Are most people attracted to their own kind only?

Well, I always had this fetish of having sex with women from different races,someone that looks different from me is always exciting, but when it comes to dating etc I'd rather date someone that looks like me, well I'm mixed but I look eastern mediterranean,do most people feel the same? I think people just like other races for sex nothing more, it's just the human nature.

Nope, I think people are attracted to what they are attracted to and that goes from sex to LTR. Whether its ethnic appearance (I have guy friends that love Asian women) culture, or body type (some dudes like boobs, some like legs)....it really runs the spectrum. It is more common to see "likes" together but whether its preference or simply meeting the right one..who knows.

I don't think so,before I got married I dated a lot,and a lot of variety,as long as I was attracted them,and they were nice it didn't matter

This is not exactly what the OP is asking is it? The OP specially focused on RACE and just that. There is a poster on here who has said she only dates White dudes, but yet she refuses to put that in her profile for some reason...so she doesn't come across as xenophobic?

 

I am from across the pond, and grew up in a city of over 7million people that was very cosmopolitan. So you would have gone to school with all kind of people, which then played into who your friends are, and who you might have feelings for.

 

People are usually afraid of what they don't know, and that is why you see "likes" together. Then there is the stigma, and parental influence. Some parents are still of the old school.....tolerance for people of a different colour escapes them.

 

I personally think it's silly if you meet someone that fits everything you are looking for, but discard it because they look different.....only to trade that in for a "like" that ends up making your life miserable just because you wanted to keep your friends and folks happy

 

Now...I can see people coming on saying this is not the case, but it really doesn't matter as you know deep down why you just want a "like"

I don't know. I'm not generally into white women despite being white myself. And I'm usually attracted to personalities.

 

People are attracted to who they're attracted to. Is it easier to date or marry within your race/culture/ethnicity? Sometimes. Sometimes not. It really depends.
