non-hideous thin white girl complaining about discriminatory preferences in dating ??

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8mJHWJq.jpg[/IMG] Sums it up pretty well [editline]4th December 2016[/editline] A good response video: [video=youtube;9KiB-de8i_0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KiB-de8i_0[/video]

No one is required to date anyone, or give anyone a chance at love. The ONLY ONE who loses out by having these "discriminatory" preferences is the quote, unquote, discriminator. Because he/she/they may potentially lose out on a connection that is meaningful, or a love unlike any else they might have had in life. That being said, this video is horribly misguided because it tries to frame the negatives stemming from the "discriminator's" preference in the context of who he/she/they choose not to date.

well yeah, i'm not dating a fucking landwhale.

We are genetically predispositioned to make this distinction, it's in my DNA. I'm born with it.

if someone doesn't want to date me cause i have a dick fair fucking doos if someone thinks i deserve less rights because i have a dick and present as female then you can suck said dick its not fucking difficult, why are we purposely keeping ourselves arguing over the same shit oh my god

I'm white and want children that look like me. Fuck me, right?

To be honest, i could never date transgender if Id know she was he before. I couldn't get that idea out the back of my head, it just would feel wrong to me. It would be even worse if id found it out myself. Not knowing the person was transgender, i would feel so betrayed. I dont know why i feel a bit guilty posting this.

I struggle to believe that what you think is aesthetically pleasing in a person, or what genitals you find icky or titillating, is rooted so closely to media exposure and culture.

Does this make me a man-hater for not being sexually attracted to dudes? This is retarded

[QUOTE=phygon;51475311]non-hideous thin white girl complaining about discriminatory preferences in dating ??[/QUOTE] I dare call it she cause it looks like it's been beaten with an ugly stick. And I'm not basing this on her sexuality or gender or whatever, but purely on her opinions and in a metaphorical way.

I answered yes to all of the "would you date..." questions and this is still fucking stupid.

[QUOTE=Zombinie;51475390]I'm white and want babies that look like me. Fuck me, right?[/QUOTE] I'm so conflicted on this. I totally agree that preference is entirely personal but to deny that there is any leniency makes me uncomfortable. If you met a POC with whom you had a mutual attraction, would you inadvertently sabotage yourself because of this? Do you actually believe your kids can't look like you if they're mixed race?

95% sure people only think this shit because they're salty that some people aren't attracted to a class of people to which they belong. Just deal with it already. Not everyone is going to be attracted to you. If someone's just an ugly motherfucker, which may not be fixable by themselves, would you still say they are entitled to your attraction? What makes race or gender identity a protected class with regards to this? Particularly, why fat? That's largely a choice. It can be heavily influenced by things you can't control, like depression, but is someone with acne entitled to your affection too?

Why would I date somebody who is disabled, unintelligent and uninteresting, has (or has had in the past) physical ailments and chronic illnesses, is overweight and unhealthy, etc.? It doesn't make sense to. Health and intelligence are my biggest peeves; if there's even a chance that I could have a kid with them, and accidents do happen, then I want to at least be sure that it's going to come from a good genetic background and will probably grow up to be healthy. There's no way to be sure that that's how things will turn out, but it does help the odds when you've found someone who is in good condition and has a clean history. And I would never date a transgender person because I simply don't find the thought attractive. I don't necessarily want children, but I do want at least the option available to me; how would we deal with that besides adoption? Yeah, it is discriminatory. But that's too bad. That's how nature works. That's not to say I wouldn't be friends with these people, because if they were enjoyable to be around I absolutely would want to be friends with them. However, sex is something else entirely. Or at least it should be treated as something else entirely. It's kind of become a casual thing in our society, but it should be treated seriously and with respect. There's emotional ties that come with it to be considered, the chances of catching diseases... above all though, think about pregnancy and children: accidents do happen, so that should always be taken into account as well.

And this is coming from a straight male - though I've always been open to dating transgender people.

"If you are attracted to people with vaginas or people with penises it kinda feels like you're reducing people just to their genitals and objectifying them." Well fuck me, not being bisexual is reducing people to their genitals.

Preferences are discriminatory by definition. If you don't want to discriminate against anyone you need to have zero standards. I don't feel bad for being discriminatory, since I'm not even that picky. Also, I would totally date a black girl or a fat girl if she seems like the right person for me.

I would not strictly rule out a POC or large person, but when I dream of my ideal future with a suburban home, loving wife, and kids, the kids just happen to be white. It is possible but unlikely that someone amazing would change my preconceptions.

What if you're just not into dick?

Ah yes, there's actually some people who defend pedophiles because "it's just what you're into" and then go and tell me that I can think critically and change what I'm into. You like what you like, it can change over time (differing amounts) but if you're not into someone, you're not into them. Attraction is something built into us over the course of our evolution and during our lives and long-term experiences (short term if any trauma happens).

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;51475522]Plenty of trans people don't ever want sex reassignment surgery. What if you're just not into dick?[/QUOTE] That's a fair point. I had not considered that. For some reason that doesn't bother me though.

I would not date a fat person. I have no shame in saying that. I've lost over 100lbs, I would really struggle to put aside my biases and dislike of fat just because of that. The shit i've put myself through to lose weight, I have no shame in saying I wouldn't date a fat person who wasn't trying to be fit or healthyish.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;51475493]Particularly, why fat? That's largely a choice. It can be heavily influenced by things you can't control, like depression, but is someone with acne entitled to your affection too?[/QUOTE]what do you mean by this part?

Seriously if anyone tells you should be attracted to someone/something you're not they can fuck right off. I especially cringe at the weight issue. Being overweight is objectively worse than being within healthy range, from a health point. (which impacts the standard definition of beauty in most cultures) When I choose a partner, I'd want someone who is healthy, take care of themselves, raise kids, and live to be an old age without and disabilities. If people think that's somehow discriminatory then I don't know what to say, it's just nuts.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;51475538]what do you mean by this part?[/QUOTE] Being black is something you can't control. Being fat is something you can control, even if it can be heavily influenced by outside pressures. Same goes for acne. Uncontrollable shit can make it worse, but generally controlling it is within your power.

Like most people i have things that are attractive to me. I would never say I wouldn't date X,Y,Z ethnicity because I've found particular people attractive based on features. To say someone is discriminating because they don't date a particular person is foolish and stupid. I can't even really believe someone took the time to make a fucking video like this. Let alone have the nerve to say "lol ur racist"

Fuck who you want to fuck. Date who you want to date. Majority is not racist or a bigot. An extremely small minority makes these choices based on racism or bigotry. Fuck the people who harass and be condescending to said people who have it in their right to choose who to date. Usually the people who are trying to enforce the idea of breaking down your preferences are the people who you typically don't want to date no matter who they are, funny enough.
