Are you attracted to any males outside your race?

Post Reply New Topic

You know, I don't think it's race that I'm considering when I'm attracted to someone. If you invited all of the men that I have been involved with (Please don't!) to a party and lined them up, I don't think you could find a physical trait (Except for being male) that they would have in common. I have dated blacks, Jews, Shorter than me, older, my same age, whit guys, a multiracial guy.

I think that initially, it's not really looks that attracts me, and then, when I get to know them, if I like them and respect them, over time they get more attractive and handsome.

That is, back when I used to date.

Not really an issue, I'm hispanic and the two guys I dated were Polish and Italian.

I don't tend to get attracted to people very often, but thinking back the guys I have been attracted to in the past tend towards mixed race - whether white/Asian, white/African, white/Middle Eastern...you get my drift. I'm white myself. I guess I like someone to look a bit different than me - but not too much. But really, it's not predictable like that for me. I don't think I have a 'type', as long as he has nice eyes.

Also, I fully agree with whoever mentioned Will Smith.

Skin color makes no difference to me.

Not sure if I've answered this thread or not, but I feel like answering anyway since I'll be officially hitting the dating circuit when I turn 18:

I am very attracted to African American and Asian men. I don't find my men of own race very attractive in general; though there are a few exceptions, such as Goo Goo Dolls front man Johnny Rzeznik.

I'm white English and have in the past between attracted to men of other ethnicities and nationalities.

I've previously had relationships with boyfriends of the following backgrounds:
* white, English X 2
* East African Asian muslim (family originally from pre-partition India, now Pakistan, born in Uganda, brought up in Zambia, moved to the UK at 16 to go to boarding school)
* West African Asian... erm... think he was nominally Hindu (family originally from India, was born in Liberia, moved to midlands in UK at some point in childhood/teenage years)
* East African Asian... erm... think he was nominally Sikh (family originally from India, was born in Tanzania, moved to the UK at 18 to go to uni, stayed, although his parents emigrated to Canada he never moved there with them)
* white, British (he was adopted by a couple, adoptive Jewish father, adoptive white English mother who converted to Judaism, weirdly, he actually looked very much like his adoptive father, because his biological mother was also supposed to be Jewish and also... I don't know, Latvian, Lithuanian or something, some kind of Eastern European jewish) Oh, but he loved bacon.
* white, British (maybe with Irish catholic roots?)
* mainland Chinese

I don't have a particular 'thing' for Asian guys, or any particular nationality or religion, they were just guys that I got to know either through work, a student society, or local politics, and they were the ones who were attracted to me and asked me out.

I had one date once with an African-American guy. He was a professional boxer and visiting my hometown as a sparring partner to some famous boxer for a big match. Werrandomly met and he asked me out on a date. We went to a restaurant and had a nice dinner in the suburb where I lived and then he came back for coffee (and I actually meant just coffee and a chat, although in hindsight I now realise that 'coffee' is often used as a euphemism in these situations). I left him in the sitting room chatting to my flatmate while I was in the tiny kitchen making coffee. They started arguing. My flatmate was British-Nigerian, i.e. her parents were originally from Nigeria but she was British born. She started giving him a hard time about how black guys are always interested in white women and never date black women (well, if you're that argumentative and unpleasant to people you've never met before, d'you wonder why? ) He was very lovely, a perfect gentleman with impeccable manners, but he never called me again after that. And even if he had, I think I would have felt uncomfortable because of what my flatmate said.

I've never dated a black guy since then. I've had a lot of attention from them, since in the UK I live in an area with a large afro-caribbean and african community, and many are regulars in my local pub. They like curvy women like me. But I just don't want any more grief, don't want to be labelled a 'BMW' and I don't like some of the cultural differences in terms of family and 'love em and leave em' attitudes.

Japanese. I definitely like the pretty, somewhat androgynous look a lot of young Japanese guys have.

Within the last few years Ive been mostly attracted to white men or mixed white(Im asian). Im not really all that attracted to asians anymore, I used to though. I've had a white boyfriend and the guy Im have a crush on now is white.

I could swear I had posted in this thread. Anyway...

I have always been attracted to darker men, though my husband is super pale white. I'm not really into the real dark black men or middle eastern but I think hispanic and lighter black men can be really attractive.

I had a crush on a Native American in the seventh grade. We were best buddies for a few weeks, and then I let it slip away. He really cared about me, and I was terrified my parents would find out. They are racist.
I think African American women are more attractive than men of the same race.
I think the weird trend to like Asian women is inspired by sex tourism.
White men are o.k. but it's hard to find one in Richmond that is diverse enough for me.

i replied a while back that i liked caucasian men
which i realized what i really was attracted to
was fairly light skinned tall men, not necessarily any certain
race but more of taller stature and not so dark
...plain tall would be nice

Dammit!! !! ! and I had such a good smart-mouthed retort too.... generally speaking yes. I find blacks to be appealing and mix breeds (bi/multi-racials) too but I'm not particularly attracted to latins or asians for some reason.
