Please, no fighting or anything.

Anyways, I was wondering if race mattered majorly if you are dating (or just friends)? For me no, as it depends on personlity.

I mean, I'm in college and if I find somebody who has similar likes to me or is succesful, I'd rather date theme if they are a different race than someone who isn't doing something in their life than their own race.

I'm just trying to see if my theory works....Toodles!

Race does not even come into play when it comes to dating.

There are a lot of beautiful women out there. I want all that I can have.

Seems to be another attempt at making people fight over stupid things. Personally I was never attracted to a nonwhite girl as far as dating I have been friends with few others of different races a good friend was half mexican half white actually got in tons of trouble together. So as far as dating would go no I stay with my race as far as friends I am not as stringent.

I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm just wondering if it education/status matters over race. To some people it does matter, I'm just wondering if, say a doctor would marry a ceo if that ceo was a different race. Or what factors play into the dating scene. Just something I always wondered.

Alright. I will go along with you. I didn't date my wife because of her job status or her skin color for that matter since I only date white women anyways it was never an issue with me at least. I dated her and married her because of her personality and the things we had in common.

My first husband is from Honduras and is Hispanic. I am white.

Now when I look back, the DIFFERECE was part of the attraction.

As far as education, I was lucky to get ouf of HS, he has a masters in physics.
