No she shouldn't. If she's not into her people's CULTURE, then no amount of "counseling" will change that.
If she's AMERICANIZED, then dealing with men who are stuck in the "old country" way of life will NEVER work. NEVER.
True. Counseling won't change that. Counseling doesn't work on the pituitary gland.
It may not be that they are stuck in the "old country" way of life; some of the guys, and gals, they are spurning are American-born.
Let's see, I know so many of these situations, growing up in CA:
- a Venezuelan mulatta who wouldn't even go out with the whitest of Hispanic guys, and she was NO prize
- at least 3 Middle Eastern women who liked Anglo-ish guys, but with dark hair ( I think that blond was too much of a "leap")
- a Creole male friend who only dated white women
- one, if not more, Jewish guy who would not date Jewish women
- every single Cuban guy I knew would not date another Hispanic
- a few Asian women who only dated white guys
I think it's the "streets are paved with gold" syndrome. Get to America and see the "Anglo standard" and then see what you can get.
I think I am the among the few, being of Mediterranean ancestry, that is really only attracted to women with the same ethnic background. Always have been. Like another poster, Nordic women may be attractive, but they do nothing for me.
They can still be americanized and be her same ethnicity.
True, but it depends on how deeply AMERICANIZED they are. She might be someone fully assimilated into the american culture, whereas the others might still be hovering between both cultures which could cause problems.
Until she comes back to explain herself more, I'm not going to comment or speculate further.
I am not trying to create a controversial post but I've enjoyed my interactions with men from other ethnic background a lot more than my own. Now I think I am not attracted to my own. I almost feel disgusted around men of my own ethnicity. Is that crazy or what?
I would use the phrase "my own culture" rather than "my own race". There are always exceptions so why generalize?
My female Indian friend is not interested in Indian men, either.
And my female Uruguayan friend only feels attracted to Nordic men.
Maybe it is even normal to be interested in the exotic. Maybe it would always have been that way if people had been able to move all around the world like today.
No, she needs counseling. The reason she's like this is because of a very bad prior relationship with a man of her ethnicity.
Has she told you that?
I would be careful to interpret a person on the Internet based on your pseudo-psychology.
