It really depends. It isn't a problem to like women of different ethnicities. But for some people it crosses over into the ever misused "fetish" where you are only interested into these other women because they represent something "exotic." And you have some preset ideals about what they will be like because they are part of that group.

There are some men who lead with the question "have you ever been with a guy like me?" because they are trying to determine if they have a chance or not. Instead of just reading the signals. Most women, no matter what group they are on, make it pretty clear when they want you to go away.

So generally speaking, the guys that lead with the "have you been with my type" are really trying to prove something else, it isn't all that "genuine." It might follow with some sort of description of their physical or sexual prowess or something else.

I think I agree.

As a guy who likes having sex with women, and who is fortunate to travel and has...met...women from all over the world, if a woman were to approach me with "Have you ever been with a ____ woman", my interest would be piqued but my rational self would tell me to get the hell out of there.

However, if I met a woman, and had some interest and found out that she was whatever exotic nationality, I'd probably giver her some bonus points.

The woman's ethnicity is almost the most important trait for him, and he wants to prove he's hit all 6 continents or whatever.
We call that tasting the rainbow.

LOL no but I did ask the guy that I'm currently dating if he'd dated a black woman before and he looked at me like I was some crazy racist for even asking such a question LMAO! Like what the hell does our skin color have to do with anything. In my defense, he's from a country that doesn't have that many blacks so I was curios!

I really don't involve myself with males like that. It shows me how they think of me, at least to me it does.
I ALWAYS get this question from black women but never from other ethnicities. They seem to want to educate guys on the rules to dating black women.....

Each time I've been approached, I get the "Have you ever been with a(white, Indian,Asian,albanian, etc) , during initial conversation.

Men are men.
Penis is penis.
Sex is sex

Its either good or its BAD.

Doesn't really matter what ethnicity you are.

I like ALL men, btw. But I don't feel special or extra happy, with a guy of a different ethnicity.

You're just another man I'm dating. That's all.

Haha I like this

Exactly. It is subtle. Like oh he is XXX that is cool is different than only being interested because they are XXXX and people who are XXXX are like YYYYY.

Tasting the rainbow...not a problem. Telling everyone in every conversation that your goal is to taste the rainbow, and then list off all the flavors you have tried is.

My own personal opinion on this is because of a couple of reasons:
1. a lot of people (even now) don't have close black friends or experiences with black people outside of casual interactions
2. black women are very likely to be stereotyped in lots of negative ways...so you want to nip that in the bud before it even gets started
3. you want to weed out the fetish guys early and often

Knowing what a smart*ss I am, if someone asked me that question, I would be inclined to say something like, "No, but I AM looking to complete the whole set!"

However, I HAVE been asked, "Do you have any __________ in you? No? Want some?"
