Ellemint, I think the above has been discussed in great detail on far too many threads. Let's stick to the topic. You made the comment that white women are least likely than any other group to date interracially and you were 100% incorrect.

This thread is about the increasing numbers of white women dating non white men...

Do you believe this trend will increase with the younger generation as well? Will greater numbers of white women decide to date/marry non white men in the coming years? What has caused the increase of interracial marriage amongst white women and non white men?
I've known a few white women who dated almost exclusively black men, and every one of them told me they did so for the exact same reason: they were "bigger" women. White men tend to EXTREMELY averse to overweight women. Not all white men, of course. But it is a fairly common attitude. Black men are more accepting of heavier women, generally speaking. This made these women feel more secure in dating them.

Are you suggesting that mostly big/heavier white women tend to date non white men?

Sorry to deflate your belief, but there's nothing in the ABC article you linked to that says that. I'm not denying that you may have that impression, and it may well be true, but you haven't shown any data supporting your belief.

I think that it may have more to do with feeling wanted or valued. All women want to be cherished and perhaps many white women who date.marry interracially probably receive the adoration of other men that they have not (or no longer) receive from white men.

The data is listed in this Pew Research Center study on interracial marriage.

LOL...nice ad hom and bogus conclusion there. People love to point to that stat and apply their own agenda. For the white men, it's totally ridiculous to assume women are always at fault just because they're the ones who file...there are many factors that contribute to divorce. For nonwhite men, did you ever think that perhaps the types these women married turned out to be far worse than their white male counterparts in terms of culture, behaviour, values, religion etc..and hence compatibility compared to what these women are used to? Or are you implying that men in general tend to be noble partners and that white women are somehow unsuitable? Recall that some women are trapped in marriages, need to remain for convenience, & others have little choice in the matter of divorce. Lower divorce rate does not necessarily imply happy/successful marriage.

Most Americans are fat, so I don't think fat white women need to look to another race to gain approval. They can just look into the loving eyes of their fat husband.

Did I say/imply anything about fat white women? My comment was regarding white women in general. All women want to be cherished and perhaps they find what they need with men of other races.
