I know I sound wierd for asking this, but I need to know. I'm a young black guy but I'm not from LA, but I plan on moving there once I got my future career job. Do people approve people who date/marry interracially there? Do white girls find black guys attractive in LA?

What he is probably asking is what kind of social acceptance will interracial couples find in the LA area, and how willing are people of different races likely to date outside their race.

My guess is that it is probably easier to date interracially in the west than elsewhere in the country, but still a lot people don't date outside their race simply because other races don't float their boats.... or perhaps don't float their boats as easily.

I dont think there would be a problem at all. Why does the LA forum always get so racial? Weird.

interracial couples are fairly common in So Cal, it's probably one of the best places in the country for interracial couples.

LA is accepting to any race. Most people in the world just like staying within their race. Like kettlepot said, some people just don't find other races attractive. In LA, I have seen several white men with asian women, but not the other way around. My neighbor is white but has a Mexican wife. For me, I like white and hispanic women. I don't have anything wrong with blacks or asians, I would be friends with them, I just wouldn't want to date one.

If people wrote "no", would it affect your decision? I think that's the question you should be trying to find the answer to..

Only if you are sincere, and honest, and have only the best intentions toward a relationship.
You've got your pick of girls if you are that kinda guy , anywhere !

Good luck LAFan.

the west coast and california in particular, are very friendly to interracial and "anything"-racial dating, it wont be a problem at all and no one will stare at you.

furthermore, in california u have alot of diversity coming from asian countries (koreatown, chinatown, daly city (filipino town)), and since its close to mexico you have an influx of mexicans and other countries south of the boarder. i guess all im trying to say is, california is just one big melting pot .
