X people are racist sounds better than X people don't want to date me because I'm not physically attractive to them.
I'm a black female living in the US, and these threads always seem to pop up about the desirability of black women (as they do with Asian men) and these threads are always a mess.
This conversation doesn't affect me, because I don't care how desirable the concept of black women is to some on the internet. In the end I have no problem whatsoever attracting men of all different backgrounds.
It is a simple question, I noticed some odd posts on here by fellow Desi but it applies to anyone, at what point do people need to ask more people out, try harder, put themselves out and about more, or improve their social skills instead of trumpeting race cards. Thanks yaw
said it before and say it again: one person cannot really say what has been a factor in another person's life regarding relationships. just b/c something wasn't a factor for YOU (not you in particular but in general) doesn't apply to everyone else.....p.s. I get tired of the term 'race card' it's played out.
Under the term "Asian" why are people bunching Indian men and east Asian men (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino etc.) together when it comes to dating?
They're very physically different and there's a LOT of women (of all ethnicities) who are open to Indian men who wouldn't go for east Asian guys. This is certainly true in Europe...
Oh, I am dating a guy not from my race. It doesn't mean I am dating him because I cant get dates from my own( had a lot before ) but we have common likes, interests..
I think that people who assume that their race is the only reason they don't get dates are being a little dense. But it's true that there are folks out there who have preferences for race, so it's not completely out there to think that some people might not be considering you since you fall outside their racial preference.
Not so much racial (because this is a social construct that can be changed to be fit an idea or logic) but culture/ethnic reasons. Yes these do come into when considering why one might not be chosen. The bigger picture though is about what that individual is attracted to. You may be too small/big, too tall/short, your skin may not be clear enough, you may not present yourself well, maybe its your attitude, or it could be the things that are said the person catches that can be a turn off before they even approach you.
On the other hand, for a lot of individuals in this country, as diverse and progressive as we try to make our society seems, race is a big factor for people who are not getting dates/husbands/wives. As for me this isn't the issue I just outright keep it real and say that the men around me who choose not to approach do so because they are not attracted to me. No more no less and vice versa
well, I'm asian and his european..I don't find my race attractive in my eyes at all hehehe
Why not, if you don't mind me asking?
