Are there more interracial relationships/mixing? (marry, guys, children, Latin)

I meant to say "years" after that 12. Didn't want anyone to think I've had 12 husbands, lol.

Diversity is a good thing in genetics. I think it's one reason that we typically find mixed-race people so attractive.

Oh my god. I'm picturing some reverse-nazi doing punnet squares about what her kids will look like with her "ethnicity of the week" boyfriend. NERD! No, wait... Nerd isn't quite right... IGNORAMUS!!

I'm white.

I've had two relationships with black women. Although they were great women, the relationships didn't work out. The first was because we both ended up just having different goals. The second one was receiving a lot of flack from her family. Although I was saddened by it all, I agreed in the end to break it off, because I believe in families and maintaining relationships in both. But if her family was that strong against it, there would inevitably be problems.

I also have dated several asian women. Although what I'm about to say doesn't hold true for all of them... as a generalization I noticed that Asians don't take things (like family and education) for granted, and were very respectful. I married an asian woman and we were married for almost 14 years and had three kids together. In the end it didn't work out because we slowly drifted away and our goals down the road (in planning for retirement) started to become farther and farther from each other's.

I am married to a white woman now.

I can't say one was better than the other (except for my current wife now of course... you're the best, honey!!). But in my perspective, I just want a woman who treats me as well as I treat her, and shares the same values and morals.

As a caveat.. I will say this.. I did date a woman once who pretty much broke up with me after she found out I had dated black women. Can't say as I completely understand it.. but we all have our differences.

I think that the amount of inter-racial dating is decreasing (sorry, I can't remember the article to cite) but only a few fractions of a point. Could be that what was considered inter-racial years ago isn't seen the same way these days.
I've dated several women outside of my (perceived) race but none that only dated black men. I don't know... I just don't like it when a girl tries to limit me to her expectations.

I think that men are more into interracial dating than women because of their sexual needs. Personally I prefer white boys (im white) or white and mixed. My boyfriend is 1/4 Swiss 1/4 Italian 1/4 Hispanic and 1/4 Blackfoot Indian. He looks like hes white and hispanic mixed and he is soo sexy.

But for me personally I am not attracted to asians, blacks, mexicans... A lot of it has to do with the people you were brought up with and around in your life.

I'm not really attracted to blondes. Its a preference. I'm attracted to a a few races. Which combination of mixed guys do you find attractive? Black/white, white/Asian, what?

[blondesexlove]

white hispanic mostly. ill be honest i am not racist at all but i am not sexually attracted to blacks or asians at all. i may think that they are cute but when it comes to what i am attracted to sexually blacks and asians dont do it for me at all. I like american white boys with a tan skin tone. so mostly white+hispanic mix, but mostly on the white side.

White Hispanic is not really mixed. If a white person and a Hispanic has a child together, they're classified as white, not mixed. But, I'm black and I'm not really attracted to blondes or tan girls, Hispanics, or Asians. I prefer pale brunettes.
