Umm not really. Its going fine in the sense that no one is fighting or intentionally throwing a race under the bus. But I have been reading this thread since it started and it is starting to turn into a 'what we don't like about other cultures.' There are people on here that say they would not date someone who is fighting with their family!! How crazy is that! If you do not get to know them then you have no idea what they are fighting about, some families are crazy and you need to get away. Others on this thread base it off of looks, which people I hate to be the bearer of bad news here but the disliking of one race on looks stems from upbringing and the community you were raised in, so try to step out of your comfort zone and learn. The people on this thread that date all kinds of races, or haven't but would I applaud you. For the others- Sometimes, just sometimes, doesn't it get lonely in that bubble you live in?

Mamashay87,


great post. Especially about living in bubble. Even if you don't date outside of your race, there are certainly many things to learn about others. Many will not even learn aobut others.

I, myself am into women from other countries, if I date outside of my race/culture it will more than likely be with a women of another race from a different country.

I have not seen a difference between white american women and black american women. They both share the same (American) culture, the only difference is they may do things different within the culture based on how/where they were raised. But black women and white women are one in the same to me.........

I dont know what you two are disputing about, id rather stay away from it, but I take your quote as criticizing some characteristics that turn me off when dating women.
I dont see any reason why this is anything other than sensible. Ive dated women that are in the middle of family disputes either as a participant, or as a casualty, and its never pretty. Id rather stay away from those situations since family is held at the top of my list. Usually though, I do find out what its all about and its usually something very stupid, or just the fact that some families treat each other as "every man for himself."

But this characteristic is similar to dating someone who is socially ackward/not social when you yourself are a very social person.

Thanks for answering

I'm white and my husband is also white. I have nothing against other races and they all have something wonderful to offer.

Now, a bronze-skinned man with dark eyes and dark hair? Big, dark hands? Yes. Yes, please.
