Who dates outside their race?

Just wanna see a collective response of who dates outside their race. When I mean race, it can be from another country. For instance, I've dated women from St. Croix, Malaysia, Puerto Rico, etc. Or you can say their race: black, white, asian, mixed....whatever.

ive dated people outside my race...

when it comes down to it, its about the person outside, not what race they are

of course, there could be family conflicts due to culture

yeah, about a year ago, i dated a half greek/half jewish chick. she all mixed up in the head...beautiful, though.

I had a haitian girlfriend off/on for 5 years. now she had some drama.

Haven't ran into family problems with the girls I've dated.

I don't really care what color a girl is, as long as she is into me as much as I am into her.

I think interracial dating/couples are a lot more common these days, but you still get stares from people.

I married a beautiful Asian woman I've conceded that my kids will look nothing like me - all recessive genes here !

But I had a Vietnamese friend in residency whose parents would never permit her to date outside her race. That really annoyed me - they're not in Vietnam anymore

One of my co-workers (who's white) is marrying a black man. We were joking that we should hook our kids up to see what our grandkids would look like

I've dated someone who lived in Taiwan for 8yrs (0-8 of their life). I don't see there being a problem with dating outside my race, most the white women I meet are severely psychotic, I guess I've been going to the battered women's shelter too much. (:

I'd almost believe that people who live in more heavily populated areas are more likely to date outside their race simply due to the choices available as opposed to people who live in Wyoming or something, where there are very few non-white people.

I dated a half-Korean guy for almost four years. He was very non-Asian though, except for his looks. His mom is a first-gen Korean though, and she HATED ME. I mean, HHHAAAATTTEEEDDDD me. I could tell it was cultural differences, because she thought I was too much of a crazy women's libber (meaning that like, I felt we should BOTH go to college). The thing I never understood though, was why it was okay for HER to marry and procreate with a white man, but no white girl would be good enough for her 1/2 white son. Very odd.

Then again, he's dating a white girl now and he says his mom likes her, so maybe it was just me. haha

If race means country, then I would think just about everyone has

I think we should be asking who HASNT dated outside their race.

I've dated a few people outside my race. As long as I get along with people, it doesn't matter what race they are. My parents aren't a particularly big fan of this thinking though.

However, my current gf is the same race, though race really had nothing to do with us getting together.

I'm as white as you get, and I've only dated white guys. But I'm kind of sheltered here...never really had the chance to date someone of another race.

i am puerto rican and i have dated many white girls, 3 black girls, 2 asian girls, and one hispanic girl. i honestly do not like dating hispanic girls because they remind me of the women in my family....i dated a filipino girl and her family was very much like mine....even the languages had similar words..(spanish and tgolic-yea yea...i prob spelled it wrong)

lol

regular = white american, thats regular to me. didn't know how else to put it... 'generic' ? 'mixed european ancestry'?

and I know, you can't define a race because its not something that really exists, its not scientific..so I was just trying to stay as general as possible.

i know beet what you were saying, i just thought it was funny..

i guess it depends where you live... if you lived in certain parts of the country all you would see is mexicans

or asians

or blacks...

it just depends on context...

(regular and unleaded...i guess im unleaded! )

I've dated a few, It's tricky when you naming them, cuz white isn't really a race.

BUT, I've dated white guys
East Indian
Trinidadian
Jamacian (he was white)

I've dated outside my race....I think people are more open this compared to before. I remember when I was younger, I would hardly see inter-racial couples but now I don't there is anywhere I could go that I don't see one.

I had a g/f with Irish decent last quarter of 2004.

I don't know these days...I haven't dated within my race for well over a year. Let me take that back...I did go out with black about a month ago.

Everytime I go out with my friends, I always end up talking to a brunette or blonde. Keep in mind, I mainly go out to bars with mostly white people in it. I wanna date a latina or women of asian decent.

HAHAHAHAHA you just reminded me of this putz that I went to high school with. He was a total dork until like, the 12th grade when he suddenly started working out and joined the football team, and suddenly he wanted everyone to call him Diesel.

Okay, okay, I called him that too. But just because it kinda became his name... I don't even remember his real name, to be honest. He was just a putz. I remember one day I was out in my driveway with my boyfriend, getting ready to drive to Louisiana for college; it was our "last goodbye", etc, and Diesel drives up, rolls down the window, pops his trunk, and yells, "BRAD! CHECK OUT ALL THE EMPTY BEER CANS IN MY TRUNK!!!" Any moron would have noticed that we were all emotional and shit. Not Mr. Diesel though.

HAHA Thanks for the trip down memory lane. You may continue with your regularly scheduled thread.

I guess I kinda have...I went out with an asian girl twice, I think she was Chinese?

She was great and very attractive, but on our second date, she related to me that she had been in a knife fight...not exactly second date banter. That was the end of that...

I'd date outside my race, if the opportunnity arose, though I would not seek it, and at the smae time I do not seek out only white girls.

Good looking women are just that, race plays no role in attractiveness to me, though certainly, some races are more genetically predisposed towards the features that drive me crazy...
