickd]

No I am not

[at20]

I only date outside of my race. I'm only attracted to girls who look different.

I'm not very attracted to MOST white men. I find them very blah looking. I do generally like Mediterranean European men and some Dutch guys are gorgeous (think Rutger Hauer) but generally I like white mixed with Asian (Korean, Japanese, Thai) men. I know that's a weird fetish but it's mine! Ever since I went travelling I got the bug for those Asian faces but also Euro features....saying that as a general rule I don't find Chinese men attractive as they tend to be very short whereas Korean/Japanese/Thai men have been taller in my experience.

 

No offence meant to any forum members.

Saying that I love a delish white guy like Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Stuart Townsend, David Boreanaz, oh yes guys like this I love. So white guys or mixed guys (mixed with White)

[Shepp]

I'm white, blonde, blue eyes.

 

I would never say I would never date a black girl..but..I've never been tempted too. Cant say I can even think of a black celebrity who I find particularly attractive.

 

I'm not racist in any way shape or form but I'm picky when it comes to what I find attractive.

That's why when I first laid eyes on my gf I knew she was the one for me - dark hair, the brightest green eyes i've ever seen in my life, she was what id right down if I was telling you what my ideal girl would look like.

 

Shes not engliah thou, shes American/irish so people form my own county - yeah but not exclusively. but as for my own race - yeah!
