I worked with a girl who knew I wasn't crazy about overweight women, based on comments I made to a guy I worked with, and not to her. She was then cool toward me after that because "her sister in Texas was fat, was NICE, and couldn't get dates." I don't own a crystal ball telling me what her fat sister in Texas looks like.

She later got her dig in. She had a fiance. He was also a Texan transplanted to CA. He was 6'0." I am 5'10." She tossed out, while a group of us was having lunch, "I would NEVER date a guy under 6'0"." I asked her "What if Mike was the exact same person, with the same looks, scrunched down to 5'10"?" She didn't answer.

I think we have every right to discriminate about who we might become physically intimate with. For my own part I've never been attracted in the very least to black men, despite the endless efforts of the US media to preach to me that as a white woman I should be sleeping with a black man.

Well gosh US media, I'm so sorry, but I'm just not in the very least attracted to them. I like my OWN KIND, and I think that to be quite natural, regardless of your socialist Agenda 21 aspirations. Sorry about that. I know what the media thinks is an attractive black man, but he does nothing for me. Again, sorry about that.

By the way, I'm also not the least interested in Muslim men who treat their women like chattel. I have a good deal more respect for myself than that. The LEFTIST media really need to stop pushing their sexual agenda at us.

I fully expect the LEFTIST moderators here to delete my post.

Dam, new kids on the block breaking down those barriers. I can see it now, the most

I think I have a preference to date within my race, but it doesn't mean I would not date outside of my race.

I went on a couple of dates with a gentleman who was part Asian and part Latino. He was nice. Didn't work out.

I also really don't think it is a big deal when people decide to date within their own race as people make it.
My geographical location is more of a not wanting too. Also, there's a good amount of "thuggish" black guys that sag their pants and wear tall t's. For someone who is around that and sees it on television; there's not much I can do to change their opinion, unless they are open to changing it themselves. It's sad to think about, since not all people outside of your particular race are bad people. Some people leave a lot of what life has to offer on the table, because they can't or are unwilling to step outside of their narrow minded box.

I'm never going to be the one to try and change their mind, because that's not my job. I think more people should be open to overall influence of other people and not just what your daddy, mommy, and neighbor feels is best. This goes for coworkers, friends, and lovers.

I agree with some of the basic points you make, you just make them in an offensive way.....

Could take a little of the hostile edge off and get the same result......

It depends on your reasoning. If you prefer to not date outside of your race, because that is who you are attracted to most, there is no problem with that. If you dont date outside of your race, because you find other races inferior, thats racism.

LOL...I was also highly obsessed with Macaulay Culkin when "Home Alone" came out, so he gets some credit too!
