I had this guy friend who is telling me he is not going to marry his Caucasian girlfriend of three years because he knows by the time she is in her mid 30's she can pass to be a grandma. I thought that was pretty insensitive of him, but he told me he was stating fact. He said intimacy is important and that he wants to be a one woman guy. Exceptions are rare but most white women by the time they reach there mid thirties or past menopause will not age well.
I tried to dissuade him, telling him he is shallow, but he said most men know this and that is why many white mgob marry Asian women. but do you think it is purely genetics or something philosophical. I understand most of you might exaggerate, but chances are you do not age better than an African American women or an Asian women. That is the genetic parts of it. You can try celebrities but more times than not that celebrity is mixed with another ethnicity. Lindsay Lohan or Gabrielle Union, who would have thought that union is almost 15 years older than Lohan. Almost all those anti aging creams you see in commercials are geared towards white women. Most botox and plastic surgery clients are white women. Practically almost every single black and Asian women in there late 30's can easilybpass as a women in her 20's. It is really just that most white woman and Latino women who just don't have that factor.
I brought this up because I've been observing and many men do carry his mindset. look at this link
He said he thought he had its prize, but he said that there is a philosophical thing about this, patience. If you wait a little while and don't get consumed by the looks of a person right away you can get yourself a queen that you would be able to desire for a long time rather than just a few years.

I would never marry someone who married me only - or mainly - bc of looks. As much as beauty counts, a true, solid marriage is way more than that.
I dont know about that. I sometimes think my wife married me for my good looks and huge package. Dont have much else going for me other than my warm caring personality and charm. Not rich at all.
First, I have to say that race-baiting is a terrible, terrible thing
Men/Women/Gay/Straight/Fat/Thin/Young/Old/Pretty/Ugly/Black/White/Asian/Green/Purple or whatever labels society feels the over-whelming need to assign to any given person - Should marry whomever they like, whenever they like and however they like. Love should ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS be the first consideration when picking your life partner.
As far as aging, yes, caucasian women age quicker due to the type/lack of of melanin in their skin. Sunburns and sun damage is known to cause wider problem in those with lighter skin color.
It's just not the big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

This counts a lot!
Much more than looks, which will eventually fade anyway.
I mean, no one wants to marry an ogre but I truly believe personality is much more important.
Every marriage has ups and downs. Ultimately it is the personality of both spouses that keeps everything together.

D@mn! That is shallow!
Marry for love not for how old you predict your partner to look at a specific age.
People also, go bald, get fat, and have diseases. Does your friend exclude mates bases on those predictions too?
Next we'll hear that "a friend" won't marry a specific race because they are more likely to get cancer.
Maybe your friend should marry a blow-up doll: she'll never look like a grandma. LOL
