I think I should consider moving to Africa. Their lifestyle is more appealing to me. For example in Africa if you don't have a home or clothes, then you can go naked because it is the norm but in modern urbanized society you can't do that.

Pictures of African women:

Why should it matter whether someone's black, brown, white, blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple, indigo, gray, or what? We're just people! Our differences are only cultural.

Everyone is unique in some sense because no one really looks alike or thinks alike, not even brothers. That is why the concept of "race" is erroneous. Some people are much prettier than others but the concept of race is still erroneous in my opinion.

QFT.

I find myself attracted to most "races" of men. I never understood this race crap. The only reason I could see why people date within their race is due to location. I live in the midwest which prevalently white and black but mostly white.

I'm a little surprised to hear all of the comments from people saying that people don't want to marry outside of their race. Here in Hawaii, there are a lot of non-Asian men who are very interested in Asian women, and uninterested in women of their own race.

I don't buy into this whole Anglo-American racism that says that white women are somehow "better" or prettier than black women.

That's a myth that needs to be put to rest in my opinion because I've seen drop-gorgeous Ethiopian women and I live in Israel and there are a lot of beautiful Ethiopian women here.

Because they don't think outside the box and part of family belief in preserving culture etc. Me I don't care to much although recently I have been wanting to marry perhaps East Asian and have mixed babies. I don't just think outside the box I live outside it as a matter of fact I never knew there was a box.

I would also say familiarity and culture but personally I don't care. More and more people are marrying outside their race nowadays.

Yes, it should be put to rest. So why dig up a >1 year old thread?

It all boils down to what you like really.

I wouldn't mind if white women were voted the prettiest, that means less competition for all the other women.

Nambo-
"I like a quite life, I dont like the thought of being bossed around in my own home."

I'm curious, what makes you think you'd be bossed around in your own home? How many black woman have you dated? married? As a black woman I don't consider myself masculine and neither does the Asian guy I'm interested in.

You may not think so, but you are stereotyping.

Kudos to you. I don't think Tiger Woods ex-wife is anything out of the ordinary!
