Is Orlando a good city for mixed dating? (Baldwin: hotel, living)

[Rwarky]

Is the city of Orlando a good or bad place for interracial dating, especially for young black males who like hispanic women? Overall, how's the dating scene for young heterosexual men, without going to bars and nightclubs in this city?

I work in a hotel and I see mixed couples quite frequently. None of the workers notice it nor do they say anything about it. Orlando seems accepting of mixed couples compared to other places I have lived and that's a definite plus!

No for the most part it is a very divided, unfriendly and judgmental city

Black and Latino are a common blend in the Orlando area. Totally acceptable with some really pretty kid results.

What part of Orlando are you ref to?
There are many parts of Orlando where you will run into problems, but you can expect that anywhere.
You have high tourism and it doesn't mean you won't have problems from the locals, in fact 99% of the problems I've run into personally were from tourists.

im asian and id have to say that park ave (winter park) baldwin park and lakemary/longwood have a big white population and sometimes i get the feeling they just arent as accepting, esp eating out

its hit or miss sometimes and im in a interracial relationship with a white guy...we joke about it all the time that we are in whiteland

I am a white male that makes a good living and I sometimes get the feeling I am not wanted on Park Ave or Baldwin Park!! Some of those people have a very distorted sense of self worth, but it doesn't mean the entire town is like th at.

For a city this size it is pretty liberal. How can it not be with such a diverse population?

All of you make good points, I thought about opening a thread on this very topic several weeks ago but obviously didn't.....Although I really love Orlando and do not regret moving out here whatsoever, the dating scene sucks....I don't know what it is w/Orlando women, those very attractive hispanic/latino ladies seem very uninterested in Black men. Is it that we can't speak spanish? They seem off putting and quite unapproachable...I'm from Detroit, MI and that is one thing that I sorely miss about my old hometown and that is the woman back there were down to earth and easy going....This part of my Orlando experience is frustrating.....alright I'm done b#Iching & moaning.

I felt the same way when I lived there.......
