Hey yall. I am pretty new here. I am a single mother of 2 sons. Their dad is a african-American. We have been seperated for 3yrs. I have only dated aferican-American men, as it seems like an awkward situation to white men-that my kids are biracial. I was just wondering if anyone has any input on white men's feelings toward dating women with biracial kids, because I would really like to know. I am located in the Seattle area..predominately white, but also happens to be some type of interracial mecca as well-as far as percentage wise. (please don't ask for stats as i have none-just an observation) Interested in white male responses especially! Thanks to all

I think some it depends on how old you are, I would imagine younger guys might be a bit less racist.. IDK.

I'm a crusty old 40's something white guy. I don't really have much an issue with the bi-racial kids per se, other then I'm not into kids, I don't have any myself.

I think some guys might have some issue with your exclusively dating only black guys, I believe is what you said in your OP. Some guys might have an issue with that.. IDK.

I've been out of the dating market for a long long time, so I may be giving you false info here.

Why haven't you divorced after three years? I think being separated is probably your biggest hindrance.

I agree with this. You can't expect the average guy to be comfortable dating a married woman.

A white man isn't going to raise black babies. That's just not going to happen.

I don't know how true this is.

My family is like the UN... every flavor you could want... LOL

I saw a couple pics of my niece a few yrs ago... she was around 4 or 5... she's half black/white, man she had a light around here... just made your heart melt.............

That's crazy. I know several that do. Wow what an insensitive, single minded remark.

Well, to be fair, he's right in that the majority of white men (at least 75-80%) would not want to date a woman with biracial (black/white) kids for a variety of reasons. Sure, there are some who have no problem with it, but they aren't in the majority.

Luckily for the OP, 20-25% still leaves a lot of potential dating partners to choose from.

Thats my point Exactly. Let's be real here.

And as a whole black babies are less likely to be adopted

That's one family though. The majority of white men in America won't raise a full black to biracial child so that in turn would limit the mom's options. And if theyre boys forget about it
