To me, and of course I'm not a woman, neither makes any difference to me.
I talked to my wife about it, and she said she definitely discriminated in terms of height AND in terms of race. She refused to date short men (under 5-10) and would only have considered a man of a different race if he had been phenomenally good-looking.
To me, this is on the money. This is what I usually hear from women. I'm about 5'10 in shoes, so I narrowly make the cutoff point (and women bluntly tell me if I was any shorter, they would not date me).
Your presumptuousness in that regard probably says more about your dating habits than mine. But if you must know, I tend to have a soft spot for biracial (black/white) and creole women, but I am taken by the striking beauty inherent in every race, color, and nationality of woman.
You dodged my question. Why? Did I guess correctly? If I did, why can't you just admit it? Why the shame to your game? Do you feel there is something wrong with dating according to personal preferences? I certainly don't. So I asked about your race because you created this thread about interracial dating. It's a fair question. Have you tried dating white women who liked you on the phone, then rejected you in person when they discovered you are black? Are you tall, and hoping your height will trump your race?
Inquiring minds, let's get at the real point of this thread!

This is actually quite true about most women I have seen, unless their target is dating a man of a different race, they usually only give consideration to a man of a different race only if he is phenomenally good looking, however, good looking here isn't universal, it's very subjective, while some aspects of beauty are universal for men(height, a proportionate face, sparkling eyes, good teeth and hair, not being obese/overweight) etc, the exact nature of the good looking factor varies tremendously in my experience.
hmm, not that CD is a good representation of men (lets hope not), but many many posters who are not white, complain about not being able to attract white girls/men, so i'm not sure your theory holds true.
Most of the Americanized ones might, but it all depends on the kind of status they have in the society, in terms of their upbringing, e.g., whether they grew up in a rural village, city suburbs, high income neighborhood etc etc. For example, an Asian or an Indian(or South Asian for that matter) man that grew up in a well to do neighborhood going to school studying say law or medicine wouldn't really have any problem attracting women of any race unless he's deformed or a total jerk, the ones that come in their mid 20s or 30s are usually not too interested in the women here or are already engaged/married to people from their own place, even if some of them were attracted, they sometimes might have trouble since they might have not assimilated to the extent that the white women would be comfortable with.
Again, most of the men that are interested in White women to the most extent IMO happen to be either White men themselves or to a lesser extent, Black men.

No need to badger. I have already answered your question. I am sorry the answer failed to validate your assumption regarding my intent.
Sorry that the white women you want to date have the same tastes as you: white. If it's ok for you to have that preference, it's ok for them too.
Who said I had a preference, much less for white women? Your persistence on the matter probably bespeaks an underlying racial complex for which I am afraid I currently lack the proper credentials to thoroughly evaluate.

Terribly written paragraph. It's awful... please stop trying so hard. As for the content of your post: you made the thread, sorry to point out the obvious to you.

I'm sorry you're having trouble following along. Simply put, the only thing obvious to me is your bitterness, which I would hazard to guess comes from some form of racial resentment when it comes to dating.
