do you think some people use race as excuse of not getting dates

They're going to find other options and if it's people of other races so be it. I have a friend like this

I think people should date outside their race, especially minorities because it's too limiting not to do so especially in areas where there may be only a few of your own race. I advise all my female friends to date outside their race and some already do. Plus my own husband himself is biracial, black and Filipino. I just think nighttrain's reasoning is odd that he no longer likes his own race.

ayy, sorry for the late reply, I just don't know why.. hmm, most of my exes before were shorter than I.
I prefer to be with someone not from my race.. :-)

3. Where did I paint everybody with a brush?

4. How am I hung up on race? This thread is about race.

5. I really dont care about your opinion of me.

women justify their preferences all of the time (height, looks). don't let them shame you for your choices or reasoning for your choice.

color/race falls in the same category as height/looks.... something you are attracted to in your partner which is unchangeable.

dating isn't "logic"...........its who/what you are attracted to.
